Back cover text: In Christianity in the Roman Empire, Harold Mattingly traces the course of two mighty empires, the Roman and the Christian - one declining, one growing - to determine how they influenced each other. Rome, fighting her way up from a city state, was "the power marked out by native capacity, geographical position, and conjunction of events to give unity to a distracted world." As the Republic grew and became an Empire, however, size and centralization of government brought a vast inflation of the civil and military service, and widespread misery and economic disorder. Under these circumstances, the Christian church struggled to establish itself.

Identity and the life cycle

"The problem of Ego Identity" is dealt with successively from the biographic and the developmental, the clinical and the social points of view. "Growth and Crises of the Healthy Personality" is an elaboration of the original attempt to go beyond childhood and adolescence and to spell out the critical stages of the whole life cycle.

What if imagination and art are not, as many of us might think, the frosting on life, but the fountainhead of human experience? What if our logic and science derive from art forms, rather than the other way around?In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement. A renowned therapist and inspiring guide, Dr. May draws on his experience to show how we can break out of old patterns in our lives. His insightful book offers us a way through our fears into a fully realized self.

"This is one of those rare books that quickly became the standard work in its field. Professor White has done justice to the complexity of her subject."―Anne Firor Scott, Duke University Living with the dual burdens of racism and sexism, slave women in the plantation South assumed roles within the family and community that contrasted sharply with traditional female roles in the larger American society. This new edition of Ar'n't I a Woman? reviews and updates the scholarship on slave women and the slave family, exploring new ways of understanding the intersection of race and gender and comparing the myths that stereotyped female slaves with the realities of their lives. Above all, this groundbreaking study shows us how black women experienced freedom in the Reconstruction South ― their heroic struggle to gain their rights, hold their families together, resist economic and sexual oppression, and maintain their sense of womanhood against all odds.
