Known only to each other, they have walked among us, invisible and undetected for years. But now, the secret is out Atheists exist in the African American community. In the African American community there is an unspoken rule to never air dirty laundry in public, and for years the inner workings of the black community stayed hidden beneath a veil of dark silence, but with integration came a mingling of the races and now few secrets remain. Now, there is one less. Not only do black nonbelievers exist, they walk unnoticed among the "true-believers" along with a host of other religious skeptics and freethinkers.

Until now, any hints of atheism or freethought in the African American community have remained virtually invisible, camouflaged by indignant denial and indistinct expressions, such as secularist, nontheist, skeptic or humanist among others which help conceal clear atheistic, agnostic or freethought connections which are certainly not conventional and clearly go against black mainstream thinking. Despite more than 90% of African Americans claiming Christianity, "Black and Not Baptist" explores how there is a significant chasm between belief and behavior with a searing look at the statistics for adultery, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, gambling and other social problems in both the white and black communities. In the manner of "Norm Allen's African American Humanism: An Anthology," "Black and Not Baptist" exposes another side of the black religious experience with the individual stories of black atheists and agnostics, including a historical and current listing of black freethinkers and nonbelievers similar to Warren Allen Smith's Who's Who in Hell.

This is the third volume of Luzac's Oriental Religions Series. The theories discussed in this book are based on a study of that intricate demonology which has gradually developed throughout the lands of Western Asia. The study of tabu from the Assyrian side had been comparatively neglected and the evidence gleaned from the cuneiform writings shows that it existed in practically the same form in Mesopotamia as in other countries. The material the author could gather was imperfect and the relative scientific value of what was actually known on the subject is proportionate to the amount of evidence which may be afforded at some later date by documents in the British Museum that were not released for this book.

With letters written from December 1910 to January 1919, inclusive. Being the authorized messenger for the Brothers of the Rosicrucian Order and consequently in close touch with them, Mr. Heindel was continuously receiving and giving out occult information to his students relative to the past, present and future evolution of life and form, which on account of his tutelage under the Brothers of the Order, he was able to verify for himself and to which he was able to add many details. The letters in this book give many side lights on the Rosicrucian philosophy and many practical, helpful hints for living the life of the Christian mystic.

The author includes a section as an answer to the arguments of Hume, Lecky and others against miracles.

He then discusses at some length the biological and psychological peculiarities of the case, from the point of view of one who assumes, on the strength of the existing testimony, that the facts are established.
