The electric and daring independent wrestling tag team share their
inspiring story of how two undersized, ambitious athletes from
Southern California became the idols of millions of popular sports
fans, coveted among the ranks of AEW's elite wrestling lineup.
Featuring over 60 photographs and alternating between each
brother's perspective, this entertaining memoir is a complete
portrait of what it means to grow into-and give back to-wrestling,
the sport and profession they embody and love. Famous for their
highflying moves, Superkicks, and viral videos, Matt and Nick
Jackson are two of the hottest and most talented competitors in
professional wrestling today. Known as the Young Bucks, this pair
of ambitious brothers are an inspiration to both fans and aspiring
wrestlers worldwide due to their message of resilience and
determination. That they are also faithful family men devoted to
their loved ones gives them additional appeal. Young Bucks begins
in Southern California, where two young boys grew up dreaming of
success and fame. Matt and Nick look back on the sacrifices they
made to achieve their ambitions, from taking odd jobs to pay for
their own wrestling ring to hosting backyard events with friends.
They share their joy at being recruited into the independent
California wrestling circuit and the work it took to finally make
it professionally, and speak frankly about what it means to have
the support of millions of fans cheering their talents in arenas
nationwide. The Young Bucks talk endearingly about their sport,
their faith, and their families, sharing personal reflections and
behind-the-scenes anecdotes while paying tribute to the wrestling
acts and inspirations that came before them. They also elaborate on
this historical time in the evolution of wrestling, as the sport
and its culture dramatically change day by day. Told with the
brothers' signature wit and charm, Young Bucks is warm, heartfelt
story of hope, perseverance, and undying ambition.
A fresh exploration of the category Jewish Christianity, from its
invention in the Enlightenment to contemporary debates For hundreds
of years, historians have been asking fundamental questions about
the separation of Christianity from Judaism in antiquity. Matt
Jackson-McCabe argues provocatively that the concept "Jewish
Christianity," which has been central to scholarly reconstructions,
represents an enduring legacy of Christian apologetics.
Freethinkers of the English Enlightenment created this category as
a means of isolating a distinctly Christian religion from what
otherwise appeared to be the Jewish culture of Jesus and the
apostles. Tracing the development of this patently modern concept
of a Jewish Christianity from its origins to early
twenty-first-century scholarship, Jackson-McCabe shows how a
category that began as a way to reimagine the apologetic notion of
an authoritative "original Christianity" continues to cause
problems in the contemporary study of Jewish and Christian
antiquity. He draws on promising new approaches to Christianity and
Judaism as socially constructed terms of identity to argue that
historians would do better to leave the concept of Jewish
Christianity behind.
Have you ever felt like the Universe is doubled over laughing at
you? Like you're the butt of some great cosmic joke? Fear not You

we hope you'll find a feeling of kinship with our twenty-five
free-spirited wanderers as they relate some of their craziest,
wackiest, funniest and most inspiring tales of travel from the far
side and beyond.
