Confronting Genocide: Judaism, Christianity, Islam is the first
collection of essays by recognized scholars primarily in the field
of religious studies to address this timely topic. In addition to
theoretical thinking about both religion and genocide and the
relationship between the two, these authors look at the tragedies
of the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, Rwanda, Bosnia, and the
Sudan from their own unique vantage point. In so doing, they supply
a much needed additional contribution to the ongoing conversations
proffered by historians, political scientists, sociologists,
psychologists, and legal scholars regarding prevention,
intervention, and punishment.

This work, based on archival research, contests the assumptions
that Romania remained pro-Western in the late 1930s and only joined
the Axis as a result of Western negligence and German pressure.
Instead, Germany was drawn by Romanian politicians into political
and economic cooperation with Bucharest. In the event, this proved
Romania's undoing. Let down by her German protector, she was forced
to cede territory to the Soviet Union, Hungary and Bulgaria.
Subsequently, Romania was allowed into the alliance she sought with
Germany.
The figure of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) has become a clay
puppet in modern American politics. Secular, radical, liberal, and
evangelical interpreters variously shape and mold the martyr's
legacy to suit their own pet agendas. Stephen Haynes offers an
incisive and clarifying perspective. A recognized Bonhoeffer
expert, Haynes examines "populist" readings of Bonhoeffer,
including the acclaimed biography by Eric Metaxas, Bonhoeffer:
Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy. In his analysis Haynes treats, among
other things, the November 2016 election of Donald Trump and the
"Bonhoeffer moment" announced by evangelicals in response to the US
Supreme Court's 2015 decision to legalize same-sex marriage. The
Battle for Bonhoeffer includes an open letter from Haynes pointedly
addressing Christians who still support Trump. Bonhoeffer's legacy
matters. Haynes redeems the life and the man.
Nineteenth-century America saw numerous campaigns against
masturbation, which was said to cause illness, insanity, and even
death. Riotous Flesh explores women's leadership of those
movements, with a specific focus on their rhetorical, social, and
political effects, showing how a desire to transform the politics
of sex created unexpected alliances between groups that otherwise
had very different goals. As April Haynes shows, the crusade
against female masturbation was rooted in a generally shared
agreement on some major points: that girls and women were as
susceptible to masturbation as boys and men; that "self-abuse" was
rooted in a lack of sexual information; and that sex education
could empower women and girls to master their own bodies. Yet the
groups who made this education their goal ranged widely, from
"ultra" utopians and nascent feminists to black abolitionists.
Riotous Flesh explains how and why diverse women came together to
popularize, then institutionalize, the condemnation of
masturbation, well before the advent of sexology or the
professionalization of medicine.
This book develops a comprehensive approach, known as the Ranking
Technique, for the assessment of decision options. It aims to
provide a way of presenting a decision maker with a consistent
method of making a thorough assessment of all the factors
associated with complex decisions. The Ranking Technique is based
on a detailed analysis of all the issues involved and presents the
results in a simple manner which should be understandable by the
lay public not versed in the complexities of the issues involved.
Ranking Technique is illustrated by application to four major
decisions that have caused controversy and one fuel resource
evaluation, although it is stressed that the Technique is
applicable to all decision-making situations. The study describes
how technical, economic and socio-political factors can be
evaluated and their significance integrated to give a comprehensive
assessment of the decision options.
This volume introduces the reader to the most important methods
of biblical criticism. It serves as an indispensable handbook for
the work of students approaching biblical studies for the first
time and for the professional interpreter of scripture who wants to
understand the latest currents in biblical scholarship.
An award-winning barbecue cook boldly asserts that barbecuing is a
unique American tradition that was not imported. The origin story
of barbecue is a popular topic with a ravenous audience, but
commonly held understandings of barbecue are often plagued by
half-truths and misconceptions. From Barbycu to Barbecue offers a
fresh new look at the story of southern barbecuing. Award winning
barbecue cook Joseph R. Haynes sets out to correct one of the most
common barbecue myths, the "Caribbean Origins Theory," which holds
that the original southern barbecuing technique was imported from
the Caribbean to what is today the American South. Rather, Haynes
argues, the southern whole carcass barbecuing technique that came
to define the American tradition developed via direct and indirect
collaboration between Native Americans, Europeans, and free and
enslaved people of African descent during the seventeenth century.
Haynes's barbycu-to-barbecue history analyzes historical sources
throughout the Americas that show that the southern barbecuing
technique is as unique to the United States as jerked hog is to
Jamaica and barbacoa is to Mexico. A recipe in each chapter
provides a contemporary interpretation of a historical technique.
