This volume is a continuation of our series exploring Saint
Augustine's influence on later thought, this time bringing the
fifth century bishop into dialogue with 19th century philosopher,
theologian, social critic, and originator of Existentialism, Soren
Kierkegaard. The connections, contrasts, and sometimes surprising
similarities of their thought are uncovered and analyzed in topics
such as exile and pilgrimage, time and restlessness, inwardness and
the church, as well as suffering, evil, and humility. The
implications of this analysis are profound and far-reaching for
theology, ecclesiology, and ethics.

Chris Magee was the leading ace under Major Gregory "Pappy"
Boyington of the Marine Corp's legendary Black Sheep Squadron. A
free-spirited intellectual with the heart of a warrior and the soul
of a poet, Magee grew up on Chicago's rambunctious South Side
dreaming of the day when he could fly fighter planes into combat.
Magee's determination to achieve his goal prompted him to join the
Royal Canadian Air Force as a flying cadet in 1941. Later, after
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought America into the war,
he transferred to the U.S. Marine Corps. Following completion of
flight training, he was sent to the South Pacific where his bravery
and piloting skills earned him both the enduring respect of his
fellow aviators and the Navy Cross. When the war ended, the
fiercely independent Magee refused to pursue a conventional
lifestyle or take advantage of the fame that awaited him in his
hometown, choosing instead to seek new adventures. During the next
twelve years he walked the razor's edge: black marketeer,
bootlegger, volunteer fighter pilot for the fledgling nation of
Israel, courier for a covert group of U.S. "businessmen" involved
in Latin American politics, and, eventually, bank robber. Magee
would pay dearly for the choices he made, losing family, friends,
and his cherished freedom. In his middle years, he turned his life
around and became a respected journalist. By age 70, he had
resigned himself to a stoic retirement in a rustic apartment on
Chicago's North Side. Then, one day, Chris Magee found an envelope
slipped under his front door with a note inside that ultimately
changed his life, causing him to revisit parts of his past he
thought were forever forgotten.

In the 1920s, the South Side was looked on as the new Black
Metropolis, but by the turn of the decade that vision was already
in decline a victim of the Depression. In this timely book,
Christopher Robert Reed explores early Depression-era politics on
Chicago's South Side. The economic crisis caused diverse responses
from groups in the black community, distinguished by their
political ideologies and stated goals. Some favored government
intervention, others reform of social services. Some found
expression in mass street demonstrations, militant advocacy of
expanded civil rights, or revolutionary calls for a complete
overhaul of the capitalist economic system. Reed examines the
complex interactions among these various groups as they played out
within the community as it sought to find common ground to address
the economic stresses that threatened to tear the Black Metropolis
apart."
