South Carolina teens share their stories and ideas about how to
make their home state better. How can we make South Carolina
better? Normally this question is reserved for lawmakers and
voters, but Writing South Carolina, volume 3, gives voice to 50
high school juniors and seniors from across the State who have
offered suggestions. The University of South Carolina Honors
College annual writing contest presents a necessary voice for them
as well as a revealing portrait of their lives and desires using
their own words and insights. Contest judge Mary Alice Monroe has
said of the contributing students, "They are astonishingly
talented, further ahead in the game than I was at their age."
Through a variety of short, creative genres, students share their
own gripping experiences in South Carolina, often about growing up
and going to school here. This year's selections range from poems
about the cycle of abuse to short stories about minimum wage to
essays about problematic sex education in public schools. Writing
South Carolina, volume 3, offers a collection steeped in
creativity, honesty, and clarity. High school students witness and
encounter some of the most subtle and serious problems in South
Carolina's school system-and they demand change. Monroe, a New York
Times best-selling author of children's books and novels, including
A Lowcountry Christmas and The Butterfly's Daughter, provides a
foreword.
"All of you who contributed to this book write much better than I
did in high school." That remarkable observation was made by Pat
Conroy in the foreword to the first collection of student writing
generated by the South Carolina High School Writing Contest, and it
embodies the contest's goals: to encourage young people to write,
to think deeply and creatively, to express themselves and thereby
to recognize and cultivate their abilities. This second volume of
Writing South Carolina features the insightful and inspiring
entries of each of the twenty-nine winners and finalists: high
school juniors and seniors who were challenged to share, using any
genre, their ideas for making South Carolina a better place to
live.

Founded in 2013 by Steven Lynn, dean of the South Carolina Honors
College, this annual writing contest was designed to engage the
state's future leaders and thinkers. Each year the Honors College
invited South Carolina high school juniors and seniors to respond
to the question "How can we make South Carolina better?" in 750
words or fewer, in the genre of their choice. The finalists,
selected by a panel of preliminary judges, were invited to the
University of South Carolina campus for a second round comprising a
forty-minute impromptu writing contest. This round was evaluated by
two grand judges--South Carolina natives who have achieved national
acclaim: short-story writer and novelist Pam Durban and poet Nikky
Finney. Each chose a topic for the impromptu contest: write about a
meaningful book and complete the statement "I come from...." This
volume features the writing of the seventy-one finalists from the
2016-17 South Carolina High School Writing Contest.
Sex and Salvation explores the growth and development of virginity
in the cultural contexts of the ancient church. An examination of
Greek, Roman, and Jewish literature, which speaks to the issues of
virginity, reveals that the Christian understanding of life-long
virginity was a foreign concept to the peoples and cultures of the
ancient Mediterranean world. In a time when families and
authorities demanded that women follow the ancient tradition of
marriage and motherhood, a growing number of important Christian
authors were calling for a life free from the "dangerous" sexual
passions that beset all women. In Sex and Salvation, author Roger
Steven Evans gathers over thirty documents from early Catholic,
pseudopigraphical and heterodox letters, epistles, apologies, and
canon law that trace the importance of virginity in early
Christianity. Evans contends that the sexual ethic established by
early Christian authors has reverberated throughout the intervening
centuries, and is still being felt in the post modern world of the
21st century.
