He had Elvis' private phone number. He spent an afternoon with a young activist named Martin Luther King, Jr. He talked for hours sipping soda with evangelist Billy Graham. In his memoirs, Final Edition and Me, LaRue Gilleland shares his reporting of these young and up-and-coming game changers and recounts numerous stories from his impressive journalism career including posing as a bootleg whiskey buyer to uncover a local moonshine operation, interviewing a woman who had murdered and sawed her husband into pieces, escaping from a forbidden night club in the old Soviet Union, and failing to measure up to an invitation from movie actress Joan Crawford. A self-professed "hillbilly," Gilleland grew up in a small town in Missouri just north of the Lake of the Ozarks in the 1930s. He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the prestigious University of Missouri, Columbia, School of Journalism. Gilleland's career as a reporter took him from Honolulu, to L.A., to Tuls...

Andrew Sibley argues that as a result of the rise of the Darwinian faith system and belief in the certainty of technological progress and unrestrained capitalism, we have lost a proper respect for nature and humanity. Ethical standards are now based on subjective criteria where each person is able to decide his or her own conduct, often living for self in a grand struggle for survival. No more is seen the providential God who offers blessing and grace to mankind, nor the divine Sovereign who requires people to live in partnership with his will and purpose. However, the Christian tradition known as Natural Theology has seen in nature the appearance of design, but more than that, it has pointed to the power, wisdom and goodness of the Designer and goes on to inform our conduct as Paul noted in Romans 1:20. This twin book approach enriches our lives, with the book of Scripture in the one hand, and the book of nature in the other, giving mankind rights, duties and a purpose in caring for o...

The present volume gathers nine papers that present new empirical data and theoretical findings on the significance of ritual for performers and participants, for certain social groups or for an entire society. Starting with an introduction by Gabriela Kilianova, the case studies by Tatiana Buzekova, Gebhard Fartacek, Andre Gingrich, Christian Jahoda, Eva-Maria Knoll, Maria-Katharina Lang, Helmut Lukas and Joanna Pfaff-Czarnecka contribute notably to the current discourse on ritual performances, whose power and effectiveness lend them an enduring fascination for the social anthropological research community and beyond. Although the authors have approached their cases from a variety of theoretical standpoints and methodological approaches, all of them have focused on the question: how does ritual become a possible source of conflict or consensus in society, and also how may it be instrumental in avoiding conflict and bringing about consensus? The search for answers to this question prod...

A fascinating, wide-ranging survey of the history of possession and exorcism through the ages In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the era of the Reformation, thousands of Europeans were thought to be possessed by demons. In response to their horrifying symptoms-violent convulsions, displays of preternatural strength, vomiting of foreign objects, displaying contempt for sacred objects, and others-exorcists were summoned to expel the evil spirits from victims' bodies. This compelling book focuses on possession and exorcism in the Reformation period, but also reaches back to the fifteenth century and forward to our own times. Entire convents of nuns in French, Italian, and Spanish towns, 30 boys in an Amsterdam orphanage, a small group of young girls in Salem, Massachusetts-these are among the instances of demon possession in the United States and throughout Europe that Brian Levack closely examines, taking into account the diverse interpretations of generations of theologians...
