Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beliefs of the Unbelievers, and Other Discourses My own information on these matters is got at second hand. But deeming the New American Cyclopedia a good authority, I consulted it, _ and therein read that the vast plain east of the {ocky Mountains, including the great lakes and mighty rivers, is the most fertile region of the continent. A Mr. Frost, of Nebraska, stated some time ago, that he had been searching ten years for the Great American Desert, and had found a tract of country that would support the millions of a future popula tion. If Mr. James reported correctly the superficial aspect of the country, he did not do justice to the geological character of the soil.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beliefs of the Unbelievers, and Other Discourses In a Swedenborgian book, written thirty years ago, on the Inspiration of the Bible, I find a description of a "horrid desart" occupying hundreds of square miles of the territory that lies between the Mississippi river and the Rocky Mountains. In this "frightful district," says the writer, "vegetation is mostly confined to tufts of withered grass, prickly pears, and those succulent and saline plants which can derive subsistence out of the most arid, sandy, and sterile soils. A species of cactus, known as the Cactus ferox, reigns sole monarch over myriads of acres of these desolate plains. Another species, called the Cactus cylindricus, grows singly and forms a cluster by itself, increasing to such a size that, seen from a distance, it is frequently mistaken for a bison.

Download or read book John Howard Yoder written by Mark Nation and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Howard Yoder (1927 1997) was a leading Christian witness against violence, articulating a theology from his own tradition so powerful that it compelled people from many other traditions to take notice. The war on terror, the temptations of nationalism, and the painful divisions between those who call themselves followers of Jesus signal our need to hear Yoder's voice again at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In his book Mark Thiessen Nation provides an insider's introduction to Yoder, demonstrating how a committed Mennonite could also be profoundly evangelical in his witness and broadly catholic in his Christian sensibilities. Taking us into Yoder's life and writings, Nation explores Yoder's context, his keen interest in the Anabaptist tradition, his sustained engagement with other Christians and other faiths, and his claim that pacifism is inherent to Jesus' message.
