This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahoney examines how members of the middle class from small cities across the great West were transformed by boom and bust, years of recession, and civil war. He argues that in their encounters with national economic forces, the national crisis in politics, and the Civil War, middle class people were cut adrift from the social identity that they had established in the 'face to face' communities of the 'hometowns' of the urban West. By grounding them in their hometown ethos, and understanding how the Panic of 1857 and the subsequent recession undermined their lives, the author provides important insights into how they encountered, responded to, and were changed by their experiences in the Civil War. Providing a rare view of social history through the framework of the Civil War, the author documents, in both breadth and depth, the dramatic change and development of modern life in nineteenth-century America.

Book excerpt: The Great Catechetical Oration (or Address on Religious Instruction) is perhaps the most successful work of St. Gregory of Nyssa (335 - 395 A.D.). In it, he gives a systematic overview of theology in miniature, laying out the Christian view of how human nature, lost from the fall of Adam, has been restored to the image of God. The work is divided into three parts 1) The Trinity, 2) The Reasonableness of the Incarnation, 3) The Sacraments. The text for this book is from "Gregory of Nyssa: dogmatic treatises, etc.," New York: Christian Literature Co., 1893, translated by H. A. Wilson (1854-1927). The original footnotes are preserved along with the Bible references. This version is also illustrated with artwork from the middle ages and the renaissance period, which depict points expounded upon in the catechism.
