Download or read book Confession of an Indifferent Witness written by Tom Rothschild and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-01-24 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of an Indifferent Witness is a science fiction tale taking place in the 1800’s. The main character, Melissa, is deeply involved in scientific studies of a number of different questions she has about the physical world. Along with her assistants, Susan and Jane, she makes some astounding discoveries which could be significant worldwide, as I’ve described in the novel The Inevitable Fall (© 1998, Vantage Press, Inc.). These two books are a part of The Melissa Saga. This book (Confessions) follows Susan and Jane as they make their way through life, and what happens when they meet and are hired by Melissa. They are not the main characters, though they have certainly influenced events as Melissa proceeds to solve problems others have only hypothesized about. Susan and Jane have met other people who, also, are concerned with weightier questions. Alisha is an example. I have included a "work", or an appendix, by Alisha’s husband as a point of fact. Of course, I have added current examples to make its theoretical points more relevant. However, I don’t believe there is any conflict between my 20th Century details and the 19th Century statements in Previously Deleted (Formerly Titled "Looking for Miss No-Show"). Just in case, I even adjusted the title of the "work" to steer clear of any complications.
Download or read book Captain Kidd and the War against the Pirates written by Robert C. Ritchie and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1989-03-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legends that die hardest are those of the romantic outlaw, and those of swashbuckling pirates are surely among the most durable. Swift ships, snug inns, treasures buried by torchlight, palm-fringed beaches, fabulous riches, and, most of all, freedom from the mean life of the laboring man are the stuff of this tradition reinforced by many a novel and film. It is disconcerting to think of such dashing scoundrels as slaves to economic forces, but so they were—as Robert Ritchie demonstrates in this lively history of piracy. He focuses on the shadowy figure of William Kidd, whose career in the late seventeenth century swept him from the Caribbean to New York, to London, to the Indian Ocean before he ended in Newgate prison and on the gallows. Piracy in those days was encouraged by governments that could not afford to maintain a navy in peacetime. Kidd’s most famous voyage was sponsored by some of the most powerful men in England, and even though such patronage granted him extraordinary privileges, it tied him to the political fortunes of the mighty Whig leaders. When their influence waned, the opposition seized upon Kidd as a weapon. Previously sympathetic merchants and shipowners did an about-face too and joined the navy in hunting down Kidd and other pirates. By the early eighteenth century, pirates were on their way to becoming anachronisms. Ritchie’s wide-ranging research has probed this shift in the context of actual voyages, sea fights, and adventures ashore. What sort of men became pirates in the first place, and why did they choose such an occupation? What was life like aboard a pirate ship? How many pirates actually became wealthy? How were they governed? What large forces really caused their downfall? As the saga of the buccaneers unfolds, we see the impact of early modern life: social changes and Anglo-American politics, the English judicial system, colonial empires, rising capitalism, and the maturing bureaucratic state are all interwoven in the story. Best of all, Captain Kidd and the War against the Pirates is an epic of adventure on the high seas and a tale of back-room politics on land that captures the mind and the imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the understanding that confession is a witness to the gospel, Confessing the Faith Today investigates how a sixteenth-century Reformation confession, the Belgic Confession, can assist contemporary Christians testify to the truth of Gods gracious turn toward creation and do so in the context of the twenty-first century's competing claims. A close examination of the internal coherence of the Belgic Confession, along with an exploration of how that confession might engage contemporary life, offers fresh insight into how Christians might articulate what is at stake in the gospel. Janssen encourages the church to enter a conversation with the forebears of the faith, acknowledging the historical nature of not only the confession but of God's involvement in all creation.

Download or read book My Soul Is a Witness written by Mari N. Crabtree and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate look at the afterlife of lynching through the personal stories of Black victims and survivors who lived through and beyond its trauma Mari N. Crabtree traces the long afterlife of lynching in the South through the traumatic memories it left in its wake. She unearths how African American victims and survivors found ways to live through and beyond the horrors of lynching, offering a theory of African American collective trauma and memory rooted in the ironic spirit of the blues sensibility--a spirit of misdirection and cunning that blends joy and pain. Black southerners often shielded their loved ones from the most painful memories of local lynchings with strategic silences but also told lynching stories about vengeful ghosts or a wrathful God or the deathbed confessions of a lyncher tormented by his past. They protested lynching and its legacies through art and activism, and they mourned those lost to a mob's fury. They infused a blues element into their lynching narratives to confront traumatic memories and keep the blues at bay, even if just for a spell. Telling their stories troubles the simplistic binary of resistance or submission that has tended to dominate narratives of Black life and reminds us that amid the utter devastation of lynching were glimmers of hope and an affirmation of life.
