That white Americans continue to insist upon a white Christ in the face of all historical evidence to the contrary and despite the hundreds of shrines to Black Madonnas all over the world, is the crowning demonstration of their white supremacist conviction that all things good and valuable must be white. On the other hand, until black Christians are ready to challenge this lie, they have not freed themselves from their spiritual bondage to the white man nor established in their own minds their right to first-class citizenship in Christ's kingdom on earth.
War has been a dominant theme in Australian history, but there is an alternative story. In every conflict, from the Sudan campaign of 1885 to Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War (1966–73), there have been war resisters and conscientious objectors to military service and conscription. Peacemongers tells their story. War resisters endured physical violence, prison, financial hardship, and emotional trauma. Many had a strong Christian faith that forbade killing fellow humans, while others objected to coercion and believed in freedom of choice. Originally, a small minority opposed conscription and war. This changed with the mass protests against the Vietnam War. Thousands took to the streets. Those who refused to enlist faced prison terms of up to two years but still they stood firm. Despite being branded as cowards, they showed that it took a special type of courage to resist war.

Sacred Ground is a sumptuous photographic portrait of New Orleans's legendary cemeteries. Robert S. Brantley celebrates the otherworldly landscapes, intricate ironwork, evocative memorials, and stately monuments as vibrant sites of remembrance.

Catholics across Borders examines the evolution of a French-speaking population in Plattsburgh over a century. Contrasting with New England's francophone textile mill centers, Plattsburgh featured interethnic cooperation instead of conflict. The book explores how international events affected French Catholic identity at the local level, drawing from French-language newspapers and Catholic archives. Transnational Catholic migrants from Canada and France played a significant role in shaping local, regional, national, and international history in Plattsburgh and beyond, contributing to the larger narrative of the U.S. immigrant experience. This study provides a historic perspective for understanding the present.
