Sinopsis

In "American Indian Freemasonry," Arthur C. Parker provides an incisive exploration of the intersections between Native American culture and the Masonic tradition, a theme that remains largely under-examined in both Freemasonry and Indigenous studies. The book weaves together historical context, personal narratives, and social analysis, using a mix of ethnographic detail and introspective prose that mirrors the dual heritage of its subjects. Through careful examinations of rituals, symbols, and community networks, Parker elucidates how Freemasonry has adapted to express and honor Indigenous identities while also critiquing aspects of mainstream Masonic practices. Arthur C. Parker, a prominent Seneca historian and archaeologist, drew upon his personal experiences and extensive academic training to address this topic. His passion for preserving Native American history and culture, along with his own engagement with Freemasonry, provided him with unique insights that inform his analysis. Parker's multifaceted background allows him to bridge the gap between Indigenous traditions and Western philosophies, making his work especially resonant for both communities. This book is an essential read for scholars of both Freemasonry and Native American studies, offering a nuanced view that challenges stereotypes and underscores the rich tapestry of American cultural history. It will also captivate casual readers interested in the complexities of identity and community within the framework of Western traditions.

    In The Ethics of Rhetoric, Richard M. Weaver evaluates the ethical and cultural role of rhetoric and its reflection on society. Weaver draws upon classical notions of rhetoric in Plato's Phaedrus, and he examines the effectiveness and implications of the manipulation of language in the works of Lincoln, Burke, and Milton. In this collection of essays, Weaver examines how different types of rhetoric persuade, their varying levels of effectiveness and credibility, and how one's manner of argumentation and style of persuasion are indicative of character. Ultimately, Weaver argues that the cultivation of pure language creates pure people. Initially published in 1953, The Ethics of Rhetoric remains timeless in its evaluation of rhetoric's role in society. 
    Richard M. Weaver (1910-1963) an esteemed scholar, humanist, cultural critic, and political philosopher, revolutionized conservativism of the mid-twentieth century. Weaver's original scholarship produced groundbreaking insight on human nature and society.

    George W. Truett (May 6, 1867 – July 7, 1944), was an American clergyman who was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, from 1897 until 1944, and the president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1927 to 1929. He became one of the most famous Southern Baptist preachers and writers of his era. William Ashley "Billy" Sunday (November 19, 1862 – November 6, 1935) was a popular outfielder in baseball's National League from 1883 to 1890, who later became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century. Known for his colloquial sermons and frenetic delivery, Sunday held campaigns in America's largest cities and attracted the largest crowds of any evangelist before the advent of electronic sound systems. In addition, Sunday was a strong supporter of Prohibition, and his preaching likely played a role in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919. Charles McCallon Alexander (1867 - 1920), a native of Tennessee, studied at Maryville University and eventually became a professor of music. After attending the Moody Bible Institute from 1892 to 1894 he became a popular gospel singer who toured with R.A. Torrey and, later, John W. Chapman to launch the "Chapman-Alexander Simultaneous Campaign."
