Sea of Troubles - The European...

Ian Rutledge

In the mid-eighteenth century, most of the Mediterranean coastline and its hinterlands were controlled by the Ottoman Empire, a vast Islamic power regarded by Christian Europe with awe and fear. By the end of the First World War, however, this great civilisation had been completely subjugated, and its territories occupied by European powers. Sea of Troubles is the definitive account of the European conquest of the Levant and North Africa over three centuries. Ian Rutledge reveals the intense imperial rivalry between six European powers - Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Austria-Hungary and Russia - who all jostled for control of the trade, lands and wealth of the Islamic Mediterranean. The competition between these states made their conquest a far more difficult and extended task than they encountered elsewhere in the world. Yet, as new contenders entered the contest, and as rivalries intensified in the early twentieth century, events would spiral out of control as the continent headed towards the First World War.

Non-Toxic Masculinity -...

Zachary Wagner

Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? 
 
 
 
In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution." 
 
 
 
Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.

Social Justice - Strategies for...

Kevin Thorley

Social justice has a rich and complex history, shaped by numerous social, political, and economic movements over centuries. Its roots can be traced back to the Enlightenment era, where philosophers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced ideas of equality, individual rights, and the social contract. These concepts laid the groundwork for future social justice movements by emphasizing the inherent rights and dignity of every individual. 
  
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the abolition of slavery marked a significant milestone in the evolution of social justice. Abolitionists fought tirelessly to end the inhumane practice of slavery, advocating for the freedom and equal treatment of all people regardless of race. This movement not only aimed to abolish slavery but also to challenge the deeply entrenched racial hierarchies and discrimination that persisted even after slavery was formally ended. 
  
The labor movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries further expanded the scope of social justice by addressing economic inequalities and workers' rights. These movements sought fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable working hours, and the right to unionize. The struggle for labor rights highlighted the connection between economic justice and broader social equity, demonstrating that fair treatment in the workplace is essential for overall social justice.
