  Animals in Ancient Rome: The...

  Rome's complex relationship with animals goes right back to its foundation myth, and even today, the wolf remains a symbol of the Eternal City, forming part of the logo for the capital's football team, A. S. Roma. According to tradition, the city of Rome was founded by Romulus, who, with his brother Remus, was nursed and sheltered by a she-wolf. That tale, widely believed as a historical fact by ancient Romans, had a profound influence on Roman culture, and in part that shaped Roman attitudes toward their animals. The actual cave where Romulus and Remus were said to have been raised, the Lupercal, is thought to have been situated on the Palatine Hill in the very heart of Rome, and there was a claim by some archaeologists it had been found in 2007. True or not, the story of the wolf and its link to the beginnings of Rome continues to intrigue modern citizens, and the recent return of a family of wolves to the outskirts of Rome was greeted with wild enthusiasm. 
  	Other than the tale of the she-wolf with Romulus and Remus, the overriding images and stories of Roman animals that have come down through popular culture to modern times largely concern the vicious animal fights put on in the Colosseum, stories of Christians being thrown to the lions, and Hannibal's invasion of Italy with elephants. Indeed, the widely accepted view is that Romans were uncommonly brutal to their animals and had little empathy for them, and in terms of the Romans' scientific knowledge about animals, it appears much of it came to them from the Greeks.

  The Dean - Memoirs & Missives

  Sparky Reardon

  Sparky Reardon — who dedicated 36 years to his alma mater, the University of Mississippi — was a witness to the best, and worst, of times at Ole Miss. Reardon engaged with every facet of campus life, navigating the wild and unpredictable situations sparked by students (and, at times, by visitors). Reardon found himself in the midst of campus crises where he facilitated the university family through tragedy and loss (some involved student casualties); he navigated intricate battles for freedom of expression on campus (including confrontations with the Ku Klux Klan and loony street preachers); he gently guided students (and sometimes administrators and politicians) through complex judicial issues; and he had a rare, insider’s view of the evolution of Oxford, Mississippi, from a quiet college town to a vibrant cultural hub. In The Dean, Sparky lays bare the joys and hardships of what he describes as “the best job in America.” In 1968, Reardon enrolled at Ole Miss with an eye on law school. Two years later, his plans shifted. Summoned to the dean’s office to account for his role as social chairman in breaking university rules, Reardon experienced a pivotal moment of clarity. As Reardon remembered, “It might have been the result of one of our parties running too late or getting too loud, or perhaps there was a chance that beer was involved.” He realized that someone, someday, would need to take this man’s place. Reardon left that meeting determined to become the dean of students at Ole Miss.  Raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi, a young Sparky Reardon turned to books after a severe knee injury ended his sports days. Guided by inspiring teachers, he cultivated a passion for writing. Artist and author William Dunlap said, “Sparky Reardon’s The Dean is anecdotally rich and beautifully written. His prose — which soars — is once again proof that language is a Southerner’s birth

  Reimagining Jonah - A Flight to...

  What would cause a proclaimed prophet to run away from everything he called home and dodge the 
  unyielding God of his tribe? Devoted to an uncompromising commitment to selfhood, Dr. Doug Wheeler 
  challenges the traditional assumption that Jonah was a miserable coward by examining him as a deeply 
  conflicted, courageous, and soulful man. With a poetic flair, Reimagining Jonah provokes and confounds 
  with language flavored by trauma and empathy, producing a richly contemplative and profoundly human 
  version of this well-known tale. 
  “Here is the story of Jonah like you have never heard it before! Doug Wheeler brings to his writing his 
  long wise years as a pastoral therapist. He knows that every story we tell — including Jonah’s — is thick 
  with subterranean transactions and freighted with background. It turns out that the story, in his gifted 
  artistry, is an account of being “born again” in freedom as a true self, engaged with the real world, and 
  partnered with the holy God who is well beyond all of our idols. Wheeler insists in an inescapable way on 
  our being participants in the narrative, with an earnest of good outcomes for our role in the story that is as 
  contemporary as it is ancient.” 
  — Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary
