John Brown - A Biography

W.E.B. Du Bois

Few figures are more seminal in the abolitionist movement in America than John Brown. His firebrand approach to the movement arose out of his religiously inspired and deep-seated belief that slavery was not only morally unjust but that its removal from American society could only be achieved through armed insurrection. Following his capture in 1859 during an unsuccessful raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry and his subsequent hanging he became an electrifying and symbolical figure for the abolitionist movement. Many historians argue that the incident at Harpers Ferry was the breaking point between pro and anti-slavery forces that led to the secession of the southern states and the subsequent Civil War.  
Prominent African American W. E. B. Du Bois chronicles the life of John Brown in this 1909 biography. In the words of Du Bois, John Brown was "a man whose leadership lay not in his office, wealth or influence, but in the white flame of his utter devotion to an ideal." This audio edition is skillfully narrated by J. Keith Jackson, and includes a chronology of John Brown's life.

Carib Civilization - The...

Rolf Hedger

The Carib civilization, known for their resilience and military prowess, was one of the dominant forces in the Caribbean before and during the early phases of European colonization. The Caribs, who were part of the larger Arawakan language family, developed a distinct culture that set them apart from other indigenous groups in the region. Their territory spanned many of the islands in the Lesser Antilles, with notable populations in Dominica, Saint Vincent, and Grenada. While they were widely recognized for their fierce resistance against European colonizers, their rich history and cultural achievements also played a significant role in shaping the Caribbean.
The early origins of the Caribs are a subject of ongoing research, but they are believed to have migrated from South America, possibly from the Orinoco River Basin in present-day Venezuela. Over time, they settled in various parts of the Caribbean, with their most prominent presence being on the islands of the Lesser Antilles. The Caribs are often distinguished from their neighbors, the Arawaks, due to their more aggressive and militaristic nature, a characteristic that would become critical in their dealings with the European powers who arrived on their shores.
Carib society was organized around a hierarchical structure with a chief, or ouin (sometimes known as karifuna), at the top, followed by warriors, farmers, and fishermen. Despite their reputation as fierce fighters, the Caribs were also skilled agriculturalists and fishermen. Their diet was rich in cassava, corn, fruits, and fish, which they caught using canoes made from hollowed trees. The Caribs' ability to navigate the seas using their advanced knowledge of the stars and ocean currents made them formidable maritime traders and warriors. They built large, ocean-going canoes capable of carrying multiple warriors, enabling them to wage successful raids across the Caribbean islands.

Mirror to the Church -...

Emmanuel M. Katongole, Jonathan...

We learn who we are as we walk together in the way of Jesus. So I want to invite you on a pilgrimage. Rwanda is often held up as a model of evangelization in Africa. Yet in 1994, beginning on the Thursday of Easter week, Christians killed other Christians, often in the same churches where they had worshiped together. The most Christianized country in Africa became the site of its worst genocide. With a mother who was a Hutu and a father who was a Tutsi, author Emmanuel Katongole is uniquely qualified to point out that the tragedy in Rwanda is also a mirror reflecting the deep brokenness of the church in the West. Rwanda brings us to a cry of lament on our knees where together we learn that we must interrupt these patterns of brokenness But Rwanda also brings us to a place of hope. Indeed, the only hope for our world after Rwanda’s genocide is a new kind of Christian identity for the global body of Christ—a people on pilgrimage together, a mixed group, bearing witness to a new identity made possible by the Gospel.
