Sinopse

In "History of the Waldenses," J. A. Wylie meticulously chronicles the evolution of the Waldensian movement, offering a compelling narrative that intertwines history, theology, and social analysis. His literary style is characterized by a robust use of primary sources, coupled with a vivid prose that brings to life the struggles and perseverance of this often-overlooked Christian community. Wylie navigates the socio-political landscape of the Middle Ages, elucidating the trials faced by the Waldenses as they sought to maintain their faith in the face of persecution, while also connecting their story to broader ecclesiastical conflicts of the time, thus situating the Waldenses within the larger context of Christian dissent and reformist thought. J. A. Wylie, a 19th-century historian, was deeply influenced by the fervent religious revivalism of his time. Born into a tradition marked by dissent against established authority, Wylie's background imbued him with a strong empathy for marginalized groups. His scholarly pursuits in history and theology propelled him towards a passion for uncovering lesser-known narratives, particularly the resilience of the Waldenses, which he viewed as a testament to individual faith and conscience in resistance to institutional oppression. This meticulously researched volume is essential for anyone interested in ecclesiastical history, religious movements, or the dynamics of faith and persecution. Wylie's engaging narrative not only commemorates the Waldenses but also invites readers to reflect on the implications of faith, conviction, and the notion of heresy in contemporary society.

    Houston, we have a problem. The largest city in Texas has a wild west past filled with dodgy criminals and murderous madmen. 
     
     
      
    When the Allen brothers sold Houston's first lots, the city became a magnet for enterprising tycoons and opportunistic crooks alike. As the young city grew, a scourge of crime and vice accompanied the success of oil and real estate. The Bayou City's seedy side—flashing Bowie knives, privileged bad boys, hardened prostitutes, and unchecked serial killers—established its hold. From a young Clyde Barrow to the Man Who Killed Halloween, Houston's past is filled with bloody tales, heartbreaking loss, and despicable deeds. Authors Mike Vance and John Nova Lomax shine a light on these dark days.

    Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence. 
     
     
     
    This study examines the key elements of Lenin's life and career, the consolidation of his ideas into the doctrines of "Leninism," the influence of Leninism in promoting revolutionary movements around the globe, and the currently disputed issue of whether his ideas still have any relevance today. In particular, while considering his views on the role of the revolutionary party, often seen as the centerpiece of his theory and practice, this account identifies the root of Lenin's global influence in his opposition to capitalist imperialism and as a bedrock foundation for the opposition of many to fascism and associated ideologies. While recognizing that Lenin's reputation has reached its lowest point, not least in his home country where his legacy is reviled by Vladimir Putin and other contemporary leaders, the book concludes by weighing up the contemporary arguments of those who believe that Lenin still lives.
