  What does it mean to love our country?
  Some Christians see loyalty to America as central to our faith and identity. Other Christians are skeptical that our nation warrants such devotion or attachment. But Richard Mouw encourages Christians to have a healthy sense of national peoplehood that promotes civic kinship and responsible citizenship. He navigates between Christian nationalism on one hand and cynicism about country on the other to avoid the perils of both idolatry and disengagement.
  Mouw grapples with sticky questions such as how to honor national holidays in church and the place of protests in forging a more perfect union. Placing love of country in the context of Christian love of neighbor, he sees patriotism as an expression of our heavenly citizenship and a call to help our country be a place where all people can thrive in peace.
  Mouw's winsome and wise reflections direct our patriotic affections toward the civic good of others within our churches and in our communities. This guide helps us travel together on a shared national journey toward liberty and justice for all.

  What if the most admired teacher in philosophy couldn’t show you how to live well? 
  In Clitophon, Plato gives voice to a disillusioned disciple. Clitophon, once captivated by Socrates’ speeches, now questions their value—arguing that Socrates inspires but never instructs. In this brief yet bold exchange, the roles of teacher and student are reversed. 
  This modern translation captures the tension, ambiguity, and unresolved nature of Plato’s shortest dialogue—offering a powerful look at the limits of inspiration without action. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Direct Challenge to Socratic Philosophy – Clitophon accuses Socrates of failing to guide others to virtue 
  •	A Dialogue Unlike Any Other – Brief, mysterious, and unresolved—leaving interpretation open 
  •	The Limits of Inspiration – Explore the gap between admiration and transformation 
  •	A Clear, Thoughtful Translation – Perfect for anyone studying the role of philosophy in real-life virtue 
  Experience Clitophon, Plato’s most cryptic confrontation, and decide for yourself—can words alone lead to wisdom?

  Battle of Edgehill The: The...

  The outcome of the English Civil War was no doubt unthinkable to many across Europe before it actually happened, and the Battle of Edgehill represented the first sign that things might not go according to the typical plan. The tiny hamlet of Edgehill sits atop an escarpment in the parish of Ratley and Upton in Warwickshire, England, an unremarkable location in and of itself, like many others in Warwickshire. It attracts a few tourists, some of whom are on the lookout for ghosts. Some claim to hear cries of pain and terror, the clash of swords, cannon fire, and the lament of lost souls. The first report of such phenomena was made shortly before Christmas 1642 when a number of Edgehill inhabitants claimed to have seen two ghostly armies fighting in the sky. So strong and widespread did these claims become that King Charles I sent a commission to investigate. The commissioners supposedly witnessed the apparitions and were able to identify some of the combatants as participants in the Battle of Edgehill, which occurred three months earlier on October 23, 1642. This included Sir Edmund Verney, who lost a hand in the battle and was observed missing an appendage. The apparitions supposedly ended when villagers buried the corpses of soldiers who still lay on the battlefield, but people still claim to hear signs of the celestial battle 370 years later. 
  The enormous upheaval in English society in 1642 may very well have engendered such tales. For the simple villagers, it seemed as if heaven and earth had been rent asunder. After all, the whole concept of divinely ordained kings was that God had created the system and placed a king over England, making the monarch, Charles I of the House of Stuart, God’s viceregent. But that year, the unthinkable happened when the king and Parliament broke with each other, raising their standards of war. The divinely appointed order was broken, and the result was bloodshed, terror, and chaos.
