  This WWII history sheds light on the extensive use of armored fighting vehicles in the Pacific Theater from the Philippines to Okinawa.   Although the history of armor in World War II has captured the attention of countless authors, the extensive use of tanks in the Pacific has gone largely unexamined. Now historian Gene Eric Salecker corrects this oversight. With comprehensive detail, Salecker describes the exploits of American tanks on the jungle islands where troops engaged in savage combat and encountered unforgiving weather and terrain.    Stationed in the Philippines when the Japanese attacked the islands in 1941, the U.S. Army's independent tank battalions fought from the very start of the war. From New Guinea and the Solomons to Makin, Saipan, and Guam, American armor proved instrumental in winning World War II in the Pacific.

  Credo Book Award Winner – Natural Theology
  "There are so many books on Lewis that are simply a rehash of existing knowledge; by contrast, this is a work of fresh, detailed, illuminating scholarship. ... Barbeau's use of Lewis's personal annotations in the books in the Marion E. Wade Collection is a revelation and makes this book a permanent and important contribution to the study of Lewis's thought." – Malcolm Guite, Girton College, Cambridge
  Three Essays on C. S. Lewis and Romanticism
  Many readers have heard C. S. Lewis's logical arguments for the Christian faith. Yet throughout his wide-ranging study and writing, Lewis often began with experience, intuition, and religious feeling rather than dogmatic assertions. The most profound questions of Lewis's own life, argues theologian and literary critic Jeffrey Barbeau, can be seen in his quest to understand the relationship between personal experience and the truth about the world around him.
  In a series of three essays, Barbeau explores the influence of nineteenth-century Romanticism on the writings of C. S. Lewis. Barbeau demonstrates Lewis's indebtedness to Romantic notions of imagination and subjectivity, opens new contexts for understanding ideas about memory and personal identity in his autobiographical writings, and explores beliefs about nature and Christian sacraments throughout his writings on Christian faith. This theological and literary investigation reveals Lewis as a profoundly modern thinker and illuminates his ongoing relevance to contemporary debates about theology and culture.
  Drawing on extensive reading of the marginalia in the personal library of C. S. Lewis held by the Marion E. Wade Center, Barbeau offers a fresh understanding of the influence of modern theology and Romantic poetry, especially Wordsworth and Coleridge, on many of Lewis's most beloved works. Essays and responses include:
  
  - C. S. Lewis and the "Romantic Heresy," with response from professor Sarah Borden,
  - C. S. Lewis and the Anxiety of Memory, with response from professor Matthew Lundin, and
  - C. S. Lewis and the Sacramental Imagination, with response from professor Keith L. Johnson.

  In "The Roman Empire the Empire of the Edomite," William Beeston throws a curveball at history, proposing a bold connection between the mighty Romans and the ancient Edomites of Jordan. Published in 1853, this controversial book dives deep into both groups' history and culture, searching for evidence of a shared ancestry. Beeston links similarities in language, customs, and even religion to paint a picture of the Romans as descendants of the Edomites. While mainstream historians largely reject his arguments due to lack of concrete proof, the book remains a fascinating exploration of these intertwined civilizations, offering a unique perspective on their origins and interactions.

  The Metamorphoses, also known as The Golden Ass, is an ancient Roman novel by Apuleius that follows the misadventures of Lucius, a curious young man who accidentally transforms himself into a donkey through forbidden magic. As he is passed from owner to owner, enduring hardship and witnessing both the absurdity and cruelty of human nature, Lucius seeks redemption and divine intervention. The story blends satire, folklore, and religious revelation, offering insight into Roman society, mystery religions, and the path to spiritual transformation. At its heart is the worship of the goddess Isis, whose grace ultimately restores Lucius to human form. Combining humor, allegory, and vivid storytelling, The Metamorphoses remains a masterpiece of classical literature and one of the earliest surviving novels in Western tradition.
