The American Frontier - Pioneers...

Harry Montgomery

The early explorers set in motion a journey of discovery that would shape the destiny of a continent. Venturing into unknown lands with limited maps and few resources, these daring adventurers sought not only new trade routes and wealth but also the promise of uncharted territories. Their voyages were driven by curiosity, ambition, and in many cases, the desire to escape circumstances at home. With each step into unfamiliar territory, these pioneers faced challenges that tested their resilience and determination. Navigating vast rivers, towering mountain ranges, and endless stretches of dense forests, they pursued dreams that often ended in triumph as well as tragedy.
From the first accidental landfalls to the more deliberate exploratory expeditions, the stories of these early voyagers are filled with both brilliance and hardship. Many of the explorers were motivated by the promise of establishing new trade connections and expanding their nations’ borders. They set out with scientific instruments and compasses in hand, determined to chart the unknown. The natural phenomena they encountered—such as unusual weather patterns, peculiar rock formations, and unique animal species—sparked intense curiosity and led to detailed observations that formed the basis of early scientific inquiry in the New World. Their reports, albeit sometimes exaggerated, captured the imagination of those back home and often inspired further expeditions.
Encounters with the indigenous populations were a significant aspect of the early exploration period. While some interactions led to mutual exchange and cultural enrichment, others resulted in tension and conflict. The early explorers relied on guides from native tribes whose deep knowledge of the land provided invaluable assistance. In many instances, these native allies introduced new agricultural practices and survival techniques that enabled the explorers to adapt to the harsh wilderness.

Jesus and the Abolitionists -...

Terry J. Stokes

Isn't anarchy just chaos? How could it possibly relate to Christianity?
Countless people, including (and sometimes especially) those from religious backgrounds, are exploring radical ideas. The pandemic, the Black liberation movement, climate disaster--all these concerns are leading us to ask, "Does our system actually work? Is capitalism ethical? Is this the only way to build a society?"
Questions like these led author and pastor Terry Stokes to the political philosophy of anarchy. Now, we all have a scary picture in our minds about anarchy: that it calls for chaos, violence, and disorder. But anarchy actually calls for the end of rulership, not violence in the streets. Anarchy seeks to empower small communities of people to take care of their own needs at the local level, thereby making the state obsolete. It's all about constructing societies in which people are placed above profit and systems are built on ethics of justice and equality. To Stokes, that sounded a whole lot like the building blocks of Christian faith.
In Jesus and the Abolitionists, Stokes introduces readers to the ancient practice of anarchy and how it intersects with Christian beliefs and values. We see how beliefs about God, humanity, divine-human interaction, the Bible, and more can be illuminated and faithfully reformulated through an anarchist lens. This view, which Stokes calls anarchist Christianity, seeks to abolish tyrannical systems that do not recognize the changing values of our times and that disempower the people. Stokes's vision of an anarchist Christian future charts a caring theology and practice of living, one based in our voluntary cooperation, the goodness of all people, and faith in God. We can build an ethical world--one built on structures of care--and anarchy might just be the unlikely key.
