    Undoing Manifest Destiny -...

    As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion―over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told. 
     
    In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices. 
     
    Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.

    Modern Jewish Identity -...

    Jewish identity is a complex and evolving concept shaped by history, culture, religion, and personal experiences. The foundation of modern Jewish identity is deeply rooted in ancient traditions while continually adapting to contemporary realities. Over time, Jewish communities have navigated periods of both integration and exclusion, influencing the ways in which identity is expressed today. The balance between maintaining heritage and embracing modernity remains central to the Jewish experience. 
    Historically, Jewish identity was primarily defined by religious observance and communal affiliation. Jewish law, customs, and shared ancestry created a strong sense of belonging. The Hebrew Bible, Talmud, and centuries of rabbinic teachings established religious principles that guided Jewish life. However, as Jewish communities spread across different regions, cultural variations emerged, shaping unique traditions within Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi communities. These distinctions continue to influence modern Jewish identity, highlighting both unity and diversity within the Jewish world. 
    The Enlightenment and Emancipation movements of the 18th and 19th centuries significantly altered Jewish identity. As European Jews gained citizenship and civil rights, many embraced secular education, professional opportunities, and broader societal engagement. This period saw the emergence of different expressions of Judaism, including Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox movements. While some Jews sought to modernize religious practices to align with contemporary life, others remained committed to traditional observance. These differing approaches to Judaism persist today, contributing to a broad spectrum of Jewish identities.
