  In a time of immense persecution and widespread misunderstanding, one man stood fearlessly to defend the truth of the Christian faith. "The First and Second Apologies" by St. Justin Martyr represents one of the most significant and courageous acts of Christian witness from the second century. Written as direct appeals to the Roman Emperor and the Senate, these powerful documents offer an unparalleled glimpse into the beliefs, practices, and intellectual arguments of the early Church. More than just a historical artifact, these apologies are a masterclass in reasoned and articulate faith. Justin Martyr, a brilliant philosopher himself, bridges the gap between Greek philosophy and Christian theology, demonstrating that Christianity is not a dangerous superstition but the fulfillment of humanity's highest intellectual and spiritual aspirations. In this essential text, you will explore: The fundamental beliefs of early Christians, including their understanding of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit.A compelling defense of Christian practices, such as baptism and the Eucharist, against false accusations of immorality and atheism.The intellectual and philosophical roots of Christian thought, as Justin Martyr connects the "Logos" of Greek philosophy to the person of Jesus Christ.The unwavering courage of believers who were willing to face martyrdom rather than renounce their faith.

  ECPA Top Shelf Award Winner
  Long before it featured dramatically in the 2016 presidential election, Christian nationalism had sunk deep roots in the United States. From America's beginning, Christians have often merged their religious faith with national identity. But what is Christian nationalism? How is it different from patriotism? Is it an honest quirk, or something more threatening?
  Paul D. Miller, a Christian scholar, political theorist, veteran, and former White House staffer, provides a detailed portrait of—and case against—Christian nationalism. Building on his practical expertise not only in the archives and classroom but also in public service, Miller unravels this ideology's historical importance, its key tenets, and its political, cultural, and spiritual implications.
  Miller shows what's at stake if we misunderstand the relationship between Christianity and the American nation. Christian nationalism—the religion of American greatness—is an illiberal political theory, at odds with the genius of the American experiment, and could prove devastating to both church and state. Christians must relearn how to love our country without idolizing it and seek a healthier Christian political witness that respects our constitutional ideals and a biblical vision of justice.

  Waffle House has long been touted as an icon of the American South. The restaurant's consistent foregrounding as a resonant symbol of regional character proves relevant for understanding much about the people, events, and foodways. Whether approached as a comedic punchline on the Internet, television, and other popular media or elevated as a genuine touchstone of messy American modernity, Waffle House, its employees, and everyday clientele do much to transcend one-dimensional characterizations, earning distinction in ways that regularly go unsung. 
   
   
   
  Smothered and Covered: Waffle House and the Southern Imaginary is the first book to socioculturally assess the chain within the field of contemporary food studies. In this groundbreaking work, Ty Matejowsky argues that Waffle House's often beleaguered public persona is informed by various complexities and contradictions. 
   
   
   
  Matejowsky discusses Waffle House's roots in established southern foodways and traces the chain's development. He also considers Waffle House's place in American and southern popular culture, highlighting its myriad depictions in music, television, film, fiction, stand-up comedy, and sports. Altogether, Matejowsky deftly and persuasively demonstrates how Waffle House serves as a microcosm of today's South with all the accolades and criticisms this distinction entails.

  The Tree of the Sephiroth

  The Tree of the Sephiroth may be considered an invaluable compendium of the secret philosophy which originally was the spirit and soul of Chasidism. The Qabbalah is the priceless heritage of Israel, but each year those who comprehend its true principles become fewer in number. The Jew of today, if he lacks a realization of the profundity of his people's doctrines, is usually permeated with that most dangerous form of ignorance, modernism, and is prone to regard the Qabbalah either as an evil to be shunned like the plague or as a ridiculous superstition which has survived the black magic of the Dark Ages. Yet without the key which the Qabbalah supplies, the spiritual mysteries of both the Old and the New Testament must remain unsolved by Jew and Gentile alike. 
  The Sephirothic Tree consists of ten globes of luminous splendor arranged in three vertical columns and connected by 22 channels or paths. The ten globes are called the Sephiroth and to them are assigned the numbers 1 to 10. The three columns are called Mercy (on the right), Severity (on the left), and, between them, Mildness, as the reconciling power. The columns may also be said to represent Wisdom, Strength, and Beauty, which form the triune support of the universe, for it is written that the foundation of all things is the Three. The 22 channels are the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and to them are assigned the major trumps of the Tarot deck of symbolic cards.
