  Division of the Roman Empire...

  Rome’s Imperial Crisis has been difficult for historians to summarize, which is why, despite being one of the most intriguing periods in Roman history, it is often overlooked by people who have chosen to focus on the more cohesive periods before and after it. Even though he is best remembered for his religious reforms and what his (mostly Christian) admirers described as his spiritual enlightenment, Constantine was also an able and effective ruler in his own right. Rising to power in a period of decline and confusion for the Roman Empire, he gave it a new and unexpected lease on life by repelling the repeated invasions of the Germanic tribes on the Northern and Eastern borders of the Roman domains, even going so far as to re-expand the frontier into parts of Trajan’s old conquest of Dacia (modern Romania), which had been abandoned as strategically untenable.  
  	However, it can be argued that despite his military successes – the most notable of which occurred fighting for supremacy against other Romans – Constantine may well have set the stage for the ultimate collapse of the Roman Empire as it had existed up until that point. It was Constantine who first decided that Rome, exposed and vulnerable near the gathering masses of barbarians moving into Germania and Gaul, was a strategically unsafe base for the empire, and thus he expanded the city of New Rome on the Dardanelles Straits, creating what eventually became Constantinople. By moving the political, administrative, and military capital of the empire from Rome to the East, as well as the imperial court with all its attendant followers, Constantine laid the groundwork for the eventual schism which saw the two parts of the Roman Empire become two entirely separate entities, go their own way, and eventually collapse piecemeal under repeated waves of invasion.

  Selflessness - The Altruistic Heart

  Selflessness is a concept that transcends simple acts of kindness and touches on the very core of what it means to live in a community. It is the quality of being more concerned with the needs and well-being of others than with one’s own desires or ambitions. At its heart, selflessness is about recognizing the interconnectedness of humanity and acting in ways that foster compassion, understanding, and support among individuals. This chapter explores the many dimensions of selflessness, from its philosophical roots to its everyday manifestations in the lives of those who choose to put others first. 
  Historically, selflessness has been celebrated in various cultures and traditions. Many religious and spiritual teachings emphasize the importance of altruistic behavior, often framing it as a path to personal growth and enlightenment. In these traditions, selflessness is not merely a moral duty but a transformative journey that leads to a deeper connection with the universe and with fellow human beings. The idea that one can find fulfillment through acts of service rather than the pursuit of personal gain is a recurring theme in texts and teachings from around the world. 
  In a more modern context, selflessness is understood as both an individual virtue and a social necessity. In today’s fast-paced, competitive society, the act of prioritizing others can sometimes be seen as counterintuitive. However, when individuals choose to put aside their own interests for the benefit of others, they contribute to a more compassionate and resilient community. Whether it is through small gestures of kindness or significant sacrifices made in times of crisis, the impact of selflessness is profound. It can inspire trust, build stronger relationships, and create a ripple effect that encourages further acts of altruism.

  The Making of Black Lives Matter...

  Started in the wake of George Zimmerman's 2013 acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin, the #BlackLivesMatter movement has become a powerful and incendiary campaign demanding redress for the brutal and unjustified treatment of black bodies by law enforcement in the United States. The movement is only a few years old, but as Christopher J. Lebron argues in this book, the sentiment behind it is not; the plea and demand that "Black Lives Matter" comes out of a much older and richer tradition arguing for the equal dignity—and not just equal rights—of black people. 
   
   
   
  In this updated edition, The Making of Black Lives Matter presents a condensed and accessible intellectual history of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and expands on the movement's relevancy. This edition includes a new introduction that explores how the movement's core ideas have been challenged, re-affirmed, and re-imagined during the white nationalism of the Trump years, as well as a new chapter that examines the ideas and importance of Angela Davis and Amiri Baraka as significant participants in the Black Power Movement and Black Arts Movement, respectively. Drawing on the work of Davis, Baraka, and other revolutionary black public intellectuals, Lebron clarifies what it means to assert that "Black Lives Matter" when faced with contemporary instances of anti-black law enforcement.

  Embrace the beauty and challenges of transracial adoption.Being an adoptive parent is hard enough. But when your family is multiracial, things get even trickier. Parenting transracially doesn’t come naturally, nor does it just happen with time. Love is essential—yet by itself, love isn’t enough. Cross-cultural parenting also takes intentionality, listening, learning, growing, repenting, changing . . . then starting all over and doing it again. It’s hard work! And yet, when an adoptive family honors the ethnic heritages of their children, the whole family—as well as the watching world—gets to see the beauty of a gloriously creative God.In It Takes More Than Love, Brittany Salmon shares her own family’s story of transracial adoption and offers a biblically-based guide for others following the same path. Brittany recognizes that we live in divided times and there are extra challenges whenever race is part of the conversation. But with wise insight and hard-won experience, she provides guidance about topics such as:Maintaining a Gospel perspective throughout the journeyCelebrating your child’s history and heritageConfronting racismResponding to comments about your familyAvoiding pitfalls in adoptionHelping your kids feel represented in your home and community 
  No one is promising transracial adoption will be easy—least of all Brittany! Yet the extra effort is balanced by a beauty that images our eternal destiny. Until the day God makes all things new, the welcoming an inclusive transracial family can help fulfill Jesus’s words, “on earth as it is in heaven.”
