Summary

In 'The History of Persecution, from the Patriarchal Age, to the Reign of George II,' Samuel Chandler presents a sweeping analysis of the socio-political dynamics underlying religious persecution throughout history. Using a chronological framework, this erudite work examines the patterns of oppression against various religious groups, from ancient societies to the early modern period. Chandler's prose is characterized by its rigorous attention to detail and a commitment to presenting a balanced narrative, which invites readers to consider the ethical implications of religious intolerance across different epochs. Notably, his examination reveals the cyclical nature of persecution, wherein historical parallels resonate within contemporary issues of faith and freedom. Samuel Chandler, a prominent Dissenting minister and theologian of the 18th century, was deeply influenced by the religious climate of his time, particularly the struggles faced by nonconformists in England. His own experiences with persecution informed his scholarly pursuits, prompting him to explore broader themes of liberty and justice. Combined with his academic background and religious convictions, Chandler felt compelled to illuminate the often-ignored historical injustices that could inspire reflection and change among his contemporaries. Readers seeking a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the patterns of persecution across history will find Chandler's work invaluable. This book serves as both a historical record and a call to action against ongoing injustices, resonating powerfully in today's world. Scholars, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of religious freedom will appreciate Chandler'Äôs meticulous research and compelling narrative.

    American Poly - A History

    Recent studies have found that as many as one in five Americans have experimented with some form of sexual non-monogamy, and approximately one in fifteen knows someone who was or is polyamorous. The mainstream media has increasingly covered polyamorous lifestyles and the committed relationships of throuples, and dating apps have added polyamory as a status option. 
 
 
 
This book is the first history to trace the evolution of polyamorous thought and practice within the broader context of American culture. Drawing on personal journals and letters, underground newsletters, and publications from the Kinsey Institute Archives, among other sources, it reconstructs polyamory's intellectual foundations, highlighting its unique blend of conservative political thought and countercultural spiritualism. Christopher M. Gleason locates its early foundations in the Roaring Twenties among bohemians. In the 1950s and 1960s it surprisingly emerged among libertarian science fiction writers. Throughout the 1990s, polyamorists utilized the internet to spread their ideas, often undermining any remaining religious or spiritual significance their ideas held. 
 
 
 
Offering an original perspective on sexuality, marriage, and the family, American Poly reveals the history of polyamory in the United States from fringe practice to a new stage of the sexual revolution.

    Co-written by Ann Cusack, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Asylum, The Convent, Silent Sisters and Abandoned 
 
A woman who was sexually abused by her own father and later gave birth to his daughter is now running a support group which spans 30 countries and has tens of thousands of supporters. 
 
Stace Don, now 36, was taken into foster care as a baby after being neglected by her parents. For seven years, she lived an idyllic life, believing her foster parents were her real parents. But a chance encounter with her natural father, Nigel Taylor, shattered her happiness and she was later moved from her foster home, away from the family she loved. 
 
Upset and angry that she had been lied to, and confused about her own identity, Stace spent the remainder of her childhood flipping between different homes. Aged 17, she visited Nigel Taylor and he refused to let her leave. Over six months, he sexually, physically, and mentally abused her, forcing her to behave in a 'wifely' role; cooking, cleaning, washing. 
 
He paraded her as his partner in pubs and in shops, and even took her house-hunting, claiming they would live as a couple. She was also expected to have sex with him and endure sickening levels of intimacy. Stace fell pregnant aged 18 and, despite her loathing for her father, was determined to keep her baby. 
 
Nigel Taylor was jailed for seven years in April 2011 at Basildon Crown Court after admitting sexual activity with a child family member. Stace now runs a blog and support group for other survivors of sexual abuse. Her daughter, aged 16, is fully supportive of her mother's work.
