    In a world where Rome never truly fell, the second breath of the republic surges outward—not by force, but by reason, resilience, and reform. 
    Pax Romana Reimagined continues the journey of the Concordian Republic as it navigates the growing pains of survival and rebirth. No longer content with merely holding the center, the republic expands outward: into the wild lands of Gaul, the intellectual depths of the East, and the shifting trade winds of Africa and Asia. 
    As new threats rise and old beliefs are tested, the republic embraces bold innovation: building roads that span continents, codifying a modern civic law, empowering inventors and women, and defending itself not only with legions, but with learning. This volume explores how a society reimagines its purpose—not around emperors or divine lineage, but through education, cooperation, and a vision that transcends borders. 
    From the volcanic ash of Vesuvius to the scrolls of a Silk Road senate, and from merchant councils to the homes of ordinary citizens, Pax Romana Reimagined reveals a republic reborn—stronger, wiser, and deeply human.

    Populism has become one of the most significant political phenomena of the 21st century, influencing governance on a global scale. The term "populism" has been used to describe a wide range of political movements, parties, and ideologies, but its meaning often remains fluid and context-dependent. At its core, populism is a political approach that seeks to represent the interests of "the people" against a perceived elite or establishment that is seen as corrupt, self-serving, and out of touch with the common citizen. While this core idea is consistent, the ways in which populism is expressed and implemented vary dramatically depending on the political, cultural, and economic context. 
    The roots of populism stretch back to the 19th century, with early movements advocating for the empowerment of ordinary citizens, particularly in agricultural societies. However, the modern manifestation of populism began to take shape in the mid-20th century and accelerated in the 21st century, fueled by growing disillusionment with traditional political elites. The rise of social media, economic inequality, and a globalized world have all contributed to populism's recent resurgence, particularly in Western democracies. 
    Contemporary populism is often characterized by a charismatic leader who claims to speak directly for the people, bypassing traditional political institutions and sometimes challenging the rule of law. These leaders often portray themselves as outsiders, positioned against the political establishment, and frequently use simple, direct rhetoric that resonates with disaffected voters. The populist narrative, which pits the common people against the elite, is one of the most powerful tools in shaping public opinion and driving political discourse.

    The Gospel Coalition Book Awards Award of Distinction–History and Biography
    Men of their time?
    Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, and George Whitefield were the three most prominent early evangelicals—and all three were deeply compromised on the issue of slavery. Edwards and Whitefield both kept slaves themselves, and Wesley failed to speak out against slavery until near the end of his life.
    In Ownership, Sean McGever tells the true story of these men's relationships to slavery: a story that has too often been passed over or buried in scholarly literature. Laying out the dominant attitudes among Christians toward slavery at the time, McGever sets these "men of their times" in their own context, inviting us to learn how these shapers of American evangelicalism contributed to the tragic history of racism in America. He also explores how Christians finally began to recognize that slavery, which they'd excused for most of Christian history, is actually wrong. It's a story that white evangelicals must wrestle with today.
    Ownership is more than a book of history. It's an invitation to examine our own legacies and to understand—and take ownership of—both our heritage and our own part in the story.
