Corpse Care - Ethics for Tending...

Mikeal C. Parsons, Cody J. Sanders

Corpse Care relates the history of death care in the US to craft robust, constructive, practical ethics for tending the dead. It specifically relates corpse care to economic, environmental, and pastoral concerns. 
 
 
 
Death and the treatment of the dead body loom large in our collective, cultural consciousness. The authors explore the materiality and meaning of the dead body and the living's relationship to it. All the biggest questions facing the planetary human community relate in one way or another to the corpse. Surprisingly, Christian communities are largely missing in the discussion of the dead, having abdicated the historic role in care for the dead to the funeral industry. Christianity has stopped its reflection about the body once that body no longer bears life. Corpse Care stakes a claim that the fact of embodiment, this incarnational truth, this process of our bodily becoming, is a practical, ethical, and theological necessity.

The Homefront Heroes - Everyday...

Sage Winters

The term "homefront" often evokes images of soldiers in trenches or aircraft soaring across the skies, but it is also a powerful representation of the unseen sacrifices and contributions made by civilians during times of war. During World War II, the homefront became an essential element in the overall war effort, with civilians across the world playing critical roles in supporting the troops and maintaining the stability of their countries. The efforts of everyday people—often invisible and uncelebrated—were foundational to both the immediate success of the war and the longer-term impact on society. This chapter delves into the importance of the homefront during WWII, exploring the diverse contributions of civilians, and highlighting how they collectively displayed a resilience that was vital for the war’s outcome.
World War II was not just fought on foreign battlefields—it was waged in factories, schools, hospitals, and even neighborhoods. The efforts of civilians extended well beyond the provision of material goods. They also contributed by keeping national spirits high through solidarity and patriotism, showing an unyielding dedication to the cause despite the challenges at home. The mobilization of the homefront became a key factor in the Allied victory, and it transformed daily life in ways that would endure long after the war ended.
Women, for instance, took on roles that had traditionally been reserved for men, stepping into factories, shipyards, and offices, proving their capacity to contribute to industries critical to the war effort. At the same time, families managed with rationing and shortages while simultaneously participating in drives for scrap metal, rubber, and other materials that could be recycled for wartime use. Even children contributed in their own ways, collecting tin cans and engaging in other activities designed to support the war effort.

The Anti-Greed Gospel - Why the...

Malcolm Foley

"A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
 
 
 
Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
 
 
 
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
 
 
 
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
 
 
 
Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.
