When he learns that his pregnant wife has been spirited off to a distant city, William responds as any man might—he drops everything to pursue her. But as a fugitive slave in Antebellum America, he must run a terrifying gauntlet, eluding the many who would re-enslave him while learning to trust the few who dare to aid him on his quest. Among those hunting William is Morrison, a Scot who as a young man fled the miseries of his homeland only to discover even more brutal realities in the New World. Bearing many scars, including the loss of his beloved brother, Morrison tracks William for reasons of his own, a personal agenda rooted in tragic events that have haunted him for decades. Following up on his award-winning debut, Gabriel’s Story, David Anthony Durham presents another riveting tale, a brilliantly drawn portrait of America before the Civil War, and a provocative meditation on racial identity, freedom and equality. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Entangled Christianities looks at Christianity in flux. Each chapter recounts a moment of crisis and opportunity in the history of Christianity; from the selection of the biblical canon to the Iconoclast struggle of the Reformation, and from the religious conversions of Scandinavian Norsemen and Native Americans to the establishment of religious liberty in the US Constitution. In each event, Christianity engages in a dialogue with internal and external voices, thereby negotiating the shape and meaning of Christianity. Underlying these negotiations is an often unstated reality; that there is not and never has been a single Christianity. The meaning and direction of Christianity was disputed, even in the days of Peter, Paul and James. The history of Christianity can perhaps be better understood as a history of Christianities. This work is designed to capture pivotal moments, wherein Christianity encountered challenges to its identity and structures.

A transition to renewable and low-carbon forms of energy is being widely debated as a means of securing a sustainable future for mankind. Hydrogen Energy Challenges and Prospects, a new book from the authors of Clean Energy, considers the prospects for hydrogen as a universal energy vector and fuel for the decades to come. With no emissions other than water arising from its combustion, the potential virtues of harnessing and utilizing hydrogen correlate with recent growing concern over the security of conventional fuel supply and global climate change. This book sets out to analyze the technical situation in an objective fashion, free from the constraints of political and industrial loyalties. Areas covered include pathways to hydrogen production, prospects for carbon capture and storage, options for hydrogen storage on vehicles, fuel cells, and fuel cell vehicles. Each of the many facets of hydrogen energy is discussed and the challenges to be faced are addressed. The authors acknowledge it is not possible to reach a simple, unequivocal conclusion regarding overall prospects, since the international energy scene is so complex, and predicting long-term futures is so notoriously difficult. Nevertheless, the reader will be given compelling pointers indicative of the way in which events might develop. This topical book is ideal for undergraduates, postgraduates and academics with an interest in hydrogen energy. Government agencies and energy professionals will also find this content to be a useful reference source.

Having demonstrated what unites us in a common condition of spiritual neediness, Jesus Christ is presented as the answer to satisfy our neediness. Our spiritual neediness now satisfied in Christ, we discover a new identity giving meaning and purpose to our life. Scripture is explored to give guidance as to why and how we endure in our new identity.

Researchers have discovered a number of Jewish and early Christian sects that were not fully known for thousands of years. Along with Saducees, Pharisees, and Zealots—which are well-known—Essenes, Mandaeans, and the monastery at Qumran have enriched the understanding of religious communities in the first century. In this book, you’ll learn about these sects through the eyes of John, who begins an eight-hour walk from Jerusalem to Qumran. While he’d visited the library in Qumran many times to read the scrolls available only to the Essenes and to hear the teachings handed down from the righteous teacher and other leaders of the desert community, this trip is different. John had turned away from the Sadducees, who focused their religion on the Torah and the temple. He had also spurned the Pharisees, who built rhetorical shrines to the oral Torah traditions, openly praising their own purity above other Judaic traditions. Even more vehemently, John abhorred the Herodians, who ruled over Judea. Having reached the age of thirty, his plan is to seek admission to the monastery of Qumran. He does not know when, if ever, he’ll return to Jerusalem.
