Minorities within Minorities

Sixteen distinguished scholars examine the balance between group autonomy and individual rights in relation to gender, religion, culture, and indigenous rights in the national and international sphere.
Tales of the Neighborhood
In this lively and intellectually engaging book, Galit Hasan-Rokem shows that religion is shaped not only in the halls of theological disputation and institutions of divine study, but also in ordinary events of everyday life. Common aspects of human relations offer a major source for the symbols of religious texts and rituals of late antique Judaism as well as its partner in narrative dialogues, early Christianity, Hasan-Rokem argues. Focusing on the "neighborhood" of the Galilee that is the birthplace of many major religious and cultural developments, this book brings to life the riddles, parables, and folktales passed down in Rabbinic stories from the first half of the first millennium of the Common Era.
Harvest
The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved (Jeremiah 8:20). Bishop T.D. Jakes focuses on the problems plaguing the United States of America and addresses issues that many would rather not consider. * Racism, though more sophisticated and attitudinal, is as prevalent as it was before the Civil Rights Bill. * Homosexuality has become an acceptable alternative lifestyle. * Degenerative social and moral issues result in sin and hopelessness-inside churches as well as outside. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us... (1 Peter 4:17). God knows who is responsible for the breakdown and corrosion within our nation-the church. Until now, no one was willing to take responsibility for society's moral decay; and no one was offering any viable, long-lasting solutions. Today, Bishop Jakes shares how you can make a difference and bring in The Harvest for the glory of God.
