The Secular City
The City is for the Enlightenment a central preoccupation, that social space where both the utopian and the pragmatic concerns of the eighteenth century come together in a typical tension. Unlike St Augustine's Civitas Dei, this is to be a city of men and women, planning their social geometry, interacting commercially, elaborating, as far as possible, human and secular principles of justice. This collection of specially commissioned essays, all by distinguished eighteenth-century specialists, charts the process from a variety of angles.

Good Faith Hunting
Church attendance in the United States and other Western nations is rapidly declining, and the losses are not solely because "young people don't like church." Baby boomers are also leaving, frequently because the church leadership assumes a believer's faith and how it plays out is constant over a lifetime. Boomers are a transition generation, undergoing profound faith journeys as they transition through life's phases. Many churches struggle to connect with people on a journey because the corporate, modernist mindset doesn't have room for changes and journey. Good Faith Hunting is a book of hope for church leaders and major influencers who want to celebrate the faith journeys of baby boomers and others through life, allegiance, and experience, as an opportunity to show the love of Christ as they sojourn alongside people in their community.
The Problems of Genocide
Historically delineates the problems of genocide as a concept in relation to rival categories of mass violence.
Wrestling with Moses
The rivalry of Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses, a struggle for the soul of a city, is one of the most dramatic and consequential in modern American history. To a young Jane Jacobs, Greenwich Village, with its winding cobblestone streets and diverse makeup, was everything a city neighborhood should be. But consummate power broker Robert Moses, the father of many of New York’s most monumental development projects, thought neighborhoods like Greenwich Village were badly in need of “urban renewal.” Standing up against government plans for the city, Jacobs marshaled popular support and political power against Moses, whether to block traffic through her beloved Washington Square Park or to prevent the construction of the Lower Manhattan Expressway, an elevated superhighway that would have destroyed centuries-old streetscapes and displaced thousands of families. By confronting Moses and his vision, Jacobs forever changed the way Americans understood the city. Her story reminds us of the power we have as individuals to confront and defy reckless authority.

The Mount
Many scholars believe that Mount Tabor is the place depicted in the Bible as the meeting place for the transfiguration of Jesus. Appearing there stood Moses and Elijah. Did God have a specific purpose for two men who had died in early biblical history to be present when Jesus brought Simon Peter, James, and John to the apex of the mountain? After God confirms Jesus as his Son and commands his followers to listen to him, they go back down the mountain. This is when Elijah relates to Moses the raising of dead people back to life by certain saints. Then they begin a time travel to observe the history of war through the ages and the explosion of the H-bomb as well. The impact of war and peace weighs heavily on their minds, and they debate the reason for their assignment of traveling through history. The stories of the saints are true and verified through Catholic on Line and other writings.
