Sunday School Sins
Sunday school teaching is a perverse affair. Many teachers hide the origins of Christianity behind miraculous stories because they fear that telling what really occurred would attract no one. Of course, some teachers have only the stories because they teach a subject they do not know. These people do wrong or, theologically speaking, they sin.

The book details the origins of the faith, presenting in an entertaining fashion what scholars have known and have been writing about in academic journals for the last two hundred years.

Most parents circumcise their sons without giving it a second thought. They have no clue what the risks are because doctors never offer "informed consent" - the legal obligation to educate patients on the risks and alleged benefits of any procedure so they understand what's being asked of them.

Law, State, and Society in Modern Iran
Using a 'Historical Institutionalist' approach, this book sheds light on a relatively understudied dimension of state-building in early twentieth century Iran, namely the quest for judicial reform and the rule of law from the 1906 Constitutional Revolution to the end of Reza Shah's rule in 1941.
