The New Jersey Churchscape
Although best known as the Garden State, New Jersey could also be called the Church State. The state boasts thousands of houses of worship, with more than one thousand still standing that were built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Frank L. Greenagel has photographed more than six hundred. He has selected two hundred of these historic landmarks for an examination of why they are sited where they are and why they look the way they do. Greenagel has sought out and included images of not only mainstream Christian churches, but also Jewish synagogues as well as the places of worship of religious groups such as the Moravians, the Church of the Brethren, and the Seventh Day Baptists. The photographs are arranged chronologically within sections on three major early settlement regions of the state ¾ the Hudson River, the Delaware River, and the Raritan Valley. For each building, Greenagel details the date of construction, the cultural, historic, and religious influences that shaped it, the architectural details that distinguish it, and what purpose it currently serves.
An Architecture of Immanence
Torgerson begins by discussing God's transcendence and immanence and showing how church architecture has traditionally interpreted these key concepts. He then traces the theological roots of immanence's priority from liberal theology and liturgical innovation to modern architecture. Next, Torgerson illustrates this new architecture of immanence through particular practitioners, focusing especially on the work of theologically savvy architect Edward Anders Sövik. Finally, he addresses the future of church architecture as congregations are buffeted by the twin forces of liturgical change and postmodernism.
A Will to Choose
A Will to Choose traces the history of African-American Methodism beginning with their emergence in the fledgling American Methodist movement in the 1760s. Responding to Methodism's anti-slavery stance, African-Americans joined the new movement in large numbers and by the end of the eighteenth century, had made up the largest minority in the Methodist church, filling positions of authority as class leaders, exhorters, and preachers. Through the first half of the nineteenth century, African Americans used the resources of the church in their struggle for liberation from slavery and racism in the secular culture. --From publisher description.
Video Game Addiction 101
Video game addiction is the latest behavioral process disorder. While it is similar to substance misuse disorders and problematic gambling, little is known about pathology and almost nothing about treatment. It was added to the latest version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), which resulted in headline news around the world in June of 2018. It is expected that it will be added the next version of the DSM (DSM 5.1), the mental health diagnostic book that is used in the United States. To put the gaming industry in perspective, consider that worldwide revenue for McDonalds was $22 billion in 2017. U.S. only revenue from video games in 2018 is projected to be $30 billion....

Churchscapes of the Jersey Shore
"Place held sacred by a community, particularly ones with a rich architectural context, offer a fascinating subject for an artist. But there are temptations that ought to be resisted in a scholarly work, and so I have avoided an impulse to produce a "Great Churches of the Jersey Shore" kin of book. I have tried to look on all through the impartial lens of an Atget or Walk Evans or George Tice. The real subject of this inventory is not so much the architecture of the Jersey Shore and Pine Barrens communities, but the traditions and changes in function, scale, style, construction, and prominence of the churches, meetinghouses, and synagogues, and the cultural, social, economic and liturgical f...

The Warren Churchscape
The Warren Churchscape (in a new revised edition) is a richly illustrated guide to all seventy of the 18th and 19th century churches and meetinghouses still standing in Warren County. Frank Greenagel, author of The New Jersey Churchscape and 12 other volumes on the old churches of New Jersey, and developer of the widely popular website, www.njchurchscape.com, explores and explains the history of Warren's religious buildings, from the earliest religious structure-a beautifully-restored stone Quaker meetinghouse on Scott's Mountain erected in 1753, to the stylish Episcopal church-St. Mary's-on the green in Belvidere. The subtitle of the book, Religious Architecture in 18th & 19th Century, sugg...
