Abraham Jacob & Maria Loewen Family: A Journey Under God's Providence
The story of one Mennonite family that chose to leave the Soviet Union when others were choosing to remain, not realizing this was the last opportunity.

They had a deep trust in God and after a long and prosperous life in Canada, they were quick to acknowedge God's faithfulness throughout their life's journey. Also contains a Loewen genealogy, 1735 - 2015.
Duty and Choice
Devoted to exploring elections as the central act in a democracy, Duty and Choice: The Evolution of the Study of Voting and Voters is animated by a set of three overarching questions: Why do some citizens vote while others do not? How do voters decide to cast their ballots for one candidate and not another? How does the context in which citizens live influence the choices they make? Organized into three sections focused on turnout, vote choice, and electoral systems, the volume seeks to provide novel insights into the most pressing questions for scholars of vote choice and voting behaviour. In addition to featuring several prominent Canadian scholars, the collection includes chapters by leading scholars from the United States and Europe.
Family, Church, and Market
Loewen examines how the Mennonites' social structure and life goals accommodated societal changes and tells of three generations for whom the farm family was the primary social unit. The group's strategies of cultural continuity dictated that they adapt sensitively and carefully to the market economy and the outside world. Photos. Maps.

Mary Magdalene in Medieval Culture
This innovative and multidisciplinary collection visits representations and interpretations of Mary Magdalene in the medieval and early modern periods, questioning major scholarly assumptions behind the examination of female saints and their depictions in medieval artworks, literature, and music. Mary Magdalene’s many and various characterizations from reformed prostitute to conversion-figure to devotee of Christ to "apostle to the apostles" to spiritual advisor to the Prince of Marseilles to hermit in the desert, to list just a few examples, mean that the many conflicted representations of Mary Magdalene apply to a staggering variety of cultural material, including art, liturgy, music, li...
Voters' Veto
The 2002 election, called unexpectedly early, was both a landmark and a puzzle. Voters' Veto is an authoritative account, the fifth in a series of election studies which began in 1993, and is based on surveys of over 5000 voters, including Maori political opinion, and data from election candidates. Voters' Veto studies the campaign, the candidates, the media, the issues, the leaders, the electoral system and the social background. Central questions are why Labour did not do as well as expected, why National fell to the lowest level ever polled by a centre-right party, why New Zealand First recovered, and why United Future became such a pivotal player. The book explores the political importance of Maori and the continuing implications of MMP. Voters' Veto continues a unique, immensely valuable ongoing picture of voters' behaviour over more than a decade of change and drama.
