Is God A White Racist?
Published originally as part of C. Eric Lincoln's series on the black religious experience, Is God a White Racist? is a landmark critique of the black church's treatment of evil and the nature of suffering. In this powerful examination of the early liberation methodology of James Cone, J. Deotis Roberts, and Joseph Washington, among others, Jones questions whether their foundation for black Christian theism—the belief in an omnibenevolent God who has dominion over human history—can provide an adequate theological foundation to effectively dismantle the economic, social, and political framework of oppression. Seeing divine benevolence as part of oppression's mechanism of disguise, Jones argues that black liberation theologians must adopt a new theism that is informed by humanism and its principle of the functional ultimacy of wo/man, where human choice and action determine whether our condition is slavery or freedom.

White's many examples of stories -- from the Bible, folktales, modern parables, for Christmas -- serve as a valuable resource as you weave your tales.

It includes all 26 families and 633 valid named species of rays, but additional undescribed species exist for many groups. Rays of the World features a uniqu...

Cyberstalker
When the Virtual Reality Fair arrived on the SVU quad, Elizabeth Wakefield thought it sounded like an extreme waste of time. That was before Elizabeth's twin sister, Jessica, convinced her to give virtual reality a try. That was before Elizabeth saw...him. He appeared from out of nowhere, a glowing figure with an achingly beautiful face and a wickedly familiar grin. A man she once loved--and feared. A man she thought was dead. But something evil was set into motion the day Elizabeth entered virtual reality...and it's not going to stop until he says it's over. He's William White. And he's not playing dead anymore....
