The advocates of woman suffrage and black suffrage came to a bitter falling-out in the midst of Reconstruction, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton opposed the 15th Amendment because it granted the vote to black men but not to women. How did these two causes, so long allied, come to this? Based on extensive research, Fighting Chance is a major contribution to women's history and to 19th-century political history--a story of how idealists descended to racist betrayal and desperate failure.

Many readers are convinced that the Psalms are hopelessly “masculine,” especially given that seventy-three of the 150 psalms begin with headings linking them to King David. In this volume, Denise Dombkowski Hopkins sets stories about women in the Hebrew Bible alongside Psalms 42–89 as “intertexts” for interpretation. The stories of women such as Hannah, Rahab, Tamar, Bathsheba, Susanna, Judith, Shiphrah, Puah, and the Levite’s concubine can generate a different set of associations for psalm metaphors than have traditionally been put forward. These different associations can give the reader different views of the dynamics of power, gender, politics, religion, family, and economics in ancient Israel and in our lives today that might help to name and transform the brokenness of our world. From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid all readers in their advancement toward God’s vision of dignity, equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority, ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from different parts of the world, showing the importance of social location in the process of interpretation and that there is no single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

As Jacobson’s team ups the ante with increasingly provocative and destructive attacks, Chu is forced on board the faux-President’s aircraft.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles is imperiled by the supernatural powers of "El Nuevo Diablo", whose sinister insect-army literally "eats his opponents, alive". The Storied Watcher is thousands of miles away. Her followers are preoccupied with fighting for their own lives (and for those of their families)... or with more malevolent goals. Who will save America?

This book is a sequel to my first book What the Bible says about the collapse of the universe, Life before the big bang. And the 200 billion year history of Christianity- the invisible war. This book The doctrine of THIRD WAVE CHRISTIANITY is really a distillation of the first book. The core of what the Lord revealed to me. It is composed of small booklets- Jesus, Satan, The Beast, The Lake of fire, and older booklets from the first book. The Catholics were the first wave and they discomfited Satan, The Protestants were the Second wave and they swarmed Satans camp and now are the Third wave Christians, space age Christians who believe in the collapse of the universe and Life before the big bang who will over run Satans camp and completely wipe them out. The book is designed for Christians who are also scientists and see no problem with the Bible and its compatibility with science. It gives information about the collapse of the universe, but with new material about the Beast , Satan ,Jesus , Africas unification and the founding history of all the nations . Third wave Christians are not to go out and make new Churches but they are people who ate the refreshing new information that we missed in the Bible, space age information. This book proves that Christianity is superior to Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism , Communism, and those who make science into a religion. Because the Bible says the universe will collapse and Science says the universe will collapse thats proof the Bible is Truth and that God exists. Logicians and Christians who are Scientists can use this book to prove that the Bible is True therefore God exists.

Forceful and detailed account of the struggle for “freedom” after the American Civil War. How did America recover after its years of civil war?

Reinstating ex-slaves’ own “freedom dreams” in constructing these histories, Roediger creates a masterful account of the emancipation and its ramifications on a whole host of day-to-day concerns for Whites and Blacks alike, such as property relations, gender roles, and labor.
