Murphy had a plan. His life was all worked out. A proud member of the United States Air Force, Murphy was in the process of finishing what his father started. A return home following an ominous phone call changed everything. The southern town of Little Rock offered nothing of substance to the ambitious young man. The visit was supposed to be a short one, severing the final ties he had to the area. Only the trouble had just begun. A local attorney, the source of that ominous phone call, had some startling news for young Murphy. His father, whom he believed to be a deceased Air Force pilot, had recently passed making Murphy the proud owner of his father's prized possession - a cult. While the route has changed, the destination remains the same. Murphy must finish what his father started.

Mark Forman explores the extent to which Paul's concept of 'inheritance' in Romans, and its associated imagery, logic and arguments, served to evoke socio-political expectations that were different to those which prevailed in contemporary Roman imperial discourse. Forman explores how Paul deploys the idea of inheritance in Romans and analyses the sources which inform and overlap with this concept. Coins, literature and architecture are all examined in order to understand the purpose, hopes and expectations of first-century society. This book contributes to recent studies covering Paul and politics by arguing that Paul's concept of inheritance subverts and challenges first-century Roman ideologies.

This study deals primarily with Ch'inan, a village in northern Taiwan whose residents belong to one ethnic group: Hokkien-speaking Chinese whose ancestors made the journey from the southeast coast of mainland China over 200 years ago. It deals almost exclusively with the complex of institutions associated with the care and management of the dead. The book covers the history of Ch'inan, and how the village is organized today, making use of historical records, such as lineage genealogies. Sociological correlates of ancestor worship in ancestral halls and before domestic altars are examined. The darker side of ancestor worship is also explored, in which the dead stand out as dangerous creatures capable of harming or frightening the living. Perspective is then expanded to other parts of Taiwan, to consider how the form of the community affects the cult of the ancestors, how different reciprocal obligations between the living the dead affect ancestor worship, and in what ways people react to the obligations of ancestor worship.

In 1977, during Thanksgiving vacation of her freshman year at Swarthmore College, Elizabeth, at her mother's insistence, attended a stress-reduction session with a biofeedbacktechnician on staff at a Manhattan psychologist's office. During that first visit this man filled her ears with prophetic visions of a glorious future, the inheritance of those fortunate few who might choose to accompany him. His confidence and charisma were so entrancingthat she soon recruited two of her college roommates. When the psychologist fired his assistant two years later, Elizabeth and her mother followed. Over the next decade this man, a malevolent genius and master of twisting spiritual truth to benefit a self-serving agenda, organized a small dedicated band of followers. The Group evolved into an incestuous family, a cult. Their minds were fused with brainwashed doctrine of distinctly New Age philosophies. An intimate group of spiritual Navy Seals, they scrambled in terror, preparingthemselves to survive an approaching spiritual catastrophe, one man's divine vision of Armageddon. Subsequent to a momentous event in August 1994, The Black Dog Religion was born with their leader as high priest. Elizabeth sank lower and lower into a pit ofdespair, darker than she ever could have imagined. She became so deeply buried that escape seemed impossible. From the childish gullibility that seduced her astray, to the enlightenment which led to her freedom, you will travel an incredible journey. For anyone whohas ever been trapped by a person who would not let them go, within this book lies a message of truth and hope.

Dawkins and Hitchens have convinced many western intellectuals that secularism is the way forward. But most people don't read their books before deciding whether to be religious. Instead, they inherit their faith from their parents, who often innoculate them against the elegant arguments of secularists. And what no one has noticed is that far from declining, the religious are expanding their share of the population: in fact, the more religious people are, the more children they have. The cumulative effect of immigration from religious countries, and religious fertility will be to reverse the secularisation process in the West. Not only will the religious eventually triumph over the non-religious, but it is those who are the most extreme in their beliefs who have the largest families. Within Judaism, the Ultra-Orthodox may achieve majority status over their liberal counterparts by mid-century. Islamist Muslims have won the culture war in much of the Muslim world, and their success provides a glimpse of what awaits the Christian West and Israel. Based on a wealth of demographic research, considering questions of multiculturalism and terrorism, Kaufmann examines the implications of the decline in liberal secularism as religious conservatism rises - and what this means for the future of western modernity.
