Rev. Skipworth's courage, candor, and compassion jump from the pages of this compilation of his weekly newspaper columns, "Letters to the Editor," rebuttals from area ministers, and responses from readers written in the heart of Tennessee's Bible Belt. This book is a give and take between a progressive follower of Jesus and his often-irate readers/respondents, most of whom are biblical literalists and evangelical white Christians. With Skip, what you see or read is what you get. He not only tackles the hard issues, while wearing vulnerably, but also brilliantly translates and integrates his columns with the informed biblical and theological understanding of many of the most learned minds within progressive Christianity. While making their work understandable for his readers, friends and foes alike, he painstakingly applies their insights to the divisive theological and political issues liberal clergy and laity have tragically failed to address honestly with each other. Skip deserves our gratitude for this informed and courageous gift, and the whole church owes him our thoughtful and willing dialogue. Taken from the Foreword by Bishop Joseph Sprague.

This work explores conformation and presentist biases in continuing accounts of the Ruby McCollum story. This was a 1952 murder trial in which a wealthy African-American wife shot and killed her white, physician and Florida Senator elect lover. The author contends that continuing accounts of the story are being told through the lens of the present, and by authors and filmmakers who bring their own point of view to the story rather than relying on archival information. By re-visiting archival information, the author attempts to confront these versions of revisionist history.

Bullying is a reality in our churches. It has devastated many people's lives. "Bullying in the Church: Addressing a Hidden Problem in Christianity" calls God's people to understand what bullying is, how we may be guilty of bullying others in the church, and how imperative it is to relate to one another in love. Endorsements: "It has been said the church is the only army that shoots its wounded. Too often, it's also the one doing the wounding. Mike Sarkissian explores the reality of bullying in the church and points us back to the one solution to this and every problem, that we would repent and believe the gospel." -R.C. Sproul Jr. "In Mike Sarkissian's book, he discusses what God's word says about sin, gossip, slander and other related evils. And he presents a clear and helpful analysis of how our postmodern culture has robbed us of the resources to deal with the situation. All of this within a strong gospel-centered appeal. I recommend this book and hope that it will receive a broad hearing." -Dr. John Frame Professor of Systematic Theology & Philosophy Reformed Theological Seminary "Mike Sarkissian courageously and openly exposes the sin problem behind bullying as well as its satanic character and the dreadful havoc it reaps. Masterfully he unfolds God's solution for this minimized sin: to live out of the person, the cross, and the words of Jesus Christ." -Dr. Joel R. Beeke President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary "This book by Mike Sarkissian is rigorously biblical, both in exposing the problem and providing the solution. I am happy to commend this book, the first I've ever read of its kind, to pastors and all of God's people as a biblical response to the evil sin of bullying." -Dr. Mark Jones "Mike addresses this neglected and timely topic. He exposes relational sins that underlie and promote bullying: gossip, slander, and favoritism. Mike is convinced that God's amazing grace should affect all our relationships, including those inside and outside of the church. He is zealous that Christians live for God not only in word but also in deed to brighten our witness to the world. His manuscript, addressed primarily to laypersons and secondarily to church leaders, is informative, engaging, and edifying." -Dr. Robert A. Peterson Drew University "I was gripped by the first sentence of Mike Sarkissian's book "Bullying in the Church." -Trisha Ramos WayofTheMaster.com, WretchedRadio.com "Pastor Mike has rendered the church a great service in addressing an issue that many Christians turn a blind eye to or are unaware of." -Lee Enochs Princeton Theological Seminary

Is the world better off without Christianity? Combining narrative with keen critique of contemporary debates, author and historian John Dickson gives an honest account of 2,000 years of Christian history that helps us understand what Christianity is and what it's meant to be. To say that the Christian Church has an "image problem" doesn't quite capture it. From the Crusades and the Inquisition to the racism and abuse present in today's Church--both in Catholic and Protestant traditions--the institution that Christ established on earth has a lot to answer for. But the Church has also had moments throughout history when it has been in tune with Jesus' teachings--from the rise of charity to the invention of hospitals. For defenders of the faith, it's important to be able to recognize the good and bad in the church's history and be inspired to live aligned with Christ. For skeptics, this book is a thought-provoking introduction to the idea that Christianity is, despite all, an essential foundation of our civilization. Bullies and Saints will take you on a big-picture journey from the Sermon on the Mount to the modern church: Giving contextual accounts of infamous chapters of Christian history, such as the Crusades, and acknowledging their darkness. Outlining the great movements of the faith and defending its heroes and saints, some of whom are not commonly recognized. Examining the Church beside the teachings and life of Jesus and how it has succeeded in its mission to imitate Christ.

This book addresses a problem that is damaging, devastating, if not killing our children. It is an international plague. There is no cure. It has been around since the beginning of man. Approximately 90% of the children from the fourth grade to the eighth grade are affected by it. Everyone has been touched by this problem. There is nothing we can do to stop it, but we can prepare our children to deal with it. Bullying: A Biblical Solution is a walk to prepare our families to deal with this pandemic. This book provides a biblical process for dealing with this blight on humanity. The answers you glean will surprise you. "There is a time for everything". With the recent tragedies, murders and suicides relating to bullying and its effects, the need to offer a biblical view and a personal solution is urgent as well as necessary. I say urgent, because there is an unprecedented opportunity right now; an opportunity to reach the world and show that the bible has the answer to all of the problems and trials this life brings. I say necessary because many Christians have deep-seated questions and concerns about whether Christianity permits, let alone condones the practice of self defense or should just turn the other cheek. Bullying: A Biblical Solution answers these questions and seizes the opportunity to harvest this immense field.

Making the Bible Belt upends notions of a longstanding, stable marriage between political religion and the American South. H.L. Mencken coined the term "the Bible Belt" in the 1920s to capture the peculiar alliance of religion and public life in the South, but the reality he described was only the closing chapter of a long historical process. Into the twentieth century, a robust anticlerical tradition still challenged religious forays into southern politics. Inside southern churches, an insular evangelical theology looked suspiciously on political meddling. Outside of the churches, a popular anticlericalism indicted activist ministers with breaching the boundaries of their proper spheres of influence, calling up historical memories of the Dark Ages and Puritan witch hunts. Through the politics of prohibition, and in the face of bitter resistance, a complex but shared commitment to expanding the power and scope of religion transformed southern evangelicals' inward-looking restraints into an aggressive, self-assertive, and unapologetic political activism. The decades-long religious crusade to close saloons and outlaw alcohol in the South absorbed the energies of southern churches and thrust religious leaders headlong into the political process--even as their forays into southern politics were challenged at every step. Early defeats impelled prohibitionist clergy to recast their campaign as a broader effort not merely to dry up the South, but to conquer anticlerical opposition and inject religion into public life. Clerical activists churned notions of history, race, gender, and religion into a powerful political movement and elevated ambitious leaders such as the pugnacious fundamentalist J. Frank Norris and Senator Morris Sheppard, the "Father of National Prohibition." Exploring the controversies surrounding the religious support of prohibition in Texas, Making the Bible Belt reconstructs the purposeful, decades-long campaign to politicize southern religion, hints at the historical origins of the religious right, and explores a compelling and transformative moment in American history.
