"Defiant Honor 1864 completes the three-book Civil War series about Captain John McBee and the 5th Texas Infantry Regiment in the Texas Brigade of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. By the spring of 1864, the war is slipping away from General Lee. Grant is moving towards Richmond with a huge army. In May, newly promoted Major John McBee and the 5th Texas Infantry enter the battle at the Wilderness under the eyes of General Lee. By June, the siege of Richmond and Petersburg has begun. The 22nd Regiment of US Colored Troops earn their first battle honors. The town of Lexington is occupied by Union soldiers, and the campus of the Virginia Military Institute is shelled by Federal artillery, then sacked by Union soldiers. Faith McBee is hunted as a Confederate spy. The occupation ends, but the pursuit of Faith McBee brings armed Union soldiers into the McBee home in the dead of night. The summer winds down, and the soldiers of the 5th Texas endure the heat, filth, and constant danger of trench warfare around Richmond. Major McBee reluctantly again accepts a clandestine errand for Confederate Secretary of State Judah Benjamin. In late September, the 5th Texas and the 22nd Regiment of US Colored Troops battle over the earthworks at New Market Heights. Levi must decide whether or not to fight against other black men. John McBee and Faith's first husband, Lieutenant Adam Samuelson, now an officer in the 22nd USCT, slash their way through their inevitable violent confrontation. In October, the surviving 5th Texas soldiers make their last charge at Darbytown Road, a bloody final zenith for the Texas Brigade, Lee's Grenadier Guards. The mission for Secretary of State Benjamin stretches into November, and sets the McBee family on paths they will walk after the war."--Amazon.

Virginia Burrus explores one of the strongest and most disturbing aspects of the Christian tradition, its excessive preoccupation with shame. While Christianity has frequently been implicated in the conversion of ancient Mediterranean cultures from shame- to guilt-based and, thus, in the emergence of the modern West's emphasis on guilt, Burrus seeks to recuperate the importance of shame for Christian culture. Focusing on late antiquity, she explores a range of fascinating phenomena, from the flamboyant performances of martyrs to the imagined abjection of Christ, from the self-humiliating disciplines of ascetics to the intimate disclosures of Augustine. Burrus argues that Christianity innovated less by replacing shame with guilt than by embracing shame. Indeed, the ancient Christians sacrificed honor but laid claim to their own shame with great energy, at once intensifying and transforming it. Public spectacles of martyrdom became the most visible means through which vulnerability to shame was converted into a defiant witness of identity; this was also where the sacrificial death of the self exemplified by Christ's crucifixion was most explicitly appropriated by his followers. Shame showed a more private face as well, as Burrus demonstrates. The ambivalent lure of fleshly corruptibility was explored in the theological imaginary of incarnational Christology. It was further embodied in the transgressive disciplines of saints who plumbed the depths of humiliation. Eventually, with the advent of literary and monastic confessional practices, the shame of sin's inexhaustibility made itself heard in the revelations of testimonial discourse. In conversation with an eclectic constellation of theorists, Burrus interweaves her historical argument with theological, psychological, and ethical reflections. She proposes, finally, that early Christian texts may have much to teach us about the secrets of shame that lie at the heart of our capacity for humility, courage, and transformative love.

Now in paperback, the updated and expanded edition: David Graeber’s “fresh . . . fascinating . . . thought-provoking . . . and exceedingly timely” (Financial Times) history of debt Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: he shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it.

Self-defense or Murder? The answer can be a fine line exonerating the innocent, or a big gaping hole swallowing the souls of the guilty. However, no conclusion can be reached without a confrontation in a court of law, which is exactly what Tony Tucker has been preparing for all of his adult life. What he could never have anticipated is that his selfless dedication to defending underrepresented minorities would eventually shed light on his own deeply rooted torment. But, unfortunately, some answers do not come without a price. Such is The Duality of His Life, a uniquely American tragedy by an African-American author.
