STIGMA: The Rape of Faith is the story of a charmed—and charming—reprobate, Theodore Roosevelt McGraw, who is haunted by his past. It is the late twentieth century and “Teddy” is immersed in a religious education, whether he likes it or not. As Teddy matures into manhood, he eventually experiences a delayed recall of a violent episode that prompts him to embark down a determined path to achieve justice, despite the Catholic Church’s resistance. Encounters with the divine and the demonic launch him on a journey into an otherworldly American past, and further into the shrouded past of Old World atrocities. What he discovers will test his resolve and courage, against universal opposition, to bring these atrocities to light. The reader will be challenged as well to face outrages at the core of our culture, and decide who—or what—truly bears the STIGMA. STIGMA: The Rape of Faith is a fictional exposé of the Roman Catholic Church’s historical and current handling of allegations of priestly sexual misconduct affecting minors in its care. Antoine Nusmun is a classically trained independent scholar, poet, philosopher, essayist, and singer/songwriter. He has traveled widely and held a variety of positions, but his lifelong interest has been the origins of man and his religious practices. Antoine lives in Cataloochee, North Carolina with his wife Constance and a menagerie of faithful pets. “A transformational novel told with flashes of humor and outrage, and steeped in southern atmospherics, Stigma is thoroughly original and uses a timely theme as a fulcrum for a profound philosophical, theological, and historical rumination. One could say it picks up where Spotlight left off.” —Tom Sancton, author of Song For My Fathers: A New Orleans Story in Black and White.

Over half a billion women live in the Muslim world. Despite the rich complexity of their social, cultural, and ethnic differences, they are often portrayed in monolithic terms. Such stereotyping, fueled by the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism, has proved detrimental to Muslim women in their campaign for human rights. This book is the first detailed study to emphasize Muslim women's rights as human rights and to explore the existing patriarchal structures and processes that present women's human rights as contradictory to Islam. Academics and activists, most of whom live in the Muslim world, discuss the major issues facing women of the region as they enter the twenty-first century. They demonstrate how the cultural segregation of women, contradictory and conflicting legal codes, and the monopoly on the interpretation of religious texts held by a select group of male theologians, have resulted in domestic and political violence against women and the suppression of their rights. The contributors focus on ways and means of empowering Muslim women to participate in the general socialization process as well as in implementing and evaluating public policy.

Inside of some Christians unbeknownst to their family, friends or congregation, they are screaming, "I doubt, I doubt, I have very grave doubts!" OURS is an age of doubt. Skepticism has become fashionable. We are urged to question everything: especially the existence of God and the truthfulness of his Word, the Bible. A half brother of Jesus warned us against doubting: "the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind." (Jam. 1:6) When insidious doubts begin to creep into the mind and the heart, it is only a matter of time before a CRISIS OF FAITH gives way spiritual shipwreck. Since we have been warned that “some will fall away from the faith,” we should be ready “to save some," even ourselves. In CRISIS OF FAITH, Edward D. Andrews guides us in one can be restored to the faith through an accurate knowledge that gives the facts on which to rebuild one's faith. Confidence can be restored in this world beset by doubts. We can help ourselves or others once again to make the Word of God their own. CRISIS IN FAITH assures us that the Bible truly is from God. Those who have doubts need to have their questions answered, and this book will fill the need for honest-hearted persons who sincerely want to know.

Behold, I give you faith! Now, you have the ability to move and live and breathe in confidence; that everything you touch will work; all that you think about will become a positive influence and change lives; you will even become wealthy in the process. It would be absolutely wonderful for God to make that pronouncement to us and it becomes so. Fortunately and to what may be the ultimate paradox, the kind of faith we seek will only come by trials, perseverance, and yes, it is a journey that we all must take. Faith increases as it is used and grows exponentially when it is tested. The true depth of these "tests of faith" does not come because you decide to seek or pursue God more; these tests come because "faith" is alive and demands to be fed, even challenged. Admittedly, faith does appear to be somewhat illogical, but most goals or feats of greatness are often met with resistance; in the end, when the goal has been met, the feat obtained and the journey completed, it is only then, in clear hindsight that you realize that this was a test of your faith; subsequently, as you reflect on your travels, you think about all the things that you would have changed or done differently, only to later realize that if things were different you may not be who you are. The Logic of Faith is a reasonable a step along the path of your journey; through personal experiences, some good, some not so good, I share my experiences and trials of faith, so you can be enlightened and encouraged as you continue on your journey of understanding. Once you embrace and unite with your faith, the world will truly become your oyster and it will not matter where you are or what you are facing. My wife, Phyllis and our two sons, Ryan and Corban, are enjoying our journey of faith together; a journey that currently has us residing in Katy, Texas and a faith that will allow us to continue to move and live and have our being in Him.

In this book, faith leaders, scholars and activists from around the globe provide their perspective on faith and abortion. They reflect on examples of faith organisations which have provided leadership on the issue as well as examining religious approaches from Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and interfaith perspectives. Challenging the assumption that all people of faith are anti-abortion, this book provides a counterpoint to right-wing faith perspectives and outlines how faith communities reimagine abortion as an issue of social, pastoral and theological concern. Providing perspectives from the global North and South, it includes settings where abortion is legal, and where it is restricted, and settings where abortion stigma is ever-present to settings where abortion is normalised. It also demonstrates the complex connections between faith and abortion, how women and pregnant people are positioned in society and how morality is claimed and challenged.
