In 1881, in the village of Pali, a seven-year-old boy, forced to make sense of his fathers desertion and mothers early death, finds himself expelled from family and community. An outcast, he is taken on a bullock-cart journey to an orphanage, where Das Gupta, its clerk, aware of the boys high-caste, takes him to meet Jacob Rivers, Agnes, and their daughter, Esther. Soon he learns that as an infant, he was secretly baptised and named Michael and that Rivers knew his father. Esther tutors Michael in English, while her father, aware that British Rule in India must in time end, prepares his boys for that future. He is supported by Nawab Ali Baig, who, when Rivers is unfairly sacked, helps ease the hardships of the familys journey back to Assam. At Calcutta they disperseEsther to school in England, Michael to a College run by British philanthropists, and Rivers to the wilds of Assam. Near his eighteenth birthday, Michaels friend Philip invites him home. He meets and is immediately infatuated by Philips sister, Lily. Her rich Bengali father, impressed by Michael, has plans for him. But these are shelved by news of the horrific murders of Jacob and Agnes Rivers and by Michaels need to visit the graves of those he dearly loved. Philips father funds his trip on the understanding he returns to marry Lily. In Assam, Michael finds a grieving Esther and discovers she had never forgotten him. Something in their encounter prevents him from telling her about Lily but promises to visit her in England, a promise hell soon keep, because Lily has eloped with her college tutor. Philips proud but superstitious father tells Philip, about to leave for Oxford, to give Michael the ill-fated wedding dowry and wants never to see it or Michael again. But Philip remains true, and when Michael arrives in England, he sees a new man, one bent to win Esther and take her back with him to India.

Living with Indifference is about the dimension of life that is utterly neutral, without care, feeling, or personality. In this provocative work that is anything but indifferent, Charles E. Scott explores the ways people have spoken and thought about indifference. Exploring topics such as time, chance, beauty, imagination, violence, and virtue, Scott shows how affirming indifference can be beneficial, and how destructive consequences can occur when we deny it. Scott's preoccupation with indifference issues a demand for focused attention in connection with personal values, ethics, and beliefs. This elegantly argued book speaks to the positive value of diversity and a world that is open to human passion.

Engage in well researched articles and educate yourself on the religious beliefs surrounding you in a world where so little is known as so much is made mundane. The author debates and rebuttals many firm concepts common to Western belief, tackling the definition of marriage, Christmas traditions, traditional characteristics of God, the use of narcotics to induce an ecstatic state, and the basis of evil in the world today.

Philip J. Fisk offers a critical reappraisal of Jonathan Edwards's Freedom of Will, interpreting Edwards from within his own tradition, Reformed Orthodoxy (±1550-1750), avoiding the outdated paradigms of the conventional interpretation of Edwards and his tradition, a so-called deterministic, reconciliationist Calvinism, and demonstrating from primary sources, such as Harvard and Yale commencement theses and quaestiones, that Edwards departed ways with Reformed Orthodoxy's robust and highly nuanced view of freedom of will, contingency, and necessity.

in 1993 an historian wrote: “... The lynching was especially atrocious: Two young black men were seized, dragged into the woods, and there chained to trees and tortured to death with blowtorches while a howling crowd of whites cursed and taunted them. Photographs were made of the dead bodies....” (K.S. Davis) This historical novel – ground-breaking in its emotional and graphic intensity – portrays the impact of that atrocity (1937) on two empathetic boys who didn’t taunt, but secretly snapped pictures of the living, screaming victims (ironically, one with FDR’s surname) – and desperately tried to stop it! Two against 500 (some came by school bus). Failing, they fled in despair and determination – with their Brownie Eagle Eye, embarking on a compelling mission! They had no choice – they’d been ‘Out There.’ Enraged, then galvanized, by the failures and heart-breaks of Book I, ‘Einstein’ Brian and ‘Maestro’ Marcus become avenging angels, sworn to strike ‘Preacher-Creature Cecil’ and his ‘henchmen from hell’ with the swords of retribution, self-defense, and ‘un-Confederate’ justice. Kids no more, they begin to act like God because ‘Somebody has to...!’ With images of brutality sealed in camera, conscience, and nightmares, they write to Eleanor and FDR, and accept her invitation to dinner at the White House. Irrevocably sworn to the most profound ‘what-if’ of the Twentieth Century, the boys pledge themselves to a daunting ‘rendezvous with destiny’ – theirs and humanity’s. And a Time Capsule ticket to 6939 (CE) and beyond from Albert Einstein....

Since the publication of Homo Sacerin 1995, Giorgio Agamben has become one of the world’s most revered and controversial thinkers. His ideas on our current political situation have found supporters and enemies in almost equal measure. His wider thoughts on topics such as language, potentiality, life, law, messianism and aesthetics have had significant impact on such diverse fields as philosophy, law, theology, history, sociology, cultural studies and literary studies. Yet although Agamben is much read, his work has also often been misunderstood. This book is the first to fully take into account Agamben’s important recent publications, which clarify his method, complete his ideas on power, and finally reveal the role of language in his overall system. William Watkin presents a critical overview of Agamben’s work that, through the lens of indifference, aims to give a portrait of exactly why this thinker of indifferent and suspensive legal, political, ontological and living states can rightfully be considered one of the most important philosophers in the world today.
