China Hand

John Paton Davies, Jr.

China Hand

At the height of the McCarthyite hysteria of the 1950s, John Paton Davies, Jr., was summoned to the State Department one morning and fired. His offense? The career diplomat had counseled the U.S. government during World War II that the Communist forces in China were poised to take over the country—which they did, in 1949. Davies joined the thousands of others who became the victims of a political maelstrom that engulfed the country and deprived the United States of the wisdom and...

House of Faith or Enchanted Forest?

House of Faith or Enchanted Forest?

Since the Renaissance of the 14th through 17th centuries, and particularly since the Enlightenment of the 18th century, the ancient creeds of faith have been under serious fire, and the struggle has not gone well for popular religion in America. The rapid advances made by the physical sciences in the 19th and 20th centuries and the corresponding reliance on scientific accomplishments in American life have been matched by the growing influence of reason in the way Americans think about religion....

It was then that Grant said to Custer, «show no mercy, take the troops assigned to your command and pursue the Indian, its squaws and children to the end of life…wipe them from the face of the earth.» Somewhere a voice whispered a special message to Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and other leaders heard it as well and they gathered thousands, creating a storm to meet the charge of the man with yellow hair...

Unmasking Biblical Faiths

Charles W. Hedrick, Jr.

Unmasking Biblical Faiths

Unmasking Biblical Faiths aims to address many of the challenges to traditional Christian faith in the modern world. Since the eighteenth-century Age of Enlightenment, human reason, formerly tethered by the constraints of organized religion, has been set free to explore the universe relatively unchallenged. The influence of the Bible, on the other hand, weakened due to the successes of modern historical criticism, is found to be inadequate for the task of enabling the faith «once for all...

California through Native Eyes

William J. Bauer, Jr.

California through Native Eyes

Most California histories begin with the arrival of the Spanish missionaries in the late eighteenth century and conveniently skip to the Gold Rush of 1849. Noticeably absent from these stories are the perspectives and experiences of the people who lived on the land long before European settlers arrived. Historian William Bauer seeks to correct that oversight through an innovative approach that tells California history strictly through Native perspectives. Using oral histories of Concow, Pomo,...
