Opis produktu

BLouis A. DeCaro Jr./B is a religious educator and pastor who lives in New Jersey. He is the author of IOn the Side of My People: A Religious Life of Malcolm X/I and its sequel IMalcolm and the Cross: The Nation of Islam Malcolm X and Christianity/I both available from NYU Press./John Brown is usually remembered as a terrorist whose unbridled hatred of slavery drove him to the illfated raid on Harpers Ferry Virginia in 1859. Tried and executed for seizing the arsenal and attempting to spur a liberation movement among the slaves Brown was the ultimate emcause celebre/em for a country on the brink of civil war./strongFire from the Midst of YouŁ/strong situates Brown within the religious and social context of a nation steeped in racism showing his roots in Puritan abolitionism. DeCaro explores Browns unusual family heritage as well as his business and personal losses retracing his path to the Southern gallows. In contrast to the popular image of Brown as a violent fanatic DeCaro contextualizes Browns actions emphasizing the intensely religious nature of the antebellum U.S. in which he lived. He articulates the nature of Browns radical faith and shows that when viewed in the context of his times he was not the religious fanatic that many have understood him to be. DeCaro calls Brown a Protestant saintŁan imperfect believer seeking to realize his own perceived calling in divine providence./In line with the postmillennial theology of his day Brown understood God as working through mankind and the church to renew and revive sinful humanity. He read the Bible not only as Gods word but as emGods word to John Brown/em. DeCaro traces Browns life and development to show how by forging faith as a radical weapon Brown forced the entire nation to a point of crisis./ strongFire from the Midst of YouŁ/strong defies the standard narrative with a new reading of John Brown. Here is the man that the preeminent Black scholar W.E.B. Du Bois called a mighty warning and the one Malcolm X called a real white liberal.Ł/This biography offers fresh insight into the life and actions of this renowned figure in American history.div id=pastingspan1I A Power above Ourselves/divdiv id=pastingspan11 And They Had No ComforterŁ: John Brown and the Everlasting NegroŁ Question :/divdiv id=pastingspan12 John Browns Heritage :/divdiv id=pastingspan13 Revival Resistance and Abolition in the Time of John Brown :/divdiv id=pastingspan1II A Good Cause and a Sovereign God :/divdiv id=pastingspan14 The Early Years: Autobiography and History/divdiv id=pastingspan15 Millennial Hopes Abolitionist Awakenings :/divdiv id=pastingspan16 This Path of LifeŁ: From Ohio to Pennsylvania :/divdiv id=pastingspan1III Providence and Principle :/divdiv id=pastingspan17 Citizen Browns Calvinist Community :/divdiv id=pastin
