Ethical Prophets along the Way

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Ethical Prophets is strong evidence that Rufus Burrow Jr. belongs in the hall of fame for social ethicists who give voice to the voiceless and who inspire and instruct those wishing to embody the ethical prophecy exemplified by the brave souls depicted in these powerful pages. A magisterial study and, best of all, an enlightening read for those of us stuck in troubling times.”

Strength for the Fight

History & Biography

“An insightful and uplifting account of the role that faith played in Jackie Robinson’s life on and off the field. Meticulously researched, Strength for the Fight situates Robinson’s faith in wider society and culture as no other book does. It’s a significant contribution not only to our understanding of Robinson but also to the growing field of religion and sports.”

The Way of Peace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Jeffrey Meyers's magnificent book offers deep insight into the prophetic theology of A. J. Muste, arguably the most important pacifist of twentieth-century America. We are indebted to Meyers for helping us understand not only Muste's Christian convictions but also the spirituality that drove so much of US pacifism from World War I to the Cold War.”

We Say NO!

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Kerry Walters deserves high praise for calling our attention back to Dick Sheppard's classic in Christian and secular pacifism. A delightful mix of practical reason and moral imagination, We Say NO! offers the hard analysis and tender vision we need for resisting the horrific injustices of war--including our own War on Terror. Walters's new edition of We Say NO! is a rich and invaluable contribution to the history of pacifism and our ongoing campaigns for peace and justice.”
