Explore the untold story of the early Church—from martyrdom to empire, crusades to colonization. Atrocities of the Early Church unveils the faith’s darkest chapters and its enduring light. Prepare to confront history, challenge dogma, and rediscover the raw power of the Gospel.

This work of writing attempts to make sense of the societal, the philosophical, and the existential predicaments that we all face as individuals or as a collective. I hope this may bring some closure, in the strange world we have been dropped into with no explanation.

Jesus Is Our GodChristian Spiritual Book About the Divinity of Jesus Based on the Bible

CHRISTIAN anthropology—an oxymoron, no? The author, a Christian and anthropologist (Harvard AB 1975 Social Relations; University of Rochester MA 1985, PhD 1995 Anthropology) thinks not.

Mob justice, mob injustice, mob retribution; mob violence and vigilante action; public justice, popular justice, jungle justice; lynching. Different terms for a variable sociocultural phenomenon that has happened and continues to happen around the world—more or less frequently; by no means just in the US; very frequently per capita in Kenya—e.g., 543 for 2011—as compared with even the worst years of the US's recorded lynchings history, but with virtually no Americans aware of this fact. Lynchings in Modern Kenya, then: a book about mob-justice murders in today's Kenya. Three conference papers, a postscript, and addenda, grounded in a large, linked database of mainly Kenyan media pieces and other materials. Ethnography of Kenyan lynchings; USDOS human rights reports as a poor source about them; their historical development; about the Kenya Lynchings Database. Some raw comparators for Africa's leading lynchers—e.g., 2,124 for South Africa for FY 2022/23. Activist Christian anthropology.

 It is a workbook on "shepherding" local fellowships in "Christian Education" and nurturing the Body of Christ toward maturity. It compares the first-century beliefs to today's church dogma. It reviews essential Systematic Theology on various doctrines, their origins, historical background, and their final inclusion into the modern-day church.

This is a workbook on nurturing young Christians converts. It shows fundamental doctrines, habits, and tutoring required for the newly-born believer. It is an in-depth review of the "second birth" process, growth habits, and the inevitable spiritual warfare. The text is inspired by writings from Jesse Penn-Lewis and Watchman Nee.
