David Brion Davis's books on the history of slavery reflect some of the most distinguished and influential thinking on the subject to appear in the past generation. The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Revolution; the sequel to Davis's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Problem of Slavery in Western Culture and the second volume of a proposed trilogy; is a truly monumental work of historical scholarship that first appeared in 1975 to critical acclaim both academic and literary. This reprint of that important work includes a new preface by the author; in which he situates the book's argument within the historiographic debates of the last two decades.

Christian SpiritualityBy Todd P. PhillipsThis book is a larger treatment of Dr. Tyson's theme found in "Faith; Doubt; and Courage" (Abingdon Press; 2008). Using original sources; the author brings together the thoughts and theological perspectives of Christian writers from Ignatius of Antioch in the second century to contemporary theologians such as Thomas Merton; Martin Luther King Jr.; and Rosemary Radford Ruether. The excerpted anthology encourages readers to consider further exploration of ecumenical influences on today's Christianity.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A required text bookBy CustomerAlthough I originally purchased this book for my seminary church history class; I find I won't be stopping at the required reading. Tyson does an excellent job of giving enough information on each writer to grasp their beliefs but not enough to bog the reader down in details. Some of his articles are almost a tease; enticing one to want to read more about those writers. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about their Christian spiritual heritage.
