American newspapers during the War Between the States were intensely partisan and reported the war news with strong biases. This intriguing study in the manipulation of the news follows the account of the military adventures of the Twenty-Sixth New Jersey Infantry; a nine-month volunteer regiment raised in and around Newark.

15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Entering the Larger PictureBy Tyler McCabeResearch and scholarship are clearly Adeney's strengths; but Kingdom Without Borders is far more than a factual recounting of Christianity around the globe. What could simply fall flat as a contemporary update on religion blooms into something more through Adeney's moving stories and unforgettable characters. Kingdom Without Borders gives us a taste for what God is doing in China; Latin America; the Middle East; India; and Africa; and the ways in which his Spirit is communicating with humanity--as well as the practical and economic realities that followers of Christ face in their corners of the world. By the end of this book; you will be realizing along with Adeney that "the worldwide church is built from a thousand thousand communities of grace; one story at a time."This book will graft you into that complex and beautiful global church; reshaping how you perceive God's love for people and His work among them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
