Book Description
Winner of the James Mooney Award of the Southern Anthropological Society In this bracingly original anthropological study, Miles Richardson draws on forty years of empirical research to explore the paradox that while humans must die like all evolving life forms, they have adapted a unique symbolic communication that makes them aware of their naturally occurring fate; and through word and artifact, they dwell upon that discovery. Using the concepts of culture and place, he illuminates how two groups, Catholics in Spanish America and Baptists in the American South, create “being-in-Christ” and thereby “put death in its place.” The book combines biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a rigorous evolutionary framework; and a postmodern dialogic stance to view humanity as inescapably a product of nature without sacrificing the interpretative social constructions that “turn a primate into a poem.” Hard-won ethnographic detail and moving religious insight make this an enthralling work.

The groups included in this study are: Heaven's Gate, Jesus People USA, the Love Family, The Farm, Amish Women, Scientology, El Niño Fidencio, Santería, and Freedom Park. The contributors are social scientists with first-hand knowledge of the groups they examine.

Book Description
Martyrdom, Murder, and Magic: Child Saints and Their Cults in Medieval Europe is a comprehensive history of child saints and their cults from late Antiquity to the end of the fifteenth century. The child martyrs of the persecutions, including the Holy Innocents, were the first child saints recognized by the Church and their cults spread throughout Europe in the early Middle Ages. Alongside these cults, medieval society also venerated child «martyrs», victims of political or domestic violence. The increasing role of the papacy in the canonization process after the tenth century resulted in the veneration of saintly child confessors in the high Middle Ages, but from the end of the twelfth century, most children worshipped as saints were the alleged victims of ritual murder by Jews. This book considers the formation and transformation of child saints and their cults in the context of popular belief and the history of childhood.

Book Description
Part sports writing, part travelogue, this is a portrait of Spain, its people, and their passion for a beautiful yet deadly spectacle. A brilliant observer in the tradition of Adam Gopnik and Paul Theroux, Edward Lewine reveals a Spain few outsiders have seen. There's nothing more Spanish than bullfighting, and nothing less like its stereotype. For matadors and aficionados, it is not a blood sport but an art, an ancient subculture steeped in ritual, machismo, and the feverish attentions of fans and the press. Lewine explains Spain and the art of the bulls by spending a bullfighting season traveling Spanish highways with the celebrated matador Francisco Rivera Ordónez, following Fran, as he’s known, through every region and social stratum. Fran’s great-grandfather was a famous bullfighter and the inspiration for Hemingway’s matador in The Sun Also Rises. Fran’s father was also a star matador, until a bull took his life shortly before Fran’s eleventh birthday. Fran is blessed and haunted by his family history. Formerly a top performer himself, Fran’s reputation has slipped, and as the season opens he feels intense pressure to live up to his legacy amid tabloid scrutiny in the wake of his separation from his wife, a duchess. But Fran perseveres through an eventful season of early triumph, serious injury, and an unlikely return to glory. A New York Times Editor’s Choice Praise for Death and the Sun “May be the most in-depth, incisively written guide to bullfighting available in English. Every drunken sophomore riding the rails to Pamplona this summer ought to keep a volume in his backpack.” —New York Times Book Review “Lewine demonstrates knowledge of and respect for the matador’s dangerous profession. E also explores the history of Spaine and the charms and contradictions evident within the country’s exceptionally varied cultures and people.” —Boston Globe

Book Description
Calvin left the Papal tyranny to become a tyrant himself. This is a summary of how Calvinism has ruined all the Protestant, Evangelical, Baptist, and cult churches. They all refuse to read the Bible in its own historical context in order to see what God has revealed to us believers. Every church meeting is filled with philosophy, mythology, occult psychology, and humanistic sociology from polling the reprobates. We live according to Gal. 5:22 and 1 John 2:15-17. 1. The Calvinists and All the Rest of the so-called Reformers misuse the Bible by quoting the verses out of their historical context. by following Plato, Scholastic theologians, Gnostic speculations, Constantine's Emperor sun worship better known as the Papal Christian Myth, horny monks and Justin Martyr's 8 heresies in his non-Christian philosophy. Send for the summary. Tell me what the Calvinists changed? Very little! 2. The Reformers kept the magic Sacraments-animism from the Latin Mystery Religion, by having salvation coming through the priestly magicians applying magic water and cannibalizing Jesus. The magic Means of Grace from the clergy saves you if. 3. Calvinism keeps mediators between me and Jesus Christ, such as, the elite clergy, the Episcopal Presbytery, and Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Myth." 4. Only the duly authorized clergy-priests can serve the body and blood of the Animistic Sacrament to the laity and the peons. The magic water saves one from the mythical Original Sin from the Augustine, the horny monk, Deut. 24:16. 5. The parishioners must keep the "means of grace," the Jewish Decalogue, and other superstitious church laws to follow the error of "progressive sanctification" lies and to make the assurance of salvation UNSURE and fill them with constant guilt of failing to keep the laws. 6. The gullible church members must keep the SABBATH, that is gone, and the Jewish TITHE, that supported the Aaronic priesthood, and other dead rituals and social works, Heb. 9:14. 7. Cal wanted to be a priest under Queen Bess I. So much for the priesthood of the believer. 8. In PCA, Book of Church Order and the Pagan Westminster Confession were my authority if you were conservative. The liberals followed their own Gnostic mysticism. 9. At the Presbytery, they ran the churches like the Episcopalian form of government. 10. They love the KJV, the papal elite Latinized mistranslation from Jerome. All the Latin words changed the meaning of the Koine Greek into their papal myth. 11.) The Bill of Rights forced the Calvinists out of the State Church persecution of the Quakers and Baptists as they did under King Edward, the 6th, and in Massachusetts.
