Do scientists speak truth to power? During the Cold War, a group of American strategists and science advisors claimed to do precisely that. Styling themselves as figures of rationality and restraint, they insisted that mutual assured destruction was the natural logic of the atomic age: as long as nuclear deterrence was credible, no one would ever shoot first. This doctrine, known as "strategic stability," became the foundation of the arms control movement. But in this counterhistory, Benjamin Wilson shows that we have misunderstood them and their efforts.

If you work in Christian ministry, it’s likely that at some point in your career, God will call you from one church to another. Do you know how to make this transition effectively? Moving can be scary and full of questions: Where do I start the job search process? Which people do I talk with, and what do I send to them? How do I know if my family and I will fit in at a new church? And how do I tell people I’m leaving?

Eight months after a failed assassination attempt on confederation leadership, Nathan Bishop faces infrastructure warfare unlike anything the confederation has ever encountered. Federal authorities have weaponized confederation infrastructure systems using the confederation's own native protocols—the sophisticated technical standards designed to protect critical systems now turned into attack vectors. Water treatment systems fail. Power grids cascade into darkness. Telecommunications networks collapse.

Nathan Bishop spent his career safeguarding the world’s financial systems—until the day they turned against him. When a shadow network hijacks banking infrastructure and weaponizes every fix he ever designed, Nathan becomes the most wanted fugitive alive… and the only man who might still stop economic Armageddon.

Black Eden chronicles the history of Idlewild, a Michigan black community founded during the aftermath of the Civil War. As one of the nation’s most popular black resorts, Idlewild functioned as a gathering place for African Americans, and more importantly, as a touchstone of black identity and culture. Benjamin C. Wilson and Lewis Walker examine Idlewild’s significance within a historical context, as well as the town’s revitalization efforts and the need for comprehensive planning in future development.

The authors examine the dynamic interplay of texts and their concomitant rhetorical situations by drawing on a number of case studies, including controversial constitutional arguments put forward by activists and presidents in the 19th century, inventive economic pivots by Franklin Roosevelt and Alan Greenspan, and the rhetorical trajectory and method of Barack Obama.

The prospect of Christian Reconstruction is often derided by its critics as being “triumphalist.” One can just hear the unfaithful spies chiding Joshua and Caleb with similar disapproval as they sought to conquer the inhabitants of the promised land– a land filled with giants. But Christ did not entrust the Church with the Great Commission for its mere survival. We have been appointed to a calling that is more expansive than simply “reaching” people groups. We are called to disciple the nations to obedience in all areas of life.
