Book Description
Branded as "the new Falun Gong" by local authorities, The Church of Almighty God is the most persecuted religious movement in China today. Thousands of police officers are deployed full time to identify and arrest its members. Hundreds of thousands of its devotees are in jail. Authorities claim, perhaps hyperbolically, that it has some four million members and accuse the group of serious crimes. Yet, the movement continues to grow. In this ground-breaking study, Massimo Introvigne offers an inside look at this once-elusive movement, sharing interviews with hundreds of members and the Chinese police officers who hunt them down. The story of The Church of Almighty God is one of rapid growth, dramatic persecution, and the struggle of believers to seek asylum in countries around the world. In his telling of the story, Introvigne reconstructs the Church's idiosyncratic theology, centered in the belief that Jesus Christ has returned in our time in the shape of a Chinese woman, worshipped as Almighty God, to eradicate the sinful nature of humans, and that we have entered the third and final time period in the history of humanity: the Age of Kingdom. A major book from one of the world's leading scholars of new religious movements, Inside The Church of Almighty God is a critical addition to the scholarship of Chinese religion.

Book Description
In this fascinating cultural history of interracial marriage and its legal regulation in the United States, Fay Botham argues that religion--specifically, Protestant and Catholic beliefs about marriage and race--had a significant effect on legal decisions concerning miscegenation and marriage in the century following the Civil War. She contends that the white southern Protestant notion that God "dispersed" the races and the American Catholic emphasis on human unity and common origins point to ways that religion influenced the course of litigation and illuminate the religious bases for Christian racist and antiracist movements.

Book Description
Bible is a book with invaluable lessons for us. Unfortunately Christians nurture & encourage many strong but illogical beliefs based on the word by word interpretation of the Bible. Two of the many such beliefs are that Jews are the chosen people of God & that Israel is a holy land gifted to Jews by God. These beliefs have led to the creation of Israel in 1948 which in turn is extending the long standing tension between Jews and Arabs specifically & Christians and Muslims in general. Can this conflict find a closure with these beliefs intact? Can Christians contribute to diffuse this tension by abandoning these illogical beliefs? Can Christianity sustain the message of Jesus Christ while clinging on to these illogical beliefs intact? Or can Christians show leadership by adopting the true message of Jesus Christ? Can we alter the level of equality and inequality & the level of virtue and sin in our world? Or is it set constant by some divine formula? Perhaps like Einstein's theory that energy can not be destroyed or created?
