Richard Drake presents a new interpretation of Charles Austin Beard's life and work. The foremost American historian and a leading public intellectual in the first half of the twentieth century, Beard participated actively in the debates about American politics and foreign policy surrounding the two world wars. In a radical change of critical focus, Charles Austin Beard places the European dimension of Beard's thought at the center, correcting previous biographers' oversights and presenting a far more nuanced appreciation for Beard's life.
Drake analyzes the stages of Beard's development as a historian and critic: his role as an intellectual leader in the Progressive movement, the support that he gave to the cause of American intervention in World War I, and his subsequent revisionist repudiation of Wilsonian ideals and embrace of non-interventionism in the lead-up to World War II. Charles Austin Beard shows that, as Americans tally the ruinous costs—both financial and moral—of nation-building and informal empire, the life and work of this prophet of history merit a thorough reexamination.

Описание: Claude Gilbert's The Gospel to the Choctaws is a brief narrative about the intrinsic connection between the life of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Choctaw Nation. A fledgling denomination, whose existence was still uncertain and could easily have disappeared into the wilderness of the eastern frontiers of a young nation, found itself among the Choctaw peoples. This book is also a recounting of the evolution of Cumberland Presbyterian mission work. The idea of entering a "foreign field" to share the gospel of Jesus Christ has transitioned and transformed to creating community. T.S. Eliot poses the question succinctly, "What life have you if you have not life together?" Living together in community requires patience and understanding. Human history has shown how varied and complex, frightening and fragile life is. Being a community in praise of God magnifies how awesome and delightful, and more beautiful and strong life is when we are together. The Cumberland Presbyterian narrative has been bestowed the gift of community from the Choctaws during its two hundred plus years filled with adversity, dignity and confidence in the future. This gift of community has helped shape the story of how we became the Cumberland Presbyterian people that we are and why we think and feel the way we do. In essence, the Gospel to the Choctaws is just one narrative. It is the retelling of two peoples whose enthusiasm for Christ become one, combining tragedy with perseverance, offenses with friendship and injustice with love. The Choctaw Cumberland Presbyterians have exemplified Eliot's words, "There is no life that is not in community. And no community not lived in praise of God."
