Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the University of the South, at Sewanee, Tennessee: From Its Founding by the Southern Bishops, Clergy and Laity of the Episcopal Church in 1857 to the Year 1905 To perpetuate, in some degree, the labors and sacrifices made in the upbuilding of the University, and to follow, step by step, its gradual growth, is a labor of love and reverential regard. It is hoped that these pages will increase, in its alumni and friends, the already fervent Sewanee spirit, and create that reverence for the past, and for the men who, under God's merciful Providence, labored for the accomplishment of the great and ennobling thought of Polk, Otey, Elliott and Green, and later on of Quintard, and their associates, to build up for the glory of God and the good of mankind, this Christian seat of learning, for which we may well all pray, in the words of Bishop Elliott at the laying of the cornerstone in 1860.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fall of the Confederacy proved traumatic for a people who fought with the belief that God was on their side. Yet, as Eugene D. Genovese writes in A Consuming Fire, Southern Christians continued to trust in the Lord's will. The churches had long defended "southern rights" and insisted upon the divine sanction for slavery, but they also warned that God was testing His people, who must bring slavery up to biblical standards or face the wrath of an angry God. In the eyes of proslavery theorists, clerical and lay, social relations and material conditions affected the extent and pace of the spread of the Gospel and men's preparation to receive it. For proslavery spokesmen, "Christian slavery" offered the South, indeed the world, the best hope for the vital work of preparation for the Kingdom, but they acknowledged that, from a Christian point of view, the slavery practiced in the South left much to be desired. For them, the struggle to reform, or rather transform, social relations was nothing less than a struggle to justify the trust God placed in them when He sanctioned slavery. The reform campaign of prominent ministers and church laymen featured demands to secure slave marriages and family life, repeal the laws against slave literacy, and punish cruel masters. A Consuming Fire analyzes the strength, weakness, and failure of the struggle for reform and the nature and significance of southern Christian orthodoxy and its vision of a proper social order, class structure, and race relations.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award “Injects much-needed vibrancy into the stuffy world of nature writing.” —Outside, “The Outdoor Books That Shaped the Last Decade” The biologist and author of Sounds Wild and Broken combines elegant writing with scientific expertise to reveal the secret world hidden in a single square meter of old-growth forest In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home. Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.

The initial steps taken by Bishop Polk to create a church university for the Southern States, and the concurrent action of the bishops of the Southern dioceses in furtherance of his plans. 1856. In the year 1856 general prosperity prevailed throughout the South. All the Southern dioceses were organized and the church was rapidly growing in the Southern States. Their bishops were in the prime of life and were men of great and commanding influence. Louisiana, Bishop Polk's own diocese, especially was advancing rapidly in wealth. The immense State of Texas had been added to the area of the Southern States. Arkansas' rich cotton fields were being rapidly brought into cultivation, Florida was attracting much attention, and the Southern States were in a far stronger and more prosperous condition than ever before. The population of the Southern States, which in 1840 numbered five million, one hundred and nineteen thousand, had increased so rapidly that they numbered, in 1860, eight million and sixty-two thousand, with an immense capital invested in slaves, productive cotton and sugar plantations, and manufactures. Such was the condition of the South when Bishop Polk put forth, July 1st, 1856, his well known letter addressed by name to the Rt. Rev. James Hervey Otey of Tennessee, Rt. Rev. Stephen Elliott of Georgia, the Rt. Rev. Nicholas Hamner Cobbs of Alabama, the Rt. Rev. George W. Freeman of Arkansas, the Rt. Rev. Francis Huger Rutledge of Florida, the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Davis of South Carolina and the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Atkinson of North Carolina. Bishop Polk begins his letter by referring to the condition of the church in the South and the duty of its chief ministers to promote its welfare and to overcome the obstacles which...

Book excerpt: An impassioned, thoughtful, and fearless essay on the effects of racism on the American identity by one of our country’s most humane literary voices. Acclaimed as “one of the most humane, honest, liberating works of our time” (The Village Voice), The Hidden Wound is a book-length essay about racism and the damage it has done to the identity of our country. Through Berry’s personal experience, he explains how remaining passive in the face of the struggle of racism further corrodes America’s great potential. In a quiet and observant manner, Berry opens up about how his attempt to discuss racism is rooted in the hope that someday the historical wound will begin to heal. Pulitzer prize-winning author Larry McMurtry calls this “a profound, passionate, crucial piece of writing . . . Few readers, and I think, no writers will be able to read it without a small pulse of triumph at the temples: the strange, almost communal sense of triumph one feels when someone has written truly well . . . The statement it makes is intricate and beautiful, sad but strong.” “Mr. Berry is a sophisticated, philosophical poet in the line descending from Emerson and Thoreau." ―The Baltimore Sun "[Berry’s poems] shine with the gentle wisdom of a craftsman who has thought deeply about the paradoxical strangeness and wonder of life." ―The Christian Science Monitor "Wendell Berry is one of those rare individuals who speaks to us always of responsibility, of the individual cultivation of an active and aware participation in the arts of life." ―The Bloomsbury Review “[Berry’s] poems, novels and essays . . . are probably the most sustained contemporary articulation of America’s agrarian, Jeffersonian ideal.” ―Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: The book covers 113 son the 150 years of Sewanee's continuous boarding school, including its 64 years as the Sewanee Military Academy. Sewanee's remarkable preparatory school was foundational to the University of the South and still flourishes in its civilian form. During its long military period it provided essential support for the University while brilliantly epitomizing a disciplinary style now foreign to contemporary ethos. After 150 years, it continues as "S.A.S," still productive of leadership in the modern world and still vital to the life of the town.

Download or read book Christian Ritual and the Creation of British Slave Societies, 1650-1780 written by Nicholas M. Beasley and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a new and challenging look at Christian institutions and practices in Britain’s Caribbean and southern American colonies. Focusing on the plantation societies of Barbados, Jamaica, and South Carolina, Nicholas M. Beasley finds that the tradition of liturgical worship in these places was more vibrant and more deeply rooted in European Christianity than previously thought. In addition, Beasley argues, white colonists’ attachment to religious continuity was thoroughly racialized. Church customs, sacraments, and ceremonies were a means of regulating slavery and asserting whiteness. Drawing on a mix of historical and anthropological methods, Beasley covers such topics as church architecture, pew seating customs, marriage, baptism, communion, and funerals. Colonists created an environment in sacred time and space that framed their rituals for maximum social impact, and they asserted privilege and power by privatizing some rituals and by meting out access to rituals to people of color. Throughout, Beasley is sensitive to how this culture of worship changed as each colony reacted to its own political, environmental, and demographic circumstances across time. Local factors influencing who partook in Christian rituals and how, when, and where these rituals took place could include the structure of the Anglican Church, which tended to be less hierarchical and centralized than at home in England; the level of tensions between Anglicans and Protestants; the persistence of African religious beliefs; and colonists’ attitudes toward free persons of color and elite slaves. This book enriches an existing historiography that neglects the cultural power of liturgical Christianity in the early South and the British Caribbean and offers a new account of the translation of early modern English Christianity to early America.
