Not One of Them in Place is the first book to examine the ways in which Jewish belief, thought, and culture have been shaped and articulated in modern American poetry. Based on the idea that recent American poetry has gravitated between two traditions—romantic and symbolist on the one hand, modernist and objectivist on the other—Norman Finkelstein provides a theoretical framework for reading the Jewish-American canon, as well as close readings of well known and less established poets, including Allen Ginsberg, Charles Reznikoff, Louis Zukofsky, Harvey Shapiro, Armand Schwerner, Hugh Seidman, and Michael Heller. Not One of Them in Place presents this poetry in a clear and nuanced style, paying equal attention to its historical and its aesthetic dimensions.

The Book of Martyrs by John Foxe written in the 16th century has long been the go-to source for studying the lives and martyrdom of the apostles. Whilst other scholars have written individual treatments on the more prominent apostles such as Peter, Paul, John, and James, there is little published information on the other apostles. In The Fate of the Apostles, Sean McDowell offers a comprehensive, reasoned, historical analysis of the fate of the twelve disciples of Jesus along with the apostles Paul, and James. McDowell assesses the evidence for each apostle’s martyrdom as well as determining its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The question of the fate of the apostles also gets to the heart of the reliability of the kerygma: did the apostles really believe Jesus appeared to them after his death, or did they fabricate the entire story? How reliable are the resurrection accounts? The willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular argument in resurrection studies and McDowell offers insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new ground within the spheres of New Testament studies, Church History, and apologetics.

In A.D. 66, Palestine rebelled against the authority and arrogance of oppressive Roman rule. Unlikely as it was, and impossible as it was to succeed, it happened. In the spring of A.D. 70, Titus Vespasianus, son of Vespasian, the emperor of Rome, marched to Jerusalem with his legions to reestablish Roman control over the city. Titus came to the city and found an old friend who was no longer his friend. His name was Simon Gioras, and he led the Zealots, the implacable opponents of Rome. Two men, once friends, are caught up in changing times and loyalties. The war changed them both; forever. It may have destroyed them both. Not one Stone Upon Another is a novel and a story of that struggle that changed the history not only of two friends, but of the Jewish people, and therefore the world. John Prescott Spent most of his adult life in deep South Texas, very near the U.S.-Mexican border. He presently lives in central New York with his wife and a little dog named Mia . He has retired from two professions; he's a retired pharmacist, and a retired CPA. He enjoys travel and writing; he has no plans to retire from writing.
