Lutheranism in the Southeastern States 1860-1886.

The Hague : Mouton,1969. Orig. cloth binding. Dustjacket. 276 pp. (Studies in American History, 10). Condition : fine. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. From the publisher : This book recreates the life of Lutherans in the states of the Confederacy during and after the Civil War, It tells its story on two lovels, deseribing the ecclesiastical changes which took place as a new general body of Lutherans was organized in the Confederacy, and then telling of the personal aspects of religious life in the south. The book traces the streams of immigration which brought Lutherans into the south, and then goes on to sketch the various synods which devel oped there up to 1860. The story is livened by attention to the personalities which cach of the synods displayed, so that the reader comes to feel the differences already present among the southern synods. With the coming of the Civil War, the synods faced the agonizing question of their relationship to other Lutheran bodies in the United States. After much hesitation, a General Synod in the Confederate States of America was organized, and that body continued to bind southern Lutherans together for more than fifty years. This book traces the constitutional development and work of the General Synod through its most formative years. War also brought problems of service to mili tary personnel, morale, and scarcity of money. By quoting from rare newspapers and synod minutes, the author of this book is able to tell the full story of the war years among southern Lutherans for the first time. With the collapse of the Confederacy in 1865 the south entered on the hard years of Reconstruc tion. What was it like to live and worship in the south during that period? Here is the whole story. We learn how Lutherans built their churches, how much they paid their pastors, what hymns they sang, how they were married and buried, and how they felt about alcohol, tobacco, and circuses. Quotations from diaries, church records, and letters make the religious atmosphere of the post Civil War south come alive. Larger social issues, such as the relation of the churches to freed Negroes and renewed immigra tion from Europe, also receive attention. Key advances in church life are discovered in little known innovations like the Box System of fund raising, the introduction of a new Book of Wor ship, and a new attitude toward denominationalism. In short, Lutheranism in the Southeastern States is a pioneering work in a new type of historio graphy. It tells the story of an age the way the ordinary people of that age experienced it. It is human history at its warmest and best.

The imposed revolution and its constitution : Iraqi constitutional politics during the American occupation.

New York : Columbia University Press, 2009. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 376 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. - The attempt in 2004 to draft an interim constitution in Iraq and the effort to enact a permanent one in 2005 were unintended outcomes of the American occupation, which first sought to impose a constitution by its agents. This two-stage constitution-making paradigm, implemented in a wholly unplanned move by the Iraqis and their American sponsors, formed a kind of compromise between the populist-democratic project of Shi'ite clerics and America's external interference. As long as it was used in a coherent and legitimate way, the method held promise. Unfortunately, the logic of external imposition and political exclusion compromised the negotiations. Andrew Arato is the first person to record this historic process and analyze its special problems. He compares the drafting of the Iraqi constitution to similar, externally imposed constitutional revolutions by the United States, especially in Japan and Germany, and identifies the political missteps that contributed to problems of learning and legitimacy. Instead of claiming that the right model of constitution making would have maintained stability in Iraq, Arato focuses on the fragile opportunity for democratization that was strengthened only slightly by the methods used to draft a constitution. Arato contends that this event would have benefited greatly from an overall framework of internationalization, and he argues that a better set of guidelines (rather than the obsolete Hague and Geneva regulations) should be followed in the future. With access to an extensive body of literature, Arato highlights the difficulty of exporting democracy to a country that opposes all such foreign designs and fundamentally disagrees on matters of political identity.

Barber, Sotirios A.

Welfare and the Constitution.

Princeton, NJ : Princeton University Press, 2003. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 184 pp. (New Forum Books). - Welfare and the Constitution defends a largely forgotten understanding of the U.S. Constitution: the positive or welfarist view of Abraham Lincoln and the Federalist Papers. Sotirios Barber challenges conventional scholarship by arguing that the government has a constitutional duty to pursue the well-being of all the people. He shows that James Madison was right in saying that the real welfare of the people must be the supreme object of constitutional government. With conceptual rigor set in fluid prose, Barber opposes the shared view of America's Right and Left: that the federal constitutional duties of public officials are limited to respecting negative liberties and maintaining processes of democratic choice. Barber contends that no historical, scientific, moral, or metaethical argument can favor today's negative constitutionalism over Madison's positive understanding. He urges scholars to develop a substantive account of constitutional ends for use in critiquing Supreme Court decisions, the policies of elected officials, and the attitudes of the larger public. He defends the philosophical possibility of such theories while also offering a theory of his own as a starting point for the discussion the book will provoke. This theory holds, for example, that voucher schemes which drain resources from secular public schools to schools that would train citizens to submit to religious authority are unconstitutional; First Amendment issues aside, such schemes defeat what is undeniably an element of the real welfare of the people, individually and collectively: the capacity to think critically for oneself.English text.
