  Rebecca Davis, Georgia Southern University and Sandra Peacock, Georgia Southern University

  11-1-2004
  

  On a cold winter day in the midst of the Depression, the hardworking wife of a farmer and Primitive Baptist preacher in South Georgia gave birth to her 11th child, a daughter named Faye.

  Irish Priests in the United States: A Vanishing Subculture

  William L. Smith, Georgia Southern University

  6-2004
  

  Four thousand Irish-born and Irish-seminary educated priests have served in the United States and nearly 1,250 are currently affiliated with American dioceses. The Irish-Catholic upbringing of these priests, along with their Irish education, immigrant status, and missionary spirit, distinguish them from American-born priests. These priests have left an indelible mark in the U.S. primarily by staffing Catholic parishes in the South, West, and Southwest. They are, however, a vanishing subculture due to an increasing mortality rate and the dearth of vocations to the priesthood in Ireland.
  
  This book is the beginning of a much-needed discussion about the experiences and beliefs of ... Read more

  Early Modern Catholicism: Essays in Honour of John O’Malley, S.J.

  Kathleen M. Comerford, Georgia Southern University and Hilmar M. Pabel, Simon Fraser University

  12-22-2002
  

  Book Summary: The so-called Counter- or Catholic Reformation has traditionally been viewed as a monolith. John O'Malley, a distinguished scholar of the Renaissance and Reformation, has decisively challenged this interpretation, emphasizing the variety, vitality, and complexity of Catholicism in the early modern era. The essays in Early Modern Catholicism, written in O'Malley's honour, present new research on subjects ranging from art in China to popular religion, from new religious orders to colonial architecture, and suggest new interpretations of the accepted picture of various societies, institutions, and individuals which together constituted the Catholic Church in the period from the fifteenth through ...

  Difficult Memories: Talk in a (Post) Holocaust Era

  Marla Morris, Georgia Southern University and John A. Weaver, Georgia Southern University

  5-22-2002
  

  Book Summary: Difficult Memories: Talk in a (Post) Holocaust Era attempts a difficult cross-cultural discussion. These scholars agree that the Holocaust is not just in the past – it is with us in memory. Professors and students alike – whether European, American, or Canadian, or whether Holocaust survivors – second or third generation Jews «after» the event are affected/effected by this haunting memory. Here scholars attempt to grapple with trauma, horror, anti-Semitism, hatred, murder, guilt, mourning, and anger – all the unthinkable subject matters that are usually squashed out of our curricula. The authors explore Holocaust issues via fiction, philosophy, ... Read more
