In a piano factory tucked away in Richmond, Indiana, Gennett Records produced thousands of records featuring obscure musicians from hotel orchestras and backwoods fiddlers to the future icons of jazz, blues, country music, and rock 'n' roll. From 1916 to 1934, the company debuted such future stars as Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke, and Hoagy Carmichael, while also capturing classic performances by Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, Uncle Dave Macon, and Gene Autry. While Gennett Records was overshadowed by competitors such as Victor and Columbia, few record companies documented the birth of America's grassroots music as thoroughly as this small-town label. In this newly revised and expanded edition of Jelly Roll, Bix, and Hoagy, Rick Kennedy shares anecdotes from musicians, employees, and family members to trace the colorful history of one of America's most innovative record companies.

Written in the genre of Henry David Thoreau''s travel-thinking essays, Jesus, History, and Mount Darwin: An Academic Excursion is the story of a three-day climb into the Evolution Range of the High Sierra mountains of California. Mount Darwin stands among other mountains near fourteen thousand feet high and that are named after promoters of religious versions of evolutionary thinking. Rick Kennedy, a history professor from Point Loma, uses the climb as an opportunity to think about general education and how both the natural history of evolution and the ancient history of Jesus can find a home in the Aristotelian diversity of university methods. Kennedy offers the academic foundations for the credibility and reliability of accounts of Jesus in the New Testament, while pointing out that these foundations have the same weaknesses and strengths that ancient history has in general. Natural history, Kennedy points out, has a different set of strengths and weaknesses from ancient history. Overall, the book reminds students and professors of the wisdom in being humble.

Band 8 der Biblia Americana von Cotton Mather (1693-1728) enthält einen umfangreichen Kommentar zum Johannesevangelium und zur Apostelgeschichte. Bei der Untersuchung des Johannesevangeliums liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Christologie und der Verwendung von Typen und Allegorien. Mather beschreibt eine Geschichte der Duldung und Verfolgung jüdischer Siedlungen auf drei Kontinenten bis zum achtzehnten Jahrhundert. In der Einleitung wird Mathers Methode mit der Tradition der sozialen Epistemologie und den fortschrittlichen historiographischen Entwicklungen von Pierre Bayle und den sephardischen Juden in Verbindung gebracht.
