A celebration of scholarly works for three professors in the College of Arts & Sciences was held on Thursday, Sept. 23 in the upper level of the library. Books by Richard Goode, professor of history; Tim Johnson, professor of history, and Kim Reed, professor of English and foreign languages, were available at the event.

 
In 1898, Henry James wrote a novella that would become one of the most famous and critically discussed ghost stories ever written, The Turn of the Screw. Three other examples of James's tales of the supernatural, "The Altar of the Dead," "The Beast in the Jungle," and "The Jolly Corner," are included in this edition. These texts reveal on both the thematic and narrative levels James's deepest concerns as a writer.
 
 
 
 
 
If prophets are called to unveil and expose the illegitimacy of those principalities masquerading as "the right" and purportedly using their powers for "the good," then Will D. Campbell is one of the foremost prophets in American religious history. Proclaiming that far too many disciples miss the genius of Christianity's good news of reconciliation, this Ivy League-educated preacher boldly and joyfully affirms society's so-called least one.
 
 
 
Writings on Reconciliation and Resistance
 By Will D. Campbell, Edited by Richard C. Goode
In this anthology Campbell diagnoses a problem afflicting much of the church today. Zealous to make a difference in the world by acquiring the power of legislation and enforcement, Christians employ society's political science rather than the scandalous politics of Jesus. Although well-intentioned, Christians are, Campbell laments, mistakenly "up to our steeples in politics."

 
 
 
 
Notes of the Mexican War, 1846-1848
Edited by Tim Johnson and Nathaniel Hughes
Notes of the Mexican War, 1846-1848, released in March, is the war journal of Jacob Oswandel a volunteer soldier from Pennsylvania. This highly valued eyewitness account of the war between the U.S. and Mexico was originally published in 1885. Co-editors Tim Johnson and Nathaniel Hughes have added explanatory notes and an index to this new edition, which enhance the book's usefulness as well as making it once again accessible to anyone interested in the topic.
