Editors Charles River

The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican style government to roads. Similarly, by the 3rd century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function. At the same time, most were embedded with stories, messages, and symbolism so that they also tended to function as propaganda. These monuments allowed the leading citizens of Rome, especially its emperors, to sculpt their own self-image and embed themselves and their most memorable deeds into the very structure of the Roman city.  
	While some of the most famous examples, like the Colosseum and Pantheon, remain striking testaments to Roman engineering and technology, many of the scientific advances the Romans ushered into the world were smaller in scope but not necessarily any less important. Indeed, the Roman Empire was not just one of the most technologically advanced civilizations within the ancient world but also proportionately one of the most prolific throughout all history. A substantial number of these innovations were lost following the eventual fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and the subsequent centuries of decline of the Byzantine Empire starting in the early 7th century, but rediscoveries of their advancements began during the later Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Era (c. 1400s). Some of their ideas and designs are only now being improved upon thanks to newer, far more advanced modern technologies.

Without Sanctuary: Photography...

Vines Graener

Welcome to Photography and Lynching in America: Without Sanctuary. In this powerful exploration, we confront the painful and often overlooked history of racial violence in the United States, particularly focusing on the practice of lynching in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This audiobook examines not just the brutality of these acts, but the ways in which they were immortalized through photography, turning horrific moments of racial terrorism into public spectacles. 
Through the lens of these photographs, we see the complicity of ordinary white citizens and community leaders who participated in, or stood by, as these brutal acts unfolded. We’ll also delve into the disturbing justifications used to defend lynching, such as the perpetuation of white supremacy and false narratives surrounding black criminality. But this history is not just about the past—it’s about how these acts continue to shape the racial landscape of America today. 
As we journey through this dark chapter of American history, we’ll explore the resilience of black communities, the fight for justice, and the lasting impact of these events. This audiobook seeks to not only remember these atrocities but to understand how they continue to influence the ongoing struggle against racism in America. Stay with us as we peel back the layers of this history and face its painful truths, in the hope of building a more just and equal future.

Jennifer L. Holberg

Humans are story-shaped creatures.
We make sense of our world, pattern our lives, and reflect on what is ultimately significant through language and the words that compose our stories. But how does this relate to the narrative of the Bible and the story that God is writing through history?
In Nourishing Narratives, writer and professor Jennifer Holberg engages with words from the likes of Dante, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Flannery O'Connor, Marilynne Robinson, and more while also offering some of her own stories to reflect on the importance of story to our lives and our faith.
Here, readers are encouraged not only to understand how stories nourish our faith, but to discover how our stories are part of God's great story.
