Making Good the Claim
Holiness and Visible Unity in the Church of God Reformation Movement
by Rufus Burrow Jr., Gary B. Agee, Barry L. Callen
Paperback, 312 Pages, Published 2016 by Pickwick Publications
ISBN-13: 978-1-4982-3765-9, ISBN: 1-4982-3765-7

"The Church of God Reformation Movement (founded in 1881) has the distinction of having been founded on the two core principles of holiness and visible unity. Standard histories of the group proudly argue that the founder and pioneers exhibited a zeal for interracial unity that began to wane only in the early years of the twentieth century. This book rejects that claim and argues instead that little to no extant hard evidence supports th ..."

Much influenced by the theology of prophecy developed by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, this ..."

God and Human Responsibility(1st Edition)

ISBN-13: 978-0-86554-892-3, ISBN: 0-86554-892-7

"Before now, no writer has sought to systematically relate David Walker to the tradition of eighth-century BCE Hebrew prophecy (Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah). He if generally portrayed in the literature as a black nationalist militant Christian abolitionist of the first third of the nineteenth century. He is also presented as one who advocated indiscriminate violence against whites. "God and Human Responsibility takes issue with this appro ..."

The Domestication of Martin Luther King Jr.
Clarence B. Jones, Right-Wing Conservatism, and the Manipulation of the King Legacy
by Lewis V. Baldwin, Rufus Burrow Jr., Adam Fairclough
Paperback, 300 Pages, Published 2013 by Cascade Books
ISBN-13: 978-1-61097-954-2, ISBN: 1-61097-954-0

"Clarence B. Jones, close King advisor and draft speechwriter, has done much to reinforce a conservative hijacking of King's image with the publication of his controversial books What Would Martin Say? (2008) and Behind the Dream (2011). King emerges from Jones's books not as a prophetic radical who attacked systemic racial injustice, economic exploitation, and wars of aggression, but as a fiercely conservative figure who would oppose af ..."
