This wide-ranging anthology uncovers the hidden histories and ideas of community armed self-defense, exploring how it has been used by marginalized and oppressed communities as well as anarchists and radicals within significant social movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Story
According to the Bible, do individuals have a right to self-defense, up to and including the use of deadly force? What about the consistent teaching and example of Jesus Christ, who advocated for peaceful, non-violent opposition to evil? Are these two concepts in opposition? Do these considerations have anything to say to the Christian who is concerned about gun rights and gun violence in America? Pastor Gordan Runyan's message is a short but sober look into all of this. This is a Ragtown Pulpit sermon, meant to address real questions believers need to answer in the real world.

In Before the Movement, Dylan C. Penningroth brilliantly revises the conventional story. Drawing on long-forgotten sources found in the basements of county courthouses across the nation, Penningroth reveals that African Americans, far from being ignorant about law until the middle of the twentieth century, have thought about, talked about, and used it going as far back as even the era of slavery.

Story
Social justice matters because we—each of us—matter. Unless we learn to co-exist as equals, we will never live optimally. To denigrate any one of us is to demean all of us. Absent the wholesale embrace of social justice, we risk succumbing to human tendencies to stereotype, "otherize," and scapegoat. Those tendencies, left unchecked, lead to horrific ends. When we see ourselves in others, we understand that our shared humanity eclipses all else. Through our disagreements, we must never doubt the dignity and worth of the other.
