Killing Congress
Since Congress was established in 1789, seven members have been assassinated and several others have been the victims of attempted assassinations or other acts of violence. Additionally, eight members of Congress have died while serving in Congress in other ways. These incidents have taken place throughout the existence of the United States and have a wide variety of interesting causes. In Killing Congress: Assassinations, Attempted Assassinations, and other Violence Enacted on Members of the U.S. Congress, Nancy Marion and Willard Oliver examine the assassinations and attempted assassinations of members of Congress, describing the actions that led up to the violence, the incidents themselves, and the repercussions of the events. Marion and Oliver also look closely at other violent attacks against Congressional members, including beatings and bio-attacks. The book not only describes the assassinations, but discusses the short- and long-term impacts of the violence that takes place on Capitol Hill.

Harmony Is Love
Although most religious institutions offer Bible readings at their services, many Christians hear the good news only in bits and pieces. But to be true and effective disciples, one must hear about the good news frequently. In Harmony is Love, author RA Bliss, a scholar and gospel researcher since 1997, harmonizes the good news. Using only the oldest gospel manuscripts, the harmonized works of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and parts of Acts and Hebrews have been combined to provide a more chronologically complete picture of what was written in the New Testament about the savior’s time on earth. Abundant footnotes help clarify the details of persons, places, and scenes of that time. It discusses the: • Birth, infancy, and adolescence of Jesus and John • Truths about John the Baptist • Beginning of Jesus’ ministry • Ministry in Galilee • Last Judean and Perean ministry of Jesus • Final week at Jerusalem • Resurrection • The forty days until the ascension Harmony is Love enlightens, teaches, and deepens Christians’ understanding of the good news and God’s love for all.

Regulating Religion
Regulating Religion: Case Studies from Around the Globe presents, through the inclusion of contributions by international scholars, a global examination of how a number of contemporary societies are regulating religious groups.

As such, this analysis falls within the broad area of the sociology of social control and more specifically, legal social control, a topic of great interest when studying how contemporary societies attempt to maintain social order. The factual details about social and legal developments in societies where religion has been defined as problematic include Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in the sociology of religion, the sociology of law, social policy, and religious studies as well as policy makers.
