The authors locate the Disciples' theological tradition against a background of evolving intellectual history--from its immediate antecedents in the eighteenth-century Enlightenment through its birth in the American West of the early nineteenth century, to the various challenges of modernism over the past 120 years.

Well, all the answers can be found here in Texas. "Texas Brag" is a long cherished tradition in the nation's second largest state. But the fact is that Texas does have more than its share of unique people, places, events, inventions, and products: many of them the first, the largest, or the only representative of its kind. Braggin' on Texas takes an accurate but less than serious look at the Lone Star State--both past and present--by presenting some of the most obscure, convoluted, and occasionally outrageous achievements of Texans and their state. So sit back and prepare to enjoy Texas as you've never knnown it before |
