This compilation is an important new resources for every discipline of ecclesiastical studies. Its detailed resume of scriptural pronouncements from the Second Century to Benedict XVI; offers a comprehensive summary of the trends and evolution of biblical analysis. Typical categories treat of Christology; the Church; the Jewish people; Bible interpretation; etc.; all systematically organized in this single volume. These and other documents are indispensable resources for students of theology and history. A long and remarkable introduction presents the historical context of the documents.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Must ReadBy Joseph W ParkerEven as a well-educated Infantry Officer; I had never heard of Outpost Harry. In short; Outpost Harry was Pork Chop Hill times ten. This book is about the Korean War experiences of the author; culminating in the horrific experience in defending OP Harry for one night; and losing practically his entire company doing it. The amount of firepower directed at that hill by both sides was incredible: at times artillery rounds hitting every half second. Thousands of Chinese troops assaulting and dying. The carnage unbelievable. The courage of the men on both sides unbelievable. The book is not smoothly written; so don't look for a Pulitzer Prize. It is a good read; though. The content; however; is stunning and riveting; and begs the question: why have we forgotten the bravery of the men in this conflict? Every veteran should read this. If every American read it; they would better understand why veterans feel as they do; and Americans; no matter how deep their patriotism; would have an even deeper respect for their veterans.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great ReadBy TelecomguyA Morning in June is a great read. After a couple pages you learn the military acronyms and delve into military life during the Korean Conflict. James Evans stays away from dry recounting of events by inserting his own opinions and observations. The events of Outpost Harry were brutal and the reader truly gets an understanding of what kind of war this was. Highly recommend for military as well as history buffs.15 of 18 people found the following review helpful. I WAS THEREBy SWEEWILLYI WAS A LIEUTENANT OF ARTILLERY IN THE THIRD INFANTRY DIVISION IN KOREA AT THE TIME THAT THE BATTLE(S) FOR OUTPOST HARRY OCCURRED. I WAS IN CHARGE OF A GROUP OF M-39s (TRACKED PERSONNEL CARRIERS ON LIGHT TANK CHASSIS) WHICH PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR THE INFANTRY UNITS ON OUTPOST HARRY. I WENT TO THE OUTPOST SEVERAL TIMES DURING THESE DAYS IN JUNE; AND FROM MY VIEWTHE BOOK IS VERY ACCURATE AND REFLECTS THE CONDITIONS ON THAT SMALL HILL IN GREAT DETAIL. IT WAS A HORRENDOUS STRUGGLE FOR THOSE INFANTRY AND ENGINEER UNITS COMMITTED TO THE BATTLE; AND RESULTED IN EXTREMELY HIGH CASUALTY RATES ON BOTH SIDES. IT DEFINED MY COMBAT EXPERIENCE IN KOREA; AND IT IS OFTEN IN MY THOUGHTS THESE MANY YEARS LATER.
