While many historians have dealt with the Emancipation Proclamation as a phase or an aspect of the Civil War; few have given more than scant attention to the evolution of the document in the mind of Lincoln; the circumstances and conditions that led to its writing; its impact on the course of the war; and its significance for later generations. Professor John Hope Franklin's answer to this need; first published in 1963; is available again for the first time in many years. This edition includes a new preface; photo essay; and a reproduction of the 1863 handwritten draft of the Emancipation Proclamation; making it an ideal supplementary text for U.S. and African American survey courses as well as for more specialized courses on the Civil War and Reconstruction.

McGuckin goes to lengths to not only tell the story of Ephesus; and to a much lesser degree Chalcedon and the debacle that occurred there between Leo; Dioscorus; Theodoret; and Ibas...); he exprains; in the most intense detail possible; the theology of each party involved. I'd love if he were to write the same style of book on Chalcedon and Constantinople II.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. McGuckin a New HeroBy JordanJasperVirtually flawless in his grasp and assessment of Cyril's life and theological legacy; McGuckin is one of the most lucid scholars of Late Ancient Christianity on the landscape. Impeccable; extraordinary; seminal study.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Must Have ResourceBy presbyIn this work; McGuckin walks the reader through depths of the crises threatening Nicene orthodoxy; and expounds on Cyril's lasting influence on redemptive deification.
