The shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson; Missouri; reignited a long-smoldering movement for justice; with many St. Louis-area clergy stepping up to support the emerging young leaders of today's Civil Rights Movement. Seminary professor Leah Gunning Francis was among the activists; and her interviews with more than two dozen faith leaders and with the new movement's organizers take us behind the scenes of the continuing protests. Ferguson and Faith demonstrates that being called to lead a faithful life can take us to places we never expected to go; with people who never expected us to join hands with them.Ferguson and Faith is the first book from the partnership of the Forum for Theological Exploration (FTE) and Chalice Press.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The MartyrBy Lisa MA fascinating read if you are a historian or searching for knowledge of the Spanish Inquisition in Mexico. Many facts and about the life of the secret Jews in Mexico . How they lived ; how they prayed what was their greatest fear --besides being caught by the Inquisition. Martin Cohen researched the Inquisitional archives in Mexico and painstakingly categorized each trial related to the Carvajal family and the tragic results. A must read for any historian of the Inquisition.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Fascinating book; highly recommendedBy David G. RobboyThe archives of the inquisition have been preserved in Mexico; including detailed testimony recounting actual conversations. The book reads like a novel but it's history. Cohen must have been truly obsessed in order to do the research and write such a book. It's a compelling read.
