Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development.

Throughout the history of the church there have been a variety of views concerning the role of women in public ministry. Some contend that in light of Paul’s words in Galatians and Ephesians along with examples in the New Testament narrative it is clear women should be allowed participation in any ministry open to men. On the other hand, there are those who argue the obvious words of Scripture, especially in 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2, prohibit women from a public teaching ministry of a mixed assembly (both men and women). Moreover, there is the insistence that the public teaching ...

Arguing that the slave trade was at the heart of Britain's economic progress, Eric Williams' landmark 1944 study revealed the connections between capitalism and racism and has influenced generations of historians ever since. Williams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade through the 18th and 19th centuries to show how it laid the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose as a means of rationalising an economic decision.

It has been said the Roman Empire was used by God in the spread of the Gospel; the well maintained roads, safe passage by sea, relative peace and order.

According to Webster's dictionary a crisis is a “decisive moment or an unstable or crucial time or state of affairs” in history. It is fashionable to suggest the early 21st century is a time of crisis. We are told by our leadership that crisis is at every hand. Indeed, when crisis does not materialize as quickly or as violently as one might expect it seems civil leadership is not adverse to creating “crisis.” However, we are in the midst of crisis. The situation we face today is not economic, environmental, political or sociological. Instead, it is a crisis of leadership at the most...

Nowadays many Christians believe the rule and reign of Jesus is limited to “spiritual” matters of a personal sort. The kingdom most Christians are willing to embrace is something that does not threaten their personal peace and comfort. After all, isn’t the Christian life all about me? Absolutely not. Jesus said all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to him. He didn’t say all authority in heaven and earth would be given to him at a later date. Jesus was declared the Son with power at his resurrection and his ascension was to a position of ruling authority. Truly, nations...
