On religious liberty : selections from the works of Roger Williams
Banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his refusal to conform to Puritan religious and social standards, Roger Williams established a haven in Rhode Island for those persecuted in the name of the religious establishment. He conducted a lifelong debate over religious freedom with distinguished figures of the seventeenth century, including Puritan minister John Cotton, Massachusetts governor John Endicott, and the English Parliament. James Calvin Davis gathers together important selections from Williams's public and private writings on religious liberty, illustrating how this renegade Puritan radically reinterpreted Christian moral theology and the events of his day in a powerful argument for freedom of conscience and the separation of church and state. For Williams, the enforcement of religious uniformity violated the basic values of Calvinist Christianity and presumed upon God's authority to speak to the individual conscience. He argued that state coercion was rarely effective, often causing more harm to the church and strife to the social order than did religious pluralism. This is the first collection of Williams's writings in forty years reaching beyond his major work, The Bloody Tenent, to include other selections from his public and private writings. This carefully annotated book introduces Williams to a new generation of readers.

St. Eom in the land of Pasaquan : the life and times and art of Eddie Owens Martin
Self-taught Georgia artist Eddie Owens Martin (1908-86), known as St. EOM, created a visionary art site called Pasaquan in the mid-1950s in Marion County, Georgia. Covering seven acres, this evocative and fanciful site has captured the imaginations of thousands of visitors. Pasaquan includes six buildings connected by concrete walls, all of which are adorned with the artist's vibrant, psychedelic folk art of bold, transfixing patterns, spiritual and tribal imagery, and exuberant depictions of nature. According to St. EOM, his art arose from a vision he experienced in his mid-twenties, while suffering from a high fever. The first of many visionary experiences, it featured a godlike being who offered to be Martin's spiritual guide. Subsequent visions inspired him to begin making art and, eventually, to create a spiritual compound dedicated to a peaceful future for humankind. St. EOM enlarged his house to twice its original size by adding a long rear section covered inside and out with his rainbow-hued murals, mandalas, and relief sculptures. On the grounds he built a series of structures including a circular dance platform, some small temples, several totems, and a two-story pagoda, all in his wildly ornamental style. He also created more than two thousand freestanding pieces, including paintings, sculptures, and drawings. In the thirty years since St. EOM's death, the Pasaquan Preservation Society worked to preserve the compound, which had fallen into neglect. In 2014 the Kohler Foundation and Columbus State University partnered with the society to restore the visionary art site for future generations. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Boundaries of Humanity
To the age-old debate over what it means to be human, the
relatively new fields of sociobiology and artificial intelligence
bring new, if not necessarily compatible, insights. What have these
two fields in common? Have they affected the way we define
humanity? These and other timely questions are addressed with
colorful individuality by the authors of The Boundaries of
Humanity . Leading researchers in both sociobiology and
artificial intelligence combine their reflections with those of
philosophers, historians, and social scientists, while the editors
explore the historical and contemporary contexts of the debate in
their introductions. The implications of their individual
arguments, and the often heated controversies generated by
biological determinism or by mechanical models of mind, go to the
heart of contemporary scientific, philosophical, and humanistic
studies. Contributors : Arnold I. Davidson, John
Dupré, Roger Hahn, Stuart Hampshire, Evelyn Fox Keller, Melvin
Konner, Alan Newell, Harriet Ritvo, James J. Sheehan, Morton Sosna,
Sherry Turkle, Bernard Williams, Terry Winograd This title is part
of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University
of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the
