A new manifesto for gaining democratic control of our workplaces.

This book brings to the fore the religious nature of the order, so long overshadowed by its glorious military tradition and, more recently, its global charitable activities. It focuses not on the monk-warrior but on the twenty-plus members of the order who have been canonized and beatified for their extraordinary lives of love, prayer, and dedication. The book offers the reader a series of brief biographies on some of the most diverse groups of saints to come from one religious order, from peasants to popes and everything in between. In applying historical analysis to the lives of these holy men and women, the author demonstrates that one need not hide behind hagiographic generalities or far-fetched stories to find examples of true virtue in the lives of these Hospitallers.

From martial arts programs at suburban churches to urban boxing ministries geared towards at-risk youth, this book examines the substantial history of church sponsored combat sports, and presents arguments by Christian ethicists about whether and how they are compatible with church teachings and settings.

Discusses the depiction of various issues facing the church of their times in programs such as "The Flying Nun (1967-1970)", "The Father Dowling Mysteries (1989-1990)", and "7th Heaven (1996-2007)". This book addresses the role of women in the church, clerics reconsidering their call, the sexuality of clerics, and the ecumenical movement.

In facing and trying to resolve contradictions and lapses within Marxism, this book confronts the basic incompatibilities among the versions of Marxian theory, and the fact that Marxism seemed cut off from the criticisms of determinist modes of thought offered by post-structuralism and post-modernism and even by some of Marxism's great theorists.
