The Watchtower movement has over ten million followers and remains one of the fastest growing religious movements in the world today. Since the movement actively proselytizes throughout the world, many people are aware of Jehovah's Witnesses, but readers may not be aware that the movement has profoundly influenced the constitutional law of many countries, including America and Canada.
This volume contains almost 10,000 references on the Watchtower movement and the dozen or so major schisms that have occurred since its founding in 1879. An introductory chapter reviews the history, major events, and doctrinal changes of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Books, book chapters, booklets, dissertations, journal articles, and book sections that examine the Watchtower movement are referenced in English and other langauges such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Turkish. Selectively annotated, the entries are grouped in five major sections for easy reference. Scholars and researchers will appreciate the comprehensive list the author has provided of all literature published by the Watchtower movement throughout its history.

The criterion: Religious discrimination in America

Onesimus Pub

Volume 1 of a trilogy, the disturbing premise of this book documents widespread discrimination by Darwin loyalists against Darwin skeptics in academia and within the scientific community. Multiple case studies expose the tactics used to destroy the careers of Darwin skeptics, denying them earned degrees and awards, tenure, and other career benefits offered to non-skeptics. The book exposes how freedom of speech and freedom of expression are widely promoted as not applicable to Darwin doubters, and reveals the depth and extent of hostility and bigotry exhibited towards those who would dare to question Darwinism. The book also shows how even the slightest hint of sympathy for Darwin Doubters often results in a vigorous and rabid response from those who believe such sumpathies represent an attack on science itself.

Slaughter of the Dissidents (1)

In this book, Dr. Jerry Bergman presents vignettes of over 50 individuals who started out in life believing that a Creator was responsible for life on Earth. But most of them changed their mind at some point after encountering what they believed to be irrefutable evidence for Darwinian evolution. Many of these individuals then went on to become ambassadors for the evolutionary worldview, and have influenced millions of others to accept that view as well. But is evolution actually as compelling as they believe it is? The comprehensive appendices at the back of this book provide references to many powerful video presentations and other materials showcasing competent scientists and philosophers of science who argue that evolution falls short of it's claims, and they present convincing evidence for a designed universe. The biggest takeaway from this book is the importance of providing compelling reasons to doubt the evolutionary perspective using good science and presenting it to those who at some point wrestle with this issue. Anyone who is willing to consider the possibility that life was created will find ample material in this book to put evolutionary arguments into the graveyard of failed scientific propositions where they belong.

DARWINISM IS THE DOORWAY TO ATHEISM: Why Creationists Become Evolutionists

Professionals & Academics

This book answers the question, "Is it reasonable to be a scientist and adhere to the notion that life was created?" The chapters in this volume present scientists and other influential people who are creationists, Intelligent Design advocates or Darwin Skeptics. Readers are provided with numerous examples and evidence for a designed universe, but perhaps one of the most important questions it addresses is whether someone who holds to a designed universe can function effectively as a science professional. Based on the clear evidence presented in this book, the answer to this question is a resounding "Yes!"

C. S. Lewis: Anti-Darwinist: A Careful Examination of the Development of His Views on Darwinism

It is commonly believed that C.S. Lewis was a theistic evolutionist, a conclusion based on a few statements that he made in The Problem of Pain and Mere Christianity. A careful study of his writings reveals, not only that for most of his life he was not a theistic evolutionist, but strongly opposed Darwinism, especially towards the end of his life.

A careful study of his writings reveals, not only that for most of his life he was not a theistic evolutionist, but strongly opposed Darwinism, especially towards the end of his life. ""This is absolutely first rate, the best thing I've read on the subject. . . . Bergman's research touches on every major issue related to Lewis and Darwinism. . . . I am very, very impressed by this work. Bergman has done something very important and timely, and I hope that this book will be read by many persons."" --Louis A. Markos, PhD, Professor; C. S. Lewis scholar; Author of four books on Lewis ""Dr. Bergman, in his inimitable style, has surfaced otherwise suppressed or not-easily-attainable historical information regarding C. S. Lewis's personal stance on creation versus evolution. . . . This new book . . . will help you understand how the great writer and theologian, C. S. Lewis, eventually came to his terms with 'hanging his hat' on the truth that we are all accountable to a Divine Creator."" --Bryce Gaudian, Development Manager, Agilis Corporation, Hayward, Minnesota ""What a happy surprise this book is! I was delighted to learn that C. S. Lewis rejected Darwinism in all its forms . . . Dr. Bergman has done a masterful (and highly entertaining) job of documenting Lewis's unfolding thoughts on the subject and proving that he was indeed an increasingly belligerent opponent of evolution theory."" --Kitty Foth-Regner, Author of Heaven Without Her: A Desperate Daughter's Search for the Heart of Her Mother's Faith Dr. Bergman teaches biology, chemistry, and anatomy at Northwest State College in Archbold, Ohio, and is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Toledo Medical College. He has nine earned degrees, including five graduate degrees and a PhD from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. His many books include a monograph on the creation-evolution controversy published by Phi Delta Kappa, a college textbook (Houghton Mifflin Co.), and he has been published by Columbia and Syracuse University Press.

As the Supreme Allied Commander in the fight against the Nazis, General Dwight Eisenhower was one of the most important leaders of the last century. His position as a five-star general was crucial in achieving a positive outcome in World War II. Today, he is considered one of the most respected US presidents, but the critical role that his religious beliefs played in his life and work is widely ignored. As one historian wrote, Eisenhower was the most religious president in the twentieth century. He was critical in influencing the nation’s enlarged accommodation to faith, specifically the Christian faith. The central role Eisenhower’s faith played in his life, from growing up in Abilene, Kansas, to becoming the most powerful leader in the world, is thoroughly documented for the first time in this book. Indeed, Eisenhower’s belief in God made him who he was and allowed him to achieve the work that made him one of the most respected leaders of the free world. This book sets the record straight about common erroneous beliefs concerning President Eisenhower and his family. It is necessary to understand the forces that shaped him so we can put his life and many achievements into perspective.
