Act in the U.S. Senate was described as "a powerful and persuasive
analysis" and an "exhaustive survey, "which simply
cannot be ignored." Marshall is also the General Editor of

Persecution (2000), and author and editor of nineteen other
books and booklets, including The Talibanization of Nigeria

Call
for Papers, Conference Schedule
I am
inviting all Pew people past and present to participate this year
by either giving a paper or just attending the sessions and associated
activities. I am going to present a paper myself. Hopefully other
DBU faculty will as well. It will be a great time of intellectual
and spiritual stimulation and it will afford a great opportunity
to renew old friendships from days gone by. God has blessed us with
a great community these past six years, and it would be a blessing
to have a Pew reunion of sorts at this last conference.
In
addition to our keynote speaker Paul Marshall, we will also be attending
a concert featuring singer/song writer Kate Campbell at Uncle Calvin's
Coffee House, an acoustic guitar venue at North Park Presbyterian
on Friday night, April 4 (see http://www.unclecalvins.org/).
Kate Campbell, whom the Pew College Society brought to DBU for a
concert last October, is a most remarkable lyracist and vocalist,
with soul-stirring songs that largely focus on southern culture
and themes of faith, race, land, and other truly human things. Pew
will pay for your ticket to the concert! For more on Kate, go to
