Paperback. Condition: Good. Washington Duke is very young when he first realizes there is racial discrimination in the South. Living outside of Hillsboro, North Carolina, in the mid-1820s, he is one of ten children in a family that shares the wilderness with bears, rattlesnakes, and mountain lions. Washington learns about the world around him from his scholarly father, nurtures a compassion for others, and eventually grows into a man deeply troubled by the institution of slavery. Unaware of what awaits him, Washington is conscripted into the Confederate Army and reluctantly leaves his three-hundred-acre farm in 1864 to fight in the war. When the Civil War is over, Washington is left widowed, with nothing but his farm, two blind mules, a wagon load of tobacco, and his four children. Determined to rise from the rubble, Washington soon begins building the foundation for the Duke financial empire-although not without challenges. As Washington ages, his sons eventually capture his dream to establish Duke University. Even with the family's successes, though, there is tragedy and heartache; Washington's granddaughter, Doris, dies under suspicious circumstances in 1993 and her estate becomes embroiled in a legal battle. Based on a true story, this compelling and inspirational tale examines the life of a gentle giant and his descendants who together built a multibillion-dollar empire, numerous charitable foundations, and a renowned academic institution, proving that anyone can overcome adversity to achieve greatness. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. In The Setting of the Sermon on the Mount, first published by the Cambridge University Press in 1964 and issued as a paperback in 1976, Professor Davies made a new approach to the Sermon, placing it in its historical setting within the context of the world from which it originated. This shorter book sets out the main lines of his argument in a more accessible form so as to interest the widest possible readership. The Sermon has been described both as a pernicious document, and as the finest statement of the highest morality ever produced. Professor Davies examines it in five settings. First he considers how Matthew himself intended the Sermon to be understood, placing it in its setting within the Gospel as a whole and showing that Matthew presented Jesus as a second Moses and lawgiver. He then considers it in the setting of Jewish Messianic expectation and the contemporary Judaism, where he shows that there were certain forces at work which led to the presentation of Jesus in this light. He discusses whether this concept was an innovation or whether forces in the early church prepared the way for this interpretation, and finally he debates whether Matthew was departing from the mind of Jesus himself. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.…

Hard Cover. Condition: VG to Fine. VG to Fine. 383 pages. This book appears to be partly a history of the Duke family beginning with the author's ancestor Washington Duke, who was heartbroken about the institution of slavery in his beloved state of North Carolina (and who heroically aided the underground railroad), was cruelly drafted into the Confederate Army against his will, was financially devastated by the impact of the Civil War on his life and business, and eventually started a tobacco business that morphed into the fabuously wealthy Duke Tobacco Company. Indeed, Washington Duke was a regular Horatio Alger story. The second part of the book is about the controversy surrounding the suspicious death of his aunt Doris Duke. The author is a lawyer who is very proud of his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan and his Juris Doctor from Washington University School of Law, as well as the fourth-degree black belt conferred on him by the World Tae Kwon Do Federation in Seoul Korea. He is also well known in legal circles as an author of five books and dozens of articles, mostly about the law. Thanks in part to the heroic efforts of his ancestor Washington Duke, the institution of slavery was ended in America more than 150 years ago. Only eternal vigilance will prevent this evil institution from reappearing in our nation. Human Slavery and Wealth.…
