  • POSTREVOLUTIONARY PERU
    STEPHEN M. GORMAN
    Whether the nearly twelve years of military rule in Peru--between October 1968 and July 1980--are labelled a revolution, œso-called revolution, or simply a ‘military dictatorship’, one fact remains inescapable: the reforms and programs of the armed forces during that period profoundly altered Peruvian society.

  • ABIDE AND GO
    MICHAEL J. GORMAN
    The Gospel of John would seem to be both the "spiritual Gospel" and a Gospel that promotes Christian mission. Some interpreters, however, have found John to be the product of a sectarian community that promotes a very narrow view of Christian mission and advocates neither love of neighbor nor love of enemy. In this book for both the academy and the church, Michael Gorman argues...

  • JUNIOR AND YOUTH GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL CULTURE
    JIMMY O'GORMAN
