Faith In Heritage

Using the example of China’s Wutai Shan—recently designated both a UNESCO World Heritage site and a national park—Robert J. Shepherd analyzes Chinese applications of western notions of heritage management within a non-western framework. What does the concept of world heritage mean for a site practically unheard of outside of China, visited almost exclusively by Buddhist religious pilgrims? What does heritage preservation mean for a site whose intrinsic value isn’t in its historic buildings or cultural significance, but for its sacredness within the Buddhist faith? How does a society navigate these issues, particularly one where open religious expression has only recently become acceptable? These questions and more are explored in this book, perfect for students and practitioners of heritage management looking for a new perspective.

Faith and Heritage (active 2011-2019) was an online consortium of Traditionalist Protestant Christian writers who sought to provide a forum for like-minded Christians who, as they say, "have not acquiesced to the contemporary idols of Cultural Marxism, multiculturalism, equality, and the heretical social gospel." The website was instrumental in influencing and encouraging debate - theological, cultural, and otherwise - within Protestant denominations. Faith and Heritage actively evangelized to those who had been alienated by the antinationalism of Church leaders and encouraged young Whites to return to the faith of their fathers. Widely read and influential during its heyday, Faith and Heritage became purely archival from January 2019 onward. Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to permanently preserve the words of Faith and Heritage in print with this curated selection of articles and essays. With a foreword by Myles Poland, this selection contains articles by Davis Carlton, Nil Desperandum, Adam Grey, Thorin Reynolds, Gic Serry, and Ehud Would.

"A timely and groundbreaking take on the roots of the Christian church and its place in the entirety of God's kingdom. . . . There is no better time than now to learn about and become firmly grounded within your spiritual heritage." —from the foreword by Perry Stone The early church was made up of Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus, and the church's culture was rooted in Judaism and a Jewish understanding of God's relationship to His people. Over time, however, Christianity became increasingly more Roman than Jewish, and the church lost its identity. Rabbi Curt Landry's personal story is remarkably similar. Born to a Jewish mother and a Catholic father, Landry was put up for adoption, and for more than thirty years he had no understanding of his heritage, his roots, or who his parents were. But when he discovered the truth of his story, his life changed completely. The key to a life of power and purpose is understanding who you are. In this revelatory book, Curt Landry helps Christians discover their roots in Judaism, empowering them to walk in the revelation of who they really are and who they are born to be. Reclaiming Our Forgotten Heritage reveals the mysteries of the church, letting Christians grasp the power that comes from connecting with their true identity.

Dissident Dispatches contains theological essays which outline a Christian ethno-theology consistent with the politics of the Alt-Right. It also serves as a memoir of the author's recent experience as a retired academic and racially conscious WASP studying theology in the hostile environment of a suburban divinity school in Sydney, Australia.
