Joseph had a younger brother named Gob that was an aspiring magician. Sort of an odd fellow. And his magic wasn't very good.

How does it compare to ...
... Quinn's "Mormonism and the Magic World View"? Maybe I ought to just crack open my copy that is just sitting on my shelf and read it. Time always seems to be of the essence these days for me, sadly.

27. Rodney Stark. Christianizing the Urban Empire: A New Approach to Early Church History. In preparation. 26. Victories of Reason: How Christianity, Freedom, and Capitalism Led to Western Success. New York: Random House. In Press. 25. The Rise of a New World Faith: Rodney Stark on Mormonism. Edited by Reid L. Neilson. University of Illinois Press. In Press.
Three nominations for the new book of the month. I guess the first is disqualified unless somebody can obtain an advanced copy. Number 25 might be worth the read.

Bushman's job is to tell the truth, as best he can. If he did that, then he shouldn't feel bad about anything.

If one tells the truth and undermines in the process something one finds valuable, I can understand why he might have some regrets.
