Floyd County, Indiana, and its county seat, New Albany, are located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville was a major slave-trade center, and Indiana was a free state. Many slaves fled to Floyd County via the Underground Railroad, but their fight for freedom did not end once they reached Indiana. Sufficient information on slaves coming to and through this important area may be found in court records, newspaper stories, oral history accounts, and other materials that a full and fascinating history is possible, one detailing the struggles that runaway slaves faced in Floyd County, such as local, state, and federal laws working together to keep them from advancing socially, politically, and economically. This work also discusses the attitudes, people, and places that help in explaining the successes and heartaches of escaping slaves in Floyd County. Included are a number of freedom and manumission papers, which provided court certification of the freedom of former slaves.

Gain insight into the specifics of Lutheran preaching. As Christians gather for worship in a church service, they get more than just a sermon. The sermon is placed within the liturgical context of Scripture readings, hymns, prayers, confession, and other elements of worship. In this book, 12 authors examine ways the sermon relates to the liturgy, the church year, the lectionary, the sacraments, Law and Gospel, hymnody, cultural issues, and more. Liturgical Preaching provides pastors and interested laypeople with a valuable tool to better understand the many aspects of preaching within a Lutheran worship context.
