Assistant District Attorney Alexander James Thompson had been on a high after successfully prosecuting members of the San Francisco Russian mob for promising riches to imported young Russian girls then turning them into unwilling prostitutes. Now he was sailing on the maiden voyage of the RMS Queen of the Clyde. It was a beautiful ship that was rebuilt and refurbished in the style and design of the original RMS Titanic. He was basically forced to take this 1912-Titanic-like cruise by his boss, District Attorney Donald Campbell. Apparently, the Russian mob was unhappy with his successful efforts. They were now threatening his life. The order from his boss was Take time off or you are fired. He wanted no harm to come to his top prosecutor. He needed to get Alexander Thompson out of town for a while. But it appears he is now in more danger on this ship than at home in San Francisco. He is suspected by the ships captain and ships security of being responsible for all the deadly deeds that were regularly occurring on this magnificent ship. He was in one helluva mess on this maiden voyage of the RMS Queen of the Clyde.

The public university classroom is a place where socialization still occurs: it's where students learn to be citizens of the world. Having attended to political correctness and multi-culturalism, universities are now facing the issue of spirituality in their quest to educate the whole person. In this book, Chris Anderson takes up this task by carefully exploring how a professor of faith can help a public university accomplish its pluralistic mission. Anderson illustrates how the study of secular literature throws fresh light on the ways in which the Bible can be read. He also deftly shows how a sympathetic study of the Bible trains secular readers for understanding the abiding significance of the Western literary canon as a kind of scripture. Anderson thus gives readers a book that is as much about the experience of a faithful teacher and the proper ends of education as it is about discovering the right ways to read texts--be they sacred or secular.
