|  | Before the Storm by Rick Perlstein
This study of Senator Barry Goldwater examines his defeat in 1964 and reads it as the beginning of the new conservative movement that was to eventually achieve its goals with the election of Ronald Reagan. Perlstein argues that Goldwater's stance on government's role in American life and his articulation of key issues established an agenda that influenced--and was even adopted by--both Republicans and Democrats. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001. AUTHOR: Rick Perlstein

 | The Scripture Way of Salvation by Kenneth J. Collins
Taking its title from one of John Wesley`s most important sermons, The Scripture Way of Salvation explores the soteriological content of Wesley`s entire literary corpus (sermons, letters, theological treatises, journals, and the notes on the Old and New Testaments). Fundamentally a doctrinal study, it is historically sensitive to the subtle shifts and nuances of Wesley`s continuing reflections about the processes of salvation and the nature of Christian life. Collins provides a clear discussion of Wesley`s emerging views about the development and maturation of Christian life, and in so doing highlights the essential structure that undergirds and provides the framework for Wesley`s way of thinking about the processes of salvation.
