A few years before the book opens, mining tycoon and city boss Elihu Wilsson called in some thugs and goons to break a mining strike. The City is Personville, and people call it “Poisonville,” but not because they are speaking with an accent. I’ll give you three good reasons-from least to most-why you should read Red Harvest: 1) it made possible the fine Leone film A Fistful of Dollars, 2) it inspired the Kurosawa masterpiece Iojimbo which influenced A Fistful of Dollars, and 3) it is an old school hard boiled, hardcore novel, with a detective as tough as Spade, Marlowe and Hammer put together, written in hard-as-nails prose, and set in a small West Coast city, a city with a heart of stone. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Tailspin by john armbruster![]() It's a story of two men's separate journeys confronting trauma and loss.

All the while, atheists may be sitting back and assessing whatever the theist can come up with. Such critics assume that Christians and other theists have a special burden of proof to bear to show that God exists. Richard Dawkins, for example, writes “Scientific beliefs are supported by evidence, and they get results. Since the 9/11 attacks, this “enlightened” modern criterion for knowing has been reinforced by the “New Atheists”-Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and (the late) Christopher Hitchens. We have come to expect such challenges in an age of scientism-the belief that science, and thus “scientific proof”-can alone yield knowledge. ![]() Usually, when skeptics ask us Christians for “proof,” they are usually calling for “ scientific proof” for God’s existence, objective moral values, the soul, or life after death.
