Excerpt: Charles Thomas Beaird of Shreveport, Louisiana, was an industrialist, investor, newspaper publisher, philanthropist, philosopher, college professor, world traveler, and civic leader. He was a self-identified "liberal Republican" politician and a champion of civil rights. Born in Shreveport to James Benjamin Beaird and Mattie Connell Fort Beaird. His mother died six weeks after his birth, and his father died when he was sixteen. According to his obituary, Beaird had to grow up quickly but developed a fierce intellectual independence. On February 5, 1943, he was commissioned into the United States Marine Corps in Corpus Christi, Texas. He married Carolyn in Shreveport the next day and reported for duty in Fort Worth, on February, 8. He served first as a pilot instructor and then led a fighting squadron assigned to the recapture and holding of the Philippine Islands flying, among other planes, B-25s and the OS 2U torpedo bomber. By the end of the war, he had attained the rank of captain and had earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Decorated Air Medal. In 1946, Beaird returned to Shreveport, where he became vice president of the J. B. Beaird Company, which his father had begun as a welding service in 1918. During the war, the company had grown to be a major manufacturer of metal products, with Charles Beaird's older brother, J. Pat Beaird, Sr., as president. Charles Beaird had worked there as a youth sweeping floors, so he knew the business literally from the ground up, a process that he would duplicate in his future enterprises.

Product Description
Sweeping in scope and alive with fascinating information, The Bible Through the Ages presents an unparalleled look at the Bible, the most influential work in human history. You'll get fresh insights into: the story of Abraham and how he came to worship one God; the development of writing that offered an exciting new way of preserving biblical tradition; the conquests of David and the building of Solomon's Temple and how these events spurred biblical writing; the four Gospels and the men who wrote them; and the spread of the Gospel from the end of the first century to the end of the second millennium. Drawing on the latest scholarly research and archeological finds, The Bible Through the Ages sheds light on the editorial decisions that shaped the Bible and the controversies that often surrounded them. It discusses the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls and what they teach us about the text of the Bible. In these pages, you'll discover how the words of the Bible were preserved - from early Hebrew texts of the Old Testament to the translations of the New Testament from Greek into Latin and the vernacular languages of Europe. The people who spread the Word are here, too: ancient scholars who collected letters, histories, songs, and poems into a single volume of sacred writings; monks who painstakingly copied the texts during the Middle Ages; and the fearless missionaries who carried the Bible and its message to remote corners of the earth. Photographs, maps, and reconstructions of ancient sites transport you back in time and place. Magnificent illuminations from medieval manuscripts, finely sewn tapestries, and master works of art demonstrate the impact of the Bible on the creative imagination throughout the centuries. ...
