The Journal of Historical Review - cover

Volume Thirteen ∙ Number Two ∙ March/April 1993

Between 1980 and 2002, The Journal of Historical Review was published by the Institute for Historical Review.

CODOH mirrors the old papers that were published in that journal.

Not "Multicultural," But Accurate History In "The Challenge of Multiculturalism" (Summer 1992), Samuel [Jared] Taylor makes some interesting points, but he seems to be arguing for a history not necessarily in accord with the facts.

I have long had a consuming interest in religion as a social phenomenon, especially since writing my doctoral thesis on Milton’s theology in the 1920s. When leisure time became available to me in the 1950s, I plunged into a study of pre-Christian religions, of which I found there were several …

(Presented at the Eleventh IHR Conference, October 1992) When I decided last September to take a well-deserved vacation, I thought, what better destination than Europe.
