An Angel Directs the Storm: Apocalyptic Religion and American Empire
ISBN: 9780334041160 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few people in the UK really understand what it is that drives the US Administration and the Bush Presidency. Michael Northcott is one of those, and his expose of the evangelical fundamentalism and neo-conservative ideology that underpins the Republican Party today is masterly - and deeply disturbing. "An Angel Directs the Storm" is an outstanding piece of scholarly insightful polemic from which we all have a lot to learn." Jonathan Porritt "I would hope that this book will be read widely in both Great Britain and America. It shows with skill and perspicuity that the nature of the US reaction...

Man Is Not Alone: A Philosophy of Religion
ISBN: 9780374513283 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Man Is Not Alone is a profound, beautifully written examination of the ingredients of piety: how man senses God's presence, explores it, accepts it, and builds life upon it. Abraham Joshua Heschel's philosophy of religion is not a philosophy of doctrine or the interpretation of a dogma. He erects his carefully built structure of thought upon foundations which are universally valid but almost generally ignored. It was Man Is Not Alone which led Reinhold Niebuhr accurately to predict that Heschel would "become a commanding and authoritative voice not only in the Jewish...

Religion and the Rise of Democracy
ISBN: 9780415026031 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a major original study, Graham Maddox analyses the role of religion in the development of democracy from the tribes of ancient Israel to the present day. The book contrasts Athenian direct democracy with the Old Testament monarchy in which the concept of religious opposition - vital to modern democracy - arose. Maddox then develops his discussion of the relationship between religion and democracy through early christianity to the Reformation and Calvinism, ending with a chapter on modern democracy. Maddox's contentious thesis concerning the development of democracy is truly...

The Face of the Deep : A Theology of Becoming
ISBN: 9780415256483 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This complete theology reclaims creation from the watery chaos - creatio ex profundis - both as an alternative to the orthodox power-discourse of creation from nothing, and as a figure of the bottomless process of becoming. The dogma of an original creation from absolute nothingness dominates Western religious discourse as well as modern common sense. The creatio ex nihilo reflects the unquestionable presupposition of faith in an omnipotent Creator and Lord, and so in the pure and simple origin of our complicated world. The process of creativity in matters natural, social and textual is thus...

The Face of the Deep: A Theology of Becoming
ISBN: 9780415256490 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a groundbreaking, highly original work of postmodern feminist theology from one of the most important authors in the field. The Face of the Deep deconstructs the Christian doctrine of creation which claims that a transcendent Lord unilaterally created the universe out of nothing. Catherine Keller's impassioned, graceful meditation develops an alternative representation of the cosmic creative process, drawing upon Hebrew myths of creation, from chaos, and engaging with the political and the mystical, the literary and the scientific, the sexual and the racial.

ISBN: 9780415290326 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The pursuit of death and the love of death has characterized Western culture from Homeric times through centuries of Christianity, taking particular deadly shapes in Western postmodernity. This necrophilia shows itself in destruction and violence, in a focus on other worlds and degradation of this one, and in hatred of the body, sense and sexuality. In her major new book project Death and the Displacement of Beauty, Grace M.

There are those who go to gay bars and salsa clubs with rosaries in their pockets, and who make camp chapels of their living rooms. Others enter churches with love letters hidden in their bags, because their need for God and their need for love refuse to fit into different compartments.

The Early History of Greed: The Sin of Avarice in Early Medieval Thought and Literature
ISBN: 9780521385220 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this full-length study of the early history of greed Richard Newhauser challenges the traditional view that avarice only became a dominant sin with the rise of a money economy. He shows that avaritia, the sin of greed for possessions, was dominant in a wide range of theological and literary texts from the first century CE, and that by the early Middle Ages avarice headed the list of vices for authors aiming to convert others from pagan materialism to Christian spirituality.

The changing situation in South Africa and Eastern Europe prompts Charles Villa-Vicencio to investigate the implications of transforming liberation theology into a theology of reconstruction and nation-building. Such a transformation, he argues, requires theology to become an unambiguously interdisciplinary study. This book explores the encounter between theology, on the one hand, and constitutional writing, law-making, human rights, economics, and the freedom of conscience on the other. Placing his discussion in the context of the South African struggle, the author compares this situation to...
