Book Description
If God is all powerful and entirely good and loving, why is there so much evil in the world? Based on a close canonical reading of Scripture, this book offers a new approach to the challenge of reconciling the Christian confession of a loving God with the realities of suffering and evil. John Peckham offers a constructive proposal for a theodicy of love that upholds both the sovereignty of God and human freedom, showing that Scripture points toward a framework for thinking about God's love in relation to the world.

After Evil
Author: Robert Meister
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231150377
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
The way in which mainstream human rights discourse speaks of such evils as the Holocaust, slavery, or apartheid puts them solidly in the past. Its elaborate techniques of "transitional" justice encourage future generations to move forward by creating a false assumption of closure, enabling those who are guilty to elude responsibility. This approach to history, common to late-twentieth-century humanitarianism, doesn't presuppose that evil ends when justice begins. Rather, it assumes that a time before justice is the moment to put evil in the past. Merging examples from literature and history, Robert Meister confronts the problem of closure and the resolution of historical injustice. He boldly challenges the empty moral logic of "never again" or the theoretical reduction of evil to a cycle of violence and counterviolence, broken only once evil is remembered for what it was. Meister criticizes such methods for their deferral of justice and susceptibility to exploitation and elaborates the flawed moral logic of "never again" in relation to Auschwitz and its evolution into a twenty-first-century doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect.

The Council Sect governs the Vatican

ISBN:
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The decline of the Catholic Church is visible everywhere. We cannot just stand there and do nothing. With the II Vaticanum the crash was initiated. Under the title: "The Council Sect in the Vatican" Hubertus Huber unsparingly describes, on 100 pages, the course of this decay. Here is a short summary:With the French Revolution, the enemies of the Church / God appeared bluntly and openly. The freemasons declared 1859 in "Alte Vendita":"Our goal is that of Voltaire, the complete destruction of Catholicism and even Christian doctrine".1910 Rudolf Steiner: "We need a council and someone to proclaim it.24.6.1917 in Rome: "Satan must reign in the Vatican, the Pope must be his slave".1962 33 Orders of the Grand Master to the Masonic Bishops were released, described in this book. These are historical facts and not conspiracy theories. With the Second Vatican Council and the Masonic Pope, John XXIII, the house on the Rock of Peter started to crumble. The disaster of Catholicism is visible to everyone. The decline of faith did not begin with the faithful. The divinity of Jesus was denied by Prof. Joseph Ratzinger: "God did not become man, but a man became God". It is incomprehensible why the right-believing clergy and the faithful, in the face of this open declaration of war of hell, did nothing. Both were in sleep mode. How deep must one sleep and fall to receive the Lord in the sacrament with the "paw" (standing, of course)?

Something Beautiful Happened
Author: Yvette Manessis Corporon
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501161113
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother's stories about how the people of the small Greek island Erikousa hid a Jewish family -- a tailor named Savvas and his daughters -- from the Nazis during World War II. Nearly 2,000 Jews from that area died in the concentration camps, but even though everyone on Erikousa knew Savvas and his family were hiding on the island, no one ever gave them up, and the family survived the war. Years later, Yvette couldn't get the story of the Jewish tailor out of her head. She decided to track down the man's descendants -- and eventually found them in Israel. Their tearful reunion was proof to her that evil doesn't always win. But just days after she made the connection, her cousin's child was gunned down in a parking lot in Kansas, a victim of a Neo-Nazi out to inflict as much harm as he could. Despite her best hopes, she was forced to confront the fact that seventy years after the Nazis were defeated, it was still happening today. As Yvette and her family wrestled with the tragedy in their own lives, the lessons she learned from the survivors of the Holocaust helped her confront and make sense of the present.
