Political Evil
Author: Alan Wolfe
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307473015
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A timely, eye-opening examination of political evil, a concept widely misunderstood and desperately in need of clarification in our ever more chaotic world. In an age of genocide, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and torture, evil threatens us in ways radically different from tsunamis and financial panics. Nature unleashes its wrath and people rush to help the victims. Evil shows its face and we are paralyzed over how to respond. It was not always this way. During the twentieth century, thinkers as diverse as Hannah Arendt, Reinhold Niebuhr, Arthur Koestler, and George Orwell made evil central to everything they wrote. Acclaimed political scientist Alan Wolfe argues that in an age of partisan blame-assigning, therapeutic excuse-making, and theological question-dodging, we need to get serious about the problem of evil once again. While there will always be something incomprehensible about evil, we are very much capable of understanding and combating the use of evil means to obtain political ends. Looking at examples of political evil around the globe—in the Middle East, Darfur, the Balkans, and at home in the West—Wolfe shows us how seemingly small distinctions can make an immense difference in international response. And he makes clear that much-needed change can be initiated with a shift in how we talk and think about political evil. At once impassioned and pragmatic, Political Evil sheds essential light on the creation of policy and on a concrete path to a more practicable and just future.

Deliver Us From Evil

Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1638742537
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Deliver Us from Evil: A Prayer for Our Times is a book written for the volatile evil times in which we live and what primarily the Christian church needs to know and do about it. Its purpose is to move beyond the performance stage to view the backstage, to look behind at the often unrecognized spiritual and evil infrastructure that constantly influence and corrupt what we see on the world’s popular stage. It explains why truth on every level is under attacked. It exposed the satanic strategy of lies, camouflage, hidden agendas, hidden spiritual wars that contribute to evil in the world. It reveals the many ways in which the Christian church is being dragged into wars God did not call us to fight, while neglecting the one he called us to fight. It reveals why the evangelical church is so deadly silent about God’s good news to our world while evil news is always viral in our times. Most of all, this book lays out how we must fight our battles. It reveals the detailed biblical battle plan God gave his followers to follow, to fight, and to win. It shows the path back to the real spiritual war against evil God called his people to engage. It delivers the often hidden foundational reason and purpose for Christ’s prophetic prayer to his followers. This book shows Jesus’s prayer was meant particularly for our times and dispensation just before he returns to finally and ultimately “deliver us from evil.” It is one of the most important Christian books for survival for the Christian church’s effective witness in our times.

Book Description
Dark Lake was old and deep. And the locals knew it was trouble. But that didn't stop the new city being built. Then people started disappearing... Who or what was the secret of Dark Lake? This hi-lo series contains intriguing and stimulating content for reluctant readers aged 12-14 with a lower reading age of 7.5-8. Aptly named Dark Flight, this set of ten short novels contain such chilling topics as soul-sucking monsters, a deadly burger bar, a girl with a stone cold stare, a ghost spaceship and a terrifying game that feels all too real. We hope that the gripping nature of these stories will allow readers - however reluctant - to achieve that sense of satisfaction and confidence that comes from finishing a book.

Live Evil: Of Magic and Men
Author: Sophia Vivienne Kottmayer
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1848880723
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2011. Magic and the Supernatural have become de rigeur in popular culture to an extent that it is well-nigh inconceivable to imagine our quotidian lives without them. It is most probably the notion of danger and prohibition that incites our curiosity for these conceptions: they can be used for the Good, but out of control they trigger Evil. Oftentimes it is claimed that something is only magical until it can be explained in rational terms and that therefore we remain in a state of childish ignorance if believing in it. We are made to think that it is more conducive to focus on what happens in the here and now than to worry about the afterlife. From a perfectly logical point of view, though, this must be a misconception, for there is no such thing as purity. Consequently, rationality cannot exist by itself. And after all, do stark facts not mar the pleasure of the marvellous? This collection of academic papers seeks to analyse how over centuries mankind has cast supernatural experiences into narrative, into archetypal stories which account for a specific culture’s heritage, all the while trying to conserve the marvel emerging from the inexplicable.
