Jesus for President : Kompromisslose Experimente in Sachen Politik (9783765514449)

"Die politische Fantasie von Christen hervorlocken" so beschreiben die Autoren das Ziel dieses Buches. Jenseits von Parteipolitik und Präsidentschaftswahlkämpfen malen Claiborne und Haw das Bild einer Kirche vor Augen, die es gelernt hat, nach anderen Spielregeln zu leben als denen, die die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Credos der Gesellschaft vorgeben. Jesus ruft seine Nachfolger auf, mitten in der Welt anders zu leben - als "Herausgerufene", die mit Glauben, Hoffnung, Liebe und Fantasie den Regeln des Reiches Gottes folgen. Theologie und Einblicke in die Lebenspraxis früherer und heutiger "Heiliger" gehen eine aufrüttelnde, höchst unterhaltsame und inspirierende Verbindung ein. Jesus for President bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die Verflechtungen von Kirche und Macht und regt dazu an, kreativ und kritisch die eigene Glaubenspraxis an den Maßstäben Jesu neu auszurichten. Ein Buch für alle, die Jesus folgen und im Geist der frühen Kirche das Reich Got...

Richard Prince : Untitled (couple) (9781846380037)

A year after Richard Prince's Untitled (cowboy) photograph set a record for the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction, a study of a work from Richard Prince's series of Untitled (couples) considers the long history of the image and Prince as a pioneer of the approproated image. In Richard Prince's 1977 work Untitled (couple), difference mixes uncannily with sameness. We can't quite tell whether the shiny couple we see is human or android; their clothing seems curiously out of date. Why do they fascinate us? What is it about their typicality that produces an impression of strangeness? Michael Newman explores Prince's work and his revival of the image through photography-rephotographed reproduced photographs-after the impasses of conceptualism. Newman examines the relation of Prince's work to images appearing in illustrated magazines, advertising, and television during the artist's formative years and argues that the vintage TV series The Twilig...

Why Read Hannah Arendt Now? (9781509528608)

Recently there has been an extraordinary international revival of interest in Hannah Arendt. She was extremely perceptive about the dark tendencies in contemporary life that continue to plague us. She developed a concept of politics and public freedom that serves as a critical standard for judging what is wrong with politics today. Richard J. Bernstein argues that Arendt should be read today because her penetrating insights help us to think about both the darkness of our times and the sources of illumination. He explores her thinking about statelessness and refugees; the right to have rights; her critique of Zionism; the meaning of the banality of evil; the complex relations between truth, lying, power, and violence; the tradition of the revolutionary spirit; and the urgent need for each of us to assume responsibility for our political lives. This short and very readable book will be of great interest to anyone who wants to understand the forces that are shaping our world today. ...

Between Past and Future : Eight Exercises in Political Thought (9780143104810)

From the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism, "a book to think with through the political impasses and cultural confusions of our day" (Harper's Magazine) Hannah Arendt's insightful observations of the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, constitute an impassioned contribution to political philosophy. In Between Past and Future Arendt describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, she shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future. To participate in these exercises is to associate, in action, with one of the most original and fruitful minds of the twentieth century. Product details ...

Islam and the Future of Tolerance : A Dialogue (9780674241480)

"A civil but honest dialogue...As illuminating as it is fascinating." -Ayaan Hirsi Ali Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem to be drawn to extremism? And what do words like jihadism and fundamentalism really mean? In a world riven by misunderstanding and violence, Sam Harris-a famous atheist-and Maajid Nawaz-a former radical-demonstrate how two people with very different religious views can find common ground and invite you to join in an urgently needed conversation. "How refreshing to read an honest yet affectionate exchange between the Islamist-turned-liberal-Muslim Maajid Nawaz and the neuroscientist who advocates mindful atheism, Sam Harris...Their back-and-forth clarifies multiple confusions that plague the public conversation about Islam." -Irshad Manji, New York Times Book Review "It is sadly uncommon, in any era, to find dialogue based on facts and reason-but even more rarely are Muslim and non-Mus...
