"All the elements in this book concerning prejudice, discrimination, war, violence, distorted interpretations of religious texts, physical and mental abuse, poverty, and disease fall disproportionately on women and girls. I saw the ravages of racial prejudice as I grew up in the Deep South, when for a century the U.S. Supreme Court and all other political and social authorities accepted the premise that black people were, in some basic ways, inferior to white people. Even those in the dominant class who disagreed with the presumption remained relatively… Read More

Previous owner's name on front inside cover.Christian philosophy is an intellectual venture which is necessarily undertaken whenever a man who is endowed with philosophical tastes, gifts, and temperament believes the Christian Faith. I use the word 'necessarily', because such a man cannot believe with the whole of his being unless he believes in a philosophical and intellectual manner. There are indeed diversities of gifts and temperaments, but of all Christians it is true that genuine personal faith must mean the deliberate surrender and dedication of the entire personality to the service of God. The philosophical type of man must thus choose between being a Christian philosopher and not being a Christian at all.

One is the potted survey, where everyone appears in the index but very little is added about them in the text. The other is a more impressionistic approach.

And it is the way best suited to the text of an illustrated book, highlighting certain moments at the price of others." - Preface from The Christians

Thus many of those who are accustomed to a daily eucharist have found that repetition of this material, and especially the Collects, fails to provide a variety rich enough to celebrate the individuality of each saint in the calendar...." - Introduction from The Cloud Of Witnesses: A companion to the Lesser Festivals and Holy Days of the Alternative Service Book 1980

The dismantling of the empires of the Habsburgs, Ottoman sultans, Russian tsars, Hitler's Germany, and that of the Soviet Union in the face of the irresistible force of the oppressed nation's quest for democracy has fulfilled the axiomatic ideological position of Western champions of the principle of self-determination of nationalities. Yet even after the overthrow of the most pernicious forms of totalitarianism democracy remains illusory. It may well be asked what factors mitigated against the triumph of democracy after the world wars and to what extent… Read More
