"The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on.

"For three decades after Mao's death in 1976, China's leaders adopted a restrained approach to foreign policy. They determined that any threat to their power, and that of the Chinese Communist Party, came not from abroad but from within--a conclusion cemented by the 1989 Tiananmen crisis. To facilitate the country's inexorable economic ascendence, and to prevent a backlash, they reassured the outside world of China's peaceful intentions. Then, as...

O'Farrell takes dead aim in Global Village Idiot at cell phones, awards ceremonies, genetic sheep splicers, America's right wing cabal of dunces, dunderheads, dimwits, and the Big D' himself. Just when we thought the lawlessness in Iraq was over, O'Farrell observes, even more blatant incidents of looting have begun. With handkerchiefs masking their faces, two rioters roughly the height of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld kicked in the gates of the...

"Esto es y no es una novela, porque la ficci̤n a veces se desliza en sus p̀ginas. Es tambǐn una cr̤nica autobiogr̀fica que arranca con un nįo de cuatro ąos vestido con una chamarra amarilla, que pasa por un joven al que le disparan un 10 de junio y que termina en un hombre de setenta ąos que conversa con L̤pez Obrador sobre los posibles futuros de los libros en M̌xico. Pero es mucho m̀s que eso, porque adem̀s es la cr̤nica de una generaci̤n...

"Even before the cataclysmic 2016 election, the Democratic Party had long been at war with itself-yet Joe Biden's narrow victory in 2020 bridged the divide. Facing the dire threat of a second Trump administration, Democrats forged an unlikely but effective coalition that stalled Trumpism at the ballot box and enacted a raft of consequential legislation. But how long can the uneasy peace hold, and can Biden win again?" --

El dúo bizarro está de regreso. ¿Qué tienen en común un científico antivacunas disfrazado de secretario de Salud, una precandidata a la presidencia disfrazada de jefa de Gobierno y un acosador disfrazado de diputado? Sencillo: todos pertenecen a la clase política que está transformando a México. Morena ha resultado ser un catálogo de los perfiles políticos más patéticos de nuestro país, dando lugar...

Should we join in? Should we choose sides? Is God on our side or on their side? How do we know?In this short booklet, a super-quick read, Allen Taylor addresses this question head on, with wit and deep insight. It's not a political tract, nor is it a come-to-Jesus...

A historian's discerning, critical take on current American politics
"Believe me" may be the most commonly used phrase in Donald Trump's lexicon. Whether about building a wall or protecting a Christian heritage, the refrain has been constant. And to the surprise of many, a good 80 percent of white evangelicals have believed Trump-at least enough to help propel him into the White House.
Historian John Fea is not surprised, however-and in these pages...

The Cure for National Healing & Restoration
The entire modern-day "political conflict" over Israel is nothing but a "biblical conflict" between those nations that support Israel's right to settle in the whole land promised to Abraham, and between those nations that are opposing the will of God Almighty on this issue. Therefore, whoever will oppose Yahveh on this issue will find himself His enemy. Every nation that opposes the plan of Yahveh to reestablish...

Not long ago, Paul Ramsey (1913-1988) was a leading voice in North American Christian ethics. Today, however, his intellectual legacy is in question, and his work is largely ignored by current scholars in the field. Against the tide of that neglect, Adam Edward Hollowell argues in Power and Purpose that Ramsey's work can still yield considerable insight for contemporary Christian political theology.
Hollowell shows the influences of Jean-Jacques...
