The mechanism and sensationalism of Descartes and Newton precluded a re...

Writing from a constructive, postmodern perspective, the authors enter into dialogue with the deconstructive postmodernism ...

The baffling age-old question, if there is a good God, why is there evil in the world? has troubled ordinary people and great thinkers for centuries. "God, Power, and Evil" illuminates the issues by providing both a critical historical survey of theodicy as presented in the works of major Western philosophers and theologians--Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Aquinas, Spinoza, Luther, Calvin, Leibniz, Barth, John Hick, James Ross, Fackenh...

This book takes a genuinely new spiritual stance reflecting the emergence of a post-modern science and differing from the relativistic nihilism that calls itself postmodern but is really modernism extended to its limit. Based on a direct experience of reality as divine, this postmodern spirituality transcends modernity's individualism and patriarchy, its forced choices between dualism and materialism, anthropocentrism and relativism, supernat...

In diesem Buch untersucht David Ray Griffin die vom CIA-Agenten Robert Baer bis hin zu Oliver North erbrachten Beweise, dass bin Laden mit Sicherheit nicht mehr unter den Lebenden weilte. Er analysiert die angeblichen Botschaften bin Ladens und stellt fest, dass diese, wie von so vielen vermutet, keine Beweise für bin Ladens Existenz nach 2001 darstellen. Dies führt naturgemäß zu folgender Frage: Wenn Osama bin Laden tatsächlich im Jahr 2001 g...
