  “In this marvelously accessible book, philosopher-Christian Jim Stump provides the reader with new eyes for a journey through time, the origin of the soul, suffering, and morality, and reveals how the latest scientific findings about what it means to be human have led him to a deeper and more authentic faith.”—Francis S. Collins, Director of the Human Genome Project and Founder of BioLogos, author of The Language of God 
  A thought-provoking and eye-opening work by Jim Stump, Vice President at BioLogos and host of the Language of God podcast, offering a compelling argument about how evolution does not have to be at odds with faith, but can actually enrich and deepen it. 
  In this moving and deeply thoughtful book, Jim Stump takes readers with him on his journey to understanding evolution and reconciling it with his faith. The Sacred Chain draws on philosophy, theology, and the latest scientific research to tackle some of the biggest questions facing humanity and people of faith today, such as:How can we hold the Bible as a sacred text and yet reconcile modern science with it?By condensing noteworthy events in the history of our universe into one calendar week, what can we learn about God’s creative process and priorities, and where humans fit in?If humans are created in the image of God, what does evolution have to teach us about our species and our place in creation?What about the soul? How can we understand our transcendent qualities if the human body is the product of evolution?How does evolutionary science help us understand how God might use pain and suffering for important and good purposes?Does it have to be one or the other—science or religion—or is there a third way, one that not only preserves faith in the face of modern science, but leads to a stronger, more relevant, and more authentic faith? 
  Deeply researched and a delight to read, The Sacred Chain provides clarity in our uncertain times, revealing a bigger picture of our world and our place within it. It is a panorama consistent with the scientific findings about who we are and where we come from that can actually bolster our faith as it engages our curiosity about ourselves, our universe, and the nature of existence itself.

  The global order is always evolving, and in that sense, change could well be seen as a constant factor. But that ongoing evolution has now been given a sharper edge by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, developments in Afghanistan, the Ukraine conflict and greater friction among key powers. 'One Trend and Four Shocks' are thus creating a new landscape. 
  The 'Four Shocks' have, each in their own way, led to heightened global anxiety and insecurity. This era of upheaval entails greater expectations from India, putting it on the path to becoming a leading power. 
  In The India Way, S. Jaishankar, India's Minister of External Affairs, analyses these challenges and spells out possible policy responses. In doing so, he is very conscious of balancing India's national interest with international responsibilities. He places this thinking in the context of history and tradition, appropriate for a civilizational power that seeks to reclaim its place on the world stage.

  Anarchy in Action - Case Studies...

  Anarchism is often misunderstood and misrepresented, seen by many as synonymous with chaos and disorder. However, anarchism is a diverse and complex political philosophy that seeks to create a society free from oppressive hierarchies, such as the state, capitalism, and institutionalized authority. At its core, anarchism advocates for the dismantling of centralized power structures and the establishment of self-governed, voluntary communities based on mutual aid, solidarity, and direct action. Anarchists believe that individuals should have the freedom to organize their lives and work collectively without the interference of coercive institutions. 
  The history of anarchism traces back to the early 19th century, with influential thinkers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin shaping its development. Proudhon is often credited with coining the term “anarchy,” which he defined as “order without power.” Bakunin, one of the most prominent anarchist figures, argued that the state inherently oppresses the individual and stifles freedom, calling for a revolutionary transformation that would replace governmental authority with voluntary associations. Kropotkin, another major figure, emphasized the importance of mutual aid and cooperation, asserting that human beings are naturally inclined to work together for the common good, rather than being solely driven by competition and self-interest.
