Beschreibung

How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
In Faithful Politics, you'll find

- Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
- A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
- Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.

    The End of Heaven - Disaster and...

    In this unique book, Sidney Dekker tackles a largely unexplored dilemma. Our scientific age has equipped us ever better to explain why things go wrong. But this increasing sophistication actually makes it harder to explain why we suffer. Accidents and disasters have become technical problems without inherent purpose. When told of a disaster, we easily feel lost in the steely emptiness of technical languages of engineering or medicine. Or, in our drive to pinpoint the source of suffering, we succumb to the hunt for a scapegoat, possibly inflicting even greater suffering on others around us. How can we satisfactorily deal with suffering when the disaster that caused it is no more than the dispassionate sum of utterly mundane, imperfect human decisions and technical failures? Broad in its historical sweep and ambition, The End of Heaven is also Dekker's most personal book to date.

    Linear and progressive views of history have dominated the popular imagination for the past seventy years in a worldview wedded to the inexorable rise of globalisation and GDP-growth at any cost. However, the end of the Cold War failed to produce the end of history as hoped, a fact brought home to many by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Material wealth and 'Progress' in the name of 'social justice' have not made people happier or more united but quite the opposite. Anxiety, depression, fearfulness, sadness, loneliness and anger have all massively increased since 1970 with the male suicide rate at an all-time high. Western society seems to be divided against itself across every line conceivable: left versus right, women versus men, 'non-whites' versus 'whites', globalists versus populists, 'the elites' versus 'the people', people who think that men can be women and vice versa versus those who insist that they cannot, and so on. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe their country is on 'the wrong track', with similar views reflected in Britain and across Europe. The Prophets of Doom explores eleven thinkers who not only dared to contradict the dominant linear and progressive view of history, but also predicted many of the political and social maladies through which we are living.

    Enneagram - Discover Yourself...

    The Enneagram isn't about classifying people into a certain type according to a few questions and leaving them there with all the judgments that come with their personality type. In reality, the Enneagram is a complex system that keeps on giving you secret internal knowledge about yourself and your psyche the more you delve into it. The Enneagram recognizes nine types of personalities, each with their own attributes that interact with each other to form the core of your being. By studying each personality, you can get a deeper understanding of people, their motives and desires, and the core beliefs that surround everything they do.  
    The Enneagram is also important because of the knowledge it can give you about your words and actions. We tend to have very little information about ourselves because most of our motives and drives are so inherent to us that we have lost any trace of their emergence. The behavior that we normalize might just be toxic, and we aren't able to see it for what it is because we are blinded by ourselves.  
    In this book, we’re going to take a look at the idea of identity and what it means, the perspective that the Enneagram presents us with on identity, how you can use the Enneagram personality test to help you and your partner formulate a better relationship, how by identifying your personality type you can achieve self-growth, the different subtypes under the main Enneagram types, how it can be used at work and business to make communication better within the corporation, and how parents can use the Enneagram personality types to help their children.
