  What God Would Have Known - How...

  Classical Christian ideas loom large in philosophy of religion today. But arguments against Christian doctrine have been neglected. J. L. Schellenberg's new book remedies this neglect. 
   
   
   
  The tide of human development, which the early Christians might have expected to corroborate their teaching, has in fact brought many results that run contrary to that teaching. Or at least it will be seen to have done so, says Schellenberg, when we think about the consequences of any God existent then being fully cognizant, when Christian doctrine was first formed, of all that we have laboriously learned since then. Newly discovered facts, not just about such things as evolution and the formation of the New Testament but also about mental illness, violent punishment, the relations between women and men, and the status of same-sex intimacy, suggest new arguments against the content of the Christian revelation when the prior understanding of the purported revealer is taken into account. 
   
   
   
  What God Would Have Known offers a thorough and incisive treatment of its subject that remains respectful and fair-minded throughout. It is not concerned with the overworked question of whether classical Christians believe irrationally, but with what overlooked arguments about human development show in relation to the truth or falsity of Christian claims about reality.

  The Iron Cage - The Story of the...

  Rashid Khalidi

  At a time when a lasting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis seems unattainable, understanding the roots of their conflict is an essential step in restoring hope to the region. In The Iron Cage, Rashid Khalidi provides a lucid context for the realities on the ground today, a context that has been, until now, notably lacking in our discourse. 
   
   
   
  The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins in the mandate period immediately following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, when fledgling Arab states were established by the colonial powers with assurances of eventual independence. But the British had already begun to construct an iron cage to hem in the Palestinians. The Palestinians' struggle intensified in the stretch before and after WWII, when colonial control of the region became increasingly unpopular, population shifts began with heavy Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe, and power began to devolve to the US. In this crucial period, Palestinian leaders continued to run up against the walls of the ever-constricting iron cage. They proved unable to achieve their long-cherished goal of establishing an independent state—a critical failure that set a course for the decades that followed. Rashid Khalidi's engrossing narrative of this torturous history offers much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about peace in the Middle East.

  This audiobook narrated by Ruha Benjamin offers an inspiring and uniquely personal vision of how we can build a more just world one small change at a time
  "A book as urgent as the moment that produced it."—Jelani Cobb, Columbia Journalism School
  
  Long before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Part memoir, part manifesto, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day.
  
  Vividly recounting her personal experiences and those of her family, Benjamin shows how seemingly minor decisions and habits could spread virally and have exponentially positive effects. She recounts her father's premature death, illuminating the devastating impact of the chronic stress of racism, but she also introduces us to community organizers who are fostering mutual aid and collective healing. Through her brother's experience with the criminal justice system, we see the trauma caused by policing practices and mass imprisonment, but we also witness family members finding strength as they come together to demand justice for their loved ones. And while her own challenges as a young mother reveal the vast inequities of our healthcare system, Benjamin also describes how the support of doulas and midwives can keep Black mothers and babies alive and well.
  
  This inspiring audiobook offers a passionate and practical vision of how small changes can add up to large ones, transforming our relationships and communities and helping us build a more just and joyful world.

  Description: 
  Cutting into the Silence is a contemplative audiobook that blends personal memoir with reflection on care, resilience, and what it means to remain human in systems driven by efficiency and control. 
  Narrated with restraint and clarity, the book follows an oncology surgeon’s journey from a small mountain village in Turkey to a medical career in Belgium. Along the way, listeners are invited into moments of vulnerability, ethical doubt, and quiet determination—both in the operating room and beyond it. 
  Rather than offering prescriptions, the audiobook creates space for reflection. It introduces the Zigana model as a compass for growth — rooted in motivation, curiosity, and emotional and social intelligence—while remaining grounded in lived experience and patient stories. 
  Listener perspective: 
  “Contemplative memoir paralleling medical practice with the human experience.” — BookLife Reviews 
  “A powerful reminder that caring for others starts with understanding them as people, not cases.” — Readers’ Favorite 
  “A compassionate and thoughtful guide to reclaiming one’s humanity in a systems-driven world.” — Kirkus Reviews 
  This audiobook is for listeners interested in healthcare, leadership, ethics, and personal growth—and for anyone reflecting on how to live and work with integrity inside complex systems.
