As Syria imploded in civil war in 2011, Kurdish volunteers in the north rose up to free their homeland from centuries of repression and create a progressive sanctuary of tolerance and democracy. To the medievalists of ISIS, this was an affront, so they amassed 10,000 men, heavy artillery, tanks, mortars and ranks of suicide bombers to crush the uprising. Against them stood 2,500 volunteer fighters armed with 40-year-old rifles. There was only one way for the Kurds to survive. They would have to kill the invaders one by one.

The story of Catholic Emancipation begins with the Anti-Catholic Gordon Riots in 1780, fuelled by a reduction in Penal Laws against Catholics harking back to the 16th century. Fifty years later, the passing of the Emancipation Bill was hailed as a 'bloodless revolution'. Yet, had the Irish Catholics been a 'millstone', or were they the prime movers?

This book explores how polarized interpretations of America's past influence the present and vice versa. A focus on competing Protestant reactions to President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan evidences a fundamental divide over how America should remember historical racism, sexism, and exploitation. Additionally, these Protestants disagree over how the past influences present injustice and equality. Rowley proposes that recovering a complex view of the past, confessing the bad and embracing the good, might help Americans have a shared memory that can bridge polarization.

L'inondazione di odio in Internet, i cori negli stadi contro i giocatori neri, il risveglio del demone antisemita, le spedizioni squadristiche contro gli omosessuali, i rimpianti di troppi politici per "i metodi di Hitler", le avanzate in tutta Europa dei partiti xenofobi, le milizie in divisa para-nazista, i pestaggi di disabili, le rivolte veneziane contro gli "zingari" anche se sono veneziani da secoli e fanno di cognome Pavan, gli omicidi di clochard, gli inni immondi alla purezza del sangue.

Wissen war in früheren Zeiten ein Privileg von wenigen, vor allem einfache Leute hatten keinen Zugang dazu. Die Situation änderte sich grundlegend mit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks durch Gutenberg im 15. Jahrhundert. Bücher lassen sich in großen Stückzahlen vervielfältigen und unter die Leute bringen. Vor allem Luther, so Wolf, macht sich die Möglichkeiten der Verbreitung zunutze: Jeder Dritte hat eine gedruckte Lutherschrift gelesen. Die katholische Kirche kann die Flut von Schriften nicht eindämmen, aber sie möchte verhindern, dass unliebsame Bücher gelesen werden.

Two thousand years ago Jesus laid the foundation for His church, and for over three years He instructed His disciples in the fundamentals and mission the church should follow. In the ensuing years since then, His church has encountered much opposition and persecution from endemics, societal leaders, cultures, religions, and more. As of this writing His church is once again encountering global oppression caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, which has caused church doors to be closed, and has interrupted worship on several levels. Nevertheless, it is His church, and He has assured us that the ...

First published in 1987, this book was one of a very small handful that passed on a renewed revelation of how to understand Scripture and LGBTQ inclusion in the Christian church. At that time, almost no mainstream denominations were openly inclusive of LGBTQ people, neither in membership nor in ministry. Very few people were preaching a gospel of inclusion. Things They Never Told You in Sunday School took what had been explained in rather complicated detail by some others and organized the information into a layperson’s, easy to understand journey that walked simply through the Bible ...
