Měli by se křesťané politice vyhýbat, aby si uchovali svůj prorocký hlas? Nebo se naopak mají snažit prosadit křesťanské hodnoty prostřednictvím politických institucí? N. T. Wright a Michael F. Bird ukazují, že evangelium nikdy nebylo možné oddělit od konfrontace se světskou mocí a že věrnost Kristu vždy znamenala střet s impériem v jeho různých podobách.V naší hluboce rozdělené době se i křesťané ocitají na opačných stranách politického spektra: jedni se hlásí k progresivním vizím, druzí k obraně konzervativních hodnot. Musí být evangelium opravdu spjato s jednou z těchto pozic, nebo se i uprostřed vyostřených ideologických zápasů otevírá jiná možnost, jak uvažovat o světě, moci a věrnosti Bohu?V knize Ježíš a mocnosti (Jesus and the Powers, 2024) autoři propojují biblickou reflexi a politologický vhled s vlastní zkušeností současného světa. Nevedou k jednoduchým odpovědím, ale kladou před čtenáře výzvu: nenechat evangelium spoutat ideologií a uprostřed dnešních politických zápasů znovu objevit jeho nepohodlnou sílu.

Arranged thematically, it includes writings and musings on love, work, daily life, money, travel and the creative process.

As Ronald Blythe writes in his Foreword, ‘This keenly argued book confronts today’s fashionable cynicism and despair, and thus has a message for the current moment when the experience of ageing, or the environment, or of those complex skills and emotions which go into the creation of poetry or stories or music, are all distorted or ignored in favour of what is called “reality”, but where the highest thought and achievement are concerned, is not at all real.’Michael Mayne is one of the greatest Anglican priest-writers. His genius was to stir the reader to sit up and see, to notice the world as if for the first time. This Sunrise of Wonder is a collection of letters written over 20 years ago for his two grandchildren, Adam and Anna, that beautifully and memorably expresses Mayne’s vision of life. For him, to be human is to learn to be attentive, to recognise the mystery of people and of things. Learn how to see, he tells us, for to see is the beginning of wonder. He quotes from the poet Alastair Reid: ‘Amazement is the thing. Not love, but the astonishment of loving.’

Football has never seemed so distant from its fans. Many have been alienated by the greed and shameless self-interest of the Premier League, and no one can predict how the global game will look post-pandemic. In Whose Game Is It Anyway?, Sunday Times best-selling author Michael Calvin searches for a reason to believe. Written at the height of the Covid-19 crisis, the book is a thought-provoking, deeply personal account of the role sport - and particularly football - plays in everyday life. Part memoir, part manifesto, it takes the reader on a tour of the world''s greatest sporting occasions and into its outposts in sub-Saharan Africa, the Amazon Basin and the Southern Ocean. Drawn from Calvin''s experience as an award-winning sportswriter, covering every major sports event over 40 years in more than 80 countries, it offers first-hand insight into such icons as Muhammad Ali, Maradona and Sir Bobby Charlton. With settings ranging from a jungle clearing to a township in apartheid South Africa, this is sport as you''ve never seen it before.

THIS IS PHILOSOPHY “The second edition of This is Philosophy improves upon an excellent first edition. This clear, succinct book is quite possibly the best introduction to Western philosophy on the market.” —Gregory Morgan, Stevens Institute of Technology“This is a terrific book. The writing is not only extremely clear, it is downright gripping—with relevant and detailed examples at every turn. Steven Hales has produced not just a great little introduction to philosophy—he has produced a great little book in philosophy, period.” —Michael Lynch, University of Connecticut“Hales clearly explains important philosophical ideas with a minimum of jargon and without sacrificing depth of content and he consistently gives a fair and accurate presentation of both sides of central philosophical disputes.” —Matthew Van Cleave, Teaching PhilosophyAs the oldest discipline in the academy, philosophy began by asking questions of the world and of human nature.
