In the providence of God, why are there other religions? Was the God of the Bible wise in allowing for them? Can they serve any purpose? Gerald R. McDermott explores reflection on teaching from the Old and New Testaments and from a number of key teachers from the early church to suggest an answer to this perplexing but intriguing question. In the end McDermott provides considerable insight into the troubling clash of world religions and offers a helpful Christian response.

Christianity Today Award of Merit"Arguably, the church's greatest challenge in the next century will be the problem of the scandal of particularity. More than ever before, Christians will need to explain why they follow Jesus and not the Buddha or Confucius or Krishna or Muhammed. But if, while relating their faith to the faiths, Christians treat non-Christian religions as netherworlds of unmixed darkness, the church's message will be a scandal not of particularity but of arrogant obscurantism."Recent evangelical introductions to the problem of other religions have built commendably on foundations laid by J. N. D. Anderson and Stephen Neill. Anderson and Neill opened up the "heathen" worlds to the evangelical West, showing that many non-Christians also seek salvation and have personal relationships with their gods. In the last decade Clark Pinnock and John Sanders have argued for an inclusivist understanding of salvation, and Harold Netland has shed new light on the question of truth in the religions. Yet no evangelicals have focused--as nonevangelicals Keith Ward, Diana Eck and Paul Knitter have done--on the revelatory value of truth in non-Christian religions.Anderson and Neill showed that there are limited convergences between Christian and non-Christian traditions, and Pinnock has argued that there might be truths Christians can learn from religious others. But as far as I know, no evangelicals have yet examined the religions in any sort of substantive way for what Christians can learn without sacrificing, as Knitter and John Hick do, the finality of Christ."This book is the beginning of an evangelical theology of the religions that addresses not the question of salvation but the problem of truth and revelation, and takes seriously the normative claims of other traditions. It explores the biblical propositions that Jesus is the light that enlightens every person (Jn 1:9) and that God has not left Himself without a witness among non-Christian traditions (Acts 14:17). It argues that if Saint Augustine learned from Neo-Platonism to better understand the gospel, if Thomas Aquinas learned from Aristotle to better understand the Scriptures, and if John Calvin learned from Renaissance humanism, perhaps evangelicals may be able to learn from the Buddha--and other great religious thinkers and traditions--things that can help them more clearly understand God's revelation in Christ. It is an introductory word in a conversation that I hope will go much further among evangelicals." Gerald McDermott, from the introduction to Can Evangelicals Learn from World Religions?

A fascinating exposé on the history and crazy controversies MARK TIGHEFrom Feis fixing to false allegations, why are the dance halls across this island such a hotbed for rumour and controversy?Irish dancing may sparkle on the stage glittering costumes, perfect smiles, flawless footwork but behind the polished performances lies a world far less picture perfect.When an explosive whistleblower email lands in the inbox of journalist Ellen Coyne, she is pulled into the high stakes, fiercely protected realm of competitive Irish dance. What she uncovers is a culture simmering with resentment and rivalry: allegations of feis fixing, toxic politics, whispered scandals and rumours that reach the biggest stages in the world.As Ellen follows the trail, the immaculate world of Irish dancing begins to crack open, revealing a community where ambition can turn corrosive and where the pursuit of victory often comes at an unbearable cost.

Sono diciassette i racconti che compongono questa antologia, diciassette narrazioni intimiste, narrate in prima persona, quasi dei monologhi. Scaturiscono da complicate vicissitudini ad eventi imponderabili che conducono ad una sfida spesso cruciale. Lesito talvolta e drammatico, a volte tragicomico o grottesco. I protagonisti di queste storie hanno un lato stravagante, in fondo inquietante, dissimulato sotto unapparenza di normalita. Non a caso gli eventi di tutti i giorni si confondono con il sogno, la fantasia, lallucinazione: qui si cela lintrigo - perche la quotidiana apparenza cela quasi sempre un mistero, e sta allosservatore perspicace (e al lettore attento) coglierlo.

Det var en stille sndag i efterret, mod sidstningen af August den Andens regeringstid, da Theodor Hirschberger med en vadsk p ryggen, kldt som en rejsende student, vandrede fra Neustadt over Elbbroen ind i det egentlige Dresden. Solen nrmede sig allerede til horisonten, og den forbi-ilende flod glimtede gylden i aftenglansen. P begge sider af Elbbroen stod bnke for fodgngere; p en af disse bnke satte Theodor sig og lod sin vadsk nedglide ved sin fod, idet han betragtede den for ham ubekendte by og lyttede til klokkerne, der ld fra de omkringliggende trne. Pludselig afbrdes den ensformige lyd af et mgtigt sangvrk, der klang fra den nyligt opbyggede Mariakirke, og som den gang tonede prgtigt, sknt det i senere tider ikke mere hres. Uagtet det stive og mekaniske i dette spil, hvilket lettelig trtter, nr det oftere hres, s vidste dog de i forskellige toner klingende metaltunger hjt i luften at opfre en musik, der ikke kunne forfejle sin virkning p den, der, lig Theodor, for frste gang lyttede dertil. Han lnede sig tilbage p bnken, mens klokkespillet snart tonede strkere, snart syntes at hend og forsvinde; men nr sangvrket havde tiet en stund, hrtes pludselig igen et par strke klokkeslag, til hvilke et nyt musikstykke knyttede sig; mangfoldige toner rev sig da p ny ls fra metallet og vuggede sig igennem luften. Dette spil varede nsten en time, da klang endelig tre strke akkorder, der sluttede det hele. Theodor blev endnu nogle jeblikke siddende, uvis om det ville begynde igen; ja al denne klang forekom ham nsten som en rst, der i dunkle ord varslede om tilkommende hndelser, og ligesom de fjernere klokkers ensformige lyd kun syntes at stemme overens med det almindelige menneskelivs jvne gang, s vakte de afvekslende toner fra det nrliggende sangvrk en anelse hos ham om en eventyrlig fremtid, der ventede ham selv; men hvad han sledes oplevede i sit indre, var han dog kort efter lige s lidt i stand til at aflgge regnskab for, som vi ofte om morgenen er i stand til at huske, hvad der noget tidligere i drmme p det strkeste har grebet vor sjl.

Voittoisa kenraali palaa kotiin sodasta, vain huomatakseen joutuneensa mukaan koston ja poliittisen vehkeilyn armottomaan kierteeseen. Roomalaisen sivilisaation julkisivu murtuu, kun veriset teot seuraavat toistaan yha kammottavampina, eika yksikaan perheenjasen ole turvassa. Tassa raaassa taistelussa viholliset ylittavat kaikki inhimillisyyden rajat, ja oikeudenmukaisuus saavutetaan vain kasittamattoman julmuuden kautta. Tama intensiivinen painajainen vetaa lukijan mukaansa pimeyteen, jossa saali on tuntematon kasite ja kosto nielee kaikki elavalta.
