Book Synopsis Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization by : Samuel Gregg
Download or read book Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization written by Samuel Gregg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gregg's book is the closet thing I've encountered in a long time to a one-volume user's manual for operating Western Civilization." —The Stream "Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization offers a concise intellectual history of the West through the prism of the relationship between faith and reason." —Free Beacon The genius of Western civilization is its unique synthesis of reason and faith. But today that synthesis is under attack—from the East by radical Islam (faith without reason) and from within the West itself by aggressive secularism (reason without faith). The stakes are incalculably high. The naïve and increasingly common assumption that reason and faith are incompatible is simply at odds with the facts of history. The revelation in the Hebrew Scriptures of a reasonable Creator imbued Judaism and Christianity with a conviction that the world is intelligible, leading to the flowering of reason and the invention of science in the West. It was no accident that the Enlightenment took place in the culture formed by the Jewish and Christian faiths. We can all see that faith without reason is benighted at best, fanatical and violent at worst. But too many forget that reason, stripped of faith, is subject to its own pathologies. A supposedly autonomous reason easily sinks into fanaticism, stifling dissent as bigoted and irrational and devouring the humane civilization fostered by the integration of reason and faith. The blood-soaked history of the twentieth century attests to the totalitarian forces unleashed by corrupted reason. But Samuel Gregg does more than lament the intellectual and spiritual ruin caused by the divorce of reason and faith. He shows that each of these foundational principles corrects the other’s excesses and enhances our comprehension of the truth in a continuous renewal of civilization. By recovering this balance, we can avoid a suicidal winner-take-all conflict between reason and faith and a future that will respect neither.
Book Synopsis Islam: Islam's "holy War" Against Christians, Jews, and Western Culture by : Gene Keith
Download or read book Islam: Islam's "holy War" Against Christians, Jews, and Western Culture written by Gene Keith and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe that we are living in one of the most critical times in American history. Some have predicted, "If present trends continue, the USA is on track to become a Muslim nation between 2021 and 2035, perhaps sooner." Consider what the terrorist leaders said about their plans to turn America into an Islamic state. - "Thanks to your democratic laws we will invade you!" - "Thanks to your religious laws we will dominate you!" - "America will have a Muslim president by the year 2020!" - On August 13, 2015, ISIS boasted that they planned to behead the Statue of Liberty. We believe that Islam is one of the most critical issues in this generation. Yet, most people have no idea what Muslims believe or what their agenda is for Christians, Jews, and our beloved America. This book was written to help our readers be able to give intelligent answers to questions like the following. 1. Who was Muhammad? Was Muhammad Black? 2. Who is Allah? Are Jehovah and Allah merely different names for the same God? 3. What is the Kabba? Where is the Kabba located? Why aren't Christians allowed there? 4. What is a caliphate? What is a caliph? 5. Can you define jihad? Can you explain "stealth" jihad. 6. Did the angel Gabriel really appear to Muhammad? What did Gabriel tell him to do?7. Is Islam a religion of peace? Are we at war with Islam?8. Why won't the media use the words Islam and terrorism in the same sentence?9. Can you explain the Islamic agenda for America, Christians and Jews?10. Why did the FBI purge 700 pages from its training manuals?11. Can you name one government agency that has not been infiltrated by Islamist?12. Why have so many colleges installed basins for Muslim students to wash their feet before praying on college campuses?13. Do you believe a devout Muslim can become good citizen?14. Do you believe America is mentioned in Bible prophecy?15. Do you believe Islam mentioned in prophecy?16. Does America actually have any defense against Islam?17. Do you believe God would actually allow Islamic terrorists to conquer America and destroy our churches?18. Do you believe in the Rapture of the Church and the Great Tribulation?19. Do you believe that Islam could be the world religion of the New World Order?20. Are you ready regardless of what happens?With these questions in mind, let's go back to the beginning and take an honest look at Mohammed, Allah, Islam, and see what the future holds for Christians, Jews, America, and Western culture.

Download or read book Blood of the Moon written by George Grant and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2008-07-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Allah has bought from the Umma-the true believers of Islam-their selves and their substance in return for Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah, killing and being killed. Their promise is written in the blood of the moon." -From the Koran, chap. 9, v. 112 The conflict between Islam and the West existed long before the destruction of the World Trade Center and the other events that recently touched America. It goes back hundreds, even thousands, of years. Yet the struggle is upon us now as never before. In this well-reasoned, accessible book, Middle East expert George Grant answers the troubling questions on many believers' minds. Who are the followers of Islam, and what do they believe? What could have motivated those who carried out the acts of terror on September 11? Why has there been tension between Islam and the West for centuries? What are the true meanings of terms such as Ji'had, Intifada, and Dhimma? And is there any hope for peace? The call upon believers now-as always-is to prepare and equip ourselves so that we may stand fast. The Blood of the Moon will help readers better understand the history of Islam and its struggle with the Western world, as well as how Christians can share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ with the followers of Allah.
Book Synopsis Disciples of Destruction by : Charles W. Sutherland
Download or read book Disciples of Destruction written by Charles W. Sutherland and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's going on in the world? Every day we hear more horror stories about the wars in the Middle East. Americans are afraid to travel world-wide because of their justified fears of terrorism. And here, at home, we watch with amazement as the fundamentalists battle over control of a TV empire riddled with sex and drugs, with a scenario that makes prime time television look tame.As money, sex, and power once again take their toll, Disciples of Destruction examines religion itself and the role it has played since time, as we know it, began. Sutherland uncovers and analyzes the real ramifications of organized religion and its devastating effects on Western civilization.Disciples of Destruction is packed with little-known vignettes that are sure to astonish, amuse, and sometimes even outrage the reader. Few will fail to be drawn in by the account of the Corpse Synod, in which a Pope's body was exhumed, put on trial for high crimes, and subsequently dragged through the streets of Rome; or shocked by the plausible contention that Albino Luciani, elected Pope John Paul I in 1979 but destined to reign for only 33 days, did not die a natural death but was in fact assissinated.Sutherland convincingly concludes that organized religion, even today, maintains the proclivities of its barbaric origins, as Israeli expansionism, the Vatican's obsession with its financial empire, the atrocities of Khomeini's Islamic Republic, and Marxist militarism and repression amply demonstrate. These proclivities, updated to our century, indicate that while the long battle to liberate the mind from the fear of tyranny continues, the slow process of slaying the dragons of mythology is not keeping step with the pace of nuclear weapons development and deployment, which accelerates in the context of an equally explosive growth of religious fundamentalism. Unchecked, this makes armageddon the easiest prophecy to fulfill.

Book Synopsis The Case for Islamo-Christian Civilization by : Richard W. Bulliet
Download or read book The Case for Islamo-Christian Civilization written by Richard W. Bulliet and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-28 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom maintains that the differences between Islam and Christianity are irreconcilable. Pre-eminent Middle East scholar Richard W. Bulliet disagrees, and in this fresh, provocative book he looks beneath the rhetoric of hatred and misunderstanding to challenge prevailing—and misleading—views of Islamic history and a "clash of civilizations." These sibling societies begin at the same time, go through the same developmental stages, and confront the same internal challenges. Yet as Christianity grows rich and powerful and less central to everyday life, Islam finds success around the globe but falls behind in wealth and power. Modernization in the nineteenth century brings in secular forces that marginalize religion in political and public life. In the Christian world, this simply furthers a process that had already begun. In the Middle East this gives rise to the tyrannical governments that continue to dominate. Bulliet argues that beginning in the 1950s American policymakers misread the Muslim world and, instead of focusing on the growing discontent against the unpopular governments, saw only a forum for liberal, democratic reforms within those governments. By fostering slogans like "clash of civilizations" and "what went wrong," Americans to this day continue to misread the Muslim world and to miss the opportunity to focus on common ground for building lasting peace. This book offers a fresh perspective on U.S.-Muslim relations and provides the intellectual groundwork upon which to help build a peaceful and democratic future in the Muslim world.
Book Synopsis The Last Word by : Ibrahim Urfi Munisoglu
Download or read book The Last Word written by Ibrahim Urfi Munisoglu and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the work of an educated Muslim businessman living in an era of a declining economic and political Muslim world. Written over a period of 4 years from 1962 to 1966, the work was designed to educate a Muslim audience about the three Abrahamic faiths and to inoculate Muslims against the proselytizing of Christian missionaries directed at Muslim Turks. It offers Muslims and non-Muslims alike a fascinating window into the role of Islam, as seen through the eyes of an educated Muslim who sees the economic and political decline in the Muslim world as arising from a departure from the core values of Islam. The author explores, explains and contrasts the three Abrahamic monotheistic faiths in order to raise the awareness of contemporary Muslims to the intrinsic strength and values of their faith, and highlights the profound contributions of Muslim scholars and scientists to the foundations of western civilization. Written decades before the emergence of violent Islamic fundamentalism, it stands as a reminder to all Muslims of the core values of tolerance and peace that are central to the Islamic faith.

Book Synopsis A History of the End of the World by : Jonathan Kirsch
Download or read book A History of the End of the World written by Jonathan Kirsch and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[The Book of] Revelation has served as a "language arsenal" in a great many of the social, cultural, and political conflicts in Western history. Again and again, Revelation has stirred some dangerous men and women to act out their own private apocalypses. Above all, the moral calculus of Revelation—the demonization of one's enemies, the sanctification of revenge taking, and the notion that history must end in catastrophe—can be detected in some of the worst atrocities and excesses of every age, including our own. For all of these reasons, the rest of us ignore the book of Revelation only at our impoverishment and, more to the point, at our own peril." The mysterious author of the Book of Revelation (or the Apocalypse, as the last book of the New Testament is also known) never considered that his sermon on the impending end times would last beyond his own life. In fact, he predicted that the destruction of the earth would be witnessed by his contemporaries. Yet Revelation not only outlived its creator; this vivid and violent revenge fantasy has played a significant role in the march of Western civilization. Ever since Revelation was first preached as the revealed word of Jesus Christ, it has haunted and inspired hearers and readers alike. The mark of the beast, the Antichrist, 666, the Whore of Babylon, Armageddon, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are just a few of the images, phrases, and codes that have burned their way into the fabric of our culture. The questions raised go straight to the heart of the human fear of death and obsession with the afterlife. Will we, individually or collectively, ride off to glory, or will we drown in hellfire for all eternity? As those who best manipulate this dark vision learned, which side we fall on is often a matter of life or death. Honed into a weapon in the ongoing culture wars between states, religions, and citizenry, Revelation has significantly altered the course of history. Kirsch, whom the Washington Post calls "a fine storyteller with a flair for rendering ancient tales relevant and appealing to modern audiences," delivers a far-ranging, entertaining, and shocking history of this scandalous book, which was nearly cut from the New Testament. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Black Death, the Inquisition to the Protestant Reformation, the New World to the rise of the Religious Right, this chronicle of the use and abuse of the Book of Revelation tells the tale of the unfolding of history and the hopes, fears, dreams, and nightmares of all humanity.
