Re-Introducing Christianity
"Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. . . . And those who preach faith, and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction." -- Bill Maher Many seem unaware that contemporary critiques of Christianity are relevant mostly to its modern offshoots (whose followers have to some extent earned Bill Maher's unflattering caricatures). To its detriment, Christianity is increasingly identified in people's minds with these more recent expressions. As a result, a growing number of people are turning away from Christianity and, indeed, religious faith altogether. Drawing fr...
North Africa’s Arab Spring
This book addresses issues surrounding the evolution of the Arab Spring in North Africa. After a general introduction and explanation of the events on a region-wide basis, it turns to examine aspects of each of the countries concerned. The role of the Muslim Brotherhood during the Nasser regime and in the contemporary situation is compared, together with an analysis of the emergence of new political parties in Egypt. The book analyses the links between social media and satellite television during the revolution in Egypt. This is followed by a study of the intellectual and cultural background to the Tunisian revolution and an analysis of the new political parties in Tunisia. It also looks at the revolution process in Libya and concludes with a study of why there was no revolution in Algeria and how the Moroccan monarchy was able to sideline those who challenged it at the price of constitutional changes that are essentially cosmetic. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.
Dağlık Karabağ Sorunu: Dar Alanda Büyük Oyun
Güney Kafkasya bölgesinde iki devlet arasında çözüme kavuşturulamamış en uzun süreli çatışma olma özelliğini koruyan Dağlık Karabağ sorunu, çözüme yönelik girişimlerde yer alan uluslararası örgütlerin varlığı ile uluslararası bir nitelik kazanmıştır. 1994 yılında imzalanan ateşkes anlaşması sonrasında ihtilaflı taraflar arasında Avrupa Güvenlik ve İşbirliği Teşkilatı (AGİT) bünyesinde oluşturulan Minsk Grubu’nun girişimleriyle barış görüşmeleri yapılmaya başladıysa da Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan’ın mutabık olduğu bir anlaşma üzerinde karar kılınamamıştır. Ateşkes Anlaşması’nın dönem dönem artan oranda ihlal edilmes...
Gospel Witness
In light of our increasingly post-Christian Western contexts, David Gustafson offers a mission-oriented ecclesiology that moves from missional theory to practices of missional engagement. Introducing “God’s human drama” as a way to explain the gospel within God’s redemptive story, he outlines specific ways for pastors and church leaders to shape a “gospeling” culture within their congregations. Gustafson expertly lays the foundations of and approaches to evangelism that are seminal and apt for the church today.
Historical Dictionary of Algeria
Algeria’s strategic regional and global importance continues to grow. Its hydrocarbon wealth, namely natural gas and oil, is impressive and its receipts are crucial to the national economy. The European Union is a particularly valued hydrocarbon importer and overall commercial partner. The bilateral relationship with France remains problematic and paradoxical. Algeria has demanded an apology for the imposition of colonialism; but it also recognizes the importance of France economically, politically, and militarily, e.g., the unrest in the Sahel (notably Mali). Furthermore, Algeria continues to recover from its recent, tragic civil strife characterized by terrorism and extremism. Its uncert...

The Mountain of Silence
"Images of the land and the people of Cyprus and details of its tragic history enrich The Mountain of Silence. Like the writings of the great mystics, the book evokes the confluence of an inner and outer journey. The depth and richness of its spiritual message echo the thoughts and writings of Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints of the Western Church as well."--BOOK JACKET.
