The Madhouse
Have you ever grown tired of the constant white-washing of Socialist countries by today's mass media? Well, here's the antidote - a 120,000 word expos on the real contemporary Sweden, fully unmasked in all its vileness. Hear about... ... the five teenagers who have taken their lives the last couple of years as a consequence of being forcibly taken from their families and put into orphanages. ... the families whose children were taken by the government as they attempted to leave the country, and the ex-Communists who want to make the very attempt to do so a crime. ... the social authorities justifying in official documents seizing a woman's new-born child at the maternity hospital. ... the Mu...
Jag har inte sanningen, jag söker den
Det blåser kring K G Hammar. Sverige har sedan 1997 en ärkebiskop som väcker riktigt starka känslor. Han stödde den kontroversiella utställningen Ecce Homo, vilket fick påven att ställa in ett planerat Sverigebesök. Han har uttalat sig för homosexuellas rätt till äktenskap. Han har kritiserat USA:s Irakkrig. Han har kallats vänstermegafon av förre moderat-ledaren Bo Lundgren. Som Svenska kyrkans högste representant har K G Hammar tagit alltför tydlig ställning, säger man. Samtidigt heter det att han är för otydlig i de centrala trosfrågorna. Man måste tro helt och fullt på Bibelns ord, tro att jungfrufödseln och uppståndelsen är bok-stavligt talat sanna. Men Hammar ...
Divine Suspense
What is suspense, and why do we feel it? These questions are at the heart of the first part of this study. It develops and defends the ‘imminence theory of suspense’ – the view that suspense arises in situations that are structurally defined by something essential being imminent. Next, the study utilizes this theory as an interpretative key to Søren Kierkegaard’s seminal work ‘Frygt og Bæven’ (‘FB’). FB is an exploration of what it means to take the story of Abraham and Isaac as a paradigmatic example of faith. The study argues that a core aspect of how Kierkegaard conceptualizes faith through the figure of Abraham is suspense. The argument is built upon the observation tha...
Ticket to the world
The two persons, besides my parents, who influenced my path in life were an American president and a Swedish murderer. If it were not for these two people, my life would have gone in a different direction... I would have lived in a parallel universe... I would have lived a different life. But now my life had been given a direction. This is the life I am going to tell you about in this book. A life in the fast lane. A life on the move. A life in many countries. This is the story of a man who left his country to explore the world.
Politics and Conscience
An accessible guide to the principles and vision of Dag Hammarskjöld, a man John F. Kennedy called "the greatest statesman of our century." Dag Hammarskjöld served as Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1953 until his tragic Dag Hammarskjöld served as secretary-general of the United Nations from 1953 until his tragic death in a suspicious plane crash in 1961. During those years he saw the fledgling international organization through numerous crises with skill that made him a star on the international stage. As readers of his now-classic diary, Markings, are aware, Hammarskjöld understood political leadership as an honor calling for resourcefulness, humility, moral clarity, and s...

Orthodox Tradition and Human Sexuality
Sex is a difficult issue for contemporary Christians, but the past decade has witnessed a newfound openness regarding the topic among Eastern Orthodox Christians. Both the theological trajectory and the historical circumstances of the Orthodox Church differ radically from those of other Christian denominations that have already developed robust and creative reflections on sexuality and sexual diversity. Within its unique history, theology, and tradition, Orthodox Christianity holds rich resources for engaging challenging questions of sexuality in new and responsive ways. What is at stake in questions of sexuality in the Orthodox tradition? What sources and theological convictions can uniquel...
