Global Development
In the Cold War, "development" was a catchphrase that came to signify progress, modernity, and economic growth. Development aid was closely aligned with the security concerns of the great powers, for whom infrastructure and development projects were ideological tools for conquering hearts and minds around the globe, from Europe and Africa to Asia and Latin America. In this sweeping and incisive book, Sara Lorenzini provides a global history of development, drawing on a wealth of archival evidence to offer a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a Cold War phenomenon that transformed the modern world. Taking readers from the aftermath of the Second World War to the tearing down of the Berlin...
Narrating Europe
Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes haben eine Reihe von Reden von Spitzenpolitikern zur europäischen Integration aus einer großen Zeitspanne (1946-2020) analysiert, wobei sie jede Rede in ihren zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt und in den biographischen Hintergrund des Redners eingeordnet haben. Die vergleichende Analyse zeigt, dass es notwendig ist, wieder zu entdecken, dass das Ideal des europäischen Einigungswerks genauso spannend sein kann wie andere nationale geschichtliche Kontroversen. Angesichts eines grassierenden Euroskeptizismus kann eine historische Einordnung und Kontextualisierung der Rolle der Kommunikation der europäischen Integration ein nützliches Instrumentar...
May They All Be One
Back in print again! May They All Be One is the best introduction to the origins and life of the Focolare Movement. With clear, vivid storytelling Chiara Lubich opens us to the adventure of living for God. “Back in 1943, in the northern Italian city of Trent, there were just a few of us. But it was wartime. Bombs were falling, destroying parts of our city and claiming their victims. We looked around at all the ruins and asked ourselves: ‘Is there anything that does not pass away? Any reality that no bombs can destroy?’ And as though someone had enlightened us from within, we answered: ‘Yes, there is such a reality: it is God. God endures forever.’ So, driven by a supernatural force, we decided to make God the “Ideal” of our lives.” (Chiara Lubich)

Christian Compassion
Although not always unswervingly, from antiquity until today, Christians have engaged in charity. As settings changed, compassion evolved, laying in place an ongoing mosaic of Christian ideas and institutions surrounding care. From the antique and medieval to the modern and contemporary, each age offers unique actors and insights into how compassion is viewed and achieved. We consider repeating motifs and novel appearances in the arc of Christian compassion which enlighten and inspire. Encountered on the journey are the formation and sacrifice of ancient Christians; an emphasis on virtues taught through sparing and sharing; the nascent social welfare of the Byzantine church; the sacralization and mobilization of a medieval church; innovative ideas from reformers who advance the role of the state; and modern movements in justice, peace, humanitarianism, mutual aid, and community development.
Boża sekta. Ruch Focolari. Skandale, nadużycia i walka o władzę w kościele katolickim
Mistycyzm i nadużycia seksualne, dzieła charytatywne i zabieranie dóbr osobistych, fanatyzm, kult charyzmatycznego przywódcy i zniewolenie kobiet. Istnieje długa lista sprzeczności, które wyłaniają się z wielkiego śledztwa w sprawie Ruchu Focolari, rzeczywistości kościelnej pod wieloma względami nieznanej, mimo że ma dwa miliony wyznawców na całym świecie. Ferruccio Pinotti zebrał w książce bogatą dokumentację na temat świata Focolari oraz wywiady ze świadkami, byłymi fokolarynami, teologami i ekspertami, wydobywając na światło dzienne prawdę o Ruchu Focolari.

Una repubblica nata male
Questo saggio vuole mettere in luce gli elementi che hanno condizionato negativamente non solo la nascita della nostra Repubblica, ma anche i suoi successivi sviluppi. La Repubblica italiana nasce da una guerra disastrosa perduta miseramente. L’Italia fu liberata dal nazifascismo principalmente grazie all’intervento delle forze armate angloamericane e non dalla Resistenza che, peraltro, non ha ancora chiarito le vicende che portarono alla fine del fascismo, come la morte di Mussolini, il cosiddetto oro di Dongo e il carteggio segreto Churchill-Mussolini. È con questo vulnus e peccato originale che prende vita la nostra Repubblica. L’Italia uscì dalla guerra evidenziando tutta la sua debolezza morale e politica. Gli altri Paesi, in primis gli USA, iniziarono a concepirla come terra di conquista da sfruttare per i propri interessi geopolitici. È giunta l’ora di fare i conti con il nostro passato pieno di falsi miti e segreti che continuano a condizionare il presente. Dovremmo essere un popolo più consapevole della propria storia, per divenire un Paese più maturo e libero, più responsabile civile e democratico.
