The Devil and the Dolce Vita
Italy’s economic expansion after World War Two triggered significant social and cultural change. Secularization accompanied this development and triggered alarm bells across the nation’s immense Catholic community. The Devil and the Dolce Vita is the story of that community – the church of Popes Pius XII, John XXIII and Paul VI, the lay Catholic Action association, and the Christian Democratic Party – and their efforts in a series of culture wars to preserve a traditional way of life and to engage and tame the challenges of a rapidly modernizing society. Roy Domenico begins this study during the heady days of the April 1948 Christian Democratic electoral triumph and ends when pro-div...
War and Peace
This treatise investigates the emergence of the early modern law of nations, focusing on Alberico Gentili’s contribution to the same. A religious refugee and Regius Professor at the University of Oxford, Alberico Gentili (1552–1608) lived in difficult times of religious wars and political persecution. He discussed issues that were topical in his lifetime and remain so today, including the clash of civilizations, the conduct of war, and the maintenance of peace. His idealism and political pragmatism constitute the principal reasons for the continued interest in his work. Gentili’s work is important for historical record, but also for better analysing and critically assessing the origins of international law and its current developments, as well as for elaborating its future trajectories.
Pier Giorgio Frassati
Pier Giorgio Frassati is situated in the social and political upheaval of early-twentieth-century Italy. The Roman Catholic Church read the warning signs of atheistic Marxism; Mussolini filled Italy's political vacuum with fascists; and Rome was still Italy's disputed capital. The biography draws from a synopsis of selected letters and witness accounts, revealing Pier Giorgio's increasing engagement with the world around him, shaped by his spiritual life. Pier Giorgio belonged to an upper-middle-class family and his parents transmitted fundamental values of truth, courage, and justice. Although he was deeply loved by his parents, they did not share his religious zeal. Pier Giorgio was concer...
Jehovah's Witnesses in Europe
The religious association of Jehovah’s Witnesses has existed for about 150 years in Europe. How Jehovah’s Witnesses found their way in these countries has depended upon the way this missionary association was treated by the majority of the non-Witness population, the government and established churches. In this respect, the history of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Europe is also a history of the social constitution of these countries and their willingness to accept and integrate religious minorities. Jehovah’s Witnesses faced suppression and persecution not only in dictatorships, but also in some democratic states. In other countries, however, they developed in relative freedom. How the different situations in the various national societies affected the religious association and what challenges Jehovah’s Witnesses had to overcome – and still do in part even until our day – is the theme of this history volume.

Giustizia come servizio all'uomo
L'Autore, che è stato magistrato per 43 anni, prende spunto da episodi significativi della sua lunga attività professionale per riflettere sui principi di fondo che regolano la funzione giurisdizionale e sulla intensa umanità del lavoro del giudice. Ne esce un quadro assai vasto dei problemi sollevati dalla deontologia professionale del giudice. Le riflessioni hanno come nucleo centrale la concezione della giustizia come servizio all'uomo e l'umanizzazione del rapporto giudice-cittadino. Si trattano i temi dell'indipendenza del giudice, dei cronici difetti della giustizia italiana, della cosiddetta politicizzazione dei giudici, dei rapporti tra i giudici e gli avvocati, le parti, i testi, il mondo dell'informazione, ecc. Il libro potrà interessare magistrati, avvocati, operatori della giustizia, e i giovani che studiano Giurisprudenza. Ma avvincerà anche il lettore comune che abbia desiderio di conoscere meglio il mondo a volte un po' misterioso dei giudici, dei processi, dell'attività giudiziaria.
