  • Good Muslim, Bad Muslimby Mahmood Mamdani

    Doubleday Publishing 2005; US$ 12.99

    In this brilliant look at the rise of political Islam, the distinguished political scientist and anthropologist Mahmood Mamdani brings his expertise and insight to bear on a question many Americans have been asking since 9/11: how did this happen? Mamdani dispels the idea of “good” (secular, westernized) and “bad” (premodern, fanatical) Muslims, pointing out that these judgments refer to political rather than cultural or religious identities. The presumption that there are “good” Muslims readily available to be split off from “bad” Muslims masks a failure to make a political analysis of our times. This book argues that political Islam emerged as the result of a modern encounter with Western power,... more...

  • Sense and Sensualityby Ravi Zacharias

    The Doubleday Religious Publishing Group 2010; US$ 9.99

    WHY versus WHY NOT?   Why did God place us in a world full of pleasures if we aren’t meant to pursue them all?   In an imaginative dialogue, Oscar Wilde asks Jesus Christ to respond to this question about critical lifestyle choices. Their talk vividly illustrates the arguments for both sensual pleasure-seeking and moral moderation.   Playwright, dramatist, poet, critic—Wilde openly defied the mores of Victorian society. His literary repartee fueled an “if it feels good, do it” humanistic philosophy that is still prevalent in the world today.   SO WHAT does JESUS SAY? From the Trade Paperback edition. more...

Subramaniam asks Jesus and Krishna hard questions about faith. Meanwhile, a fictional character, Richard, eavesdrops, asking himself the most important question of all: Does it really matter what I believe? From the Hardcover edition. more...
