Denial of Sudduceism in Salem: Caught in a Devil's Cloyster for Witches , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 190min

Denial of Sadduceism in Salem: Caught in a Devil's Cloyster for Witches explores what it might have been like to live in Salem Village in the years between 1689 and 1693. Sadduceism was the belief that no such thing as ghosts, demons, witches, and other supernatural beings existed. To the minds of many who lived in that era that indicated a disbelief in God and in the teachings of the Bible. The King James translation of the Bible had been published in 1611, so educated people would have been able to read it. In England and in the Thirteen Colonies, people could be executed not only for the practice of witchcraft, but also for being Quakers, or for having any religion which deviated from the predominant beliefs, which were for the most part Puritanism and Calvinism. Among the Puritans of Salem Village, women were often heard, but had little real power. Women who were slaves, indentured servants or natives had even less power. It is into this environment that we bring a woman who is a Quaker, has already been imprisoned once for her beliefs, and has been trained as a midwife and doctor. She is, by all definitions, a Sadduceist - that is, a woman who believes in rational explanations for the events of the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Johnston.

The Revolutionary City (eBook, ePUB)

How and why cities have become the predominant sites for revolutionary upheavals in the contemporary worldExamining the changing character of revolution around the world, The Revolutionary City focuses on the impact that the concentration of people, power, and wealth in cities exercises on revolutionary processes and outcomes. Once predominantly an urban and armed affair, revolutions in the twentieth century migrated to the countryside, as revolutionaries searched for safety from government repression and discovered the peasantry as a revolutionary force. But at the end of the twentieth century, as urban centers grew, revolution returned to the city-accompanied by a new urban civic repertoire espousing the containment of predatory government and relying on visibility and the power of numbers rather than arms.Using original data on revolutionary episodes since 1900, public opinion surveys, and engaging examples from around the world, Mark Beissinger explores the causes and consequences of the urbanization of revolution in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Beissinger examines the compact nature of urban revolutions, as well as their rampant information problems and heightened uncertainty. He investigates the struggle for control over public space, why revolutionary contention has grown more pacified over time, and how revolutions involving the rapid assembly of hundreds of thousands in central urban spaces lead to diverse, ad hoc coalitions that have difficulty producing substantive change.The Revolutionary City provides a new understanding of how revolutions happen and what they might look like in the future.

Facing the Sky , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min

Although there were a lot of normal and good things about my childhood, I hesitate to say my life was "normal". My life was shadowed by several predominant circumstances which shaped my early responses to the world and wrote the scripts that consciously and unconsciously dwelled in my daily thoughts. My world was interwoven with frequent migraine headaches, insecurity, anxiety, sexual victimization, and the slow effect of my father's growing alcoholism. It is not my intention to paint a horrific picture of daily or continual abuse and molestation. I was not a victim of continual abuse, nor was I constantly exposed to molestation. This however is one reason I share my story. Like me, there are many who live (or have lived) in "normal" circumstances and suffer in silence regarding the crimes made against them. By age 14, the weight of the world crushed down upon me, and I walked into the arms of imprisonment - an imprisonment that could have lasted a lifetime. It was at this time that I willingly, yet unknowingly, compromised myself thinking I had control. But soon, the imprisoning walls of the world I had chosen would take control of me. This is a true story of my childhood, written to make a difference and help victims and survivors know they can conquer. Sound effects are used at significant moments throughout the audio and to separate each entry of the Diary of Memories chapter.

Deification of Man in Christianity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 42min

Deification is the transformation of man into god through the grace of God. Predominant in the theology of eastern Christianity, but marginalized and obscured in contemporary interpretations of the theology of western Christianity, deification, not just salvation, as Marcelle Bartolo-Abela explores, is what was and remains the intent of God for mankind, with deification occurring not solely in patria, but in via in patria. This is an understanding of deification which has been largely lost and needs to be recovered in the western Church. Examining the works of the Church Fathers on both sides of the East-West divide in Christianity, Bartolo-Abela shows that rather than being restricted to the East, deification was featured consistently in many theological works popular in the West, with the most prominent being those of Aquinas, Augustine, Hilary of Poitiers, Irenaeus, and Jerome. Bartolo-Abela argues that it was deification, not just salvation as commonly understood, that was also inherently referred to by Paul VI in the universal call to holiness found in Lumen Gentium, the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church. Deification is the process of man becoming god and attaining theoria, seeing God, after purification of the heart and illumination of the heart of the soul have ensued through baptism in the Holy Spirit, as understood throughout tradition. Deification from this life, not solely the next, is the desire of God for mankind in accord with the words of Christ and Peter, "I said you are gods" (Jn 10:34) and "partakers of the divine nature" (2 P 1:4). ungekürzt.

Civic Engagement, Civil Society, and Philanthropy in the US, Romania & Mexico , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min

Living in the United States has put me in a great position of perspective. This is why I had to leave my country of origin, beautiful Transylvania behind, and my parents. And this was excruciatingly painful for us, and for my own community in Romania. So I decided I keep my country, and my new adoptive country to a higher standard, and ask more accountability from Despots in power.Ironically Trump turned out to be a despot, a nazi style president himself.Socialism, communism, fascism and Nazism are all but dead now. They have failed miserably. But they have been replaced by what is merely another more watered-down form of collectivism that may be called "interventionism". Indeed, interventionism is the predominant economic system in the world today.Contrary to the doctrine of laissez-faire capitalism, in the real world there are prolonged periods when market forces cannot self-correct in time to best serve the common good. Resulting social instability can only be corrected by government action.The crisis of statism, the rise of ultra-Liberalism which opposes all intervention in the “free market” (as suggested in the Ebeling quote above), and the recent development of what I call Decentralized-Liberalism (as suggested in the Soros quote above) provide the context for this audiobook in which civic society proposes intervention in the market to ease the blows of globalization.The double recession we are crossing through, in 2008, and now in 2012, the “double-dip” recession requires new thinking and favors George Soros’ common good interventionist state theory is winning hearts all over the globe.Although since the process of rapid globalization begun (since the 1980s with Reagan and Thatcher) has been widely studied and the new role of civil society has crucial importance. ungekürzt.
