Their Iron Indignation - John Lloyd - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Their Iron Indignation - John Lloyd - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Europe''s advancing new Far Right is among the most consequential movements of our time. Its leaders have long been labelled, perhaps dismissed, as populist--but parties with programmes of radical social, cultural and economic change have now formed governments or coalitions; more still are tipped to win their country''s next election; all have national followings; and their combined force could destabilise the EU. How far might they go? From Poland, Hungary and Italy to Sweden, France and Germany, Their Iron Indignation uncovers the road to power among politicians revered and reviled for their opposition to immigration, globalisation and the European project, their appeal to working people, and their warnings of perceived threats to traditional family life. It traces New Right parties'' successes and failures in government, probes their claims to have severed ties with any fascist or Nazi roots, and explores their links to Russia and the MAGA/Trump movement. Reporting from illegal migrant camps and political rallies, interviewing leaders, followers and opponents, veteran journalist John Lloyd brings to life the complexity and influence of these parties, whose programmes are potentially revolutionary. Understanding their attraction, and what they do with power once they have it, has become urgently important.

I Judge No One - David Lloyd Dusenbury - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

I Judge No One - David Lloyd Dusenbury - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Why was Jesus, who said ‘I judge no one’, put to death for a political crime? Of course, this is a historical question—but it is not only historical. Jesus’s life became a philosophical theme in the first centuries of our era, when ‘pagan’ and Christian philosophers clashed over the meaning of his sayings and the significance of his death. Modern philosophers, too, such as Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche, have tried to retrace the arc of Jesus’s life and death. I Judge No One is a philosophical reading of the four memoirs, or ‘gospels’, that were fashioned by early Christ-believers and collected in the New Testament. It offers original ways of seeing a deeply enigmatic figure who calls himself the Son of Man.David Lloyd Dusenbury suggests that Jesus offered his contemporaries a scandalous double claim. First, that human judgements are pervasive and deceptive; and second, that even divine laws can only be fulfilled in the human experience of love. Though his life led inexorably to a grim political death, what Jesus’s sayings revealed—and still reveal—is that our highest desires lie beyond the political.

The Innocence of Pontius Pilate - David Lloyd Dusenbury - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Innocence of Pontius Pilate - David Lloyd Dusenbury - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The gospels and ancient historians agree: Jesus was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman imperial prefect in Jerusalem. To this day, Christians of all churches confess that Jesus died ''under Pontius Pilate''. But what exactly does that mean? Within decades of Jesus'' death, Christians began suggesting that it was the Judaean authorities who had crucified Jesus--a notion later echoed in the Qur''an. In the third century, one philosopher raised the notion that, although Pilate had condemned Jesus, he''d done so justly; this idea survives in one of the main strands of modern New Testament criticism. So what is the truth of the matter? And what is the history of that truth? David Lloyd Dusenbury reveals Pilate''s ''innocence'' as not only a neglected theological question, but a recurring theme in the history of European political thought. He argues that Jesus'' interrogation by Pilate, and Augustine of Hippo''s North African sermon on that trial, led to the concept of secularity and the logic of tolerance emerging in early modern Europe. Without the Roman trial of Jesus, and the arguments over Pilate''s innocence, the history of empire--from the first century to the twenty-first--would have been radically different.

Venizelos - Michael Llewellyn Smith - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Venizelos - Michael Llewellyn Smith - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Eleftherios Venizelos (1864–1936) was the outstanding Greek statesman of the first half of the twentieth century. Michael Llewellyn-Smith traces his early years, political apprenticeship in Crete, and energetic role in that island's emancipation from both Ottoman rule and the arbitrary rule of Prince George of Greece. Summoned to Athens in 1910 by a cabal of officers, Venizelos mastered the Greek political scene, sent the military back to barracks, and led the country through a glorious period of constitutional and political reform, ending in a Balkan alliance waging successful war against Ottoman rule in Europe. By 1914, Greece had doubled in territory and population, and was about to face the challenges of European war. Tensions were rising between the king and the prime minister, foreshadowing political schism. This book illuminates Venizelos' political mastery, liberalism and nationalism, and traces his fateful friendship with David Lloyd George. A second volume will complete his story, with the Great War, the post-war peace settlement, Greece's Asia Minor disaster, and Venizelos' late years of renewed prime ministerial office, political polarisation and exile in Paris.
