The world turned upside down : the global battle over god, truth, and power / by Phillips, Melanie,1951-(CARDINAL)514243;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Cults and conspiracies from Diana to Obama -- The myth of environmental Armageddon -- The Iraq War -- The misrepresentation of Israel -- Scientific triumphalism -- The secular inquisition -- The Middle East witch-hunt -- The jihad against Western freedom -- Islamic Jew-hatred -- Western Jew-hatred -- The red-black-green-Islamic axis -- The quest for redemption -- How enlightenment unraveled -- The attack on Western civilization -- Reason and the Bible -- Why Britain is in the forefront -- The revival of Christian Jew-hatred -- The disenchantment of reason.In what we tell ourselves is an age of reason, we are behaving increasingly irrationally. An astonishing number of people subscribe to celebrity-endorsed cults, Mayan Armageddon prophecies, scientism, and other varieties of New Age, anti-enlightenment philosophies. Millions more advance popular conspiracy theories. Here, Melanie Phillips explains that the basic cause of this explosion of irrationality is the slow but steady marginalization of religion. We tell ourselves that faith and reason are incompatible, but the opposite is the case. It was Christianity and the Hebrew Bible, Phillips asserts, that gave us our concepts of reason, progress, and an orderly world on which science and modernity are based. Without its religious traditions, the West has drifted into mass derangement where truth and lies, right and wrong, victim and aggressor are all turned upside down. Worst of all, asserts Phillips, this abandonment of rationality leaves the West vulnerable to legitimate threats.--From publisher description.

Speaking of faith / by Tippett, Krista.(CARDINAL)482872;
Genesis : how we got here -- Remembering forwards -- Rethinking religious truth -- Speaking of faith -- Exposing virtue -- Confessing mystery.As a journalist and then a diplomat, author Tippett was enthralled by the promise of political solutions to divisive issues. When politics failed tp provide worthy answers, she attended Yale Divinity School to pursue larger questions about what makes a meaningful life. In her quest for faith's illumination of life's complexities, passions, and frailties, she developed a style of discourse--a "life of conversation"--that she now shares with millions of people every week via her public radio program. Tippett's in-depth conversations with theologians, scientists, ethicists, and seekers who share their experiences, combined with her engaging style, are revolutionizing the way many think and speak of faith in their families and communities and in the larger world.--From publisher description.
