Was bedeutet radikaler Humanismus? Gibt es Grenzen der Einfühlung in andere? Wozu verpflichtet uns die Erinnerung an die Geschichte? Gibt es Grenzen der Pflicht, im Namen der Menschenrechte zu sprechen?

How did the shift from matriarchy to patriarchy come about? In fascinating detail, Merlin Stone tells us the story of the Goddess who reigned supreme in the Near and Middle East. Under her reign, societal roles differed markedly from those in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures: women bought and sold property, traded in the marketplace, and inherited title and land from their mothers.

We talk about privacy the way we talk about clean air: as something we once had in abundance and are now carelessly using up. The historical record tells a stranger story. For most of the human past there were no corridors, no locks worth the name, no envelopes, no curtains, and no expectation whatsoever that a person might pass an evening unobserved. Privacy was not stolen from our ancestors. It was built, slowly and expensively, out of chimneys, plaster, cheap glass, sealing wax, and a set of manners that taught people to pretend they had not heard.

The Second World Wars examines how combat unfolded in the air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war. Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, Victor Davis Hanson argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war, they had no hope of victory.  

Historian Calvin Schermerhorn traces four hundred years of Black dispossession and decapitalization—what Frederick Douglass called plunder—through the stories of families who have strived to earn and keep the fruits of their toils. Their struggles reveal that the ever-evolving strategies to strip Black income and wealth have been critical to sustaining a structure of racialized disadvantage. These accounts also tell of the quiet heroism of those who worked to overcome obstacles and defy the plunder.

"No women need apply." Western towns looking for a local doctor during the frontier era often concluded their advertisements in just that manner. Yet apply they did. And in small towns all over the West, highly trained women from medical colleges in the East took on the post of local doctor to...

A few minutes before midnight on April 14, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage to New York, struck an iceberg. Less than three hours later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. While the world has remained fascinated by the tragedy, the most amazing drama of those fateful hours was not played out aboard the doomed liner. It took place on the decks of two other ships, one 58 miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away.

Die alte Waschkäthe saß in ihrem Stübchen im einsamen Berghüttchen und schaute nachdenklich auf ihre gekrümmten Hände, die sie vor sich auf die Knie gelegt hatte. Bis der letzte Abendschein hinter den fernen Waldhöhen verglommen war, hatte sie fleißig an ihrem Spinnrad gearbeitet. Jetzt hatte sie es ein wenig beiseite gerückt, die Hände mussten müde sein, die so gekrümmt und abgearbeitet aussahen.

“The history of Satan, prince of the demonic world, is the story of one of the weirdest of man’s illusions,” writes McCabe. In this text, McCabe treats the devil essentially as a creature of folklore, originating in prehistoric times. He demonstrates how the influence of belief in the devil has dwindled dramatically with the spread of scientific investigation and rationality.

Popmusik der späten 70er und 80er war mehr als Soundtrack – sie war Gefühl, Schutzraum, Identität. Und doch wussten wir kaum, wie diese Platten entstanden. In „Der Sound unserer Jugend. Und was wir damals nicht wussten" nimmt Jörg Hackeschmidt seine Leser mit in eine Zeit, in der man mit Freunden über Songs sprach und alles in sie hineinlegte. Er erzählt persönlich und präzise, was hinter dem neuen Klang steckte: Studio-Tricks, Produzenten, Texte – vom Phil-Collins-Drum-Sound bis zu ABC, Madonna oder Sade.

But one day, he finds a wilted bunch of flowers and a book on the flat rock where he always sits. The book contains sketches and musings, clearly by an unmarried woman. The narrator finds a way to return the book, with his own message and an unlikely and mysterious correspondence begins, from which it becomes clear that this is the start of a strange unknown quest.

Soviet socialism was based on paradoxes that were revealed by the peculiar experience of its collapse. To the people who lived in that system the collapse seemed both completely unexpected and completely unsurprising. At the moment of collapse it suddenly became obvious that Soviet life had always seemed simultaneously eternal and stagnating, vigorous and ailing, bleak and full of promise. Although these characteristics may appear mutually exclusive, in fact they were mutually constitutive.

A voice from out of the past reminds us of radical issues which have not yet been resolved by the Reformation, nor even by Christians living in this modern age. This book reveals that the early church existed, even thrived with only the Holy Spirit guiding her. No formal programs . . . each day was different. No paid clergy . . . the brothers and sisters shared Christ.
