Idealism vs. Practicality.- In the course of his education, Beaven is torn between two philosophies: the cold pragmatism of Dr. Forster and the humanistic attitudes of kindly Dr. Cunningham. The crisis within Beaven comes to a head when he must choose between his career and his impending marriage to Audrey Hilton. A literally explosive climax in war-torn China brin

"While attempts to come to terms with past catastrophe . . . can help prevent its recurrence, they may also provide arguments for . . . actions against the real or imagined perpetrators of previous disasters. The confrontation with . . . catastrophe can help us understand the roots and nature of this century’s destructive urges, as well as humanity’s extraordinary recuperative capacities; but it can also legitimize the perpetuation of violence and aggression." —from the Introduction Omer Bartov, a leading scholar of the Wehrmacht and the Holocaust, provides a critical analysis of var

In this book, a leading philosopher of religion offers fresh insights into some of the disputed religious questions of our time. John Hick discusses, for example, whether religion is a wish-fulfilling projection or a human response to the Transcendent; how to solve the problems encountered by attributing to Jesus both all divine and all human properties; and why he believes that the major world faiths are different but equally valid responses to ultimate Reality.

"In a major study that moves between path-breaking theorizing and analysis that is relevant to today’s headlines, the author examines the process by which states expand and contract. . . .
