Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Gone are the flat-earth days of scientific rationalism. Humans, it turns out, are naturally hungry for mystery, magic, faith. There have been laments about disenchantment and calls for re-enchantment. Many who forsake traditional religion are drawn to spiritualism and pagan beliefs and practices. Christians, meanwhile, have always affirmed that there is more than meets our eyes, that our world is teeming with angels and demons, powers and principalities, signs and wonders. The "supernatural" is real; in fact, it's entirely natural. Whether you believe it or not, there are powers you should rightly fear, and one you should serve.On this theme:Joy Marie Clarkson debunks the idea that our world needs re-enchantment. Andrew Davison surveys the unseen world's place in our cosmology. Alison Milbank considers the matter of angels as creatures like and unlike us.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Beauty holds out a promise, but can we trust it Nature is so beautiful it must mean something. Christians have seen in the beauty of creation a sign of the beauty of the Creator; the natural world teaches us to know the "author of beauty." But anyone who starts thinking more seriously about beauty soon runs into more troubling aspects.We're more awash with images than ever before, many of them doctored or artificial. Any idealized beauty that excludes humankind's imperfection and vulnerability is prone to becoming inhuman. And even the wholesome beauty of nature or the fine arts is only a partial truth in a world where children starve or are trafficked to abusers. Yet stubbornly, beauty remains. Through trees, gargoyles, paintings, and fellow humans, the writers in this issue ask hard questions to deepen our understanding and appreciation of the good, the true, and the beautiful.On this theme:Natalie Carnes revisits Christianity's love-hate relationship with sacred art: Are those icons or idols Brandon Vaidyanathan says his mother's mental illness changed the way he sees human beauty.Sean Rubin tells how his mother found Jesus at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Sergio Bermudez views Paris from the perspective of Notre-Dame Cathedral's grotesques and gargoyles.Cardinal Christoph Schönborn reflects on Michaelangelo's Last Judgement during a conclave.Ben Quash looks at how beauty has shaped Christian imagination, from Absalom's hair to English gardens.Philip Holsinger sees the future of El Salvador in one bright, carefree child.Caitrin Keiper searches for meaning in the loss of her unborn baby.Chris Voll profiles a sculptor who left a promising career to care for his dying father.Also in this issue:Six new poems by Wendell Berry.Paul Kingsnorth offers six ways to resist the Machine.The Bruderhof's rule about gossip was written in 1925.

Neuware - What is our place in nature Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have has exercised unprecedented dominance over nature, with consequences that are now catching up with us.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How can we live well with tech, without it becoming our master These days, the heady promises of Silicon Valley seem suspect: the internet didn't bring all of humanity together; neither did smartphones or social media. We have long since stopped associating tech with utopian visions of global harmony, instead blaming it for distraction, polarization, addictions to porn and gambling, the trivialization of culture, loss of privacy and work-life balance, and fears that automation may push millions out of a job. Advances in artificial intelligence seem poised to bring us to the next technological watershed. It's a good time to ask how we can learn to live well with tech, and how we might push back against technologies that shape humans in anti-human ways.On this theme: Find out why computers can't do math and humans can. When parenting from prison, a little tech can make a big difference. Glucose monitoring systems transform life for children with diabetes.
