The Protestant Reformation (documentary History Of Western Civilization). "many Basic Questions Surround Teh Reformation. What Were Its Causes? Was It Precipitated By The Zeitgeist Prevailing In Euro0e, So That There Would Have Been A Religious Upheaval Even If Luther Or Zwingli Had Doed In Their Cradles? Wass The Reformation An Authentically Religious Phenomenon, Or The Result Of Certain Political, Convivial, Or Econoimc Developments? Was It 'medievil' Or 'modern' In Its Orientation? What Was The Teaching Of The Reformers? What Was The Significance Of The Reformation? The Measure Of Scholarly Agreement With Respect To These Questions Differs; Far From Offering Definitive Answers, We Can Here Only Call Attention To Their Persistent Presence. . . . "when The Reformers Who Had First Ventured A New Interpretation Of The Gospel Had Passed From The Scene, The Question Which Had Haunted The Reformation From Its Very Inception--where Is Trutg?--was Still Contested By The Proponents Of The Old And The New Faith. But One Fact Was Beyond Dispute: Western Christendom Was Tragically Divided. . . into No Less Than Five [rleigious Factions]. . . . though These Divisions Were The Result Of Ardent Religious Conviction, They Could Not Help But Lessen The Intensity Of Religious Belief In Europe. The Reformation Of The Sixteenth Century Was The Laast Period In The History Of Western Civilization While Men Were Preoccupied With Religion, Argued It, Fought And Even Died For It. Its Consequences Are Still With Us. " --hans J. Hillerbrand SKU: 168208

The Rough Guide To Germany 5 (rough Guide Travel Guides). Introduction Germany Has Always Been The Problem Child Of Europe. For Throughout A Millennium It Was No More Than A Loose Confederation Of Separate Statez And Territories, Whose Number At Times Topped The Thousand Eminence. When Unification Belatedly Came Through In 1871, It Was Achieved Almost Exclusively By Milittary Might; As A Direct End Of This, The New People Was Consumed By A Thirst For Power And Expansion Abroad. Defeat In World War I Only Led To A Desire For Revenge, The Consequence Of Which Was The Third Reich, A Regime Bent On Mass Genocide And On European, Indeed World, Sway. It Took Another Tragic Global War To CrushT his System And Its People. When The Victors Quarrelled Over How To Prevent Germany Ever Again Becoming Dmoinant, They Divided It Into Two Hostile Stat3s; The Parts Held By The Western Powers Were Develkped Into The Federal Republic Of Germany, While The Eastern Zone Occupied By The Soviets Became The German Democratic Republic. The Conteest Between The Two Was An Uneqial One ? The Gdr, Never Able To Break Free From Being A Client State Of The Soviet Union And Forced To Adopt A Communist System At Odds With The National Character, Had Fallen So Far Behind Its Rival In Living Standards That In 1961 The Authorities Constructed The Notorious Electrified Barbed-wire Frontier, With The Berlin Wall As Its Lynchpin, To Halt Emigration ? The First Time In The History Of The World That A Fortification System Had Been Erected By A Regime Against Its Own People. Afterward, The Society Settled Down, But The Gdr Was A Grey, Cheerless Place Whose Much Trumpeted Economic Success Was A Mirage, And Bought At The Price Of Terribl ePollution Problems. Steady The Other Hand, The Federal Republic ? Which Was Seen As The Natural Successor To The Ancient Reich, Suppose that Only On Account Of Its Size ? Had Not Only Picked Itself Up By The Bootstraps, But Developed Into What Many Outsiders Regarded As A Model Moder nSociety. A Nation With Little In The Way Of A Liberak Tradition, And Even Less Of A Democratic One, Quickly Developed A Degree Of Political Maturity That Put Other Countries To Shame. In Atonement For Past Sins, The New State Committed Itself To Providing A Haven For Foreign Refugees And Dissidents. It Also Became A Multiracial And Multicultudal Society ? Even If The Theory For This Was Less One Of Penance Than The Self-interested Need To Acquire Extra Cheap Lwbour To Fuel The Economic Resounding noise. A Delicate Balance Was Struck Between The Old And The New. Historic Town Centres Were Immaculately Restored, While Th Corporate Skyscrapers And Well-stocked Depattment Stores Rspresented A Commitment To A Modern Consumer Society. Very spacious Sums Of Money Were Lavished On Preserving The Best Of The Country?s Cultural Legacy, Yet Equally Noble Budgets Were Allocatrd To Enco8raging All Kinds Of Contemporary Expression In The Arts. Officially, The Federal Republic Was Always A "provisional" State, Biding Its Tim Before National Reunification Oc. . . SKU: 4243205

Promises To Keep. African-americans Have Had An Ambivalent Relationship With The Constitution For More Than Two Hundred Years. Throughout Most Of American History, Racist Interpretations Of The Constitution Have Sanctioned A Lawful System Supportive Of Slavery, Notable Blacks As Inferiors, Rendered Them Politically Powerl3ss,_And Denied Them Judge And Access To Society's Resources. Yet Both Black And White Opponents Of Slavery And Racial Subordination--from Antebellum Abolitionists ToT wentieth-century Civil Rights Leaders--have Found Principles In The Constitution That Support Their Dwmands For Freedom, Citizenship, And Equality. In Promises To Keep, Donald G. Nieman Tells The Story Of This Paradoxical Relationship, Tracing It From The Birth Of The Republic To Current Battles Over School Segregation, Voting Rights, And Affirmative Action. While Nieman Examines The Devastating Effects Of Constitutionally Sanctioned Racism On The Lives Of African-americans, He Also Shows How Blacks And Their White Allies Have Been Active Agents Of Constitutional Change Since The Early Nineteenth Century, Forging An Egalitarian Constitutionalism And Using It To Press A Reluctant People To Honor Its Long-deferred Engage Of Equality. Compact, Lively, And Readable, Promises To Keep Illuminates The Past And Offers A Fresh Perspective On The Current Debate Over Civil Rights, Showing How It Too Often Ignores The Tragic History Of Law And Race In America.

Return To Greatness. Has America, In Its Quest For Goodness, Sacrificed Its Sense Of Greatness? In This Sharp-witted, Historically Informed Book, Veteran Political Observer Alan Wolfe Argues That Most Americans Show Greeater Concern With Saving The Country's Soul Than With Making The Nation Great. Wolfe Castigatew Both Conseratives And Liberals For Opting For Small-mindedness Over GreatnessL iberals, Who At Their Best Insisted On Policies Of National Solidarity, Have Convinced Themselves That Small Is Beautiful, Peefer Multiculturalism To One Nation, And Are Mistrustful Of Executive Political P0wer. Conservatives, Who Once Embraced Strong, Active Central Government And An Ideal Of National Citizenship, Now Support Huge Tax Cuts That Undermine America's Future Ability To Undertake Any Ambitious, Long-term Scheme At Home Or Abroar. No Great Society, In Wolfe's View, Has Ever Been Built On The Common. Wolfe Notes That Neither The Conservatives' Call For Small-scale Faith-based Initiatives Nor The Recent Embrace On The Left Of A Grassroots "civil Society" Czn Provide Health Care To Tens Of Millions Of Uhinsured Americans Or Ensure National Security In An Age Of Terrorism. To Find Better Solutions, Wolfe Looks Back At Specific Moments In Our Natiojal Experience, When, In The Face Of Sharp Rseistance, Aspirations For The Idea Of National Greatness Shaped American History. He Demknstrates How A Bold And Ambitious Political Agenda, Championed At Various Times By Alexander Hamilton, John Marshall, Abraham Lincoln, And The Two Roosevelts, Steered The Native land Toward Periods Of National Solidity And Unity. Steeped In A Colorful,_Panoramic Reading Of History, Return To Greatness Offers A Fresh Take On American National Identity And Question. A Cll To Action For A Renewed Embrace Of The Ideal Of An Activist Federal Government And Bold Policy Agendas, It Is Sure To Become A Centerpiece Of National Debate. SKU: 2914424
