Paperback. Zustand: Good. 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. Carlos Eire talks about what drew him to accounts of flying saints. Fleming Rutledge says true preaching is letting the Holy Spirit speak through you. Rachel Pieh Jones recounts dreams of Jesus that changed two lives continents apart. Charles E. Moore tells a story of demon possession, revival, and miraculous healings that weren't coincidental. Benjamin Crosby asks what "gifts of the spirit" should mark the follower of Jesus. Also in this issue: André Trocmé tells how his town offered sanctuary to thousands of Jews facing deportation. Anti-Nazi theologian Henri de Lubac has a message for today's Christian nationalists. Mary Townsend gives up her smartphone and starts noticing things. Hannah Rose Thomas paints portraits of mothers who survived the Srebrenica massacre. The winning poems in Plough's fifth annual Rhina Espaillat Poetry Award. Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face. Each issue includes in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "In recent years the discussion of imperialism has become so compartmentalized that it is difficult for somebody who is not directly involved to put the often polemical discussion and the various scientific and political positions forward into a relevant context. Mommsen's survey is an excellent guide."--German Studies, on the German edition. "Theories of Imperialism is the most succinct, fairest, and most sophisticated statement I have seen of the range of theories of imperialism. Each set of theorists is come at in their own terms, described fairly, and summarized fully. The book is objective, readable, and short."--Robin W. Winks, Yale University.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What is a family and what is it good for? Story 1: Families are in crisis, and the cause is moral breakdown. We urgently need a deep renewal of our family culture, supported by public policies that strengthen traditional marriage and encourage childbearing. Story 2: Families are in crisis, and the cause is capitalism. We need structural changes in society so that all families can flourish: parental leave, guaranteed healthcare, flexible work hours for parents, restorative justice. What if both these stories are true? This issue of Plough reflects on what a family is and what it is for, so that the transformations needed to solve the crisis of the family start from a firm basis, not a nostalgic ideal or progressive theorizing. As always, we take as a starting point the teachings of Jesus. It turns out his idea of family values might not be what people think. He calls us to extend our natural love for our biological family to a vast new throng of siblings ? a family of many ethnicities and cultures that includes the widowed, the unmarried, the outsider, and the stranger. In this issue: - Ross Douthat asks what is stopping people from having the one more child they desire. - Edwidge Danticat says families are not nuclear. - Gina Dalfonzo reveals what singles know best about the church as family. - Norann Voll remembers a Jewish woman who escaped the Holocaust and married a German. - W. Bradford Wilcox and Alysse ElHage report on how the Covid pandemic has impacted the family. - Noah Van Niel asks whether masculinity is OK anymore. - Cardinal Christoph Schönborn reflects the burden of family history, celibacy, and monument toppling. - Sarah C. Williams pinpoints the source of feminist pioneer Josephine Butler?s daring. - Rabbi Jonathan Sacks begins the story of marriage 385 million years ago in a lake in Scotland. - Zito Madu recalls how his father?s amazing storytelling saved the past from oblivion. You?ll also find: - M. M. Townsend on what Louisa May Alcott and Simone de Beauvoir had in common - A special announcement about Plough?s new poetry contest: the Rhina Espaillat Poetry Award - A reading from G. K. Chesterton - Two new poems by Rachel Hadas - Reviews of Eric Edstrom?s Un-American, Maya Schenwar and Victoria Law?s Prison by Any Other Name, Brian Doyle?s One Long River of Song, and Martín Caparrós?s Hunger Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action.
