Chaos becoming cosmos - we are participants and recipients in its meaning and marvels. ''Human beings and our ancestors have been meaning seekers and meaning makers even before our most ancient beginnings.

Do we belong?''-from the Introduction.

O ataque terrorista cometido contra israelenses no dia 7 de outubro de 2023 entrou para a história como o pior ato de violência contra os judeus desde o Holocausto. No dia seguinte, em vez de condenação total do ato, o mundo testemunhou uma prova da desordem moral do Ocidente no século XXI: nas universidades, nas ruas e na imprensa, as pessoas tomaram partido não dos judeus, mas de seus assassinos. Como isso aconteceu? Por que tantos membros das elites educadas deram de ombros diante do pior pogrom antissemita em quase 80 anos? Por que “antifascistas” se aproximaram dos fascistas do Hamas?

How should the church relate to the world? Nearly everyone agrees that the church should be making this world better, but we keep clashing about how to do so. We all want God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven, but deep disagreements about how to get there keep fracturing Christ’s body and tainting our testimony. Jesus was right: our witness to the world depends on our unity and our love for one another. In recent years, we've been failing at both. Political partisanship and constant infighting have wounded the vulnerable and driven countless people from the pews.

What explains the existence of the world and our place in it? Is there a primal cause beyond our comprehension because our intelligence is part of the very world we seek to understand? The author asserts that such a cause exists and identifies it as what ancient Indian thinkers termed the End of Knowledge.

First, these insights offer a new, deeper understanding of our own nature.

The Protestant Reformation is often associated most closely with Martin Luther, and it’s often considered to have started when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. However, the Reformation cannot be reduced to a single, abrupt, and exceptional event, but must be traced to a much longer process of spiritual, social, and intellectual transformation that unfolded over the late medieval period.

Across continents and centuries, societies repeatedly killed in the name of belief, order, and necessity.

Public Policy is an independent discipline from both law and politics. Thus, Public Policy in Islam is introduced here as a qualitatively different enterprise from both fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and siyasah shar’iyyah (Shariah-oriented politics).
