Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Apocalypse Now?, Duncan Forrester argues that disorders and atrocities including the Gulag, the Holocaust, 9/11, the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and the Tsunami disaster have shown us that we stand in the midst of an apocalyptic age of terror with striking similarities to the time in which Christianity was born. He asks how religious ideas can play a positive role in the midst of conflicts and disasters and argues that there are huge resources in the Christian tradition that can be productively deployed for a constructive and faithful response. |
