[EAN: 9781594033759], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Encounter Books, New York], NON FICTION THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN GLOBAL BATTLE OVER GOD TRUTH POWER THEOLOGY RELIGION, Jacket, Hardcover. The World Turned Upside Down. The Global Battle Over God, Truth and Power. Very slight shelf wear to corners of D/J. In what we tell ourselves in an age of reason, we are behaving increasingly irrationally. More and more people are signing up to weird and wacky cults, parapsychology, seances, paganism and witchcraft. There is widespread belief in ludicrous conspiracy theories, such as the 9/11 terrorist attack being an American plot, and a similar credulousness to propaganda on issues such as the Middle East conflict or global warning. The basic cause of all this unreason is the erosion of the building blocks of Western civilization. We tell ourselves that religion and reason are incompatible, but in fact the opposite is the case. It was Christianity and the Hebrew Bible that gave us our concepts of reason, progress and an orderly world - the foundations of science and modernity.The loss of religious belief has meant the West has replaced reason and truth with ideology and prejudice, which it enforces in the manner of a secular inquisition. 486 pp., Books<
