On Reason $23.76 Given that Enlightenment rationality developed in Europe as European nations aggressively claimed other parts of the world for their own enrichment, scholars have made rationality the subject of postcolonial critique, questioning its universality and objectivity. In On Reason, the late philosopher Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze demonstrates that rationality, and by extension philosophy, need not be renounced as manifestations or tools of Western imperialism. Examining reason in connection to the politics of difference—the cluster of issues known variously as cultural diversity, political correctness, the culture wars, and identity politics—Eze expounds a rigorous argument that reason is produced through and because of difference. In so doing, he preserves reason as a human property while at the same time showing that it cannot be thought outside the realities of cultural diversity. Advocating rationality in a multicultural world, he proposes new ways of affirming both identity and difference.Eze draws on an extraordinary command of Western philosophical thought and a deep knowledge of African philosophy and cultural traditions. He explores models of rationality in the thought of philosophers from Aristotle, Ren Descartes, Francis Bacon, and Thomas Hobbes to Noam Chomsky, Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, and Jacques Derrida, and he considers portrayals of reason in the work of the African thinkers and novelists Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and Wole Soyinka. Eze reflects on contemporary thought about genetics, race, and postcolonial historiography as well as on the interplay between reason and unreason in the hearings of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He contends that while rationality may have a foundational formality, any understanding of its foundation and form is dynamic, always based in historical and cultural circumstances. |

The Reason $27.19 For The Reason, those nice suburban Californians in Hoobastank refine and shade in the concentric circles of their self-titled debut, but stay safely within its platinum figure eight. “Crawling in the Dark” was the contoured heart of that album. Its combination of enormous rock chorus and elastic dreamboat vocals made Hoobastank stars and established their sound — not original, but firmly rooted in the rousing voice of Doug Robb and guitarist Dan Estrin’s slick post-grunge concoctions. Despite the usual pressure to produce another “Crawling,” the songwriting duo seems to have largely been left alone for The Reason. Naturally, the presence of boffo big producer Howard Benson ensures the album’s impeccable sonic accessibility. Robb’s voice breaks at just the right time and for maximum emotional resonance, while the music ebbs and flows effortlessly between aggressive rockers and more introspective material. But for the most part, what you hear is what you get. Strings do pop up on a few songs, and here and there the harmonies seem too rich for reality. But these additional elements never overshadow the foursome’s work. The strings punch up “Lucky”‘s already uplifting chorus (the acoustic verses are a nice touch, too), while they’re a lush bed of down pillows for the somewhat sappy title track. It’s not that Robb’s words throughout The Reason aren’t genuine. Lyrics like “I’m not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you,” “So what should I do, just lay next to you as though I’m unaffected?,” and “There has to be somewhere that we can be safe from the lives we live each day” are delivered with real feeling. However, Hoobastank is still reducing teen angst (over love, escape, or a higher power) to digestible phrases, and writing sandpaper smooth rock symphonies around those couplets. So it’s a formula, and one that remains unchanged from the debut. But Robb, Estrin, bassist Markku Lappalainen, and drummer Chris Hesse are a better band now — endless touring will do that. “Same Direction” and “Just One” are standout anthems, raucous and righteous all at once. Lead single “Out of Control” lets Robb and Estrin shriek and shred with some reckless (yet still melodic and ready for radio) aggression. Meanwhile, the other, softer side of the band is represented best by “What Happened to Us?” and the drifting departure “Disappear,” which both unfold as much more focused versions of Hoobastank’s sometimes clunky attempts at nuance (think “To Be With You”). In the end, The Reason is really a better version of Hoobastank, written and played by more mature versions of Hoobastank. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi Performers: David Low – Cello; David Mergen – Cello; Evan Wilson – Viola; |

Excerpt: Saint Nicholas (Greek: , Agios Nikolaos ) (270 – 6 December 346) is the canonical and most popular name for Nicholas of Myra, a saint and Greek Bishop of Myra (Demre, in Lycia, part of modern-day Turkey). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose English name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas. His reputation evolved among the faithful, as is common for early Christian saints. In 1087, his relics were furtively translated to Bari, in southeastern Italy; for this reason, he is also known as, Nicholas of Bari. The historical Saint Nicholas is remembered and revered among Catholic and Orthodox Christians. He is also honoured by various Anglican and Lutheran churches. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, thieves, and child… More: |

They may have heard arguments urged against it, but to their minds these arguments appeared to be without weight, and so did not trouble their consciences.

A Spider Trap $9.99 Pope John Paul II – Tear down your wall of sins”As a victim of sexual abuse by an alcoholic, pedophile priest at the age of 11, I endorse this book and this message.” – Gerald Payne (June 11,2004)”A Spider’s Trap” the sequel to “Don’t Holler at Me, I Didn’t Write the Bible”, gives a vivid crisis of the problems that are embed throughout the Christian Bible that dove-tail precisely with the problems that are embed in the clergy within the Roman Catholic Church, as well as all denominations of religion established that are of the Christian faith.Don’t Holler at Me, I Didn’t Write the Bible first deals with the Bible. It was easy, and to be expected, mistakes were made, as they were hand copied and passed from one generation to the next. In many cases, the holder of a bird quill entered his or her own ideas into the manuscript. Under the best possible temperature control, and the best quality print materials, paper, ink, etc . . . like one might find in the Library of Congress manuscripts would hold its quality, at best, for just a few hundred years. For that reason history has only a few hundred years old manuscripts in existence today.The modern discovery of allegedly ancient manuscripts has caused some publicity-seeking individuals to endorse these recently discovered manuscripts as authentic. They are nothing more than forgeries, fakes that common sense dictates that no other decision needs to be considered.The second part of my sequel to Don’t Holler at Me, I Didn’t Write the Bible deals with the sexual abuse of children and young adults by the clergy of the Roman Catholic faith, starting in January of 1992 to December, 2003.

Alien Covenant: Genesis I $15.59 Alien Covenant: Genesis I explores the idea of ancient astronauts – humanoid aliens who came to Earth a long time ago and created safe havens and mankind. It presents a different story of creation, with an imaginative account of how the solar system came to be. As astronauts on a mission, God, Satan and the angels come alive in this revealing adaptation of the banned story of Adam and Eve, where lords and ladies require mono-atomic gold powder for everlasting life.A foreign legion of dragon-dog angels from the Planet of Fates, farming in the Garden of Eden and mining nearby, strike against God, who replaces them with hew-brutes and a hew-man called Adam. But Adam and his helper, Eve, mate against God’s law and are expelled into the wilderness. Is this part of God’s plan to lead his mission in a new direction? What are the Ancient Mysteries all about? Some may label this book as heresy, even blasphemy, but others who reason will smile at the cleverly suggested origins of names, stories, objects and customs from around the world.While in eighth grade at Catholic school, James Hansen questioned supernaturalism, especially miracles in The Holy Bible. He asked his teacher, “How come the miracles that happened thousands of years ago do not happen today?” Her answer – “It is a mystery.” – has been stuck in his mind ever since. James has researched mythology, religion, science and ancient astronauts for more than 40 years.He graduated from Oregon State University and attended graduate school at Harvard. Hansen lived in England for 10 years and has visited 22 countries, working for 24 years as a civil engineering assistant in the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a master sergeant. A recent lymphoma survivor, he lives in Oregon with his wife. Alien Covenant: Genesis I is his first book. |

Not illustrated. Excerpt: Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, near Orléans, FranceSacro Speco, at Subiaco, Italy Saint Benedict of Nursia (Italian: ) (480 547) is a Christian saint, honored by the Roman Catholic Church as the patron saint of Europe and students. Benedict founded twelve communities for monks at Subiaco, about 40 miles to the east of Rome, before moving to Monte Cassino in the mountains of southern Italy. There is no evidence that he intended to found a religious order. The Order of St Benedict is of modern origin and, moreover, not an “order” as commonly understood but merely a confederation of autonomous congregations. Benedict’s main achievement is his “Rule”, containing precepts for his monks. It is heavily influenced by the writings of John Cassian, and shows strong affinity with the Rule of the Master. But it also has a unique spirit of balance, moderation and reasonableness (, epieikeia), and this persuaded most religious communities founded throughout the Middle Ages to adopt it. As a result, the Rule of Benedict became one of the most influential religious rules in Western Christendom. For this reason Benedict is often called the founder of western Christian monasticism. Apart from a short poem, attributed to Mark of Monte Cassino, the only ancient account of Benedict is found in the second volume of Pope Gregory I’s four-book Dialogues, thought to have been written in 593. The authenticity of this work has been hotly disputed, especially by Dr Francis Clarke in his two volume work “The Pseudo-Gregorian Dialogues”. Book Two consists of a prologue and thirty-eight succinct chapters. See Life and Miracles of St. Benedict (Book II, Dialogues), translated by Odo John Zimmerman, O.S.B. and Benedict R. Avery, O.S.B.

Bishops of Mantua: Pope Pius X $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Pope Saint Pius X (Latin: Pius PP. X) (2 June 1835 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was the 257th Pope of the Catholic Church, serving from 1903 to 1914, succeeding Pope Leo XIII (18781903). He was the first pope since Pope Pius V (156672) to be canonized. Pius X rejected modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine, promoting traditional devotional practices and orthodox theology. His most important reform was to publish the first Code of Canon Law, which collected the laws of the Church into one volume for the first time. He was a pastoral pope, encouraging personal piety and a lifestyle reflecting Christian values. He was born in the pastoral town of Riese. Pope Pius was a Marian Pope, whose encyclical Ad Diem Illum expresses his desire through Mary to renew all things in Christ, which he had defined as his motto in his first encyclical. Pius believed that there is no surer or more direct road than by Mary to achieve this goal. Pius X was the only Pope in the 20th century with extensive pastoral experience at the parish level, and pastoral concerns permeated his papacy; he favoured the use of the vernacular in catechesis. Frequent communion was a lasting innovation of his papacy. Pius X, like Pope Pius IX, was considered by some to be too outspoken or brusque. His direct style and condemnations did not gain him much support in the aristocratic societies of pre-World War I in Europe. His immediate predecessor had actively promoted a synthesis between the Catholic Church and secular culture; faith and science; and divine revelation and reason. Pius X defended the Catholic faith against popular 19th century views such as indifferentism and relativism which his predecessors had warned against as well. He followed the example o… More: |

Church of England Festivals: Calendar of Saints, Lesser Festival, Commemoration, Principal Feast, Principal Holy Day $9.16 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Church of England commemorates many of the same saints as those in the Roman Catholic calendar of saints, mostly on the same days, but also commemorates various notable (often post-Reformation) Christians who have not been canonised by Rome, with a particular though not exclusive emphasis on those of English origin. There are differences in the calendars of other churches of the Anglican Communion (see Saints in Anglicanism). The only person canonised in a near-conventional sense by the Church of England since the English Reformation is St Charles the Martyr (King Charles I), although he is not widely recognised by Anglicans as a saint outside the Society of King Charles the Martyr.

For this reason, the Church of England avoids the use of the prenominal title “Saint” with reference to uncanonised individuals and is restrained in what it says about them in its liturgical texts. In order not to seem to imply grades of sanctity, or to discriminate between holy persons of the pre- and post-Reformation periods, the title “Saint” is not used at all in the calendar, even with reference to those who have always been known by that title, for example the Apostles. The ninth Lambeth Conference held in 1958 clarified the commemoration of Saints and Heroes of the Christian Church in the Anglican Communion. Resolution 79 stated: There is no single calendar for the various churches making up the Anglican Communion; each makes its own calendar suitable for its local situation. As a result, the calendar here contains a number of figures important in the history o… More: |

Catholic employers refuse to fulfill the mandate of prescription contraceptives
A state law will soon require health insurance available on the market to cover prescription contraceptives plans several religious employers who struggle to change their coverage on the moral level.
St. Mary's Hospital in Madison and the Catholic Diocese of Madison are among the employers who say they will change from commercial health plans of self-insurance not that your premiums to help fund an insurance opposed on religious grounds. self-insurance policies are exempt from its mandate.
"It looks like this probably end up costing us (more money), but worth it if we can avoid cooperating with sin, "said Brent King, a spokesman for the diocese Madison.
Twenty-six other states also require coverage of contraceptives prescribed, although 15 of them exempt certain religious employers, like Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit organization focused on sexual and reproductive National. Wisconsin has no exemption for religious reasons.
The law, passed by the legislature this summer as part of the state budget, requires all commercial insurance policies with a benefit of prescription drugs to cover prescription contraceptives. The law comes into play January 1, even if employers can fulfill their contracts of insurance in force until they expire.
Fans that birth control is part of basic health care and the exclusion of discrimination against women. Opponents see the term as insensitive to the moral rights and legal and that it was inappropriate stuck in the budget at the last minute to minimize the debate.
It is unclear how much agitation in the insurance market that will cause. To begin with, the mandate for only 30 percent of the population or if the state-sponsored health plans commercial, "said Phil Dougherty of the Association of Health Plans in Wisconsin.
plans covering self-insured about 40 percent of the population, "he said. The rest are people uninsured or under public programs like Medicare and Medicaid. This is low-income and control birth already covers prescription.

Employers which have so far expressed their intention to change the hedges are affiliated with the Catholic Church teaches that contraception is immoral because it diminishes the role of God as the giver of life and interferes with the complete delivery of each spouse to the other.
Diocese Madison expects its costs to increase as to ensure freedom in August because they have more influence an organization of large health maintenance to negotiate the lowest prices, King said. The diocese provides insurance for about 640 people.
Two other Catholic dioceses in the state – Green Bay and Milwaukee – also buy commercial health insurance plans and are considering self-funded, has said John Huebsch, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Catholic Conference. The dioceses that remain in La Crosse and Superior, and are self-insured.
Steve Van Dinter, a spokesman for St. Mary's, said that hospitals must follow Catholic ethical and religious directives that name. Therefore, the hospital itself ensure the next year to avoid having to provide prescription birth control for their employees. The hospital said about 2,100 employees, he said.
Many Catholic hospitals also will move to other plans self-insured, including 10 under the Ministry of Health, said Cheryl Zima, vice president of the Human Resources organization. The hospitals are St. Joseph to San Miguel in Marshfield and Stevens Point.
Subeck said he was "extremely disappointing" that some employers have chosen to self-insure to avoid the mandate. Many businessmen Catholic Workers who are secular and perform tasks secular, "he said.
