A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away?In 2016, New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California–Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required to protect his speech. What was so frightening about Shapiro? He came to argue that Western civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas; that we have let grievances replace our sense of community and political expediency limit our individual rights; that we are teaching our kids that their emotions matter more than rational debate; and that the only meaning in life is arbitrary and subjective.As a society, we are forgetting that almost everything great that has ever happened in history happened because of people who believed in both Judeo-Christian values and in the Greek-born power of reason. In The Right Side of History, Shapiro sprints through more than 3,500 years, dozens of philosophers, and the thicket of modern politics to show how our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God’s image and that human beings were created with reason capable of exploring God’s world.We can thank these values for the birth of science, the dream of progress, human rights, prosperity, peace, and artistic beauty. Jerusalem and Athens built America, ended slavery, defeated the Nazis and the Communists, lifted billions from poverty, and gave billions more spiritual purpose. Yet we are in the process of abandoning Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, watching our civilization collapse into age-old tribalism, individualistic hedonism, and moral subjectivism. We believe we can satisfy ourselves with intersectionality, scientific materialism, progressive politics, authoritarian governance, or nationalistic solidarity.We can’t.The West is special, and in The Right Side of History, Ben Shapiro bravely explains how we have lost sight of the moral purpose that drives each of us to be better, the sacred duty to work together for the greater good,.

Das Buch führt durch erlebte Ausschnitte von 60 Jahren Zeitgeschichte. In den Briefen an seine Enkel legt der Autor den Focus weniger auf das individuelle Leben, sondern nimmt vielmehr die gesellschaftlichen und politischen Geschehnisse, das Lebensgefühl der Zeit in den Blick. Auf diese Weise schlägt er immer wieder den Bogen über die Vergangenheit bis in die Gegenwart und stellt so das Erlebte in einen größeren Rahmen. Die Sichtweise ist subjektiv und persönlich und macht aus geschichtlichen Fakten konkret erlebte und erlebbare Geschichte. Neben Umweltschutz und Atomenergie werden auch die Studentenunruhen, die RAF, das Bildungssystem, der Kalte Krieg, Missstände in der Kirche und vieles andere mehr bis in die heutige Zeit thematisiert.

This is a story about a movement. A real life story of how a white and black pastor from different points of view see the world as it is and as it could be.

This book strives to show the modern church what is possible when people just talk and listen. From the Kaepernick Controversy to sexual assault in the church, The Bishop Brothers bring two points of view to some of the most difficult questions facing the church and our society today. To read this book, you need to be comfortable being uncomfortable!

Since the 1979 revolution, Iran has promoted a Shi'a Islamic identity aimed at transcending ethnic and national boundaries. During the same period, Iran's Armenian community, once a prominent Christian minority in Tehran, has declined by more than eighty percent. Although the Armenian community is recognised by the constitution and granted specific privileges under Iranian law, they do not share equal rights with their Shi'i Muslim compatriots. Drawing upon interviews conducted with members of the Armenian community and using sources in both Persian and Armenian languages, this book questions whether the Islamic Republic has failed or succeeded in fostering a cohesive identity which enables non-Muslims to feel a sense of belonging in this Islamic Republic. As state identities are also often key in exacerbating ethnic conflict, this book probes into the potential cleavage points for future social conflict in Iran.
