Plantinga knowledge and christian belief6/30/2023 ![]() In this book Plantinga presents the same ideas in a briefer, more accessible fashion. Finally, Plantinga addresses several potential defeaters to Christian belief - pluralism, science, evil and suffering - and shows how they fail to successfully defeat rational Christian belief.|In his widely praised Warranted Christian Belief (Oxford, 2000) Alvin Plantinga discussed in great depth and at great length the question of the rationality, or sensibility, of Christian belief. ![]() He argues that the criticisms of such well-known atheists as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens are completely wrong.

Junky burroughs6/30/2023 ![]() It's not a book that seems likely to gain a wide audience anytime soon. There are no notes or other apparatus and the pages are falling out. It has an austere red, faux-leather cover with the title picked out in gold on the front. Back then, it was re-released in the scholarly series Addiction in America, alongside such intriguing sounding titles as Inebriety (1888), Drugs That Enslave (1881), Morbid Craving For Morphia (1878) and Japan and the Opium Menace (1942). I don't have that kind of money, but I did manage to get hold of an Arno Press edition from 1981. ![]() Still, if you've got a spare few thousand pounds, you can pick up a copy of the Ace Original paperback and read Narcotic Agent alongside the original Junky. Junky remains in print as a Penguin Classic, lovingly adorned with appendices, and with a superb scholarly introduction by Oliver Harris. ![]() They only had to turn the book over and start reading Narcotic Agent, the account of former policeman Maurice Helbrant that came 69'd with Junky. Readers of the first printed version of the novel didn't have far to look if their curiosity about Burroughs' adversaries was aroused. ![]()

The seeker stephenie meyer amazon6/30/2023 ![]() This body barely belonged to me or to Mel-it belonged to him” (595, ARC). ![]() The rest of me yearned toward Jared with the same desperate, half-crazed hunger I’d felt since the first time I’d seen him here. All the melting, melding, welding that I had just been through was shoved aside, into the smallest part of my body, the little corner that I took up physically. Here’s an example: “I stared into Jared’s eyes, and the strangest thing happened. It is super cheesy and super melodramatic. I feel like I’ve accidentally picked up a Harlequin romance. My biggest complaint with Stephenie Meyer is her romantic plots. It was very clearly a Stephenie Meyer book, though, which did lead to certain amounts of anger and eyes rolling nearly out of my head. I have seen a lot of people complain about how slow the beginning was, but I didn’t really notice. I have to say I really enjoyed it much more than the Twilight series. ![]() I originally had not planned on even reading this book because the Twilight series instills much rage within my soul, but I was in a dry spell for reading, so I decided to give it a try. ![]()

Genghis by Conn Iggulden6/28/2023 ![]() He was the second son to a respected khan of a small clan of hunter gatherers. However, my knowledge was limited to the particular reverence and destruction he’s known for as a conqueror. How is it even possible the Richard Ferrone can deliver the voices and narration perfectly suited to the times and characters. somehow the author balances this epic series with detail that puts you there, and stories that develop over time, but magically presents it with a breathless pace. I really appreciate that Genghis wasn't dumbed down or softened for modern audiences, but I also love that he gets the benefit of the doubt on what his reasons may have been. The Kahn comes charging right at you from his time and circumstances, and he doesn't care at all if you think he is ruthless. Second, we don't know what Genghis' personality was like, but the author does a brilliant job of fusing what we DO know into a believable and congruent narrative. The research on this is amazing, because it aligns well with the nonfiction I've read. Iggulden writes about and he doesn't borrow anything as filler. I've read books from other time periods that Mr. ![]() First of all, how do you take the time period and people with which you may not be very familiar and create a narrative that by the end of the first book, has you smelling, hearing, and feeling what it would have been like in a Mongol camp, on campaign, with the mighty Genghis. ![]() It is difficult to explain why this is so good. ![]()
