On Islam
At the beginning of the twentieth century, famed theologian Abraham Kuyper toured the Mediterranean world and encountered Islam for the first wkkk.net travelogue, part cultural critique, On Islam presents a European imperialist seeing firsthand the damage colonialism had caused and the value of a religion he had never truly understood. Here, Kuyper's doctrine of common grace shines as he displays a nuanced and respectful understanding of the Muslim world. Though an ardent Calvinist, Kuyper still knew that God's grace is expressed to unbelievers. Kuyper saw Islam as a culture and religion with much to offer the West, but also as a threat to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here he expresses a balanced view of early twentieth-century Islam that demands attention from the majority world today as well. Essays by prominent scholars bookend the volume, showing the relevance of these teachings in our time.中国人的性格密码(上)
中国人对于自我民族性格的审视是近代才开始的。之前的中国一直是东亚的政治文化中心,向来是输出文明。直至十九世纪下半叶与西方列强的数次战争,中国才发现与正视这个世界中还存在与中国性格迥异的强大文明这个事实,中国人不得不面对差异,分析差异,并试图改变民族性格,以救亡图存。与此同时,涌入中国的外国人也对这个传说般的古国睁大了观察的眼睛,他们发现不仅他们的武力和商品征服不了中国,他们的科学与宗教也对中国人影响甚微,从此中国人的性格成为近代中国改革和外国人研究中国颇为核心的一个论题,此后的新文化运动、五四运动等文化思潮虽然以政治、文化为主题,其深处却一直涌动着中国人对自己民族性格的肯定或否定、保留与改变的矛盾,这种矛盾一直延续到今天。Seeing Things
This collection of Seamus Heaney's work, especially in the vivid and surprising twelve-line poems entitled "e;Squarings"e;, shows he is ready to re-imagine experience and "e;to credit marvels"e;. The title poem, "e;Seeing Things"e;, is typical of the whole book. It begins with memories of an actual event, then moves towards the visionary while never relinquishing its feel for the textures and sensations of the world. Translations of Virgil and Homer provide a prelude and a coda where motifs implicit in the earlier lyrics are given direct expression in extended narratives. Journeys to underworlds and otherworlds correspond to the journeys made by poetic language itself. From the author of "e;The Haw Lantern"e;, "e;Wintering Out"e;, "e;Station Island"e; and "e;North"e;.
