A brilliant, disturbing portrait of the dawn of the culture wars when America started to tear itself apart with doubts, wild allegations and a maniacally unfounded fear for the safety of children.

The devil has fallen on hard times. Surveys say that even the majority of Christians doubt Satans existence. Burdened by doubts, skeptical believers find themselves divorced from Jesus dramatic confrontation with Satan in the Gospels and from the struggle that galvanized the early church. In Reviving Old Scratch, popular blogger and theologian Richard Beck reintroduces the devil to the modern world with a biblical, bold, and urgent vision of spiritual warfare: we must resist the devil by joining the kingdom of Gods subversive campaign to interrupt the world with love. Beck shows how conservative Christians too often overspiritualize the devil and demons, and progressive Christians reduce these forces to social justice issues. By understanding evil as a very real force in the world, we are better able to name it for what it is and thus to combat it as Jesus did. Becks own work in a prison Bible study and at a church for recovering addicts convinced him to take Satan more seriously, and they provide compelling illustrations as he challenges the contemporaryand strangely safeversions of evil forces. The beliefs of liberals and conservatives alike will be tested by Becks groundbreaking ideas, fascinating stories, and clear thinking. Because if Jesus took Satan seriously, says Beck, then so should we. Winner of the 2017 Book of the Year Award from The Academy of Parish Clergy

When Richard Beck first led a Bible study at a maximum security prison, he went to meet God. His own faith was flagging, but Beck still believed the promise of Matthew 25, that when we visit the prisoner, we visit Jesus. And sure enough, God met him in prison.

Groteskně laděný text Doktor Billig v koncích od Richarda Huelsenbecka z roku 1920 je vůbec prvním dadaistickým románem na světě. Jedná se o román protikladů: fantastické výjevy se střídají s realistickými popisy, po satiricky laděných rozhovorech následují patetické proklamace. Huelsenbeckova kritika maloměšťáckého pokrytectví, ale i života bez jakýchkoli morálních zásad neztrácí na významu ani po sto letech od prvního vydání.
