Diversity Of This Sort Is Pervasive, Existing Not Only Across Basic Theistic Systems But Also Within These Theistic Systems Themselves. Religious Diversity Explores The Breadth And Significance Of Such Conflict. Examining The Beliefs Of Various Theistic Systems, Particularly Within Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism And Buddhism, Basinger Discusses Seemingly Incompatible Claims About Many Religious Issues, Including The Nature Of God And The Salvation Of Humankind. He Considers Particularly The Work Of Hick, Gellman, Plantinga, Schellenberg, Alston, Wainwright, And Quinn, Applying Their Perspectives On 'exclusivism' And 'pluralism' As They Become Relevant To The Issues In Question. Basinger's Survey Of The Relevant Literature, Proposed Solutions, And Fresh Insights Offer An Invaluable Contribution Not Only For Philosophers Of Religion And Philosophical Theologians But For Anyone Interested In The Increasingly Significant Question Of What A Religious Believer Can Or Cannot Justifiably Say About Their Religious Perspective.

While the gospel is exploding throughout the global south, Western civilization faces militant assaults from aggressive secularism and radical Islam. Will the church resist the seductive shaping power of advanced modernity? More than ever, Christians must resist the negative cultural forces of our day with fortitude and winsomeness. What is needed is followers of Christ who are willing to face reality without flinching and respond with a faithfulness that is unwavering. Os Guinness describes these Christians as \"impossible people,\" those who have \"hearts that can melt with compassion, but with faces like flint and backbones of steel who are unmanipulable, unbribable, undeterrable and unclubbable, without ever losing the gentleness, the mercy, the grace and the compassion of our Lord.\" Few accounts of the challenge of today are more realistic, and few calls to Christian courage are more timely, resolute―and hopeful. Guinness argues that we must engage secularism and atheism in new ways, confronting competing ideas with discernment and fresh articulation of the faith.

Beginning with the Biblical material the author provides both a comprehensive survey of changes over 2,000 years of the Christian church, while also providing a series of case studies that highlight particular elements of the worship, or specific theoretical applications. Stringer does not simply examine the mainstream traditions of Christian worship in Europe and Byzantium, but also aims to give space to more marginal traditions in Armenia, India, Ethiopia and elsewhere.

Originally published in 2003 Santería Enthroned combines art, history, cultural anthropology, and ethnohistory to show how Africans and their descendants have developed novel forms of religious practice in the face of relentless oppression. Focusing on the royal throne as a potent metaphor in Santería belief and practice it shows how negotiations among ideologically competing interests have shaped the religion’s symbols, rituals, and institutions from the nineteenth century to the present. Rich case studies of change in Cuba and the United States, including a New Jersey temple and South Carolina’s Oyotunji Village, reveal patterns of innovation similar to those found among rival Yoruba kingdoms in Nigeria. Throughout, the book argues for a theoretical perspective on culture as a field of potential strategies and \"usuable pasts\" that actors draw upon to craft new forms and identities – a perspective that will be invaluable to all students of the African Diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Spirituality\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligious Studies\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSociology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":46671221653694,"sku":"0367332191-6","price":37.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61p1IH44P-L.jpg?v=1776882773"},{"product_id":"0802843506","title":"Missional Church: A Vision for the Sending of the Church in North America (The Gospel and Our Culture Series (GOCS))","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Would A Theology Of The Church Look Like That Took Seriously The Fact That North America Is Now Itself A Mission Field?

He now shifts his focus from extremes of physical adventure to extremes of religious belief within our own borders, taking readers inside isolated American communities where some 40,000 Mormon Fundamentalists still practice polygamy. Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a multi-layered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith. Along the way he uncovers a shadowy offshoot of America’s fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReference\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":47619903455422,"sku":"1400032806-4","price":7.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":49258230874302,"sku":"1400032806-5","price":3.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71szFRlOAaL.jpg?v=1781104875"},{"product_id":"0061132179","title":"Born to Kvetch: Yiddish Language and Culture in All of Its Moods","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entry for \u003ci\u003ekvetchn \u003c\/i\u003e(the verbal form) in Uriel Weinreich's \u003ci\u003eModern English-Yiddish Yiddish-English Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e reads simply: press, squeeze, pinch; strain. There is no mention of grumbling or complaint.

All perfectly good, perfectly common uses of the verb \u003ci\u003ekvetchn\u003c\/i\u003e, none of which appears to have the remotest connection with the idea of whining or complaining. The link is found in Weinreich's strain which he uses to define \u003ci\u003ekvetchn zikh\u003c\/i\u003e, to press or squeeze oneself, the reflexive form of the verb. Alexander Harkavy's 1928 \u003ci\u003eYiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e helps make Weinreich's meaning clearer. It isn't simply to strain, but to strain, as Harkavy has it, at stool, to have trouble doing what, if you'd eaten your prunes the way you were supposed to, you wouldn't have any trouble with at all. The connection with complaint lies, of course, in the tone of voice: someone who's \u003ci\u003ekvetching\u003c\/i\u003e sounds like someone who's paying the price for not having taken his castor oil—-and he has just as eager an audience. A really good \u003ci\u003ekvetch\u003c\/i\u003e has a visceral quality, a sense that the \u003ci\u003ekvetcher\u003c\/i\u003e won't be completely comfortable, completely satisfied, until it's all come out. Go ahead and ask someone how they're feeling; if they tell you, Don't ask, just remember that you already have.

Orville Prescott of the New York Times wrote that “if enough such books are written, if enough millions of people read them maybe, someday, in the fullness of time, there will be a greater understanding and a more true democracy.” Yet from 1975 to 1978, Black Boy was banned in schools throughout the United States for “obscenity” and “instigating hatred between the races.”\u003cbr\u003eWright’s once controversial, now celebrated autobiography measures the raw brutality of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as a black boy. Enduring poverty, hunger, fear, abuse, and hatred while growing up in the woods of Mississippi, Wright lied, stole, and raged at those around him—whites indifferent, pitying, or cruel and blacks resentful of anyone trying to rise above their circumstances. Desperate for a different way of life, he may his way north, eventually arriving in Chicago, where he forged a new path and began his career as a writer. At the end of Black Boy, Wright sits poised with pencil in hand, determined to “hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo.” More than seventy-five year later, his words continue to reverberate. “To read Black Boy is to stare into the heart of darkness,” John Edgar Wideman writes in his foreword. “Not the dark heart Conrad searched for in Congo jungles but the beating heart I bear.”\u003cbr\u003eOne of the great American memoirs, Wright’s account is a poignant record of struggle and endurance—a seminal literary work that illuminates our own time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Spirituality\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligious Studies\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReligious Groups\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Harper Perennial Modern Classics","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48723924779198,"sku":"0062964135-4","price":10.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71Vq638lmaL.jpg?v=1786714042"},{"product_id":"0062395556","title":"ISIS: The State of Terror – Inside the Global Jihadist Movement's Recruitment of Westerners and Propaganda Machine","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Of America's Leading Experts On Violent Extremism And Terrorism Explain The Genesis, Evolution, And Implications Of Today's Most Barbaric Jihadist Army, Islamic State--and How We Can Fight It--,though Terrorist Groups Are A Fixture Of Contemporary Politics And Warfare, The World Has Never Witnessed The Degree Of Sheer Brutality Demonstrated By The Group Known As Isis-- The Islamic State Of Iraq And The Levant.

Why is it that atheists and theists alike now think and speak about God in a way that veers so profoundly from the thinking of our ancestors?Moving from the Paleolithic Age to the present, Karen Armstrong details the lengths to which humankind has gone to experience a sacred reality that it called God, Brahman, Nirvana, Allah, or Dao. She examines the diminished impulse toward religion in our own time when a significant number of people either want nothing to do with God or question the efficacy of faith. With her trademark depth of knowledge and profound insight, Armstrong elucidates how the changing world has necessarily altered the importance of religion at both societal and individual levels. And she makes a powerful, convincing argument for structuring a faith that speaks to the needs of our dangerously polarized age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligious\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Knopf Canada","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48877988905150,"sku":"0307397432-4","price":6.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":49275175239870,"sku":"0307397432-3","price":13.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61iTinAehVL.jpg?v=1788970751"},{"product_id":"0061633356","title":"Why Faith Matters: A Respected Rabbi's Personal Story of Faith and Defense of Religion","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003ejudging By Today's Bestseller Lists, One Would Think That Religion Is Either Irrational Or Extreme.

Based on more than two hundred personal interviews with both current and former Scientologists--both famous and less well known--and years of archival research, Lawrence Wright uses his extraordinary investigative skills to uncover for us the inner workings of the Church of Scientology: its origins in the imagination of science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard; its struggles to find acceptance as a legitimate (and legally acknowledged) religion; its vast, secret campaign to infiltrate the U.S. government; its vindictive treatment of critics; its phenomenal wealth; and its dramatic efforts to grow and prevail after the death of Hubbard. At the book's center, two men whom Wright brings vividly to life, showing how they have made Scientology what it is today: The darkly brilliant L. Ron Hubbard--whose restless, expansive mind invented a new religion tailor-made to prosper in the spiritually troubled post-World War II era. And his successor, David Miscavige--tough and driven, with the inenviable task of preserving the church in the face of ongoing scandals and continual legal assaults. We learn about Scientology's esoteric cosmology; about the auditing process that determines an inductee's state of being, about the Bridge to Total Freedom, through which members gain eternal life. We see the ways in which the church pursues celebrities, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and how such stars are exploited to advance the church's goals. We meet young idealists who joined the Sea Org, the church's clergy, whose members often enter as children, signing up with a billion-year contract and working with little pay in poor conditions. We meet men and women \"disconnected\" from friends and a family by the church's policy of shunning critical voices. And we discover, through many firsthand stories, the violence that has long permeated the inner sanctum of the church. In Going Clear, Wright examines what fundamentally makes a religion a religion, and whether Scientology is, in fact, deserving of the constitutional protections achieved in its victory over the IRS. Employing all his exceptional journalistic skills of observation, understanding and synthesis, and his ability to shape a story into a compelling narrative, Lawrence Wright has given us an evenhanded yet keenly incisive book that goes far beyond an immediate exposé and uncovers the very essence of what makes Scientology the institution it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion \u0026amp;

In fact, it has been by no means uncommon for a child to be born into this world only to be patiently and lovingly reared by religious maniacs, who believe that the best way to keep the sun on its course or to ensure a rich harvest is to lead him by tender hand into a field or to a mountaintop and bury, butcher, or burn him alive as offering to an invisible God. The notion that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that his death constitutes a successful propitiation of a “loving” God is a direct and undisguised inheritance of the superstitious bloodletting that has plagued bewildered people throughout history. . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Spirituality\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eAgnosticism\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eAtheism\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligious Studies\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eChurch \u0026amp; State\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSociology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReligious Groups\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic Affairs \u0026amp; Policy\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eCultural Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReference\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligious\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReligion, Politics \u0026amp; State\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harris, Sam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780307278777\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":49275447804094,"sku":"0307278778-4","price":4.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/611Ae3EKN1L.jpg?v=1791919862"},{"product_id":"0062941925","title":"The Book of Rosy","description":"\n\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Offers hope in the face of desperate odds\" - ELLE Magazine, ELLE's Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2020\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"[D]isturbing and unforgettable memoir...This wrenching story brings to vivid life the plight of the many families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.\" - Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"[The] haunting and eloquent...narrative of a Guatemalan woman's desperate search for a better life.\" -Kirkus, STARRED Review\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePEOPLE Magazine Best Books of Summer 2020\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTIME Magazine Best Books of Summer 2020\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePARADE Best Books of Summer 2020 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompelling and urgently important, The Book of Rosy is the unforgettable story of one brave mother and her fight to save her family.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen Rosayra \"Rosy\" Pablo Cruz made the agonizing decision to seek asylum in the United States with two of her children, she knew the journey would be arduous, dangerous, and quite possibly deadly.

The book's unique blend of intellectual, religious, and social history offers perspectives on the movement's leaders as well as its followers, and demonstrates that, far from being a throwback to the Middle Ages, Hasidism is a product of modernity that forged its identity as a radical alternative to the secular world. Hasidism originated in southeastern Poland, in mystical circles centered on the figure of Israel Baal Shem Tov, but it was only after his death in 1760 that a movement began to spread. Challenging the notion that Hasidism ceased to be a creative movement after the eighteenth century, this book argues that its first golden age was in the nineteenth century, when it conquered new territory, won a mass following, and became a mainstay of Jewish Orthodoxy. World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the Holocaust decimated eastern European Hasidism. But following World War II, the movement enjoyed a second golden age, growing exponentially. Today, it is witnessing a remarkable renaissance in Israel, the United States, and other countries around the world.

Was the attack a divine judgment or was it merely an atrocity perpetrated by the forces of evil? How can human beings be capable of such diabolical savagery in the name of religion? And what is the right course of action for our government to take? John MacArthur points us to the Bible for answers to these and many other questions arising out the recent atrocities.

These automatons, Manji argues, include many so-called moderate Muslims in the West. In blunt, provocative and deeply personal terms, she unearths the troubling cornerstones of Islam as it is widely practised: tribal insularity, deep-seated anti-Semitism and an uncritical acceptance of the Koran as the final, and therefore superior, manifesto of God. In this open letter to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, Manji breaks the conspicuous silence that surrounds mainstream Islam with a series of pointed questions: \"Why are we all being held hostage by what's happening between the Palestinians and the Israelis? Who is the real coloniser of Muslims - America or Arabia? How can we read the Koran literally when it's so contradictory and ambiguous? Why are we squandering the talents of women, fully half of God's creation?\" Not one to be satisfied with merely criticising, Manji offers a practical vision of how Islam can undergo a reformation that empowers women, promotes respect for religious minorities and fosters a competition of ideas. Her vision revives Islam's lost tradition of independent thought. This book should inspire Muslims worldwide to revisit the foundations of their faith. It might also compel non-Muslims to start posing the questions we all have about Islam today. In that spirit, \"The Trouble with Islam\" is a clarion call for a fatwa-free future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Spirituality\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslam\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligious Studies\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSociology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manji, Irshad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e First Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Random House of Canada, Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780679312505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Random House of Canada, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":49361488773310,"sku":"0679312501-3","price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51FJTu7ThwL._SL500.jpg?v=1792512195"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/collections\/books-politics-social-sciences-sociology-religion.oembed?page=2","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
