Life in hell ain’t easy. Demons try to torture you for all
eternity. Monsters want to eat you. There’s a stunning lack of
reliable indoor plumbing. And it’s almost impossible to get ice
cream. At least, until today, when three condemned teens and their
annoying tagalong demon frenemy embark on a daring scheme to hijack
a demon lord’s delivery truck. What happens next will take them
on an epic journey across the underworld, an infernal excursion of
nonstop excitement, danger and adventure. Presenting a devilishly
fun new series from multiple Eisner-winning writer/letterer John
Layman (CHEW, Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum) and Argentinian
superstar artist Jok. Collects IN HELL WE FIGHT #1-#5, plus short
stories from Image Anthology #10 and #11
What gives some people the right to issue commands to everyone else
and force everyone else to obey them? And why should people obey
the commands of those with political power? These two key questions
are the heart of the issue of political authority, and, in this
volume, two philosophers debate the answers. Michael Huemer argues
that political authority is an illusion and that no one is entitled
to rule over anyone. He discusses and rebuts the major theories
supporting political authority's rightfulness: implicit social
contract theory, hypothetical contract theories, democratic
theories of authority, and utilitarian theories. Daniel Layman
argues that democratic governments have authority because they are
needed to protect our rights and because they are accountable to
the people. Each author writes two replies directly addressing the
arguments and ideas of the other. Key Features Covers a key
foundational problem of political philosophy: the authority of
government. Debate format ensures a full hearing of both sides. A
Glossary includes key concepts in political philosophy related to
the issue of authority. Annotated Further Reading sections point
students to additional resources. Clear, concrete examples and
arguments help students clearly see both sides of the argument. A
Foreword by Matt Zwolinski describes a broader context for
political authority and then traces the key points and turns in the
authors' debate.

This book explores the philosophical issues arising from the
distinctively Christian doctrines of the atonement, incarnation,
and Trinity. To many philosophers and theologians, these doctrines
raise considerable philosophical quandaries. In this volume, C.
Stephen Layman explores such questions as: Why do these doctrines
matter? Do they make sense? Do the historically influential
theories about them hold up under scrutiny? To what extent do
recent contributions by philosophers (e.g., Richard Swinburne,
Thomas V. Morris, Stephen T. Davis, Brian Leftow, and Peter van
Inwagen) shed light on these doctrines? This philosophical
investigation illuminates how religious questions can be addressed
with philosophical seriousness.

criminal Saffron Chu is back, staring down the barrel of the
biggest --and strangest-- score of her career. Return to the

adventure, and an alcoholic art heist that spans the centuries.

Written around 1660, the unique Chinese short story collection Idle
Talk under the Bean Arbor (Doupeng xianhua), by the author known
only as Aina the Layman, uses the seemingly innocuous setting of
neighbors swapping yarns on hot summer days under a shady arbor to
create a series of stories that embody deep disillusionment with
traditional values. The tales, ostensibly told by different
narrators, parody heroic legends and explore issues that
contributed to the fall of the Ming dynasty a couple of decades
before this collection was written, including self-centeredness and
social violence. These stories speak to all troubled times,
demanding that readers confront the pretense that may lurk behind
moralistic stances. Idle Talk under the Bean Arbor presents all
twelve stories in English translation along with notes from the
original commentator, as well as a helpful introduction and
analysis of individual stories.
No doubt the 21st century will continue to surprise us, but the
battle for the soul of humanity appears to be quickening. Do we
have what it takes to save ourselves from ourselves? The internet
has fundamentally changed our experience of shared life, for good
and bad. The spiritual and ecological exhaustion of modernity is
watched and discussed in a public realm mostly controlled by
private interests, where our attention is easily hijacked and
vulnerable to manipulation. There is joy and hope in life as
always, but our species faces a capricious future. This anthology
is an attempt to perceive our contexts and opportunities more
clearly with an exploration of the metamodern sensibility: a
structure of feeling, cultural ethos, epistemic orientation and
imaginative outlook that is coalescing into an important body of
theory and practice. Leading metamodern writers, including Zachary
Stein, Bonnitta Roy, Lene Rachel Andersen, Hanzi Freinacht, Minna
Salami and John Vervaeke, reflect upon the conjunction of
premodern, modern and postmodern influences on the present to help
contend with our plight in the 2020s and beyond. Fourteen chapters
traverse a range of disciplines and domains to help the reader move
beyond critique into vision and method. The aim is to create and
inspire viable and desirable futures in this time between worlds,
where one pattern of collective life is dying and another needs our
help to be born.
Anthony and Antonelle Chu are fraternal twins. Tony and Toni. Each
with their own extraordinary, albeit diametrically opposed,
ability. Tony is Cibopathic, able to get psychic sensations of the
past of anything he bites into or ingests. Toni is Cibovoyant, able
to flash onto a vision of the future of any living thing she bit
into or ingested. Tony is alive. Toni is dead. Toni has been
murdered. Tony has vowed to catch her killer. Toni is going to
help. Presenting a new storyline of the New York Times Bestselling,
Harvey and multiple Eisner Award-winning series about cops, crooks,
cooks, cannibals, and clairvoyants.
Tony Chu is a cibopath, able to get psychic impressions from what
he eats. Saffron Chu is a cibopars, able to learn secrets from who
she eats with. Tony is a cop. Saffron is a criminal. They are
brother and sister, and they are on a collusion course. Spinning
out of the Eisner awarding winning and New York Times best-selling
series CHEW comes CHU, a felonious new food-noir about cops,
crooks, cooks, & clairvoyants.
CAN TONY STOP HIS MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY? Presenting a new storyline

Award-winning series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals, and
clairvoyants. Collects CHEW #46-50
Presenting a new storyline of the New York Times Bestselling,
Harvey and multiple Eisner Award-winning series about cops, crooks,
cooks, cannibals, and clairvoyants. Tony Chu - the cibopathic
federal agent with the ability to get psychic impressions from what
he eats - is back in action, just in time to face a cult of
egg-worshipping terrorists who've declared holy war on the
chicken-eaters of the world. Collects CHEW # 31-35.
How did the Christian Right come to predominate in the
Republican Party? Why, on the other hand, do secular and
religiously liberal beliefs largely prevail in the Democratic
Party? Our understanding of the rift between the Democratic and
Republican parties -- a rift in many ways fueled by religious
beliefs -- requires an analysis of the entire spectrum of religious
and nonreligious players in the American political process and how
their influence has evolved over a long period of time.
Employing a sizeable collection of data on party members,
activists, and elites, Geoffrey Layman examines the role of
religion in the Democratic and Republican parties, and the ways in
which religion has influenced the political process from the early
1960s through the late 1990s. Using a wide variety of sources,
including the American National Election Studies -- the major
academic survey of the American electorate -- Layman reveals a vast
and subtly differentiated landscape of political life and a more
vivid basis upon which to analyze the ever-widening chasm between
the parties.
Layman investigates a broad spectrum of religious variety,
citing differences between African American Protestants, white
evangelical Protestants, Roman Catholics, Jews, nonreligious or
seculars, and smaller religious groups, as well as political
cleavages within these faith traditions. With his broad-based and
thorough analysis, he counters the often narrow focus and
incendiary rhetoric of many of the "culture war" debates.
Tony Chu, the cibopathic federal agent with the ability to get
psychic impressions from what he eats, is getting closer to finding
the answers he's been looking for-answers about the bird flu that
killed millions, answers about the conspiracy to keep people from
discovering the truth. And the only thing standing in Tony's way is
his Mason Savoy, fellow cibopath, ex-mentor-and unrepentant
murderer! Presenting the second-to-last storyline of the New York
Times Best Selling, Harvey and multiple Eisner Award-winner series
about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals, and clairvoyants. Collects
issues #51-55, plus the sold-out, out-of-print blockbuster
crossover CHEW/REVIVAL.
Special Introductory Price Tony Chu is a detective with a secret. A
weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic
impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a
detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a
murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. He's been brought on
by the Special Crimes Division of the FDA, the most powerful law
enforcement agency on the planet, to investigate their strangest,
sickest, and most bizarre cases. Collects CHEW #1-5.
The final story arc of Tony Chu, the cibopathic federal agent with
the ability to get psychic impressions from what he eats. Mysteries

lives. This is the end of the line for the New York Times Best
Selling, Harvey and multiple Eisner Award-winner series about cops,
crooks, cooks, cannibals, and clairvoyants. Collects issues 55-60
plus the smash-hit spin-off one-shot: CHEW: DEMON CHICKEN POYO.
