Few Americans see the US presidents and the presidency outside of a
sentimental idealism. Amaury de Riencourt, an author of more than
eight books who lectured extensively in the US in the 1950s, pulls
out all the stops to reveal the essence of the U.S. Presidency in
this volume. Originally published in 1957, The Coming Caesars, was
well-received being featured in publications like Foreign Affairs,
The New Yorker and Harper's magazine. Now, with a new Introduction,
a private letter to the author from a high Pakistani official from
2002, new endorsements, additional quotes and a new typeset design;
a new generation can gain a better understand what is happening in
the United States than is being told them. Caesarism in the
presidency is much more of a threat today than ever before. This
book will show why.
From the Publisher: In this systematic study, author Timothy L.
Price examines two of the most explosive subjects in conversation:
religion and politics. Addressed mainly to religious conservatives,
this book asks as many questions to the ?Religious-Right? about
their approach. This work exposes hypocrisy and ignorance that are
part and parcel with accepting the religious conservative bandwagon
as a legitimate way of expressing Christ to a non-believing
society. The author is detailed in exposing the fallacy of using
politics to do the church's work. This book is about redirecting
the energy of the ?Religious-Right, ? from being aggressive and
self-righteous, to becoming more like Christ. If culture change is
what the religious conservatives want, why are they so afraid to
change themselves? Why do they assume that culture change should be
in their direction? And why are they vehemently opposed any person
of faith that would credibly question their sense rightness? Get
this book and discover why.
To Preach or Not to Preach? questions one of the scared cows in the
modern church, namely the sermon, and the preeminence it s given.
Norrington s premise is not built on novelty or questioning just to
question. He goes back to the New Testament and shows that there is
no evidence for a a regular weekly sermon that believers are to
lean upon, and the whole church experience is to be wrapped around.
This book also shows how the sermon as it has come to be practiced
supplants the one-another ministries of everyday believers, and
stifles the expression of Christ in the ekklesia. To Preach was
originally published in Britain by Paternoster Press in 1996.It had
virtually no circulation in the States. Norrington died in 2007,
and his book nearly passed into oblivion. However, several
supporters banded together to reoffer this work. And with it, a
large additional section was added where Norrington responds to
reviews of his book. To Preach is a well-documented study that will
challenge traditional ideas, restore hope and function in the body
of Christ, and help us understand that "preaching" in the NT was
primarily a vital evangelistic activity directed toward
unbelievers.
