God's Funeral: A Biography of Faith and Doubt in Western Civilization

Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company: June 1999

Seller ID:: 131258

ISBN: 0393342956

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

A magisterial, colorful narrative illuminating the central tragedy of the nineteenth century: that God (or man's faith in him) died, but the need to worship remained as a torment to those who thought they had buried Him. By the end of the nineteenth century, almost all the great writers, artists, and intellectuals had abandoned Christianity, and many abandoned belief in God altogether.

(No reader here will soon forget the venomous Oxford debate between Thomas Huxley, brilliant ...

In 1960, the French medievalist Philippe AriÃ¨s inaugurated the history of childhood as a serious field of study with the publication of his book L'enfant et la vie familiale sous l'Ancien RÃ©gime (translated two years later as Centuries of Childhood). Famously known for the abrupt statement that 'in medieval society the idea of childhood did not exist'-AriÃ¨s established the framework for the field, advancing continued scholarship through controversy as much as anything.

Considered one of America's engineering marvels, the Panama Canal sparked intense debates in the 1970s over the decision to turn it back over to Panama. In this remarkable and revealing tale, noted journalist Adam Clymer shows how the decision to give up this revered monument of the "American century" stirred emotions already rubbed raw by the loss of the Vietnam War and shaped American politics for years. Jimmy Carter made the Canal his first foreign policy priority and won the battle to ratify the Panama Canal treaties. But, Clymer reveals, the larger war was lost. The issue gave Ronald Reag...

It was the unlikely start to what would prove a remarkable, continent-hopping, century-crossing saga, and one that in many ways has revolutionized our sense of what it means to lead a Jewish life. In "Sacred Trash, " MacArthur-winning poet and translator Pet...
