A l'heure de la mondialisation englu e dans ses errements, l'heure des profondes mutations des soci t s et des valeurs thiques, l'heure de la promotion du relativisme religieux et du s cularisme, le d bat sur le r le de l' glise dans la soci t devient pressant. A la question de la place de l' glise dans notre soci t est li e aussi celle de la forme que doit prendre son institution. En clair, il s'agit de r pondre une double pr occupation: Quel est le r le et quel type d' glise dans notre soci t de plus en plus lib rale ? La R publique D mocratique du Congo n' chappe pas aux d fis de la mondialisation. Scandale g ologique, christianis plus de 80 %, dot d'une d mographie impressionnante, le Congo-Kinshasa concentre toutes les mis res du monde. Pour viter le d dale d'une num ration la fois lugubre et coeurante, on dira tout simplement que pr dation, pr varication, corruption, tribalisme, indiff rence, cynisme, cupidit , viol, guerres, et tant d'autres maux se coalisent pour faire du Congo un non- tat. Quel type d' glise pour une soci t en crise ? Telle est la question la quelle l'auteur essaie de r pondre dans son livre.
To Shake Their Guns in the Tyrant's Face

After the bombings of Oklahoma City in 1995, most Americans were shocked to discover that tens of thousands of their fellow citizens had banded together in homegrown militias. Within the next few years, numerous studies and media reports appeared revealing the unseen world of the American militia movement, a loose alliance of groups with widely divergent views. Not surprisingly, it was the movement’s most extreme voices that attracted the lion's share of attention.In reality the militia movement was neither as irrational nor as new as it was portrayed in the press, Robert Churchill writes. What bound the movement together was the shared belief that citizens have a right, even a duty, to take up arms against wanton exercise of unconstitutional power by the federal government. Many were motivated to join the movement by what they saw as a rise in state violence, illustrated by the government assaults at Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992, and Waco, Texas in 1993. It was this perception and the determination to deter future state violence, Churchill argues, that played the greatest role in the growth of the American militia movement.Churchill uses three case studies to illustrate the origin of some of the core values of the modern militia movement: Fries' Rebellion in Pennsylvania at the end of the eighteenth century, the Sons of Liberty Conspiracy in Civil War-era Indiana and Illinois, and the Black Legion in Michigan and Ohio during the Depression. Building on extensive interviews with militia members, the author places the contemporary militia movement in the context of these earlier insurrectionary movements that, animated by a libertarian interpretation of the American Revolution, used force to resist the authority of the federal government.A historian of early America, Robert H. Churchill has published numerous articles on American political violence and the right to keep and bear arms. He is currently Associate Professor of History at the University of Hartford."This book is about how we think about the past, how cultural memories are formed and evolve, and how these memories then come to impact current understandings of issues. Churchill provides an enlightening analysis of the ideology, structure, and purpose of the militia movement. Where much scholarship has categorized it as a cohesive, single movement, Churchill begins the process of unraveling its complexity."---Steve Chermak, Michigan State University"To Shake Their Guns in the Tyrant's Face addresses an area---the relationship of American political violence to American ideology---that is of growing importance and that is commanding an ever increasing audience, and it does so in a way like nothing else in the field."---David Williams, Indiana University Bloomington
Skylar, the main character, is the only female in her college physics program. She questions the concepts she is being taught in school and feels that the understanding of human consciousness, and our physical universe, is just one revolutionary idea away from being upended. An unusual set of goggles comes into Skylar's life that allow her and her best friend, Bohdi, to see what the other is thinking and feeling. Human consciousness just became directly viewable with this technology. But they are not the only ones who can tap into people's thoughts and emotions. A group has been using similar technology for a long time to influence what people think and feel to their advantage. But their manipulations do not work on everyone, specifically young people. Two engineers in this organization are working to find out why.If Skylar and Bohdi can avoid detection by this group, they can radically alter what we think of ourselves, our future, and our place in this universe.

They have been with us all through history: The "Invisible College" of wisdom, and their adversaries. The history of the world is their story: a conspiracy as vast and all-encompassing as the riddle of time itself.In Naples, Italy, in 1764, a young aristocrat is about to stumble onto one piece of the great pattern. Through a heartless murder and his passion for the beautiful daughter of his enemy, young Sigismundo Celine uncovers the mystery of the Rossi brigade, former M.A.F.I.A. assassins, and the secret agenda of the dreaded Inquisition.In the wind of the raging social storm that will soon tear through Europe and America with the flame of revolution, Sigismundo begins his journey of discovery, joined by the boy Mozart, Dr. Frankenstein, Casanova the spy, lover and magician . . . and a mysterious violet-eyed assassin who calls him "brother." Join him. The journey has just begun."Against the epic backdrop of the French and American revolutions, the inimitable RAW lays bare the secret history of the Enlightenment, while almost casually re-inventing the historical novel in the process. The result is a heady, psychedelic brew of satire, intrigue, magic, high adventure and life-changing philosophy, seasoned with the wry, compassionate humanism which is Wilson's trademark. Astonishing and unforgettable." - Grant Morrison, New York Times best-selling author, Comics Legend, Chaos Magician, creator of The Invisibles and other great graphic novels"Devilish . . . I loved it " - Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone"Hilarious and multidimensional." - L.A. Times
At the root of the current political, economic, cultural, and ecological chaos is a national spiritual unrest, a fragmentation that has inhibited society's self-awareness and slowed theological progress to a glacial crawl. In a nation where three-fourths of the population identifies as Christian and religion salts the political discourse, unrest has manifested itself as the talking-head debate between atheists and believers. In All My Bones Shake, Robert Jensen reveals the multitiered complexity of the conflict and offers a progressive approach to its key theological questions. While fundamentalists on both sides have fought to an intellectual standstill and moderates seem content to ignore the battle, Jensen pushes for answers that make sense for anyone trying to exist in the modern scientific world, concluding, "There is no God, and more than ever we all need to serve the One True Gods." Jensen tests the mettle of his conclusion by holding it up to the best of religious and secular teachings.More than a simple study of the religious debate in America, All My Bones Shake marks a new communion: a way to use theology to create a sustainable society and meet the uncertainty of our lives with confidence.

In the novel's Preface, the Author states: "In a few short words, the content of the book is this: A boy dedicates himself to the clerical profession with the fire of childlike enthusiasm, the youth goes astray in his profession, and the man, 'because not all flowering dreams ripened, ' has the notion of giving it up and 'fleeing to the desert.' Yet Heaven has decided otherwise. With resignation he comes back to himself and begins again to believe in his calling. Besides this, everything which is presented in the book belongs partly to the characteristics of the hero appearing in it, partly to the characteristics of our time chiefly with regard to religious, ecclesiastical, and especially clerical matters."
