SPCK (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge)

<p>Robert Van de Weyer argues that humanity faces a trio of chronic crises - economic, ecological, and in the provision of welfare services - whose causes are various connected forms of usury. Following the religious teaching of Christianity and Islam, which have traditionally condemned usury as the fundamental source of social injustice, he defines usury as the unequal allocation of risk. He offers practical proposals as to how usury may be reduced or eliminated, showing that the solution to each crisis depends on solving the others.</p>

Is truth objective? Can we make moral choices, or are our choices predetermined? Who are the true saints and heroes of this world? Kierkegaard, the prolific 19th-century Danish philosopher, is one of the most difficult, controversial, and attractive thinkers of the modern period. His concept of man as an isolated individual before God is largely the basis of existentialism.

Philosophy

Rumi, a 13th-century mystic, is the acknowledged master of Sufi philosophy, an Islamic mystical movement rejecting ritual and seeking a return to primitive simplicity. His purpose was not to convince people of the truth by argument, but rather to show them how to encounter the truth themselves. His favorite method of philosophical discourse was story-telling.
