In this global war on women, female bodies literally serve as places of battle. The reality of women's bodies as battlefield connects the literal and ideological violence perpetrated against women with the literal and ideological violence of war itself. Susan Brooks ..."

"Jesus of Nazareth said and did a lot about money and power in his own time. But Jesus wasn't a "free market capitalist" despite what some conservative Christians would like us to believe in the twenty-first century. -Jesus occupied the Temple in Jerusalem-effectively the national bank of his time-and threw out those who were exploiting the poor. -Jesus organized fishermen whose industry had been wrecked by the Roman Empire. -His followe ..."

"In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were tempted to take a bite out of an apple that promised them the “knowledge of good and evil.” Today, a shiny apple with a bite out of it is the symbol of Apple Computers. The age of the Internet has speeded up human knowledge, and it also provides even more temptation to know more than may be good for us. Americans have been right at the forefront of the digital revolution, and we have felt its uns ..."

Yet the project is also fraught with ambiguities and, Susan Thistlethwaite claims, great potential dangers to society. This important book combines a basic primer on genetic research with ethical reflection by an interdisciplinary team on key questions and a deeper look, in light of such research, at what it means to ..."

"What is real is the immovable, unchangeable idea. This certainly fit with late
medieval ideas of divinity as an unmovable, abstract Other, even as it allowed for
a separation of ecclesial authority from real knowledge. Anyone truly interested in
the rigors of skeptical philosophy, Descartes believed, would eventually get at
knowledge of both the real world and of God. Descartes, and Plato before him,
did not start from physical rea ..."
