This book offers an accessible introduction to Simone Weil, one of the most original and intriguing Christian thinkers of the twentieth century. A French philosopher, activist, and mystic, she repeatedly sought to enter into the world of the workers and the poor. Though her mystical experiences brought her to the threshold of the Church, she chose not to enter. Yet many consider her one of the most significant religious witnesses of our time. Stephen Plant explores her life and the paradoxes of her work from a sympathetic, but not uncritical perspective. Her value lies not simply in the content of her thought but, as she would say, in the amount of illumination thrown upon the things of this world.

"Some stories keep returning, each time reimagined to fit the occasion. In some cases, we know them without having read the originals, and in a few brief sentences we can sketch the essential plot points and key characters. Robinson Crusoe, Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Sherlock Holmes, Batman: their stories, Philip Ball contends, are among our modern myths. Written since Crusoe was published in 1719, these modern myths truly serve the same function as the stories of Thor and Loki, Hercules and Jason, and other ancient universal myths of creation, flood, redemption, and heroism. What is that function? Why are we still making myths? Why do we need new myths? And which are they? By posing these questions and seeking answers, The Modern Myths makes bold claims about the nature of storytelling, the condition of modernity, and the categories of literature. The themes and meanings of modern myths are decided collectively and dynamically and shift with the times. They escape the intentions of their authors because they inadvertently touch on issues that trouble and obsess us and become vehicles for exploring them. The Modern Myths takes a wide-ranging journey--discovering unexpected truths behind familiar tales, excavating strange and colorful histories, and finding hidden connections between them. The result is an exploration of how stories are created and how they evolve. And from this, Ball crafts provocative conclusions about the purposes and values of literature today and about the roles that new media and technology will play in creating the myths of tomorrow"--

Ada anggapan bahwa agama tidak mampu menggerakkan kehidupan ekonomi, lebih-lebih ekonomi kapitalis. Ini didasarkan pada pemiki- ran bahwa agama dan ekonomi merupakan dua ranah yang memiliki titik sentral dan tujuan berbeda. Di antara keduanya, selamanya tidak akan pernah sejalan. Max Weber kemudian muncul dengan Die Protestant Ethik Under Giest Des Kapitalis (Etika Protestan dan Semangat Kapitalis), sebuah pemikiran baru yang seolah menegasikan anggapan tersebut. Ia dengan sangat baik menunjukkan kaitan yang erat antara doktrin-doktrin agama yang puritan dengan fakta-fakta sosial, terutama dalam perkembangan industri modern sehingga melahirkan corak dan ragam nilai yang menjadi tolok ukur keberhasilan individu; keberhasilan di dunia ialah cerminan kebahagiaan di akhirat. Melalui buku fenomenal ini, Max Weber tidak sekadar mengung- kapkan pemikiran-pemikirannya yang brilian terkait dengan relasi antara agama dan kehidupan sosial masyarakat modern. Lebih jauh, ia juga me- ngupas secara komprehensif sejarah lahirnya agama, gagasan tentang Tuhan, etika keagamaan, dan sebagainya. Selamat membaca!

Keselamatan hanya ada di dalam Yesus Kristus. Tidak ada nama lain di bawah kolong langit ini yang olehnya kita diselamatkan. Yesus satu-satunya Juruselamat manusia yang diturunkan dari surga, bagi seluruh umat manusia. Yesus satu-satunya Juruselamat yang diutus oleh Tuhan Allah untuk datang ke dunia. Pengutusan ini tidak pernah dimandatkan kepada siapa pun selain Yesus. Kematian-Nya di kayu salib menggantikan kita manusia berdosa yang seharusnya mati karena dosa kita. Oleh karena itu mari kita sebagai umat tebusan melakukan kehendak Penebus kita sampai akhir hidup sebagai ucapan syukur kita kepada-Nya.
