Eastern Europe has become an ideological battleground since the collapse of the Soviet Union, with liberals and authoritarians struggling to seize the ground lost by Marxism. In Fantasies of Salvation, Vladimir Tismaneanu traces the intellectual history of this struggle and warns that authoritarian nationalists pose a serious threat to democratic forces. A leading observer of the often baffling world of post-Communist Europe, Tismaneanu shows that extreme nationalistic and authoritarian thought has been influential in Eastern Europe for much of this century, while liberalism has only shallow historical roots. Despite democratic successes in places such as the Czech Republic and Poland, he argues, it would be a mistake for the West to assume that liberalism will always triumph. He backs this argument by showing how nationalist intellectuals have encouraged ethnic hatred in such countries as Russia, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia by reviving patriotic myths of heroes, scapegoats, and historical injustices. And he shows how enthusiastically these myths have been welcomed by people desperate for some form of "salvation" from political and economic uncertainty. On a theoretical level, Tismaneanu challenges the common ideas that the ideological struggle is between "right" and "left" or between "nationalists" and "internationalists." In a careful analysis of the conflict's ideological roots, he argues that it is more useful and historically accurate to view the struggle as between those who embrace the individualist traditions of the Enlightenment and those who reject them. Tismaneanu himself has been active in the intellectual battles he describes, particularly in his native Romania, and makes insightful use of interviews with key members of the dissident movements of the 1970s and 1980s. He offers original observations of countries from the Baltic to the Black Sea and expresses his ideas in a vivid and forceful style. Fantasies of Salvation is an indispensable book for both academic and nonacademic readers who wish to understand the forces shaping one of the world's most important and unpredictable regions.

Throughout the history of organised religion, and to the present day, religious discrimination, hatred, exploitation, bloodshed and terrorism, have blighted humanity, while love, peace and unity have been difficult to come by. These problems appear rooted in the contradictory and exclusive doctrines of salvation propagated by different religions. While Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the son of God only through whom human beings would obtain salvation, other religions insist that salvation comes only through the observance of the tenets of their own faiths. So, does humanity need a salvation, and does any religion provide the route to it? Fantasy of Salvation is a meticulous study of the doctrine of salvation and the means of its achievement in the world's major religions, especially the Abrahamic faiths. In his exploration of the central claims in these faiths, author Dr. Emeka Modeme asks and answers with scriptural authority many fundamental questions, including the following: -Does humankind need a messiah?-Will salvation come through Jesus Christ, the Jewish covenants and law, the prescriptions of the Holy Quran, or the tenets of any other religion?-Who really was Jesus? Was he God or man?-Are the gospels factual or a mere expression of religious faith?-Are there indeed devil and demons from whom human beings need deliverance?-Will there be an apocalypse, and eternal reward or punishment for human beings? Dr. Modeme thoroughly examines the Christian, Jewish and Islamic salvation claims relative to historical, philosophical, and other religious perspectives. The results of his examination are staggering and broad, and his arguments sound and compelling. Anyone who has ever asked or entertained tough questions about the theology of apocalypse and salvation will find in this book satisfying vindications of their curiosity. Scepticism of archaic ideas is one of the hallmarks of our species: Does humanity need salvation in the religious sense, or does it need salvation from antiquated and unfounded tenets of religion that keep us ignorant, disconnected from God, and in constant conflict?

The Tradition and First Born Law have governed the way of life for hundreds of years – an agreement where humans supply Vampires with fresh blood for the protection of their cities, and a law that promises the first born child of each family to that city’s Vampire cause. Vampires reign supreme underground, but even they fear what awaits them on the desolate surface. The faltering Sun has dawned a new age of faster, stronger Vampires – the Vampeez. Levi is a First Born – property of Salvation and scheduled to be Turned on his 18th birthday. When his girlfriend, Sarah, is Turned months before his own birthday, he finds himself thrust into the secrets of the Vampire world in attempts to salvage her memories and their relationship. Salvation’s council seizes Sarah’s vulnerability to begin their plans to do away with the Vampeez, but they must also contend with a new threat. A new Vampeez Queen has been crowned and is about to prove herself to be a formidable foe.

This volume investigates the impact of death consideration on such phenomena as Buddhist cosmology, the poetry of Rilke, cults and apocalyptic dreams, Japanese mythology, creativity, and even psychotherapy. Death is seen as a critical motivation for the genesis of artistic creations and monuments, of belief systems, fantasies, delusions and numerous pathological syndromes. Culture itself may be understood as the innumerable ways that societies defend themselves against helplessness and annihilation, how they mould and recreate the world in accordance with their wishes and anxieties, the social mechanisms employed to deny annihilation and death. Whether one speaks of the construction of massive burial tombs, magical transformations of death into eternal life, afterlives or resurrections, the need to cope with death and deny its terror and effect are the sine qua non of religion, culture, ideology, and belief systems in general.

This major contribution to Pauline scholarship by a widely-respected New Testament scholar is the culmination of over forty years of teaching on Paul. Brendan Byrne demonstrates that topics often discussed in Pauline studies and Christian theology go astray when the significance of the last judgment falls from view. Offering a fresh Catholic perspective that engages with centuries of Protestant interpretation, this book recaptures the significance of the motif of the last judgment for the interpretation of Paul.
