A Splendid Wickedness and Other Essays, Paperback/David Bentley Hart

Descriere & specificații

"Incisive essays from a master wordsmith" Why has Don Juan become so passe of late? What s the trouble with Ayn Rand? How did the Doge of Venice come to venerate the counterfeit remains of Siddhartha Gautama? Why does the Bentley family s collection of ancestral relics include a bronzed human thumb? And what, exactly, is the story behind Great Uncle Aloysius, who was born a Quaker but died a pagan? This collection of occasional essays brings us David Bentley Hart at his finest: startlingly clear and deliciously abstruse, coolly wise and burningly witty, fresh and timeless, mystical and concrete often all at once. Hart s incisive blend of philosophy, moral theology, and cultural criticism, together with his flair for both the well-told story and the well-turned phrase, is sure to delight. " About the Author: David Bentley Hart is an Eastern Orthodox theologian, philosopher, and cultural commentator. A regular contributor to "First Things," Hart has also written "The Beauty of the Infinite, ""In the Aftermath," and "Atheist Delusions," which was awarded the 2011 Michael Ramsey Prize in Theology."
