Why our churches are shrinking: "In the discomfort between orthodox Christian faith and twenty-first century western dogma, we are tempted to do what it takes to make the pressure go away, to acquiesce on the beliefs that grate against contemporary sensibilities. For Christians raised under the ethic of relevance--the desire to prove believers can be both holy and cool--the pressure is too much. Some compartmentalize their beliefs into an orthodox/secularist mashup; others simply disappear into the ghostly embrace of secularity." - Mark Sayers Disappearing Church is a direct answer to the most pressing question facing church leaders today: How do we make disciples who stay the course? Full of real stories and actionable insights, Disappearing Church is a guide for disciple-making in a highly secularized society. God will grow His church and protect its purity, but He will use us to do it. Are you up for the challenge?

Was meint Marx mit »Entfremdung«? Welche Rolle spielt der Begriff in seiner Kapitalismuskritik und seiner Vision von einer zukünftigen Gesellschaft? In Marx und Entfremdung setzt sich Sean Sayers tiefgehend mit einigen der wichtigsten philosophischen Grundannahmen in Marx‘ Werk auseinander. Er stellt Marx‘ Verständnis von Entfremdung und deren Überwindung wieder in den Kontext der hegelianischen Philosophie, die den bornierten Individualismus der Aufklärung überwand und historisch den Boden für den Marxismus bereitete. Sayers setzt die Entfremdungsproblematik auch ins Verhältnis zu zeitgenössischen Debatten und Kontroversen – und stellt die analytische und die strukturalistische Wendung des Marxismus der letzten Jahrzehnte infrage. Die Kenntnis von Hegels Philosophie, so zeigt Sayers, ist wesentlich für das Verständnis der zentralen Konzepte von Marx‘ Philosophie, für das marxistische Menschenbild und dessen Arbeitsbegriff. Auf originelle und zugängliche Weise erklärt und erörtert der emeritierte Philosophie-Professor Karl Marx‘ Gedanken – und leistet mit Marx und Entfremdung einen wichtigen Beitrag zur marxistischen Philosophie.
