"A theologically and historically informed treatise on a Christian approach to politics that foregrounds the priorities of God's kingdom instead of blind partisan loyalty"-- Provided by publisher

Focusing on New York City's participatory budgeting (PB) process, the book offers an in-depth, community-centered analysis of its implementation and challenges. Through a multi-methodological study, it highlights issues such as lack of transparency, manipulation by city agencies, and unequal treatment of project proposals. Rather than presenting a unified PB initiative, it reveals numerous distinct projects shaped by individual council members. The findings suggest significant shortcomings and advocate for substantial reforms to enhance the effectiveness of participatory budgeting.

Exploring the Victorian novel's approach to uncertainty, this work examines how authors like George Eliot and Thomas Hardy engaged with science, philosophy, and law to navigate partial knowledge and unpredictable outcomes. The book highlights their imaginative responses to hesitation and makeshift actions, ultimately framing realism as a genre focused on the probable. Daniel Williams emphasizes the significance of literary art in understanding the complexities of thought and action in a world increasingly dominated by predictive models and technologies.

Im Nahen Osten, der Geburtsregion des Christentums, sehen sich christliche Gemeinden vielfältigen Repressionen ausgesetzt. Zahlreiche Christen wurden ermordet. Eine 2000-jährige Geschichte steht vor ihrem Ende. Die Verfolgungen sind für alle, die es sehen wollen, unverkennbar. Im Irak sank die Zahl der Christen von über einer Million auf gerade einmal 300.000. In Syrien, wo das Wort "Christen" erstmals erschien, flohen mindestens ein Drittel der Christen. In Ägypten, Heimatland der koptischen Kirche, die so alt ist wie die römische, verlassen die Christen zunehmend das Land. Daniel Williams stellt neben die historische Entwicklung politische Analysen und Berichte aus erster Hand. Er entfaltet eine von den Christen Europas und Amerikas kaum beachtete Tragödie.
