The Judging Eye
Author: R. Scott BakkerPublisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1590207459
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
The acclaimed author of the Prince of Nothing series returns with a new epic fantasy set in the same richly layered universe. With his Prince of Nothing series, R. Scott Bakker won legions of fans and comparison to fantasy luminaries such as J.R.R. Tolkien and Frank Herbert. Now comes The Judging Eye, Bakker’s first novel in a new series set in the world of Earwa, twenty years after the end of The Thousandfold Thought—a world that is both familiar yet profoundly changed. To prevent a second apocalypse, an emperor gathers a vast army and draws a reluctant king into holy war. Meanwhile, an empress finds herself threatened by assassins and an exiled wizard seeks his enemy’s secrets. Delving even further into his richly imagined universe of myth, violence, and sorcery, Bakker delivers a fantasy novel that defies expectations.

Judge and be Judged
Author: Eric Bain-SelboPublisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739108611
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
"Judge and Be Judged offers insights into moral life and moral judgment that aim to help in understanding our society's tendency toward either fundamentalism or relativism. Framing his argument with an exegesis of Jesus' teaching "Judge not, that you be not judged," Eric Bain-Selbo provides some helpful conceptual tools for thinking about that predicament, and finding a way past it. By examining the social function of shame, the possibility of cross-cultural understanding, and obstacles to moral judgment in the college classroom, this book charts a path that helps us to avoid both fundamentalism and relativism."--BOOK JACKET
