Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Veteran political analyst and commentator Tod Lindberg goes beyond punditry to examine how Jesus's message, once considered radical and revolutionary, has come to define our concept of a stable and lasting government. In The Political Teachings of Jesus, Lindberg takes a detailed look at the role the New Testament has played in the formation of the modern democratic ideal, and demonstrates how the basic principles of both liberal and conservative thought in the United States find a common origin in Christianity. Tod Lindberg is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and editor of its award-winning publication Policy Review. He is also the editor of Beyond Paradise and Power: Europe, America and the Future of a Troubled Partnership, a contributing editor to the Weekly Standard, and a frequent analyst on NPR who has often appeared on public-affairs television programs. He lives in Washington, DC, with his wife and two daughters."You will never read the Bible or hear a sermon the same way again after reading The Political Teachings of Jesus. Tod Lindberg outlines Jesus's teachings for this world, not the next - for how we can and should strive for a global 'community of goodwill.' In an age in which politics and religion are so often dangerously distorted and intertwined, this political teaching of one of our greatest religious figures could not be more timely."-Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of The Idea That Is America.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Since the beginning of the Christian era, people have used the words and ideas of Jesus to justify all manner of political action. Despite these repeated attempts, however, few have been able to move past the rhetoric and understand the true nature of Jesus's political views. Now, in The Political Teachings of Jesus, longtime political analyst and commentator Tod Lindberg goes beyond political punditry to address how Jesus's words and teachings-once a radical set of ideas-have come to define our concept of government and our vision for society. With nuanced prose, Lindberg draws a crucial distinction between Christ's religious and political teachings, presenting a detailed discussion of the world transformation that Jesus sought through his words, stories, and sayings. Guiding readers through the social and political dialogue of the Gospels, Lindberg expertly analyzes how Jesus's principles of universal freedom and equality have combined in our social order to become the unacknowledged bedrock of the modern world. In addition, he offers a provocative look at the role that Jesus's words have played in the formation of the modern democratic ideal, demonstrating how the basic principles of both liberal and conservative thought find common roots in the Christian messiah's words. Through close reading of the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus's parables, Lindberg offers a sophisticated portrait of Jesus as a teacher of unique insight and perception, one whose political views have transcended time and become essential to the way everyone lives in our society. In an era when people on both sides of the aisle are prone to using Jesus's beliefs for their own ends, The Political Teachings of Jesus is a refreshingly clear-eyed take on our shared concepts of government and society-and their common roots between the covers of the New Testament.…

Hardback. Condition: New. The expansion of the shipbuilding industry in Britain and the United States between 1938 and 1945 was one of the greatest economic feats in history. This study examines in detail the unprecedented growth both in total industrial capacity and that of individual shipyards. Lindberg and Todd go beyond the normal descriptive historical account of this expansion to analyze it through the application of a geographical perspective. Specifically, they apply the geographic concepts of clustering and agglomeration to the merchant and naval shipbuilding industries of both nations during this vital era.Beginning with the emergence of a modern shipbuilding capability in the late nineteenth century, the authors examine how these geographic concepts were progressively implemented in both the United States and Britain as a result of new technological demands on navies as well as changing geostrategic considerations. While World War I marked the initial large-scale example of clustering/agglomeration, the interwar period would witness a quick demise of both the industry and the major shipyard agglomerations. This important work explains how, as a result of the war, the governments and the shipbuilding industries of two nations were able to reconstitute and greatly expand their capabilities in the face of ever-increasing demands for both warships and merchant vessels. …

Hardback. Condition: New. The central theme running through this book is the mutual dependence of navies and shipbuilding industries. Historically, naval ambitions and the ambitions of industrialists converge, and a symbiosis is born. The technical competence of industry emerges as a key player in determining the effectiveness of navies. That industrial capability, for its part, rests increasingly on the navy as chief customer because progressive specialization renders it more and more unsuited for any other use. These trends are universal, afflicting the relations of all major navies and their industrial suppliers since the dawn of the modern age. They continue to complicate the running of navies today. The book enlarges on this fundamental fact, explaining why the symbiosis emerged and how it is manifested in the contemporary world.…
