Political Evil: What It Is and How to Combat It par Alan Wolfe
I agreed with most of the book and mostly liked his approaches, but over and over I saw things in the book that seemed poorly argued and just plain wrong. I didn't agree with some of his definitions and assumptions. Clearly Wolfe is better educated than I am, and I'm sure smarter too-- but I think he's made some big mistakes here. Very thought-provoking book, though, and really that's why I read.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.The controversy over the Jewish Diaspora is something I've only been familiar with in passing, and yet I found that Wolfe's work was not only readable and clear, but offered with depth and insight. In some cases, I'm positive I would have gotten more out of his arguments if I'd had more background, but for the most part, I felt Wolfe did an impressive job of balancing his writing to benefit a variety of readers. Wolfe's argument that Diaspora has, in large part, been a good thing for Jews -- despite many scholars and religious leaders arguing the opposite -- is delivered thoughtfully and with real depth, and offers a lot of inspiration for further discussion and thought.
All told, I'd have to recommend this work to anyone interested in the subject, or in religion at large.… (plus d'informations)

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I received this book through the Early Reviewers. Since this is not a topic I know very much about, I felt some of it was a little deep. However, the author makes some good points. I especially agreed with his thoughts on millennials not attaching importance to organized religion, and being accepting of inter marriage and gay marriage. For those who know more about the topic than me, the rating would be higher.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.This book is an erudite, scholarly tome that delves deeply into the titled subject matter. The author cites many sources and helpfully defines many of the words he uses, however, I would have very much appreciated a glossary for reference and review. This subject can provoke deep emotional and spiritual responses and the author presents many points of view. This is a complex subject (one I was unfamiliar with) and this book provides an excellent overview.
