God Owes Us Nothing A Brief Remark on Pascal’s Religion and on the Spirit of Jansenism


Free Download God Owes Us Nothing: A Brief Remark on Pascal’s Religion and on the Spirit of Jansenism by Leszek Kolakowski
English | November 1, 1995 | ISBN: 0226450511, 0226450538 | True EPUB | 248 pages | 0.3 MB
God Owes Us Nothing reflects on the centuries-long debate in Christianity: how do we reconcile the existence of evil in the world with the goodness of an omnipotent God, and how does God’s omnipotence relate to people’s responsibility for their own salvation or damnation. Leszek Kolakowski approaches this paradox as both an exercise in theology and in revisionist Christian history based on philosophical analysis. Kolakowski’s unorthodox interpretation of the history of modern Christianity provokes renewed discussion about the historical, intellectual, and cultural omnipotence of neo-Augustinianism.

There Was Nothing You Could Do Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. and the End of the Heartland [Audiobook]


Free Download There Was Nothing You Could Do: Bruce Springsteen’s "Born in the U.S.A." and the End of the Heartland (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CKNFHWHW | 2024 | 8 hours and 13 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 238 MB
Author: Steven Hyden
Narrator: Steven Hyden

A thought-provoking exploration of Bruce Springsteen’s iconic album, Born in the U.S.A.-a record that both chronicled and foreshadowed the changing tides of modern America. On June 4, 1984, Columbia Records issued what would become one of the best-selling and most impactful rock albums of all time. An instant classic, Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. would prove itself to be a landmark not only for the man who made it, but rock music in general, and even the larger American culture over the next 40 years. In There Was Nothing You Could Do, veteran rock critic Steven Hyden shows exactly how this record became such a pivotal part of the American tapestry. Alternating between insightful criticism, meticulous journalism, and personal anecdotes, Hyden delves into the songs that made-and didn’t make-the final cut, including the tracks that wound up on its sister album, 1982’s Nebraska. He also investigates the myriad reasons why Springsteen ran from and then embraced the success of his most popular (and most misunderstood) LP, as he carefully toed the line between balancing his commercial ambitions and being co-opted by the machine.
