Prescences Felt

Forlagets omtale:
Presences Felt examines the realities of power and resistance in history, politics, biography and culture. Focusing particularly on revolutionary totalitarianism and democracy, it provides a conceptual analysis of the ideological movements of the twentieth century, mapping out the landscape which Christian individuals and institutions inhabited and which defined their moral dilemmas. Andrew Chandler probes the lives of those who acted with integrity to stand apart from and resist corrupt or evil institutions. He looks at the dilemmas faced by those in positions of Christian authority in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and the Vatican. He also examines the actions of certain individuals who acted outside of the boundaries of ?responsible? civil life in the context of totalitarianism.
