Een unieke kijk op de Brexit en wat daaraan voorafging

Toen John Bercow zich op 31 oktober 2019 terugtrok als speaker van het Britse Lagerhuis, was hij een van de bekendste en meest iconische figuren uit de Britse politiek. Tien jaar lang maakte hij vanuit die positie een van de meest koortsachtige periodes van de moderne Britse geschiedenis van dichtbij mee. Hij zat het parlement voor terwijl dat te maken had met belangrijke kwesties als bezuinigingsmaatregelen ten tijde van de financiële crisis; de regeringscoalitie met de Conservatieven en de Liberaal-Democraten; en natuurlijk het lastigste probleem van deze tijd - hoe de uitkomst van het referendum in 2016, de brexit, ten uitvoer moet worden gebracht.

Openhartig en onbevreesd laat John Bercow zich uit over de toonaangevende figuren uit zijn tijd - van Tony Blair tot David Cameron, van Theresa May tot Boris Johnson. Hij motiveert de manier waarop hij heeft geprobeerd om het parlement te democratiseren en licht toe hoe hij zijn voorzitterschap inzette om de rechten van de parlementsleden te verdedigen en de regering ter verantwoording te roepen.

Unspeakable biedt een fascinerende kijk op de achtergrond en politieke carrière van Mister Speaker en is daarmee essentieel leesvoer voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in politiek en hoe democratie wordt - of zou moeten worden - vormgegeven.

Not an Intro to Apologetics
Format: Paperback
This book is not for the first-time student of apologetics. It's deep and, at times, difficult. However, for anyone with a serious interest in apologetics, this is a great way to find out which method suits your apologetic style and why. It was eye-opening for me. I am confident that God can use most (if not all) of the five distinct methods covered in the book. But it was very helpful to me to consider pros and cons of each and decide which approach seemed appropriate for me. Great book, if you feel ready for it!

Good overview of apologetic methods but ....
Format: Paperback
I very much enjoy the counterpoint series by Zondervan. It can help me quickly come up to speed in a variety of theological topics. This book has 5 contributors and each one presents, each one comments on each other's essay and finally each one has some concluding remarks which allows the reader to readily judge the competing opinions. However after reading the various approaches it appears to me that the apologetical approach one uses is not as important as learning the various theistic arguments (both positive and negative) and then putting them into practice. I'm not convinced that studying apologetic methods will be that helpful. This is because the various approaches overlap and also because when actually talking with people one must be very flexible and move deftly with the flow of conversation. Yet still I give this book 4 stars as there are 5 top Christian thinkers contributing to this subject. On a personal note, one reason I read this book is because I was puzzled by presuppositional apologetics. I stand firmly in the reformed camp and I audited iTunesU courses in apologetics from Reformed Theological Seminary and Westminster Theological Seminary and was still confused on how presuppositional apologetics works in actual practice. I must sat that after reading this book I still don't see how this approach is useful in defending the faith. I have respect for John Frame but this apologetical approach seems more like a non-approach. I'll be moving on to more fruitful endeavors such as actually learning specific defenses for the Christian faith.

Academically Helpful: Not a How To Book
Format: Kindle
I have to say that I respect all of the apologists who contributed to this book. As a student of apologetics it is interesting to see the perceptions of the different methodologies, but there is no real guidance on "how to defend the faith"...so, there's that. Truth be told, all of their methods have a place and time...it is up to the reader to discern when and where.

Difficult read, but helpful slightly
Format: Kindle
This book was exhausting, I guess it's because I had to read it quickly for seminary. Either way I don't think the authors intended for the audience to really follow much of what they were saying, it was more like they were in a conversation of their own inner circle, kudos for trying but please make this readable next time... Quite frankly one of the authors I won't say who completely misunderstood presup's understanding of whether or not people can know things. I say that as an avid opponent of the typical presup circular argument. On a positive note, I did learn that all of them share a lot in common and some of them are not different from each other at all. Presup holds in my eyes a highly admired love for the scripture which they often attempt to paint as a separate apologetic from say classical view for example, however it isn't, and always seems to be saying it's the the only show in town. Frame did do a lot of good to show that his view is not the classical presup arrogant argument, by extending commonalities with the other views, however he highlighted the truth, from my understanding, that presup is not an apologetic it at all. It is an attitude of the heart of the apologist. Presup is inconsistent when it tries to say you cannot use evidences and you don't need to when the core of their apologetic argument is an epistemological evidence. The transcendental argument at least in the way presup apologists us it is not actually in the scripture, making it an evidence of philosophy outside the bible. This of course undermines everything they are complaining about in the other camps.
