A dark plot unfolds in the western lands of the Kingdom of Swordbane with the formation of an unholy alliance, deliberate spread of a deadly affliction, and a newly conspired war looming on the horizon after the Kingdom of Swordbane has just emerged victorious from a bitter twenty-year-long war with its eastern rival neighbor. Masterminding this dark plot built on social malaise from corruption and an espoused propaganda of revisionism, a former vassal of the kingdom emerges who seeks to claim the status of the ultimate dark lord and chosen vessel. In seeking to receive special divine powers, this aspiring dark lord will pave a bloody path of death and destruction in order to ultimately create a new prosperous social and political order inspired from the ashes of the once-great Lupercalian Empire. Only a group of unlikely but personally connected heroes seek to stand in the way and fight back to preserve what is left of the kingdom. Throughout their trials and hardships, both the heroes and this ambitious dark lord will reflect upon their past life events while seeking to move forward with the challenges they face ahead in the ultimate war of perceived good versus evil. Whoever wins in this struggle, one thing is certain among all of them: life will never be the same.

In The End of Divine Truthiness, Paul Joseph Greene confronts stark realities of terrifying theologies that make a mockery out of divine love. With urgent resolve, Greene answers Martin Luther King, Jr.’s pointed challenge to overcome “reckless and abusive . . . power without love,” and “sentimental and anemic . . . love without power.” Too many theologies cast God either as the tyrant whose loveless power lifts up the mighty or the victim whose powerless love sends the poor away empty. Wielding Stephen Colbert’s word “truthiness” as a scalpel, Greene slices out one perilous theology after another to restore the wholesome truth that God is love. Supported by three world religions—Buddhism, Christianity, and Taoism—he discovers a remarkably harmonious and revolutionary divine power that is fully aligned with divine love. To reunify love and power here in the world, as King challenges, it is time to abandon ideologies of divine power that devastate divine love and promote atrocities. Greene’s call for “the end of divine truthiness” heralds a new day for the God whose love is power and whose power is love.

The present book differs widely in content, methods, and point of view from traditional presentations of the subject. Herein more space is devoted to the discussion of the basic concepts of distance, motion, area and perpendicularity. In fact, the non-Euclidean geometries are reached via general metric spaces and the Hilbert problem of finding those geometries in which straight lines are the shortest connections. Of course, the general problem is only formulated here; but this leads naturally to the consideration of geometries other than the Euclidean and two non-Euclidean ones, and thus to the modern view in which the three classical geometries are very special, and closely related, cases of general geometric structures. The overall aim is to counteract the impression of geometry as an isolated and static subject, and to present its methods and essential content as part of modern mathematics.
