Welcome,
After much deliberation I have decided to start a blog, my goal is to explore a variety of issues, mainly surrounding spirituality, religion, theology, politics, culture and life in general. That opens up a large spectrum of areas to discuss and explore.
The meaning behind the name “Razing Empire” is a work in progress but it comes from a couple places, most recently a book I am reading called Resurrecting Empire by Rashid Khalidi, the subtitle of the book is “Western Footprints and America’s Perilous Path in the Middle East”, which will probably classify me more than I wish to be classified. This book explores the west’s past involvement in the middle east, their subsequent failures and the United States uncanny ability to not learn from the past. The other influence in my title is The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne, which goes into great detail about the need to go against the tide of empire in society. As far as Razing Empire, while it may not be an original title, I think you will find that this will be a common theme for my thoughts on the issues that I may discuss in the future. Thank you for taking the time to check things out here at Razing Empire.
Be Blessed.
Brian
