					<description><![CDATA[<p>In 1989, the Supreme Leader of Iran called on Muslims to murder Salman Rushdie. Rushdie’s novel, Satanic Verses (a reference to apocryphal additions to the Quran), portrayed the prophet Muhammad in an unorthodox light, offending the Ayatollah. This event led to years of heightened security and protective detail around the author. Although Rushdie apologized and  [...]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Miroslav Volf perceives the world on a deeper level than most. He has given time and thought to the theological lens through which he understands existence—something self-evident in all of his works. Captive to the Word of God demonstrates this depth of perception. After an original essay which explains his method ("Reading the Bible Theologically"),  [...]</p>
