On the Priesthood: Classic and Contemporary Texts
ISBN: 9780742514959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Controversy about the Catholic priesthood is nothing new. Just like laity, priests (including bishops and popes) have always been sinners. Some priests, like some laity, have caused grave scandal throughout the 2000-year history of the Church. Two questions arise from this reality. Why did Jesus Christ establish a ministerial priesthood for his Church, if the priesthood would sometimes cause scandal--what did he intend for the priesthood? Second, what has the Catholic Church in past times done about scandal in the priesthood--how has the Church corrected its priests and encouraged priests to...

Jewish-Christian Dialogue and the Life of Wisdom: Engagements with the Theology of David Novak
ISBN: 9781441180636 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book inquires as to whether theological dialogue between Christians and Jews is possible, not only in itself but also as regards the emergence of communities of Messianic Judaism. In light of David Novak's insights, Matthew Levering proposes that Christian theological responses to supersessionism need to preserve both the Church's development of doctrine and Rabbinic Judaism's ability to define its own boundaries. The book undertakes constructive philosophical theology in dialogue with Novak. Exploring the interrelated doctrines of divine providence/theonomy, the image of God,...

The Betrayal of Charity: The Sins That Sabotage Divine Love
ISBN: 9781602583566 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Love was at one time a powerfully unifying force among Christians. In his letters, Paul consistently evokes charity as the avenue to both human and divine communion. If the magnitude of charity was of the upmost importance to early Christians, so were those sins that aimed to distract Christians from acting based on love. Taking seriously the efforts of Paul, and later Thomas Aquinas, to expose and root out the sins against charity, Matthew Levering reclaims the centrality of love for moral, and in fact all, theology. As Levering argues, the practice of charity leads to inner joy and... Love was at one time a powerfully unifying force among Christians.

Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?: Historical and Theological Reflections
ISBN: 9780198838968 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Resurrection of Jesus is at the very root of Christian faith; without belief in Jesus Christianity dies. In this thought-provoking work, Matthew Levering defends the credibility of the claim that Jesus rose from the dead. Drawing on the work of N. T. Wright, Levering shows that the historical evidence vindicates this assumption, and reveals that the Gospels were backed by eyewitnesses who were living and telling their stories even during the time of the writing of the Gospels. The author also emphasises the importance of evaluating the Old Testament to validate Jesus' Resurrection. By...

Biblical Natural Law: A Theocentric and Teleological Approach
ISBN: 9780199535293 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Natural law theory is controversial today because it presumes that there is a stable 'human nature' that is subject to a 'law.' How do we know that 'human nature' is stable and not ever-evolving? How can we expect 'law' not to constrict human freedom and potential? Furthermore if there is a 'law, ' there must be a lawgiver. Matthew Levering argues that natural law theory makes sense only within a broader worldview, and that the Bible sketches both such a persuasive worldview and an account of natural law that offers an exciting portrait of the moral life.
To establish the relevance of... Natural law theory is controversial today because it presumes that there is a stable 'human nature' that is subject to a 'law.' How do we know that 'h...

Mary\'s Bodily Assumption
ISBN: 9780268206550 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Mary’s Bodily Assumption, Matthew Levering presents a contemporary explanation and defense of the Catholic doctrine of Mary’s bodily Assumption. He asks: How does the Church justify a doctrine that does not have explicit biblical or first-century historical evidence to support it? With the goal of exploring this question more deeply, he divides his discussion into two sections, one historical and the other systematic. Levering’s historical section aims to retrieve the rich Mariological doctrine of the mid-twentieth century. He introduces the development of Mariology in Catholic...

Predestination: Biblical and Theological Paths
ISBN: 9780199604524 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Predestination has been the subject of perennial controversy among Christians, although in recent years theologians have shied away from it as a divisive and unedifying topic.
