Paul and the Rise of the Slave: Death and Resurrection of the Oppressed in the Epistle to the Romans
ISBN: 9789004296756 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Paul and the Rise of the Slave locates Paul's description of himself as a "slave of Messiah Jesus" in the epistolary prescript of Paul's Epistle to Rome within the conceptual world of those who experienced the social reality of slavery in the first century C.E. The Althusserian concept of interpellation and the Life of Aesop are employed throughout as theoretical frameworks to enhance how Paul offered positive ways for slaves to imagine an existence apart from Roman power. An exegesis of Romans 6:12-23 seeks to reclaim the earliest reception of Romans as prophetic...

ISBN: 9780195169478 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Western scholars have argued that Indian civilization was the joint product of an invading Indo-European people--the "Indo-Aryans"--and indigenous non-Indo European peoples.

In this book, Edwin Bryant explores the nature and origins of this fascinating debate.

What I Saw in California
ISBN: 9780803260702 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 455 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. First published in 1848, What I Saw in California has long been recognized as the foremost trail guide for the Forty-niners. Almost overnight, Edwin Bryant became their authority on how to survive the grueling passage from Independence, Missouri, to San Francisco, and how to prosper in the Promised Land. He also served as a literary model for the diarists among them. His popular book was based on journals describing fully his "tour" west in 1846. For the Kentucky newspaperman, it had been an undertaking with an uncertain outcome, since the overland trail was still faint and the fabled, remote...

Free Will, Agency, and Selfhood in Indian Philosophy
ISBN: 9780199922758 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Led by Buddhists and the yoga traditions of Hinduism and Jainism, Indian thinkers have long engaged in a rigorous analysis and reconceptualization of our common notion of self. Less understood is the way in which such theories of self intersect with issues involving agency and free will; yet such intersections are profoundly important, as all major schools of Indian thought recognize that moral goodness and religious fulfillment depend on the proper understanding of personal agency. Moreover, their individual conceptions of agency and freedom are typically nodes by which an entire school's...
