The Christian Art of Dying: Learning from Jesus
ISBN: 9780802866721 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 423 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A renowned ethicist who himself faced death during a recent life-threatening illness, Allen Verhey in The Christian Art of Dying sets out to recapture dying from the medical world. Seeking to counter the medicalization of death that is so prevalent today, Verhey revisits the fifteenth-century Ars Moriendi, an illustrated spiritual self-help manual on -the art of dying.- Finding much wisdom in that little book but rejecting its Stoic and Platonic worldview, Verhey uncovers in the biblical accounts of Jesus' death a truly helpful paradigm for dying well and faithfully.

Robust Liberalism: H. Richard Niebuhr and the Ethics of American Public Life
ISBN: 9781602582521 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Concisely critiquing the internal contradictions and practical limitations of the social contract theory espoused by John Locke and John Rawls, Timothy Beach-Verhey presents a covenantal theory for political life based on H.

In so doing, he shows how such an understanding of both liberal democratic practices and Christian norms can...
