The Limits of Love: Some Theological Explorations
ISBN: 9780271008622 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Reflecting upon some problems of the moral life, Gilbert Meilaender considers their difficulties within a vision that accentuates not only the limits, but also the promise, of the Christian story. Created by God as finite beings, we make particular attachments. Redeemed by God for a community transcending nature and history, our love always carries us beyond the special bonds of time and place. We live, therefore, with a sense of permanent tension. If this tension heightens our sense of the perplexities of life, it should not free us from the obligation to probe, clarify, and (where...

Christian ethicist Gilbert Meilaender puzzles over the implications of the medical advances that have lengthened the human life span, wrestling with what this quest for living longer means for our conception of living well and completely.

The Way That Leads There: Augustinian Reflections on the Christian Life
ISBN: 9780802832139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Saint Augustine formulated the classic Christian understanding of desire, that -our hearts are restless until they rest in God.- Gilbert Meilaender maintains that this frustrated desire lies at the heart of our existence. In The Way That Leads There he takes Augustine as a -conversation partner- for exploring subjects that human beings have wrestled with for centuries -- desire, duty, politics, sex, and grief. Meilaender's carefully reasoned, insightful work rescues Augustine from many of our misperceptions and interacts meaningfully with both C. S. Lewis and Catholic moral theology,...

Theory and Practice of Virtue, The
ISBN: 9780268018528 / Angielski / Twarda / 1984 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many students of philosophical and theological ethics have recently experienced a renewed interest in what may be called an ethic of virtue. Such an ethic focuses less on the concept of duty—or doing—and more on being. Central to an ethic of virtue is a division of moral life that emphasizes character and character development or moral education. The Theory and Practice of Virtue presents a series of connected essays—drawing on the thoughts of such diverse figures as Josef Pieper, Plato Lawrence Kohlberg, and Martin Luther—which explore theories of virtue and the practical task...

Friendship
ISBN: 9780268009694 / Angielski / Miękka / 1981 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Certain relationships are of profound importance for human life and of great significance for the moral life. In Friendship: A Study in Theological Ethics, Gilbert C. Meilaender explores some of the tension which Christian experience discovers in one such relationship, that of the bond of friendship. These tensions help to explain why friendship was a more important topic in the life and thought of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome than it has usually been within Christendom. The bond of friendship--philia--involves special preference; Christian love--agape--is thought to be like...

Body, Soul, and Bioethics
ISBN: 9780268006983 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book noted theologian and ethicist Gilbert C. Meilaender examines how the field of bioethics has developed over the last quarter century and reconsiders some of its central concepts and arguments. Because the literature of bioethics has become increasingly less influenced by religious and theological concerns over the past three decades, it is Meilaender's specific aim to uncover and recapture the importance of theological reflection for current debates in bioethics. Meilaender suggests that the development of bioethics as a discipline in its own right has not been entirely benign. He...

Not by Nature But by Grace: Forming Families Through Adoption
ISBN: 9780268100681 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Working from within the contours of Christian faith, this book examines the relation between two ways of forming families--through nature (by procreation) and through history (by adoption). Christians honor the biological tie between parents and children, for it is the work of God in creation. Yet Christians cannot forget that it is adoption, and not simply natural descent, that is at the center of the New Testament's depiction of God's grace. Gilbert Meilaender takes up a range of issues raised by the practice of adoption, always seeking to do justice to both nature and history in the...
