Orestes Augustus Brownson - religious and philosophical explorer, political theorist, pioneer of personal journalism, Transcendentalist, and champion of American Catholicism - lived a colorful and varied life. His contemporaries likened him to a weathervane, changing direction with every puff of wind. He preferred to think of himself as a seeker after truth, never contented with yesterday's answers.
The roots of his varied career were sent down in his youth. He grew up, largely self-educated, in rural Vermont, encountered social inequality first-hand in the fashionable resort town of...

Best English Short Stories III
ISBN: 9780393309782 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the sixth annual collection of stories we consider to be the best by British and Commonwealth writers since our last volume. The two Irish writers we include, even the solitary Scot, will have gown wryly used to being classed British. But these days it edges towards the patronising to assume that the two Canadians chosen, the New Zealander and the South African, are still largely part of the same broad culture which of the English-speaking peoples excludes only America. Yet for literary purposes (including publishing) so things stand, even when these writers are busy extending...

Reformed Sacramentality
ISBN: 9780814663547 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Reformed Sacramentality, the late Graham Hughes discusses the role of physicality in worship. He contends that to counter the Reformed tradition's vulnerability to a cultural colonization by secular modernity, Reformed theology needs to amplify its appreciation for God's omnipresence in creation with a re-appropriation of the condensed symbols of faith. Hughes's argument builds on a historical analysis of the Reformed tradition's rejection of material sacramentality and its ecclesial and cultural consequences. From a late modern vantage point, Hughes advocates for a rediscovery... In Reformed Sacramentality, the late Graham Hughes discusses the role of physicality in worship.

ISBN: 9781606064313 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Much of how World War I is understood today is rooted in the artistic depictions of the brutal violence and considerable destruction that marked the conflict.

Autobiography of Adin Ballou: Annotated Edition
ISBN: 9780981640242 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Adin Ballou was a man of peace - the leader of the pacifist Hopedale Community, and a major theorist of nonviolent resistance to evil. Yet he was not of a naturally peaceful disposition. As a young minister he engaged in theological controversy so heated that his own party urged him to moderate his language. Though he never engaged in physical violence, Ballou knew what it was like to become caught up in an exchange of hostilities, to identify with one side and demonize the other, to feel injured and to wish to injure others in return.
In his autobiography, Ballou tells the story of his... Adin Ballou was a man of peace - the leader of the pacifist Hopedale Community, and a major theorist of nonviolent resistance to evil. Yet he was not ...

Christian Non-Resistance
ISBN: 9780972501712 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Christian Non-Resistance (1846) is the major philosophical statement by the nineteenth-century theorist of nonviolence, Adin Ballou.
Ballou argued that the Biblical injunction "resist not evil" should be understood as "resist not personal injury with personal injury." While prohibiting the injury of any person under any provocation whatsoever, Ballou taught that Christians have a duty to resist, oppose, or prevent evil by all uninjurious means, including the use of "uninjurious benevolent force." He believed that this would allow a community to adopt non-resistant principles while...
