Out of This World: Colliding Universes, Branes, Strings, and Other Wild Ideas of Modern Physics
ISBN: 9780387029306 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience. I also hope to give some appreciation of the exceptionally creative people who have generated these ideas. I had no intention of writing a comprehen- sive history of these ideas, however; I apologize to those physicists whose important contributions I may have omitted. Several people have contributed directly to the writing of this book, and I would like to take this chance to thank them. Clive Horwood of Praxis Publishing and Paul Farrell of Copernicus...

The Divine Voice
ISBN: 9781610977579 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Endorsements:
"Webb offers a carefully and creatively wrought phenomenology of sound, showing its relation to the proclamation of Gods Word. His keen insights on the primordial nature of sound, speech, and hearing will force theologians to examine, once again, what it means to be a hearer of the Word. Webb masterfully displays the intrinsic relationship between dynamic listening and speech--how intent hearing and confident proclamation are intimately conjoined. He has the rare gift of combining acute theological insight with a mellifluous, readable style. The nature of Gods own Word here... Endorsements:

The Gifting God: A Trinitarian Ethics of Excess
ISBN: 9780195102550 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Theories of generosity, or gift giving, are becoming increasingly important in recent work in philosophy and religion. Stephen Webb seeks to build on this renewed interest by surveying a distinctively modern and postmodern approach to the issue of generosity, and then developing a theological framework for it. He contends that in many ways society has become suspicious of charity and generosity. This cynicism has led to quick and easy judgments, that, in turn, have led to a new orthodoxy with its own troubling consequences. Webb believes that we need to recover the generosity that our culture...

New Eyes on the Universe Twelve Cosmic Mysteries and the Tools We Need to Solve Them gives an up-to-date broad overview of some of the key issues in modern astronomy and cosmology.

Measuring the Universe: The Cosmological Distance Ladder
ISBN: 9781852331061 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A unified treatment of the various techniques used for distance determination. The text begins by describing methods to measure distances on Earth, then gradually climbs the "distance ladder" to enable us to estimate the distance to the farthest objects, ending with a discussion of particle horizons within an expanding and inflationary universe. Aimed at first-year astronomy and astrophysics undergraduates, the book emphasises general physical principles rather than mathematical detail, and is enhanced and complemented by many worked examples, questions and problem-solving exercises at the...

Jesus Christ, Eternal God: Heavenly Flesh and the Metaphysics of Matter
ISBN: 9780199827954 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this groundbreaking study, Stephen H. Webb offers a new theological understanding of the material and spiritual: that, far from being contradictory, they unite in the very stuff of the eternal Jesus Christ. Accepting matter as a perfection (or predicate) of the divine requires a rethinking of the immateriality of God, the doctrine of creation out of nothing, the Chalcedonian formula of the person of Christ, and the analogical nature of religious language. It also requires a careful reconsideration of Augustine's appropriation of the Neo-Platonic understanding of divine incorporeality...

The sister volume to Political Parties in Advanced Industrial Democracies, this book offers a systematic and rigorous analysis of parties in some of the world's major new democracies. Drawing on a wealth of expertise and data, the book assesses the popular legitimacy, organizational development and functional performance of political parties in Latin America and post-communist Eastern Europe. It demonstrates the generational differences between parties in the old and new democracies, and reveals contrasts among the latter. Parties are shown to be at their most feeble in those recently...

Catholic and Mormon
ISBN: 9780190265922 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What could Roman Catholicism and Mormonism possibly have to learn from each other? On the surface, they seem to diverge on nearly every point, from their liturgical forms to their understanding of history. With its ancient roots, Catholicism is a continuous tradition, committed to the conservation of the creeds, while Mormonism teaches that the landscape of Christian history is riddled with errors and apostasy and in need of radical revision and spiritual healing. Additionally, successful proselyting efforts by Mormons in formerly Catholic strongholds have increased opportunities for...

The Dome of Eden: A New Solution to the Problem of Creation and Evolution
ISBN: 9781606087411 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Description: What would biology look like if it took the problem of natural evil seriously? This book argues that biological descriptions of evolution are inherently moral, just as the biblical story of creation has biological implications. A complete account of evolution will therefore require theological input. The Dome of Eden does not try to harmonize evolution and creation. Harmonizers typically begin with Darwinism and then try to add just enough religion to make evolution more palatable, or they begin with Genesis and pry open the creation account just wide enough to let in a little...

Mormon Christianity: What Other Christians Can Learn from the Latter-Day Saints
ISBN: 9780199316816 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mormons are adamant that they are Christian, and eloquent writers within their own faith have tried to make this case, but no theologian outside the LDS church has ever tried to demonstrate just how Christian they are. Stephen H. Webb's Mormon Christianity: What Other Christians Can Learn from the Latter-day Saints fills this void, as the author writes neither as a critic nor a defender of Mormonism but as a sympathetic observer who is deeply committed to engaging with Mormon ideas. Webb is unique in taking Mormon theology seriously by showing how it provides plausible...

On God and Dogs: A Christian Theology of Compassion for Animals
ISBN: 9780195152296 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many of us keep pet animals; we rely on them for companionship and unconditional love. For some people their closest relationships may be with their pets. In the wake of the animal rights movement, some ethicists have started to re-examine this relationship, and to question the rights of humans to "own" other sentient beings in this way. In this engaging and thought-provoking book, Stephen Webb brings a Christian perspective to bear on the subject of our responsibility to animals, looked at through the lens of our relations with pets--especially dogs. Webb argues that the emotional bond...
