ISBN: 9780761834533 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Which sins should be legally tolerated and which outlawed? Are the reasons biblical or merely pragmatic? The Choice Principle confronts these crucial questions head-on, proposing an alternative interpretation...
