Experiences in Theology
ISBN: 9780800632670 / Angielski / Miękka / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Theology always has been (and is for Moltmann) not an abstract or otherworldly endeavor but one nourished by, and responsive to, experiences in and with life itself. In this volume, the final in his series of systematic contributions to theology, Moltmann looks ahead from the landmarks of his own theological journey. He searches out those intersections of his own life with contemporary events that have kindled and impelled his theological thinking (part 1). The perspective of hope, the central moment in Moltmann's thought, is freshly explained, while other basic theological themes and...

Evil and the Mystics' God: Towards a Mystical Theodicy
ISBN: 9780802050007 / Angielski / Twarda / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Theodicies are systems of philosophy that attempt to rationalize the existence of evil in a God-centred world. They do not normally take into account the responses to evil by mystics, those who claim that truth can be attained by spiritual as well as by intellectual experience. Michael Stoeber analyses the contribution that mystical thought makes to establishing a reliable theodicy. Among the authors whose works he discusses are Dostoevsky, Leibniz, Voltaire, Hume, Kant, Meister Eckhart and Evelyn Underhill. The problem of evil is given an effective religious explanation only by... Theodicies are systems of philosophy that attempt to rationalize the existence of evil in a God-centred world.

The Naked Public Square: Religion and Democracy in America
ISBN: 9780802800800 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Underlying the many crises in American life, writes Richard John Neuhaus, is a crisis of faith. It is not enough that more people should believe or that those who believe should believe more strongly. Rather, the faith of persons and communities must be more compellingly related to the public arena. -The naked public square---which results from the exclusion of popular values from the public forum--will almost certainly result in the death of democracy.
The great challenge, says Neuhaus, is the reconstruction of a public philosophy that can undergird American life and America's ambiguous... Underlying the many crises in American life, writes Richard John Neuhaus, is a crisis of faith. It is not enough that more people should believe or th...

ISBN: 9780803296084 / Angielski / Miękka / 365 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The investigation of language, of how (and what and why) signifiers signify, is prominent in modern critical work, but the questions being asked are by no means new.

He goes on to illustrate the complexity and depth of medieval speculations about language and literature.
