By "the fear of freedom" Greer means the unconscious flight from the heavy burden of individual choice an open society lays upon its members. The miraculous represents a heavenly power brought down to earth and tied to the life of the community. Understanding how miracles were perceived in the late antiquity requires us to put aside the notion of a miracle as the violation of the natural order. "Miracles" for the church fathers refers to anything that evokes wonder. Rowan Greer is not concerned with conclusions about the truth or falsity of the miracles reported in the ancient sources. He... By "the fear of freedom" Greer means the unconscious flight from the heavy burden of individual choice an open society lays upon its members. The m... |

ISBN: 9781600965142 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Bible is not an infallible Book, in the sense in which it is popularly supposed to be infallible. When we study the history of the several books, (the history of the canon, the history of the distribution and reproduction of the manuscript copies, and the history of the versions, when we discover that the 'various readings' of the differing manuscripts amount to one hundred and fifty thousand, the impossibility of maintaining the verbal inerrancy of the Bible becomes evident. We see how human ignorance and error have been suffered to mingle with this stream of living water throughout all...

The book...

The Spirit of Classical Canon Law
ISBN: 9780820334639 / Angielski / Miękka / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the long reach of classical canon law--across Europe, well into modern times, and into such secular subjects as theft, wills, and the sale of goods--it has been the subject of far too few general studies in English. Illuminating the basic nature of the canon, this work explores the roles of moral, social, political, and religious values in the laws' development through the seventeenth century. At the same time, R. H. Helmholz makes relevant the attitudes and formal techniques of the laws' authors, practitioners, and interpreters. Helmholz first discusses the origins of the canon...

An Introduction to Canon Law Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780860123743 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Catholic canon law changes very slowly, but it constantly adds rules, interpretations, and applications. Some canons are frequently invoked, and others rarely used, quietly pass from memory. In the dozen or so years since this introduction to canon law was first written, there have been many changes and adaptations. This is one reason for a revised edition, although many of the alterations are too subtle to be captured in an introductory treatment. A second reason is to include some of the many new resources, commentaries, and explanations which authorities in the field have made available....

A Passion for Justice: A Practical Guide to the Code of Canon Law
ISBN: 9780852444788 / Angielski / Miękka / 616 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For many the law of the Church, canon law, has little meaning; it appears remote both from the Gospel and from the life of most people in the Church. Yet, it can impinge on them at times if a parish priest urges that a baptism be deferred, where a dispensation is needed for marriage or where there is a query about nullity of marriage. Recently, the scandals over clerical sexual abuse of children have drawn wider attention to the need for law also in the Church. At a time when it is popular to assert 'rights' of all sorts ― an identification of authentic rights and of corresponding...

Legal Flexibility and the Mission of the Church: Dispensation and Economy in Ecclesiastical Law
ISBN: 9781409420552 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Legal scholars and authorities generally agree that the law should be obeyed and should apply equally to all those subject to it, without favour or discrimination. Yet it is possible to see that in any legal system there will be situations when strict application of the law will produce undesirable results, such as injustice or other consequences not intended by the law as framed. In such circumstances the law may be changed but there may be broad policy reasons not to do so. The allied concepts of dispensation and economy grew up in the western and eastern traditions of the Christian church...

Upon This Rock: The Doctrine of the Papacy
ISBN: 9781463766672 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Ubi Petrus Ibi Ecclesia" Where Peter is, there is the Church. Jesus founded the Catholic Church on the rock, Peter, the first Pope. Many powers were given to Peter, which are transmitted to his successors until the end of time. Theologians consider these prerogatives of the Pope an essential part of the Catholic Church. Remove any of these attributes of the Pope, and the Papacy ceases to truly exist. The Pope, as Bishop of Rome is not merely the first among equals, but the head of the Catholic Church. In fact, the Church would not truly be Catholic and Apostolic without a visible head. The...
