Spirit and the Politics of Disablement
ISBN: 9780800662196 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Less Than Two Dollars a Day: A Christian View of World Poverty and the Free Market
ISBN: 9780802817679 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christian tradition demands basic sustenance for all as a human right. Yet the contemporary capitalist economy makes no such demands, and the free market is not designed to provide basic human sustenance. As Western Christians, how ought we to solve this conundrum? Kent Van Til maintains that the gulf between the two calls for an alternative system of distribution. In this constructively critical work Van Til takes a hard look at the realities of life in a free-market system, including illuminating examples from his own experience in Latin America. He considers how the contemporary capitalist...
