ISBN: 9780268009878 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With creation of the universe as its focus and a deeper understanding of human freedom as its goal, Freedom and Creation in Three Traditions is a work of philosophical theology that brings together Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives on the complex questions surrounding divine and human freedom. Burrell shows how the three traditions (each avowing the free creation of the universe by God) have developed a view of free human actors in relation to their initial affirmations that the universe is freely created by God. The concept of a free creation of the universe forms a motif for...

Virtue in Dialogue: Belief, Religious Diversity, and Women's Interreligious Encounter
ISBN: 9781620323915 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religious diversity is a persistent theological predicament for Christian thinkers. Historically, theologians have wrestled with the relationship between believing Christians and religious others. The clash between the Christian doctrine of salvation and non-Christian belief systems often comes down to the question, can non-Christians be "saved"? In a pluralist world, a second question arises: can believers of divergent traditions reconcile their theological differences? Is the logical answer that one believer abandon her faith convictions and promote a relativistic mindset? This book draws...

A Contemporary Theology for Ecumenical Peace
ISBN: 9781137397966 / Angielski / Twarda / 57 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Humanity's long history of intermittent conflicts and contemporary violence undermines Christian's (and their Jewish and Muslim fellow believers) religious confidence in and moral commitment to world peace. The principal issue is the ambiguity of God's presence and action in the world as we experience it.

Es wird dafur argumentiert, dass angesichts der fur die Okumene konstitutiven Spannung von Identitat und Differenz nur ein starker Identitatsbegriff, der kulturwissenschaftlich fundiert und theologisch reflektiert ist, zu erhellen vermag, wie konfessionelle Identitat in okumenischen Prozessen problematisiert und durch...

Christe Eleison!: The Invocation of Christ in Eastern Monastic Psalmody C. 350-450
ISBN: 9783034317894 / Angielski / Miękka / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For centuries the Jesus Prayer has been leading Orthodox Christians beyond the language of liturgy and the representations of iconography into the wordless, imageless stillness of the mystery of God. In more recent years it has been helping a growing number of Western Christians to find a deeper relationship with God through the continual rhythmic repetition of a short prayer which, by general agreement, first emerged from the desert spirituality of early monasticism. In this study James Wellington explores the understanding and practice of the psalmody which underpinned this spirituality. By...
