ISBN: 9781498504942 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This is the first volume to examine Rawls based on Christian principles drawn from theological ethics, social thought, political theory and practical observation. In addition to theoretical perspectives,...

The seven deadly vices and seven holy virtues, ingrained in our cultural imagination, help us answer this perennial question.

The world, however, is not divided up into priests and convicts, saints and sinners, virtuous and vicious people. Much of the time, we live between the boundaries of vice and virtue. The Cardinal and the Deadly challenges simplistic...

Nevertheless, today, some people think Christianity, especially Calvinism, is largely responsible for many of our environmental problems. The language of exercising dominion, subduing the earth, creation mandate, and technological progress somehow suggests abuse, exploitation, and pollution. But are these...
