San Spirituality: Roots, Expression, and Social Consequences
ISBN: 9780759104310 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780761837855 / Angielski / Miękka / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The text offers conceptual support for the position that Christian theologizing in the Caribbean...
