Noted theologian and ethicist Ted Peters accessibly relates the science of stem cells and regenerative medicine in lay terms as he traces the deeply divided ethical debate to three very different moral frameworks and shows the deepest and legitimate concerns of each, including the secular ethical framework employed in most medical ethics. Peters also offers fundamental theological reflection on this great choice, especially insights from theological anthropology. Peters's work is not only a unique guide but also a real model for how honest, religiously informed ethics can be practiced today.

The Survivors of Israel: A Reconsideration of the Theology of Pre-Christian Judaism
ISBN: 9780802844835 / Angielski / Miękka / 774 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study challenges the conventional view of scholars like E. P. Sanders that Late Second Temple Judaism was theologically nationalistic, offering in its place a theory which argues that the intertestamental writings do not anticipate the salvation of all Jews but only of a faithful remnant within Israel. Working carefully with the major books of the pseudepigrapha and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mark Adam Elliott shows that the authors of such works anticipated an imminent -- and scathing -- judgment of Israel that would exclude many, or even most, Israelites from the saved community. This...

With extraordinary chutzpa and deep philosophical seriousness, Solomon ben Joshua of Lithuania renamed himself after his medieval intellectual hero, Moses Maimonides. Maimon was perhaps the most brilliant and certainly the most controversial figure of the late-eighteenth century Jewish Enlightenment. He scandalized rabbinic authorities, embarrassed Moses Mendelssohn, provoked Kant, charmed Goethe, and inspired Fichte, among others.
