Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion: Volume 4: Prayer in Religion and Spirituality (2013)
ISBN: 9789004260481 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prayer is a phenomenon which seems to be characteristic not only of participants in every religion, but also men and women who do not identify with traditional religions. It can be practised even by those who do not believe either in a God or transcendent force. In this sense, therefore, we may assert that the prayer is a typically human activity that has accompanied the development of different civilizations over the course of the centuries. Both the material issues of concrete daily life as well as more symbolic elements expressed through words, gestures, body positions, and community...

Maat, La Philosophie de la Justice de L'Ancienne Egypte
ISBN: 9782366700145 / Francuski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Maat, traduite par les egyptologues par deesse de la Verite Justice est un concept demeure obscur, malgre l'abondance des sources archeologiques a notre disposition. Comment se fait-il qu'il soit si difficile de cerner l'idee de justice des anciens egyptiens ? Les specialistes estiment que la raison essentielle tient a ce que l'univers de pensee de l'ancienne Egypte nous est etranger. Ils ont parfaitement raison. En effet, que peut-il y avoir de commun au regard de la justice entre un peuple qui s'interesse avant tout a la la force de vie et a sa juste circulation et un peuple centre avant...

Theory and Method in the Study of Religion: Twenty Five Years on
ISBN: 9789004256019 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Theory and Method are two words that cause considerable consternation in the academic study of religion. Although everyone claims to be aware of and to engage them, the fact of the matter is that they remain poorly understood. Some see the terms as irritants that get in the way of data interpretation and translation. Others may invoke them sporadically to appear in vogue but then return quickly and myopically to their material and with little concern for the larger issues that such terms raise. To contribute to these debates, the present volume reproduces select articles from Method and...

Blood: A Critique of Christianity
ISBN: 9780231167208 / Angielski / Twarda / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Blood, according to Gil Anidjar, maps the singular history of Christianity. As a category for historical analysis, blood can be seen through its literal and metaphorical uses as determining, sometimes even defining Western culture, politics, and social practices and their wide-ranging incarnations in nationalism, capitalism, and law. Engaging with a variety of sources, Anidjar explores the presence and the absence, the making and unmaking of blood in philosophy and medicine, law and literature, and economic and political thought from ancient Greece to medieval Spain, from the Bible...

Human Language and Knowledge in the Light of Chalcedon
ISBN: 9780820427287 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There have been many responses to the problem of how human language and knowledge function in relation to God. "Human Language and Knowledge in the Light of Chalcedon" breaks new ground by suggesting that the relation between humanity and divinity found in the "Chalcedonian Definition of the Faith" (A.D. 451) can make one of Christian theology's basic tasks look rather different. In the light of a dynamic reading of Chalcedonian christology, the author discusses analogy, metaphor, and symbol, as well as fundamental questions about human knowledge. Some old pitfalls are avoided and an...

Christian Faith, Justice, and a Politics of Mercy: The Benevolent Community
ISBN: 9780739186855 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christian Faith, Justice, and a Politics of Mercy: The Benevolent Community assumes that the most profound moral conflict today is between two virtues--justice and mercy. Gilman argues that the two are organically linked through the common experience of compassion. In an unjust world, justice cannot establish itself, but requires, in public as well as private life, projects of merciful benevolence. Mercy alone has the power to subvert patterns of injustice, and mercy and projects of benevolence are tailored to establish and sustain patterns of justice, especially fair economic outcomes. To...

Theology and the Dialectics of History (Revised)
ISBN: 9780802067777 / Angielski / Miękka / 732 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this challenging work Robert M. Doran explores the basis of systematic theology in consciousness, and goes on to consider the practical role of such theology in establishing and fostering communities with an authentic way of life. This way of life would counteract the distortions and deformations of humanity that are exemplified by both late capitalism and Marxism. Theology positions and interpretations today, argues Doran, must be stated in the categories of a theory of history. The first part of the book outlines the horizon required for such categories. The second, third, and... In this challenging work Robert M. Doran explores the basis of systematic theology in consciousness, and goes on to consider the practical role of ... |

Ricoeur on Moral Religion: A Hermeneutics of Ethical Life
ISBN: 9780198717157 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Ricoeur on Moral Religion, James Carter argues that Paul Ricoeur's later philosophical writings provide a highly instructive interpretive key with which to assess his philosophical project as a whole. This first systematic study of the "later Ricoeur" offers a critical yet sympathetic reconstruction of Ricoeur's hermeneutics of ethical life, which demonstrates his significant contribution to contemporary philosophy of religion and moral philosophy. What emerges is a clear and distinctive moral religion that binds humans together universally on the basis of the life they share as capable...

"Recent years have seen significant changes in the various institutions sponsored and operated by the Catholic Church. Probably one of the most important of these is the fact that the governance of these institutions - works of education, health care, aged care, and social services - is now in the hands of lay persons, rather than being directed by clergy or religious. This change has led to remarkable progress is many ways. Nevertheless, there remains the question of the preparation being given to those who now find themselves in a governance position for a work operating on behalf of the...

The Fall and Hypertime
ISBN: 9780198712695 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Frequently, alleged irreconcilable conflicts between science and religion are instead misdescribed battles concerning negotiable philosophical assumptions--conflicts between metaphysics and metaphysics. Hud Hudson provides a two-stage illustration of this claim with respect to the putative inconsistency between the doctrines of The Fall and Original Sin and the deliverances of contemporary science. The tension in question emerges through a study of the many forms the religious doctrines have assumed over the centuries and through a review of some well-established scientific lessons on the...
