Purpose and Providence: Taking Soundings in Western Thought, Literature and Theology
ISBN: 9780567663429 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do our lives have purpose? Despite the rise of secularism, we are still confronted by a sense of meaning and direction in the events of history and our own lives - something which is beyond us and not our own creation/imagination. Using the novels of Thomas Hardy and Julian Barnes, Vernon White tracks this belief in intellectual history and tests its resilience in modern literature. Both novelists portray modern and late-modern scenarios where, although the idea of an objective purpose has been deconstructed, it still haunts the protagonists.
Using literature as the starting point,... Do our lives have purpose? Despite the rise of secularism, we are still confronted by a sense of meaning and direction in the events of history and ou...

Catholicism and Evolution: A History from Darwin to Pope Francis
ISBN: 9781621381372 / Angielski / Miękka / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Catholics, the question of evolution touches on all the most important topics: the nature of God and his work in the world, the nature of life, and the status of man in the universe. It is also a subject of perennial controversy and confusion. Some see the Darwinian theory of evolution as a major agent in discrediting the Church's doctrine on creation, undermining biblically-based morality and the concept of human exceptionalism. Others regard Darwinian theory as compatible with biblical faith and Catholic tradition. Has the Church itself "evolved"? Or are there certain truths that are...

William James called his classic work, The Varieties of Religious Experience, ""a study in human nature.""

The Heart Has Its Reasons: Towards a Theological Anthropology of the Heart
ISBN: 9780227175873 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores a hitherto neglected area of theological anthropology: the unity of human emotionality and rationality embodied in the biblical concept of the heart. While the theological contours of human reason have for long been clearly drawn and presented as the exclusive seat of the image of God, affectivity has been relegated to a secondary position. With the reintegration of the body into recent philosophical and theological discourses, a number of questions have arisen: if the image (also) resides in the body, how does this change one's view of the theological significance of human...

Innovative Catholicism and the Human Condition gives an anthropological account of a progressive religious movement in the Roman Catholic Church that is attempting to reconcile religious conviction and reason, and, ergo, modify the human condition. Investigation is given to a representative group of this movement, "Innovative Catholics," who are endeavouring to maintain the momentum for change which began in the 1960s and 1970s. They now find themselves caught between traditional notions of religion and a secularised society, while trying to reconcile these polarising forces to find a...

Evolution der Ethik
ISBN: 9783110408119 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 664 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are conflicts in moral judgment between philosophies, between cultures, and even inside an individual conscience. This study takes an interdisciplinary approach focused on modern evolutionary biology to show that such contradictions are systemically determined in a social, functional world. The resulting model of a "relation-type ethics" offers a foundation for better understanding human ethics as a whole. There are conflicts in moral judgment between philosophies, between cultures, and even inside an individual conscience. This study takes an interdi... |

Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Ethical Self: Christology, Ethics, and Formation
ISBN: 9781451496260 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume argues that Bonhoeffer's early work, particularly his Christocentric anthropology, grounds his later expressed commitments to responsibility and faithfulness in a "world come of age." Ellison suggests, in fact, that a concern for otherness permeates all of Bonhoeffer's work: a Christian self-defined by its orientation towards otherness.
