Conjugal Chastity in Pope Wojtyla
ISBN: 9781433106118 / Angielski / Twarda / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conjugal Chastity in Pope Wojtyla explains how Karol Wojtyla, philosopher, theologian, and Pope, tried to show how the sexual act, within the context of marriage, is an expression of love. After explaining how love as goodwill is the foundation of conjugal love, the correct relationship between love and justice is clarified. The negative dimension of the personalistic norm of Wojtyla is then critically examined. Conjugal love is explained in terms of conjugal beneficience based on conjugal benevolence. This love leads to total self-giving in each conjugal act. The procreative meaning...

The Mystery Hidden for Ages in God
ISBN: 9780820440392 / Angielski / Miękka / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Original sin, widely denied today, is nevertheless the condition in which our spiritual life begins. Fetal psychology helps one see original sin as a psychic negation of the created reflections in Christ of the traits of divine love within the Trinity. Hence, only through Christ can such damage be healed. But before we can live in the full freedom and power of the Holy Spirit, we must relive, in Jesus and as He did, all that God led His people through, from the fall of Adam till Jesus' death and resurrection. Through the spiritual sense of the Old Testament, each word of which speaks of...

Simon Episcopius' Doctrine of Original Sin
ISBN: 9780820481098 / Angielski / Twarda / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Simon Episcopius (1583-1643), who began his theological career as the protege of Jacobus Arminius, led the Arminians at the Synod of Dort and was instrumental in guaranteeing Arminianism s survival. This book breaks new ground by clearly showing how, in the process of working out the implications of the theological trajectories which Arminius established, Episcopius introduced significant changes in his master s theology. It begins by demonstrating changes between Episcopius early theological works and Arminius writings, and then even greater changes in his mature theological work,...

Trinity and Salvation: Theological, Spiritual and Aesthetic Perspectives

This book gathers together the proceedings of the conference Trinity and Salvation: Theological, Spiritual and Aesthetic Perspectives held at the Milltown Institute of Theology and Philosophy, Dublin, in February 2008. The last few decades have seen a significant revival in Trinitarian theology. From being perceived as an esoteric and speculative doctrine, the Trinity is increasingly seen as a resource from which a variety of theological and spiritual themes can usefully be explored. As Karl Rahner remarked, if the Trinity is a mystery of salvation, it cannot be disconnected from...

Knowing God by Name: A Conversation Between Elizabeth A. Johnson and Karl Barth
ISBN: 9780820478630 / Angielski / Miękka / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does women s experience matter for theological inquiry? Elizabeth Johnson s premise is that it does, and that the failure of traditional Trinitarian doctrine to account for women s relationality results in a too radical distinction between God and the world. Drawing on feminist ethics and God-talk, transcendental experience, and panentheistic Trinitarian theology, she constructs an alternative relational ontology and Trinitarian female symbol. Is her integration of these multiple systems viable? More importantly, can divine and human freedom, distinction and personhood be upheld within...

Aquinas's Notion of Pure Nature and the Christian Integralism of Henri de Lubac; Not Everything is Grace
ISBN: 9781433113932 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Twentieth-century Catholic theology was strongly affected by Henri de Lubac's claim that the western theological tradition went awry by allowing that one could have an adequate idea of human nature without reference to humanity's supernatural end. According to de Lubac, the culprits were early modern scholastics, and their mistake was the idea of pure nature. Aquinas's Notion of Pure Nature and the Christian Integralism of Henri de Lubac: Not Everything Is Grace contributes to the current literature criticizing de Lubac's thesis. Specifically, it offers an explanation for its enduring...

The Shame That Lingers: A Survivor-Centered Critique of Catholic Sin-Talk
ISBN: 9781433106767 / Angielski / Miękka / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Shame That Lingers: A Survivor-Centered Critique of Catholic Sin-Talk, A. Denise Starkey argues that the dominant legal model of sin in the Catholic Church is inadequate for hearing the experience of sin for survivors of childhood and domestic violence because it functions to shame rather than to heal. A universal understanding of the sinner, as found in mainstream Catholic sin-talk and confession, impedes human flourishing by silencing radical suffering in ways that make survivors complicit for the harm done to them. Starkey argues that a shame-free theology of sin is necessary...

Sacrifice and the Body: Biblical Anthropology and Christian Self-Understanding
ISBN: 9781409418825 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is sacrifice? For many people today the word has negative overtones, suggesting loss, or death, or violence. But in religions, ancient and modern, the word is linked primarily to joyous feasting which puts people in touch with the deepest realities. How has that change of meaning come about? What effect does it have on the way we think about Christianity? How does it affect the way Christian believers think about themselves and God? John Dunnill's study focuses on sacrifice as a physical event uniting worshippers to deity. Bringing together insights from social anthropology, biblical...

How can Catholic leaders effectively train and form members of our institutions in the Gospel values that are the ultimate foundation of Catholic identities? Internationally recognized author, educator, and facilitator Gerald A. Arbuckle argues that it is time to acknowledge that the programs and processes used in the past are inadequate to our postmodern age. The systems previously used to educate the staffs of our hospitals, universities, schools, and other institutions rarely succeed today. Although didactic teaching and discursive learning have their place, they cannot be the...

God and Grace of Body: Sacrament in Ordinary
ISBN: 9780199599967 / Angielski / Miękka / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. David Brown explores the ways in which the symbolic associations of the body and what we do with it have helped shape religious experience and continue to do so. A Church narrowly focused on Christ's body wracked in pain needs to be reminded that the body as beautiful and sexual has also played a crucial role not only in other religions but also in the history of Christianity itself. Dance was one way in which the connection was expressed. The irony is not that such a connection has gone but that it now exists almost wholly outside the Church. Much the same could be said about music more...

Radical Embodiment
ISBN: 9780227173534 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Radical embodiment" refers to an anthropology and an epistemology fundamentally rooted in our bodies as always in correlation with our natural and social worlds. All human rationality, meaning, and value arise not only instrumentally but also substantively from this embodiment in the world. Radical embodiment reacts against Enlightenment mind-body dualism, as well as its monistic offshoots, including the physicalism that reduces everything to component matter-energy at the expense of subjectivity and meaning. It also rejects certain forms of postmodernism that reinscribe modern dualisms....

The Physical Nature of Christian Life: Neuroscience, Psychology, and the Church

This book explores the implications of recent insights in modern neuroscience for the church's view of spiritual formation. Science suggests that functions of the brain and body in collaboration with social experience, rather than a disembodied soul, provide physical basis for the mental capacities, interpersonal relations, and religious experiences of human beings. The realization that human beings are wholly physical, but with unique mental, relational, and spiritual capacities, challenges traditional views of Christian life as defined by the care of souls, a view that leads to inwardness...

David Kelsey expertly probes this complicated issue in his exhaustive and ambitious examination of theological anthropology. Divided into three parts, Kelsey's work posits that humanity's relationship to God is a basic claim of Christianity and that God actively relates to human beings in three major ways: God creates them, God is there at the end of all things eschatologically, and God reconciles humans when they are alienated from God. The result of this seminal theological work is a textured affirmation of humanity's relationship with God and with... What does it mean to be a human being?
