Catholic Theological Ethics: Ancient Questions, Contemporary Responses
ISBN: 9780761866879 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book has two objectives, one explicit and one implicit. The explicit objective is to explore the normative implications for both general and sexual ethics of the methodological and anthropological developments in Catholic tradition. The implicit objective is to stimulate dialogue in the Church about ethics, particularly sexual ethics, a dialogue that must necessarily include all in the communion-Church, laity, theologians, and hierarchy. Since we believe that genuine and respectful dialogue about sexual morality is sorely needed to clarify Christian truth today, we intend this book to be...

Karl Barth's Infralapsarian Theology: Origins and Development, 1920-1953
ISBN: 9780830851324 / Angielski / Miękka / 319 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Theologians have long assumed that Karl Barth's doctrine of election is supralapsarian. Challenging decades of scholarship, Shao Kai Tseng argues that despite Barth's stated favor of supralapsarianism, his mature lapsarian theology is complex and dialectical, critically reappropriating both supra- and infralapsarian patterns of thinking. Barth can be described as basically infralapsarian because he sees the object of election as fallen humankind and understands the incarnation as God's act of taking on human nature in its condition of fallenness. Tseng shows that most of Barth's Reformed...

ISBN: 9781619027183 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Original sin is the Western world's creation story." According to the Christian doctrine of original sin, humans are born inherently bad, and only through God's grace can they achieve salvation. In this captivating and controversial book, acclaimed historian James Boyce explores how this centuries-old concept has shaped the Western view of human nature right up to the present. Boyce traces a history of original sin from Adam and Eve, St. Augustine, and Martin Luther to Adam Smith, Sigmund Freud, and Richard Dawkins, and explores how each has contributed to shaping our conception of...

God and Eros
ISBN: 9781625649331 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What can God and eros have to do with each other? Against Nietzsche's claim that Christianity poisoned eros, God and Eros rereads the mystery of human love as an ecstatic sharing in the mystery of the triune God who is Love. Body, sex, and affectivity, far from being locked in a lower order called ""nature,"" instead belong to a sacramental order that is permeated by the call to love. In presentations designed to appeal to a general audience, the faculty of the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family, Melbourne, approach this mystery through the lens of St. John Paul II's ""theology of...

The Resounding Soul
ISBN: 9781498232074 / Angielski / Miękka / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is surely not coincidental that the term ""soul"" should mean not only the center of a creature's life and consciousness, but also a thing or action characterized by intense vivacity (""that bike's got soul ""). It also seems far from coincidental that the same contemporary academic discussions that have largely cast aside the language of ""soul"" in their quest to define the character of human mental life should themselves be so--how to say it?--bloodless, so lacking in soul. This volume arises from the opposite premise, namely that the task of understanding human nature is bound up with...

Intelligent Mars I: Sacred Geometry of the Mountains. Did Da Vinci Know?

The key finding of this work is that the landscape did not come about solely by natural processes but has been largely engineered by a highly advanced civilization many eons ago.
Using special techniques to obtain accurate coordinates of mountain positions, it is shown in Intelligent Mars I that the major mountains on Mars are artificially arranged in sacred geometric patterns. One of the patterns is the arrangement of Olympus Mons and the 3 Tharsis Montes which is probably... Intelligent Mars is a 3-volume series devoted to the study of Martian topography.

The "Great War" was a prolonged debate between Lewis and Barfield, fraught with subtle metaphysical and philosophical distinctions. Even Lewis scholars find the arguments and their implications difficult to grasp.

Religion - eine Macht des Widerstands; Der Kontemplationsbegriff Thomas Mertons in einer Welt der Gewalt
ISBN: 9783631496589 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. -Ist die Welt ein Problem?- Diese Frage stellt sich der Trappistenmonch Thomas Merton in der klausurierten Abgeschiedenheit seines Klosters. Sein Widerstand gegen eine weltentfremdete Klosterwelt wird zum Paradigma seiner Sicht von Welt und Religion. So wie Kloster und Welt miteinander korrespondieren, bilden auch Gott und Welt, Kontemplation und Aktion eine kontrastierte Einheit. Die Spaltung dieser Kontraste in Gegensatze fuhrt zu einer Weltsicht, die mit Gewalt und totalitaren Strukturen operiert. Als Menschen des Widerstands gegen totalitare Ideologien beschreibt Merton Franz Jagerstatter...

Role of Death in Life
ISBN: 9781498209601 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The relation between life and death is a subject of perennial relevance for all human beings--and indeed, the whole world and the entire universe, in as much as, according to the saying of ancient Greek philosophy, all things that come into being pass away. Yet it is also a topic of increasing complexity, for life and death now appear to be more intertwined than previously or commonly thought. Moreover, the relation between life and death is also one of increasing urgency, as through the twin phenomena of an increase in longevity unprecedented in human history and the rendering of death,...

How can we, in our times, understand the biblical concept that human beings have been created in the image of an invisible God?

As normative, counter-factual notions, human dignity and the imago Dei...
