ISBN: 9780824526726 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Opposing the common exclusion of God from an active role in human history, this work explains how His role exists and can be witnessed in humanity's complicated dualities--in time and space, war and peace, wealth and poverty, and love and hatred. Arguing that history is a master plan--that God, who is reason and love, wills human existence--Dr. Pursell weaves his thesis through both divine revelation and specific historical events. He explains in accessible terms that God's plan for human history is that of unity in opposing forces; that historical periods are secular constructs--despite...

Fortunate Fallibility: Kierkegaard and the Power of Sin
ISBN: 9780199790661 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For more than 1,500 years, the claim that Adam's Fall might be considered 'fortunate' has been Christianity's most controversial and difficult idea. While keepers of the Easter vigil in the fifth century (and later John Milton) praised sin only as a backhanded witness to the ineffability of redemption, modern speculative theodicy came to understand all evil as comprehensible, historically productive, and therefore fortunate, while the romantic poets credited transgression with bolstering individual creativity and spirit.
Jason Mahn's compelling study examines Kierkegaard's... For more than 1,500 years, the claim that Adam's Fall might be considered 'fortunate' has been Christianity's most controversial and difficult idea. W...

Saving Desire: The Seduction of Christian Theology
ISBN: 9780802866264 / Angielski / Miękka / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traditional Christian theology has generally treated desire as a dark and negative force intimately related to sin -- something to be restricted and repressed, closeted and controlled. But, according to LeRon Shults and Jan-Olav Henriksen's Saving Desire, we see only part of the picture if we do not also perceive that desire can be a powerful force for great good.
Grounding their work firmly in the experiential realm of human life, the eight eminent theologians contributing to this volume celebrate together the positivity, the sociality, and the physicality of saving desire -- that is,...

Jonathan Edwards and the Metaphysics of Sin
ISBN: 9780754638964 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jonathan Edwards (1703a 1758) is widely regarded as America's greatest philosopher-theologian. In the last half century there has been a resurgence of interest in Edwards' work from historians, theologians and philosophers, aided by the publication of the Yale edition of Edwards' Works. Edwards' thinking on sin has long been a mystery to scholars trying to fit his thought into the traditional categories of Reformed theology. What this study shows is that Edwards' theory of sin was an original contribution to philosophical theology, which can only be understood when read on its own terms as a...

If we have learned anything from recent advances in cosmology and astronomy, it is that we have only barely begun to comprehend the vastness of our universe and all that it contains. For Christians, this raises some fascinating questions:
If there are intelligent beings out there, what would be their relationship to what Christianity claims is a special history on Earth of life with God? Would the fact of persons on other planets banish or modify our understanding of God? Would it reduce the importance of Jesus? What role might goodness and evil play in extraterrestrial...
