In Politics, Justice, and War, Joseph E. Capizzi clarifies the meaning and coherence of the -just war- approach, to the use of force in the context of Christian ethics. By reconnecting the just war ethic to an Augustinian political approach, Capizzi illustrates that the just war ethic requires emphasis on the -right intention, - or goal, of peace as ordered justice. With peace set as the goal of war, the various criteria of the...

ISBN: 9781625644275 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Acknowledgment has been made and apologies given. In Canada large amounts of compensation are...

Conscience the Path to Holiness: Walking with Newman
ISBN: 9781443867009 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The writings on the nature of conscience are many, and those of John Henry Cardinal Newman about conscience are among the very best.

Against the contemporary view that conscience means one's inalienable right to assert with impunity whatever one feels personally convinced of, this book reclaims a richer and more balanced presentation of conscience that avoids what Newman, in his day, called counterfeit conscience, that is, the right to assert self-will. But why the connection with...

The Cardinal and the Deadly: Reimagining the Seven Virtues and Seven Vices
ISBN: 9781610970013 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What makes for a good life? The seven deadly vices and seven holy virtues, ingrained in our cultural imagination, help us answer this perennial question. For two millennia, these fourteen character traits have stirred our imagination of human nature and desire. Sometimes, however, lists like the seven deadly sins remain mere caricatures that shame and exclude. The world, however, is not divided up into priests and convicts, saints and sinners, virtuous and vicious people. Much of the time, we live between the boundaries of vice and virtue. The Cardinal and the Deadly challenges simplistic...

ISBN: 9781507804735 / Angielski / Miękka / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

They believe that Satan is king over evil spirits, known as demons. It is widely believed that their abode, which is also the ever-lasting dwelling place of the wicked dead humans, is a burning hell. Dennis Moel has considered just about every reference, mention, and allusion to them that are found in the Holy Bible.
