Biblical Excellence for students
ISBN: 9781517047429 / Angielski / Miękka / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Excellence is often thought of in light of academics or athletics. An excellent student often has certificates, degrees, awards, even a good paying job to prove their level of academic excellence. Likewise, an excellent athlete has awards, medals, trophies, even a position on a professional sports team that shows how excellent an athlete they are. The world's judgment of excellence is based on recognition and reputation. If someone is known worldwide, that person has a reputation for being an excellent individual. However, Christians are not judged by the world's standards of excellence. It...

Genocide, infanticide, the destruction of entire peoples-these are among the acts of violence commanded or condoned by Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament.

Description: Principles-based biomedical ethics has been a dominant paradigm for the teaching and practice of biomedical ethics for over three decades.

We Answer to Another
ISBN: 9781498267496 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The quest to escape authority has been a persistent feature of the modern world, animating liberals and Marxists, Westerners and non-Westerners alike. Yet what if it turns out that authority is intrinsic to humanity? What if authority is characteristic of everything we are and do as those created in God's image, even when we claim to be free of it? What if kings and commoners, teachers and students, employers and employees all possess authority? This book argues that authority cannot be identified with mere power, is not to be played off against freedom, and is not a mere social construction....

The Perspective of Love
ISBN: 9781498265973 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Description: While many of the Reformers considered natural law unproblematic, many Protestants consider natural law a ""Catholic thing,"" and not persuasive. Natural law, it is thought, competes with the Gospel, overlooks the centrality of Christ, posits a domain of pure nature, and overlooks the noetic effects of sin. This ""Protestant Prejudice,"" however strong, overlooks developments in contemporary natural law quite capable and willing to incorporate the usual objections into natural law. While the natural law itself is universal and invariant, theories about the natural law vary...

This third volume of Ken Vauxs memoirs covers the calendar year of 2012 which focused on (1) teaching in the Evanston church as this body struggled to be both evangelical in theology and oriented to social justice in the community. We searched together for having what it takes to be a ""University Church""--preaching and teaching a credible and relevant message and living out a vital witness; seeking honest responses to issues in church and state such as homosexuality, embodying concern for the poor and lively ministry in the neighborhoods of the parish.

The Power of the West in the Economy of Grace
ISBN: 9781498266833 / Angielski / Twarda / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Description:
The overall problem raised in this book is that the Western culture of modern rationality, power, and economics departs from a rather narrow, secular and ego-centric worldview. Therefore, it does not recognize the identity of traditional cultures and religions nor social, economic, or ecological justice in relation to the rest of the world. Western religion has, over history, often played a legitimating role for political power, and the expansion of institutional structures and has therefore lost much of its prophetic identity to be signs of peace, justice, and unity. The... Description:

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.
