This book offers an accessible overview of the achievements of Laudian culture, so much of which was destroyed in the Civil Wars. Some eighty years after the Reformation, the brief span of the Anglican Counter-Reformation in the 1620s and 1630s saw a revival of the arts in the Church.

The Promise of Critical Theology: Essays in Honour of Charles Davis
ISBN: 9780889202542 / Angielski / Miękka / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Written in tribute to one of the foremost Catholic theologians in the English-speaking world, the essays in The Promise of Critical Theology address the question: Can critical theology secure its critical operation without undermining its foundation in religious tradition and experience? Is "critical theology" simply an oxymoron when viewed from both sides of the equation? From Marc Lalonde's introductory essay which delimits Davis' fundamental position, that the primary task of critical theology is the critique of religious orthodoxy, the essays examine Davis' distinction...

Muslim Spaces of Hope: Geographies of Possibility in Britain and the West
ISBN: 9781848133006 / Angielski / Twarda / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Debates about contemporary Islam and Muslims in the West have taken some negative turns in the depressing atmosphere of the war on terror and its aftermath.

It argues that there are grounds for hope in many areas of everyday life, and...
