ISBN: 9780367007829 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the past, Christianity has had both positive and negative influences on democracy.

In the future, Christian attitudes and actions concerning democracy will face a formidable challenge—both from inside and outside...

The Western Case for Monogamy Over Polygamy
ISBN: 9781107499171 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 550 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.
