In Revitalizing Theological Epistemology Steven B. Sherman addresses questions about what evangelical theology ought to be doing in light of the changing cultural situation. He wonders if the Christian faith should continue to be presented and defended mainly according to Enlightenment principles when growing criticism of modern thought is affecting virtually every discipline, and if evangelicalism and its intellectual leaders ought to wait it out or whether they should re-vision their theology. This book is about contemporary evangelical approaches to the knowledge of God, considering - and suggesting - ways Christian philosophers and theologians envision and make use of theological knowledge in the postmodern context.

Not himself a Marxist, Dr Churchich has nevertheless won plaudits for this book from those committed to the philosophy. It is, they acknowledge, thoroughly researched, well reasoned, and balanced in its argument - even if that argument is one with which Marxists are bound to disagree, being based on the premise that ethical theories must ultimately rest on metaphysical and psychological preconceptions rather than on some imaginary empirical facts. The declared aim of this work is to present a full exposition of Marxs and Engels ideas on morality and ethics, and to indicate some of their errors and weaknesses. Unlike other studies of this subject, Churchich analyses all major aspects of morality, dealing not only with the writings of Marx himself but also with the works of most writers who have commented on Marxist morality and ethics. Marx himself intended to produce a work on social morality, but did not manage to do so. This book will therefore, and without doubt, become the standard work on his view of the subject. Superior to anything else on the topic written by non-Marxists, it is clearer on some aspects of Marxs view than the work of some Marxist writers - Churchich makes obvious for instance, how great was Althussers mistake in arguing that there is not a grain of normative ethics in mature Marx. Yet the authors objectivity allows him also to find values among the ethical arguments of Marx and Engels, making this a book which both Marxists and concerned Anglicans would find useful as a criticism of some current social trends. It also sounds a cautionary note for those who argue that the collapse of bureaucratic socialism in the former Soviet Union means the end of Marxism too - this is by no means Dr Churchichs view.

This volume includes nine essays that move Ezekiels creative reuse of older materials to the foreground of discussion. The essays highlight the transformation of earlier texts, traditions, and theology in Ezekiel. They explore the diverse ways thatEzekiel reshapes Israels legal texts, rituals, oracles against foreign nations, royal ideology, conception of the individual, remembrance of the past, and hope for the future. The work concludes by noting the subsequent transformation of Ezekiel inscribal transmission and in the New Testament.

This book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the current understanding of evolution. The second part brings together the scientific picture with various responses to the God question. Science is a powerful discourse; it has unravelled for us the workings of nature, and technology has enabled us to apply the findings in many ways to further knowledge, to perform complex tasks, to further communication, and to make life easier and more exciting. But there are boundaries and limits to science. First, the final models of how nature is working are never the final word: they are always awaiting falsification, never blessed with certain verification. Second, the deeper one goes towards hoped-for truth, the more one is confronted with counter-intuitive models such as quantum theory, spooky-action at a distance, the dark energy of the vacuum, the Big Bang etc. Third, science cannot advance beyond the questions accessible by scientific experiment: questions about purpose and God, right and wrong, good and evil, are not accessible to science. Scientific conclusions, however, can then be subjected to reasonable analysis, philosophical reflection, aided perhaps by religious beliefs. Today a dilemma is often offered for consideration: either evolution by natural selection, or God and purpose. Is this delemma a false one? Can purposeful creation and natural selection both be true? Such are the features of evolution, one can argue strongly the case for a purpose. One can at least say belief in God sits well with evolutionary theory. To come to this conclusion we need to extend and improve our image of the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. God is intelligent, subtle, powerful- respectful of the freedom with which the divine will has endowed creation itself and homosapiens.

Douglas Daless Divine Remaking marks the 800th anniversary of the birth of St Bonaventure in 1217. Bonaventure distilled and transformed a rich inheritance of patristic and medieval exegesis of the Bible developed within the monastic tradition and in the university schools in Paris, Oxford and elsewhere. While teaching in Paris and then leading the Franciscans as their Minister General, Bonaventure wrote a substantial commentary on the Gospel of St Luke. This commentary is an eminent example of how his understanding of the Bible lay at the root of all that he taught and wrote. Bonaventures writing style reflects the beauty and ornate detail of contemporaneous works of art, stained glass, carvings in cathedrals and illuminated manuscripts. His writings, like the art of his day, are superb expressions of Christian theology and vision. Bonaventure had a formidable memory, and his capacity to draw from across the whole Latin Bible is extraordinary, instructive and enriching. His well-ordered mind was balanced, however, by a finely tuned spiritual and pastoral intuition, which makes his approach to the Gospels applicable and relevant to the reader of today. Divine Remaking is a bridge into Bonaventures thought; it allows his insight into St Lukes Gospel to be understood by anyone seeking the divine truth in todays world.

Although Kant considered him the greatest critic of his work, and Fichte thought him the most impressive mind of the generation, Salomon Maimon (1753-1800) has fallen into relative obscurity. Apiqoros: The Last Essays of Salomon Maimon draws attention to works written during the final years of Maimons life. These essays are of particular interest: they show that even though Maimon was a self-proclaimed apiqoros grappling with the implications of Kantian philosophy, his thinking remained deeply influenced by his Jewish intellectual inheritance, especially by Maimonides. The volume is divided into two parts. The first is a general account of Maimons intellectual biography, along with commentary on his final essays. The second part provides translations of those essays, the principal themes of which concern moral psychology. The reader is thus able to see the degree to which Maimon, at the end of his life, became skeptical of his effort to unite Kant and Maimonides, and remained a thinker caught "between two worlds." The book concludes with a translation of an account of Maimons final hours, penned by one of his friends.

The life of a philosopher is foremost the life of thinking but it is also the life of imagination that dreams of and investigates possibilities that might not otherwise have been raised. The life of a Christian is the life of Faith, Hope and Charity, and so it both looks to things beyond this world and regards this world with compassion. The two can work together. Faith softens reason, and reason sharpens Faith. Imagination finds new ways to articulate in concrete circumstances what has belonged to long traditions of thought. These essays cover a wide range of topics either by way of simple reflection on life or in response to issues that arose around the time of their writing. The period of their writing was a varied one. Life looked so stable in the mid-nineties that we contemplated Australia becoming a republic and sought Aboriginal reconciliation. It remained uncomplicated at the time of the Olympic Games in 2000 but became troubled by political events and by the terrorist attacks of 2001. The essays respond to the issues of this time. Four essays not published in the Weekly have been added to take note of more recent changes that have taken place in the Church and in our world.

This book aims to enable a user to become closely familiar with a limited number of Older Testament texts and so be in a position to form judgments about them and, resulting from that, to have an understanding of the nature of biblical text itself. Beyond this, the reality that these are key texts for the understanding of the Bible means that they have fundamental impact for the basics of faith today--our understanding of ourselves before God, essential to faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Israels prophets reflect on the role of God in human life; faith in Gods love, Gods passion for justice, the essential place of fidelity in faith. Israels foundational narratives explore the nature of human lives before God; they include issues such as creation, human freedom, and faith in Gods unshakeable commitment to human life. Alongside these concerns, there is the importance of getting a feel for the nature of scripture.

La actuación jurídica de la Iglesia Católica, tanto hacia el interior de la propia organización y fieles, como en su interacción con la sociedad y el ordenamiento jurídico español, suscita no pocas cuestiones de interes y actualidad. El presente volumen, que recoge las aportaciones de las 41ª Jornadas de Actualidad Canonica organizadas por la Asociacion Española de Canonistas, aborda alguna de estas cuestiones: en el ambito estrictamente canonico, se profundiza en la reciente reforma del derecho penal canonico, en el derecho sacramental y en temas relevantes de derecho matrimonial y procesal canonico, como la consideracion de la inmadurez afectiva en la nulidad del matrimonio, los fundamentos antropologicos del amor conyugal, y los retos y oportunidades que suscitan las nuevas tecnologias y la prueba digital en los procesos canonicos. Y tambien se incluyen cuestiones de suma actualidad relativas a la regulacion de la actuacion de la Iglesia en la sociedad, como la enseñanza de la religion en la escuela en la nueva ley de educacion, la regulacion del patrimonio historico de la Iglesia en el nuevo anteproyecto de ley, o cuestiones pendientes respecto a la situacion de las confesiones religiosas en la Ley Organica de Libertad Religiosa. Ademas, se incluyen en el presente volumen los estudios relativos a las novedades legislativas y jurisprudenciales que, tanto en Derecho canonico como en Derecho Eclesiastico del Estado, han visto la luz durante el ultimo año, que constituyen un instrumento muy util para la actualizacion de estudiosos y profesionales.

El objetivo de este libro es contribuir al desarrollo de una filosofía de nuestro tiempo para nuestro tiempo.La revolución digital acaba de empezar y tiene una magnitud que aún es difícil de dimensionar. Nos encontramos frente a un fenomeno novedoso, veloz, multifacetico, que sin duda esta escribiendo un nuevo capitulo en la historia de la humanidad. La vida, tal y como la conocemos hoy, se ha vuelto impensable sin la presencia de servicios, productos y practicas digitales; y la inteligencia artificial acapara ahora todas las miradas, desde que ha dado el salto de los laboratorios a una infinidad de aplicaciones cotidianas.Por su evolucion acelerada, los intereses que pone en juego y sus consecuencias todavia impredecibles, la inteligencia artificial puede emplearse tanto de forma etica como no etica. De alli que Luciano Floridi, uno de los mayores expertos en filosofia de la informacion, afirme que tenemos no solo la oportunidad, sino la obligacion de darle a esta nueva herramienta una forma positiva que beneficie a la humanidad y a nuestro planeta.Con este libro, el autor pretende contribuir al desarrollo de una filosofia de nuestro tiempo para nuestro tiempo. Porque no debemos caminar dormidos hacia la creacion de un mundo cada vez mas digital. El insomnio de la razon puede generar errores monstruosos, a veces irreversibles.

Hegels philosophy of mind is a systematically current conception due to its consistent anti-scientism and its multifaceted rejection of all forms of philosophical scepticism and its being a conception that has many references to pragmatism.In its detailed examination of Hegelian texts this book offers various systematic references to current philosophy of mind. From the starting point of a basis of action theory the specific moves of Hegels concept of mind are developed: The antidualistic synthesis of corporality and spirituality and the genuine sociability of the human mind create the framework in which Hegel develops a modern conception of concrete freedom.The primary goal of this book is to turn Hegels philosophy of mind into fertile terrain for the addressing of central problems of the present by bringing his systematic views into a dialogue with philosophical positions which have proponents today."Quantes Hegel deserves to play a significant role in discussions of the most important contemporary issue in philosophy: the nature and importance of human freedom." (Robert Pippin)

Most accounts of Canada and the First World War either ignore or merely mention in passing the churches experience. Canadian Churches and the First World War addresses this surprising neglect, exploring the marked relationship between Canadas Great War and Canadian churches in intricate detail. The authors of this volume provide a detailed summary of various Christian traditions and the war, both synthesising and furthering previous research. In addition to examining the experience of Roman Catholics (English and French speaking), Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, Mennonites, and Quakers, there are chapters on precedents formed during the South African War, the work of military chaplains, and the roles of church women on the home front. Reprinted in the centenary year of the conflicts outbreak, Canadian Churches and the First World War acts as a sobering reminder of the devastating impact the Great War had on Canada - and the rest of the world - in the early twentieth century. It will inspire those with a keen interest in theological, military and womens history, along with academics and students whose areas of research cover the monumental events of 1914-18. This article gives an exquisite insight into the stance of the Canadian churches during the First World War. - Martin Grechat, Theologische Literatur Zeitung 141. Jahrgang, Heft 4, April 2016

Bishop Stephen Neill was one of the most prolific, accomplished, and fascinating Christian leaders of the global church in the twentieth century. Privileged to live in radically different cultural contexts over the course of his life, Neill was also a supremely gifted individual. He excelled by turns as a missionary, a bishop, an ecumenist, a professor, and a prolific author, all the while travelling around the world to share his tremendous knowledge of the world Christian movement with scholars, clergy and laypersons alike. This is the first complete biography of this influential figure, and builds on Daughritys previous work Bishop Stephen Neill: From Edinburgh to South India (Peter Lang Publications, 2008). It stands to become the authoritative word on a man who understood Christianitys changing contours better than most during the dramatic diversification that it underwent during his lifetime.
