Download or read book A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life written by William Law and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1728 at the beginning of the Enlightenment when rational criticism of religious belief was at its peak, William Law’s work succeeded in inspiring the most cynical men of the age with its arguments in favor of a spiritual life. Proclaiming that God does not merely forgive our disobedience, but directly calls us to obedience and to a life completely centered in him, Law declares, “If you will here stop and ask yourself why you are not as pious as the primitive Christians were, your own heart will tell you that it is neither through ignorance nor inability, but because you never thoroughly intended it.” Law’s prose is packed with vivid imagery and illustrative anecdotes that both reveal what it means to lead a Christian life and unmask the perversion of Christian tenets by secular and spiritual establishments. This challenge of conventional piety and emphasis on Christian perfection directly influenced literary critic Samuel Johnson and historian Edward Gibbon, as well as Cardinal John Henry Newman. John Wesley called Law’s work one of three books that accounted for his first “explicit resolve to be all devoted to God.” Charles Wesley, George Whitefield, Henry Venn, William Wilberforce, and Thomas Scott each described reading the book as a major turning point in his life. William Law (1686-1761) was educated at Cambridge, took a teaching position there, and was also ordained in the Church of England. He lost his access to university venues and the parish ministry when he was unable to swear allegiance to the Hanoverian dynasty that replaced the Stuarts as the rulers of Great Britain. Although forbidden the use of pulpit and lecture hall, he preached through his books, including Christian Perfection, The Grounds and Reasons of Christian Regeneration, Spirit of Prayer, and Spirit of Love.

Download or read book A Call to Alignment written by Kuda Mupfeka Sr and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Call to Alignment speaks directly to the body of Christ to take its rightful place through God-ordained structures and apostolic governance. As the kingdom of God is advancing to the other parts of the world so is the infiltration of man-made structures, philosophies, and empires that is replacing the original pattern of the church or the body of Christ. This book distinctly brings any teachings or doctrines that have deviated from the original God-ordained pattern for the church into alignment. The case and argument presented is excellent, and the thesis expounds the subject matter within context and gives the reader a valuable understanding of being spiritually aligned as per the pattern in the Old and New Testament. The illustrations and expounding of scriptures gives one a simple yet profound understanding of the concept of spiritual governance, and it gives clear apostolic directions and guidance to the body of Christ. This book is a must-read for all that are in ministry as a leader and also to all those that are called to be part of the body of Christ. This book addresses the most important aspect of kingdom reality and living-the realization of God's divine order in our lives. It is a handbook to bring into focus God's command and directive for His church to reflect Him accurately and succinctly in a rapidly changing world.

Download or read book Philosophical Foundations of Criminal Law written by R. A. Duff and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five leading contemporary theorists of criminal law tackle a range of foundational issues about the proper aims and structure of the criminal law in a liberal democracy. The challenges facing criminal law are many. There are crises of over-criminalization and over-imprisonment; penal policy has become so politicized that it is difficult to find any clear consensus on what aims the criminal law can properly serve; governments seeking to protect their citizens in the face of a range of perceived threats have pushed the outer limits of criminal law and blurred its boundaries. To think clearly about the future of criminal law, and its role in a liberal society, foundational questions about its proper scope, structure, and operations must be re-examined. What kinds of conduct should be criminalized? What are the principles of criminal responsibility? How should offences and defences be defined? The criminal process and the criminal trial need to be studied closely, and the purposes and modes of punishment should be scrutinized. Such a re-examination must draw on the resources of various disciplines-notably law, political and moral philosophy, criminology and history; it must examine both the inner logic of criminal law and its place in a larger legal and political structure; it must attend to the growing field of international criminal law, it must consider how the criminal law can respond to the challenges of a changing world. Topics covered in this volume include the question of criminalization and the proper scope of the criminal law; the grounds of criminal responsibility; the ways in which offences and defences should be defined; the criminal process and its values; criminal punishment; the relationship between international criminal law and domestic criminal law. Together, the essays provide a picture of the exciting state of criminal law theory today, and the basis for further research and debate in the coming years.
Download or read book Retributivism written by Mark D. White and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Retributivism: Essays on Theory and Policy, Professor Mark D. White and his contributors offer analysis and explanations of new developments in retributivism, the philosophical account of punishment that holds that wrongdoers must be punished as a matter of right, duty, or justice, rather than to serve some general social purpose. The contemporary debate over retributivist punishment has become particularly vibrant in recent years, focusing increasingly on its political and economic as well as its philosophical aspects, and also on its practical ramifications in addition to theoretical implications. The twelve chapters in this book, written by leading legal scholars and philosophers, cover the various justifications and conceptions of retributivism, its philosophical foundations (often questioning conventional understandings), and how retributivism informs actual criminal justice procedures and practices.

Download or read book Defendant Participation in the Criminal Process written by Abenaa Owusu- Bempah and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Requirements for the defendant to actively participate in the English criminal process have been increasing in recent years such that the defendant can now be penalised for their non-cooperation. This book explores the changes to the defendant’s role as a participant in the criminal process and the ramifications of penalising a defendant’s non-cooperation, particularly its effect on the adversarial system. The book develops a normative theory which proposes that the criminal process should operate as a mechanism for calling the state to account for its accusations and request for official condemnation and punishment of the accused. It goes on to examine the limitations placed on the privilege against self-incrimination, the curtailment of the right to silence, and the defendant’s duty to disclose the details of his or her case prior to trial. The book shows that, by placing participatory requirements on defendants and penalising them for their non-cooperation, a system of obligatory participation has developed. This development is the consequence of pursuing efficient fact-finding with little regard for principles of fairness or the rights of the defendant.
