Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Series of Discourses, on Fundamental Religious Subjects: Including a Preliminary Discourse on the Divine Revelation of the Holy Scriptures I could not hope to acquire fame, in a walk of literature so far from being popular, as that of religious Discourses, even though I could have been vain enough to imagine that I was competent to secure a place in the first rank of those who have published in the same line. How much less, when I knew that I could not sustain a respectable competition with writers of. That class As little could I hope to derive pecuniary profit from such a publication; What motive, then, could have prompted me to the toil and hazard of such an enterprise? I humbly submit that there was still one very effi cient motive which might have actuated me in the matter - a desire to advance the interests of the highest order of truth. If I shall have failed in this, I feel that my failure will have been absolute. If, on the other hand, I shall, though but to a limited extent, have succeeded in advancing the interests of this truth, I shall consider myself amply compensated; though eneither fame nor pecuniary advantage shall have been promoted by the Operation. For the advancement of those interests ever tends to promote the glory of God' and the salvation and eternal happiness of mankind. Could I be assured of success in this particular, I should be abundantly satisfied, let the fate of my Discourses be, in other respects, what it might.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ADVERTISEMENT. The writer of this discourse seeks truth of every description; especially religious truth. For nearly half a century he has been in pursuit of it; and has neglected no means to attain it. He has watched with the ancients; has laboured with the moderns; and has searched the Scriptures; and earnestly prayed for the succours of the Spirit of Wisdom, that he might know the Truth, acknowledge it, and spread it abroad according to the power with which the Father of lights might endue him. He has acquainted himself with religious systems in general; he has examined with diligence, and he hopes, he may say, with conscientious candour, creeds and catechisms, confessions of faith, and bodies of divinity, in great numbers. All these have professed to refer him to the Bible; and from them all he turned to his Biblehe has read it carefully, with intense study and fervent prayer. As far as it was possible, he has divested himself of all the prejudices he might have received from preconceived opinions; and that he might not be warped by the common phraseology of religion, and theological expressions in general use, he has examined the originals of the Sacred Books; and, for his own use and satisfaction, translated every word of the Old and New Testaments; and conferred the originals with all the ancient and modern versions, which were within his reach; not neglecting the commentaries of the ancient Fathers, nor those of learned and pious men in modern times. He could do no moreand after all this labour, what has he found ? Should he answer, / have found the Truth; every man, whose religious creed might differ from his, would pronounce him arrogant; while believing in the same moment that his own was the truth, though he had not taken the hundredth part of the trouble ...

Book excerpt: Machiavelli saw history in general as a way to learn useful lessons from the past for the present, and also as a type of analysis which could be built upon, as long as each generation did not forget the works of the past. In "Discourses on Livy" Machiavelli discusses what can be learned from roman period and many other eras as well, including the politics of his lifetime. This is a work of political history and philosophy written in the early 16th. The title identifies the work's subject as the first ten books of Livy's Ab urbe condita, which relate the expansion of Rome through the end of the Third Samnite War in 293 BC. Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (1469 – 1527) was an Italian diplomat, politician, historian, philosopher, humanist, and writer. He has often been called the father of modern political science. He was for many years a senior official in the Florentine Republic, with responsibilities in diplomatic and military affairs. He served as a secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512, when the Medici were out of power.He wrote his most well-known work The Prince in 1513, having been exiled from city affairs.

This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Jews, Christians and Muslims, as for all human beings, military conflicts and war remain part of the reality of the world. The authoritative writings of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, namely the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and the Koran, as well as the theological and philosophical traditions based on them, bear witness to this fact. Showing the influence of different historical political situations, various views – sometimes quite similar, sometimes more divergent -- have developed in the three religions to justify the waging of war under certain circumstances. Such views have also been integrated in different ways into legal systems while, in certain cases, theologies have provide legitimation for military expansion and atrocities. The aim of the volume The Concept of Just War in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is to explore the respective understanding of “just war” in each one of these three religions and to make their commonalities and differences discursively visible. In addition, it highlights and explains the significance of the topic to the present time. Can the concepts developed in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions in order to justify war, serve as a foundation for contemporary peace ethics? Or do religious arguments always add fuel to the fire in armed conflict? The contributions in this volume will help provide answers to these and other socially and politically relevant questions.
