Download or read book Conscience and Conviction written by Kimberley Brownlee and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book shows that civil disobedience is generally more defensible than private conscientious objection. Part I explores the morality of conviction and conscience. Each of these concepts informs a distinct argument for civil disobedience. The conviction argument begins with the communicative principle of conscientiousness (CPC). According to the CPC, having a conscientious moral conviction means not just acting consistently with our beliefs and judging ourselves and others by a common moral standard. It also means not seeking to evade the consequences of our beliefs and being willing to communicate them to others. The conviction argument shows that, as a constrained, communicative practice, civil disobedience has a better claim than private objection does to the protections that liberal societies give to conscientious dissent. This view reverses the standard liberal picture which sees private 'conscientious' objection as a modest act of personal belief and civil disobedience as a strategic, undemocratic act whose costs are only sometimes worth bearing. The conscience argument is narrower and shows that genuinely morally responsive civil disobedience honours the best of our moral responsibilities and is protected by a duty-based moral right of conscience. Part II translates the conviction argument and conscience argument into two legal defences. The first is a demands-of-conviction defence. The second is a necessity defence. Both of these defences apply more readily to civil disobedience than to private disobedience. Part II also examines lawful punishment, showing that, even when punishment is justifiable, civil disobedients have a moral right not to be punished. Oxford Legal Philosophy publishes the best new work in philosophically-oriented legal theory. It commissions and solicits monographs in all branches of the subject, including works on philosophical issues in all areas of public and private law, and in the national, transnational, and international realms; studies of the nature of law, legal institutions, and legal reasoning; treatments of problems in political morality as they bear on law; and explorations in the nature and development of legal philosophy itself. The series represents diverse traditions of thought but always with an emphasis on rigour and originality. It sets the standard in contemporary jurisprudence.

Book excerpt: Serving the local church as senior pastor is not a small undertaking. Regardless of your education or the years of experience you may have, the job is still tough to manage. The senior pastor of the local church is one person, no matter how large the staff he or she may supervise. Rarely is there a person that can walk into their first-time pastoral experience and hit a home run at first bat. Often the opposite is true. First time pastor’s make plenty of their own mistakes. Often, they haven’t learned how to handle some of the emotional baggage that comes along with their newly assumed pastoral role. Pastor Randle examines his own pastoral experience at his first church to demonstrate how a minister can learn from the principles presented in this book, potentially avoiding the bumps and bruises of ministry. Read this book whether you are serving as a pastor for the first time or not. Your ministry will be blessed.
