Download or read book Evangile moralit et lois civiles Gospel Morality and Civil Law written by Joseph Famerée and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sort of differentiations and what kind of articulations are there between religious authority, morality, and civil laws? This question takes place at the heart of the contemporary, its debates, its challenges, its aporias. Presented here is a broad historical record, presentations of present situations-concerning Islam, the United States, the Orthodox world, and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights-and the theological revivals articulated Post-Vatican II. In the background are the motives of the so-called natural law, human rights, and a dialectic of the "two Reigns." The majority of this text is in French, with seven essays in English.

Download or read book The Church in Pluralist Society written by Cornelius J. Casey and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vatican II opened new pathways to engagement with societies shaped by modernity. Its project could be read as an attempt to interpret the stance of the church in relation to the whole project of modernity. The fundamental presumption of this collection of essays is that it is timely, indeed imperative, to keep alive the question of the church's self-understanding in its journey alongside "the complex, often rebellious, always restless mind of the modern world." Cornelius J. Casey and Fáinche Ryan have assembled some of the most prominent commentators on ecclesiastical and social-political engagements from the fields of theology, political philosophy, social theory, and cultural criticism. The contributors present differing perspectives on the role of the church. Some argue that pluralism is here to stay. Others point out that the liberal pluralism of contemporary society is aggressively powered by global corporate consumerism. This book, with its variety of voices, explores these issues largely from within the Catholic tradition. The role of the church in a pluralist society is a narrative that is being written by many people at many different levels of the church. Contributors: J. Bryan Hehir, Terry Eagleton, Patrick J. Deneen, Hans Joas, William T. Cavanaugh, Massimo Faggioli, Fáinche Ryan, Patrick Riordan, and Cornelius J. Casey
Download or read book Catholicism and Citizenship written by Massimo Faggioli and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beginning of the twenty-first century has provided abundant evidence of the necessity to reexamine the relationship between Catholicism and the modern, global world. This book tries to proceed on this path with a focus on the meaning, legacy, and reception in today’s world of the ecclesiology of Vatican II, starting with Gaudium et Spes: “This council exhorts Christians, as citizens of two cities, to strive to discharge their earthly duties conscientiously and in response to the Gospel spirit.” Catholicism and Citizenship is a call for a rediscovery of the moral and political imagination of Vatican II for the Church and the world of our time.
Download or read book Orthodox Religion and Politics in Contemporary Eastern Europe written by Tobias Koellner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationship between Orthodox religion and politics in Eastern Europe, Russia and Georgia. It demonstrates how as these societies undergo substantial transformation Orthodox religion can be both a limiting and an enabling factor, how the relationship between religion and politics is complex, and how the spheres of religion and politics complement, reinforce, influence, and sometimes contradict each other. Considering a range of thematic issues, with examples from a wide range of countries with significant Orthodox religious groups, and setting the present situation in its full historical context the book provides a rich picture of a subject which has been too often oversimplified.
Download or read book Byzantinische Rechtsgeschichte Im Internationalen Kontext written by Peter Schreiner and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-10-07 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Niedersächsische Akademie in Göttingen hat 1990 im Rahmen des Akademienprogramms ein schon seit 1974 bestehendes Projekt zur Edition byzantinischer Rechtsquellen unter Leitung von Dieter Simon übernommen. Zu seinem Abschluss Ende 2021 fand in Sofia ein Kolloquium statt, das von der Niedersächsischen und der Bulgarischen Akademie der Wissenschaften ausgerichtet wurde, und dessen Akten hier vorliegen. Ziel der Beiträge war es, nicht nur Editionsmethoden, die im Verlaufe des Projekts durchgeführt wurden, zu demonstrieren, sondern auch das byzantinische zivile und kanonische Recht im Rahmen auswärtiger Rechtssysteme, insbesondere slavischer und muslimischer Länder, zu positionieren. Eine Darstellung finden zudem epigraphische Rechtsquellen, die Rolle der platonischen Gesetze in Byzanz und die Bedeutung des Rechts im Rahmen der Medizin. Die zwanzig Beiträge in deutscher, englischer und französischer Sprache betonen, neben speziellen Fachfragen, auch die Rolle des Rechts insgesamt als kulturgeschichtlicher Faktor in Byzanz, den Balkanstaaten, Osteuropa und der angrenzenden islamischen Welt im Mittelalter.
Download or read book The Last Judgment written by Andrew Skotnicki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a culture obsessed with law, judgment, and violence, this book challenges Christians to remember that Jesus urged his followers to judge no one, bring harm upon no one, and follow no law save the law of altruistic love. It traces Christian history first to show that Christians of an earlier age took very seriously the gospel injunctions against punitive legal judgment and then how the advent of formal legal codes and philosophical dualism undermined that perspective to create a division between a private Christian spirituality and a public morality of order and legally sanctioned violence. This historical approach is accompanied by an argument that the recovery of a Christian ethic based upon unconditional love and forgiveness cannot be accomplished without the renewal of a Christian spirituality that mirrors the contemplative spirituality of Jesus.
Download or read book Moral Law and Civil Law written by Eli F. Ritter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Law and Civil Law: Parts of the Same Thing There seems to be a fair degree of certainty in the public mind generally as to the meaning of Christianity or Christian morality. The great uncertainty in the meaning of these terms arises when they are used in legal con templation. As morality and moral character are terms in very prominent and constant use in judicial proceedings, they must have some definite meaning, and there must be some way of determining definitely what they do mean. The purpose of this book is to aid in settling these questions. I claim no new discovery in the meaning of terms, and what I should appreciate as the highest compliment that could be paid to this work would be to have it proved that what is claimed by the author for thewlegal contemplation of. Morality-has been a settled question fora great many years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Law Gospel in Action written by Mark C. Mattes and published by 1517 Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Mattes' hope is not only to secure believers' consciences in Christ but also to reclaim theological and social turf which mainline Protestants have too quickly ceded to various secular agendas. The collected essays engage the reality of believers' death and resurrection in Christ, and how that bears upon the life of faith while also attending to a wide range of relevant theological topics such as scriptural authority, apologetics, a critique of contemporary mainline Protestant and Evangelical Catholic ethics, a critique of Lutheran-Reformed ecumenism, and the church's mission and outreach. The collection concludes with several sermons based on Old Testament lessons seeking to show how the theology embedded in the essays can be used for proclamation.

Download or read book A Treatise on the Law and Gospel written by John Colquhoun and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The subject of this treatise," writes Colqohoun, "is in the highest degree, important and interesting, both to saints and to sinners. To know it experimentally, is to “be wise unto salvation;” and to live habitually under the influence of it, is to be at once holy and happy. To have spiritual and distinct views of it, is the way to be kept from verging towards self-righteousness, on the one hand, and licentiousness, on the other; and to be enabled to assert, the absolute freeness of sovereign grace, and at the same time, the sacred interests of true holiness. Without an experimental knowledge, and an unfeigned faith, of the law and the gospel, a man can neither venerate the authority of the one, nor esteem the grace of the other." This classic is organized as follows: Introduction Chapter I. Of the Law of God in General Chapter II. Of the Law of God as Promulgated to the Israelites From Mount Sinai Chapter III. Of the Properties of the Moral Law Chapter IV. The Rules for Understanding Aright the Ten Commandments Chapter V. Of the Gospel of Christ Chapter VI. Of the Uses of the Gospel, and of the Law in Subservience to the Gospel Chapter VII. Of the Difference Between the Law and the Gospel Chapter VIII.

Of the High Obligations Under Which Believers Lie, to Yield Even Perfect Obedience to the Law as a Rule of Life Chapter XII. Of the Nature, Necessity, and Desert of Good Works To the Reader
