Download or read book The Letter to the Galatians written by David A. deSilva and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New volume in a favorite Bible commentary series Writing a commentary on Galatians is a daunting task. Despite its relative brevity, this Pauline letter raises a number of foundational theological issues, and it has played a vital role in shaping Christian thought and practice over the centuries. In this replacement of Ronald Y. K. Fung’s 1988 New International Commentary volume, David deSilva ably rises to the challenge, providing a coherent account of Galatians as a piece of strategically crafted communication that addresses both the immediate pastoral challenges facing Paul’s converts in Galatia and the underlying questions that gave rise to them. Paying careful attention to the history, philology, and theology of the letter, and interacting with a wealth of secondary literature on both Galatians and the rest of the Pauline corpus, deSilva’s exegetically sound commentary will serve as an essential resource for pastors and theological students.

Download or read book The Loving Struggle written by Emmanuel Falque and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been 25 years since Dominique Janicaud derisively proclaimed the “theological turn” in French phenomenology due to the return of God to philosophy through the influence of “religious” thinkers such as Lévinas, Ricoeur, and Marion. Since then, the “theological turn” has flowered into a fully-fledged movement on both sides of the Atlantic. But, what will be the shape and direction of the second generation of the “theological turn”? In this important new book, Emmanuel Falque engages with all the major twentieth-century French phenomenologists—something heretofore unavailable in English. He argues that rather than being content to argue for the return of God to philosophy, something fought for and developed by the foregoing generation of the “theological turn,” it is necessary to stage a philosophical confrontation, or disputatio, with them and their work in order to ensure the ongoing vitality of the unexpected contemporary relationship between philosophy and theology. Drawing on the legacies of Jaspers and Heidegger, who both staged their own “loving struggles” to arrive at defining philosophical conclusions, Falque confronts, interrogates, and learns from his most influential philosophical forebears to steer the “theological turn” in a new direction. Offering a novel and creative philosophy of the body, Falque argues for a reorientation of philosophy of religion generally and the “theological turn” specifically from a philosophy of revelation from above to a philosophy of the limit from below. nology due to the return of God to philosophy through the influence of “religious” thinkers such as Lévinas, Ricoeur, and Marion.

Download or read book The Cross in Personal Relationships written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is grounded in practicality. It underscores that the true test of a person's maturity is reflected in the harmony of their relationships, particularly with those in their inner circle. It teaches that maturity never leads to complacency; instead, it deepens respect and reverence as one draws closer to others. Addressing wounded relationships, the book challenges us to respond to dishonesty with unwavering honesty and respect. In essence, it encourages us to treat those who may have wronged us as if they were honest, much like the Lord Jesus did with Judas. Throughout The Cross in Personal Relationships, you will find profound insights on themes such as courtesy and gratitude, both pivotal in nurturing healthy and meaningful relationships. Our earnest prayer is that the wisdom you glean from this book will empower you to handle your relationships in the manner of our Lord Jesus—bringing healing where it's needed, and nurturing growth and perfection where it's lacking.
Download or read book Law Obligation Community written by Daniel Matthews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against an ever-expanding and diversifying ‘rights talk’, this book re-opens the question of obligation from not only legal but also ethical, sociological and political perspectives. Its premise is that obligation has a primacy ahead of rights, because rights attach to practices and modes of being that are already saturated with obligations. Obligations thus lie at the core not just of law but of community. Yet the distinctive meanings, range and situations of obligation have tended to remain under-theorised in legal scholarship. In response, this book examines the sense in which we are multiply ‘bound beings’, to law and legal institutions, as much as we are to place, community, memory and the various social institutions that give shape to collective life. Sharing this set of concerns, each of the international group of scholars contributing to this volume traces the specificity of the binding force of obligations, their techniques and modes of expression, as well as their centrally important role in giving form to lawful relations. Together they provide an innovative and challenging contribution to legal scholarship: one that will also be of relevance to those working in politics, philosophy and social theory.

Download or read book Being Reconfigured written by Ian Leask with Eoin Cassidy and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Reconfigured presents some of the most brilliant and audacious theses in recent phenomenological research. Challenging so much post-Heideggerian doxa, it argues against contemporary phenomenology’s denegation of Being, but suggests, as well, that phenomenology itself can provide a viable and fruitful alternative to this impasse. Specifically, Being Reconfigured delineates the source of phenomenology’s ‘refusal’ of Being, in Husserl; the main strands it demonstrates, in Marion and Levinas; and the fundamental problems its entails—in Marion, the necessary retention of a ‘metaphysical’ subject, and in Levinas, the necessary revival of Kantian dualisms and diremptions. Beyond this critical survey, however, Leask also provides an alternative perspective, through a reassessment of Edith Stein’s ‘generous ontology.’ This reassessment involves: delineating Stein’s Patristic and Scholastic sources; amplifying her suggestions, through the work of Michel Henry, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas himself; and demonstrating the contemporary significance of Stein’s phenomenology of Being-sustained and Being-safe(ty). By considering Being in these Steinian terms of support, safety and charity, Leask concludes, we might begin to overcome the difficulties described in the book’s earlier chapters—and to do so by radically reassessing the ‘nature’ of the Being that we take for granted.
