Download or read book Regret written by Paul J. Griffiths and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brilliant theological essay, Paul J. Griffiths takes the reader through all the stages of regret. To various degrees, all human beings experience regret. In this concise theological grammar, Paul J. Griffiths analyzes this attitude toward the past and distinguishes its various kinds. He examines attitudes encapsulated in the phrase, “I would it were otherwise,” including regret, contrition, remorse, compunction, lament, and repentance. By using literature (especially poetry) and Christian theology, Griffiths shows both what is good about regret and what can be destructive about it. Griffiths argues that on the one hand regret can take the form of remorse—an agony produced by obsessive and ceaseless examination of the errors, sins, and omissions of the past. This kind of regret accomplishes nothing and produces only pain. On the other hand, when regret is coupled with contrition and genuine sorrow for past errors, it has the capacity both to transfigure the past—which is never merely past—and to open the future. Moreover, in thinking about the phenomenon of regret in the context of Christian theology, Griffiths focuses especially on the notion of the LORD’s regret. Is it even reasonable to claim that the LORD regrets? Griffiths shows not only that it is but also that the LORD’s regret should structure how we regret as human beings. Griffiths investigates the work of Henry James, Emily Dickinson, Tomas Tranströmer, Paul Celan, Jane Austen, George Herbert, and Robert Frost to show how regret is not a negative feature of human life but rather is essential for human flourishing and ultimately is to be patterned on the LORD’s regret. Regret: A Theology will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy, theology, and literature, as well as to literate readers who want to understand the phenomenon of regret more deeply.

Download or read book Remorse written by Anthony Bash and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the Christian church has a well-developed theology of Godward-facing remorse about sin, it has paid little attention to the interpersonal implications of the remorse that people feel when they wrong one another. Since the nineteenth century, important work has been done by psychologists, anthropologists, philosophers, ethicists, scientists, and lawyers that has implications for the way theologians might think about remorse. This book draws on the biblical record in its ancient settings as well as on insights from contemporary scholarship to offer a new and distinctively Christian contribution to an understanding of remorse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was lost in a world of regret that I needed a savior to redeem me from. Lost like a breeze in the midst of a hurricane, I was blinded by my very own ambition and I could not see nor navigate myself through life, not knowing whether I was coming or going. I made a plethora of mistakes that resulted in an avalanche of regret. Regret that once controlled my life and imprisoned my metacognition. I found myself like most people in a degenerating cycle fuel by the gravity of regret. Three specific attributes governed my life as the gravity of regret influenced it. I was governed by fear, bad habits and the opinion of other people. Fear of loss, fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of the unknown. Bad habits of illegitimate desire, deception and disobedience. The opinion of individual, family, church and the society in which I live.

Download or read book No Regrets written by Maryann Santos and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one second, the Santos family was changed forever. Driving along a toll road in Chicago, a semi-truck plowed into the rear end of the family vehicle, instantly killing two-year-old Amanda, affectionately known as Mandy, and seriously injuring her parents. What happens when you dare to trust God in the midst of tragedy? What is the message that God gave to share through the death of Amanda? What was Mandys life supposed to show us? No Regrets author Maryann Santos believes the answer is found not through the eyes of the world but through the heart of a child. Raising Amanda, Maryann thought she was teaching her, but the truth is that Mandy taught her about life in the most unexpected ways. Through this tragic accident, No Regrets relates the story of Gods sovereign power and mighty hand of restoration using illustrations and powerful sermons by well-known Christian leaders and teachers. The purpose of this book is to reveal biblical truths hidden in plain sight, often lost in the shuffle of everyday life. Lets face it. We are all going to die sooner or later. It just seems that most of us live past the age of two. It is never easy to lose someone you love, especially a child, but I hope my loss is your gain for eternity.

Download or read book The Origin of Sin written by David Konstan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did the idea of sin arise from? In this meticulously argued book, David Konstan takes a close look at classical Greek and Roman texts, as well as the Bible and early Judaic and Christian writings, and argues that the fundamental idea of "sin" arose in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, although this original meaning was obscured in later Jewish and Christian interpretations. Through close philological examination of the words for "sin," in particular the Hebrew hata' and the Greek hamartia, he traces their uses over the centuries in four chapters, and concludes that the common modern definition of sin as a violation of divine law indeed has antecedents in classical Greco-Roman conceptions, but acquired a wholly different sense in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.

Download or read book Regretting Motherhood written by Orna Donath and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and deeply important study of women’s lives, women’s choices—and an ‘unspoken taboo’—that questions the societal pressures forcing women into motherhood Women who opt not to be mothers are frequently warned that they will regret their decision later in life, yet we rarely talk about the possibility that the opposite might also be true—that women who have children might regret it. Drawing on years of research interviewing women from a variety of socioeconomic, educational, and professional backgrounds, sociologist Orna Donath treats regret as a feminist issue: as regret marks the road not taken, we need to consider whether alternative paths for women currently are blocked off. She asks that we pay attention to what is forbidden by rules governing motherhood, time, and emotion, including the cultural assumption that motherhood is a “natural” role for women—for the sake of all women, not just those who regret becoming mothers. If we are disturbed by the idea that a woman might regret becoming a mother, Donath says, our response should not be to silence and shame these women; rather, we need to ask honest and difficult questions about how society pushes women into motherhood and why those who reconsider it are still seen as a danger to the status quo. Groundbreaking, thoughtful, and provocative, this is an especially needed book in our current political climate, as women's reproductive rights continue to be at the forefront of national debates.
Download or read book Remorse and Reparation written by Murray Cox and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Remorse, or rather the lack of it, frequently features in banner headlines. But there is little systematic study of this important interdisciplinary topic whose relevance has extensive social ramifications. The complex relationship between remorse, shame guilt and attempts at reparation, are discussed in this authoritative work. This volume is the first comprehensive attempt to bring together both forensic clinicians and those working within the criminal justice system.' - New Life `Familiar though they are in literature, religion and philosophy, the phenomena of remorse and reparation are rarely explored in either the theory or practice of forensic psychotherapy. This book begins to address those omissions, dealing with clinical and legal questions and ranging widely over political, philosophical, sociological and artistic perspectives...Remorse and Reparation is very much the expression of Murray Cox's particular, and unique, talent. He would have been proud of this, his last book, even though he did not live long enough to supervise its publication. Murray has brought together authors from different disciplines to convey a myriad of views. Although occasionally contradictory, the impacts of original insights presented from several different perspectives can be stunning. This book will be a valuable addition to the literature of any forensic institution.' - British Journal of Psychiatry `This is a book all magistrates, probation officers and QPMs should read. It consists of 15 short and mostly readable essays, looking at a little-considered aspect of human experience from medical, legal, sociological and philosophical points of view. The case studies quoted are very much to the point ... Two essays particularly impressed me. David Tidmarsh, now of the Parole Board, was formerly on the staff of Broadmoor Hospital. He draws attention to the lack of reference to remorse in the Board's remit, which is concerned only with risk ... John Harding of the Inner London Probation Service quotes examples, including two well-known ones from Barlinnie, where moral reformation has occurred.' - Newsletter of Quakers in Criminal Justice Remorse, or rather the lack of it, frequently features in banner headlines. But there is little systematic study of this important inter-disciplinary topic whose relevance has extensive social ramifications. Should a show of remorse by an offender be taken into account in sentencing? Is there a correlation between the experience of remorse and a diminished likelihood of re-offending? And is there a correlation between the experience and the expression of remorse? Such questions, and the complex relationship between remorse, shame, guilt and attempts at reparation, are discussed in this authoritative work. This volume is the first comprehensive attempt to bring together both forensic clinicians and those working within the criminal justice system. There is also a series of chapters by those writing from the adjacent complementary disciplines of moral philosophy, classics, Shakespeare studies, sociology and anthropology.
