Download or read book A Question of Being written by Karin Holsinger Sherman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Douglass's writings have been recognized as among the most challenging and inspiring explorations of nonviolence and Christian discipleship in the last century. Throughout his career, Douglass has argued forcefully for the integration of contemplation and resistance, theology and cultural critique, spirituality and prophetic involvement. His work has inspired many of the key figures in recent debates regarding just war, Christian nonviolence, and radical discipleship and continues to be highly relevant in our contemporary situation. In A Question of Being, the first book-length treatment published on Douglass's writings, Karin Holsinger Sherman provides an introduction to and engagement with this important body of work through an exploration into its contextual history, influences, and main themes. Moreover, the author argues that these themes work together to create an Òontology of nonviolence, an ontology that integrates the forces of resistance and contemplation so important to Douglass. The book begins by examining Douglass's biography and three broad historical trajectories that give context to his thought: the fusion of Christianity and American nationalism in the early Cold War period; the emergence of cultural critique in the late fifties and early sixties, and the Catholic pacifist tradition; and the post-1972 period of disillusionment. Holsinger Sherman then considers the lives and thought of Dorothy Day, Mahatma Gandhi, and Thomas Merton, as well as their unique intellectual and exemplary influence on Douglass's ideas. After explicating the themes of the cross and the kingdom as they developed chronologically in Douglass's writing career, this book draws together Douglass's thought to reveal an Òontology of nonviolence.Ó In her conclusion, Holsinger Sherman argues that this ontology of nonviolence is the key to understanding Douglass's integral theology of contemplation and resistance.

Download or read book The Concept of Justice written by Thomas Patrick Burke and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-02-24 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Concept of Justice, Patrick Burke explores and argues for a return to traditional ideas of ordinary justice in opposition to conceptions of 'social justice' that came to dominate political thought in the 20th Century. Arguing that our notions of justice have been made incoherent by the radical incompatibility between instinctive notions of ordinary justice and theoretical conceptions of social justice, the book goes on to explore the historical roots of these ideas of social justice. Finding the roots of these ideas in religious circles in Italy and England in the 19th century, Burke explores the ongoing religious influence in the development of the concept in the works of Marx, Mill and Hobhouse. In opposition to this legacy of liberal thought, the book presents a new theory of ordinary justice drawing on the thought of Immanuel Kant. In this light, Burke finds that all genuine ethical evaluation must presuppose free will and individual responsibility and that all true injustice is fundamentally coercive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new millennium, the promise of intrigue continues to captivate audiences. In THE MASTER COPY, that same hypnotic passion abounds. A fictional narrative, its plot radiates around an illegally cloned man on trial for the deaths of a wealthy East Coast couple and the son of a prominent state official. The clone’s creator, a now aging scientist, unlocked the secret of recreating the total human genome years before its present day advent, and circumvented the laws of God and man to clone Jesus Christ from a dated DNA sample. In the ensuing conflict, the lead defense attorney encounters unrelenting obstacles, which involve ransom demand and murder, and remains stalemated until climactic revelations occur. The prosecutor, compelled to maintain a near-perfect legal record, disregards moral values until startling evidence is discovered and an emotional encounter forces him to relinquish the fight. THE MASTER COPY constructs a web of associations, utilizing contemporary dialogue to develop the plot and draw the reader into the cathartic ending. However, its premise remains the most intriguing aspect, as it renews an awareness of the prophesized perils facing mankind at the end of the world, and raises the disquieting notion that this controversial story is conceivable
