Book excerpt: My mother taught me to embrace my gift. I was special, she said, and one day I would change the world. But that was before they murdered her and forced me into a cage. All those things that once made me special became my curse. And the gift I'm blessed with became a weapon to use against me. When the chance of freedom presents itself, I take it, Seeking to reclaim the life they stole from me. But when a twist of fate turns my curse into the cure. I'll have to make a choice; Fall on the sword that cut me down, or use it to slay my demons. My mother said I would change the world, and I did. But she said nothing about saving it.

Download or read book The Political Crisis and Christian Ethics written by Ronald H. Stone and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Political Crisis and Christian Ethics addresses themes in political philosophy in the context of a crisis in democracy after the denial of the 2020 election by the Republican candidate for president. The refusal to accept the results of the election divided the electorate and drove the president’s followers to fail in their attempted coup attempt in January of 2020. Democracy is defended in Reinhold Niebuhr’s writing on politics and in Barack Obama’s use of the theologian’s thought. It is developed further in the political theory of Paul Tillich. The themes of just peacemaking are reviewed in Paul Tillich’s critique of John Foster Dulles’ work and in the author’s critique of just peacemaking in the work of Glen Stassen. Domestically the issues of race, inequality, ecology, and healthcare are addressed from the perspective of prophetic realism. The book concludes in terms of Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy of education and religion and a vision of the good president. In summary, The Political Crisis and Christian Ethics is a volume of American, Christian political theory in a period of overcoming the trauma of 2016 with Christian ethics and political philosophy.

Download or read book American Virtues written by Jean M. Yarbrough and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 1998-09-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early days of the republic, Americans have recognized Thomas Jefferson's distinctive role in helping to shape the American national character. As Founder and statesman, Jefferson thought broadly about the virtues Americans would need to cultivate in order to preserve and perfect their experiment in republican self-government. Now in an age preoccupied with rights and divided over questions of character in public and private life, Jefferson can help us to think more clearly about our most urgent concerns. American Virtues is the first comprehensive analysis of Jefferson's moral and political philosophy in over twenty years and the first ever to focus exclusively on the full range of moral, civic, and intellectual virtues that together form the American character. It asks what kind of character Americans as a people must cultivate to ensure their freedom and happiness and how we as a free society can nurture moral and intellectual excellence in our citizens and statesmen. Beginning with the Declaration of Independence, Jean Yarbrough explores how Jefferson's conception of rights helps to form the American character. In subsequent chapters, she examines the moral sense virtues of justice and benevolence; the "agrarian" virtues of industry, moderation, patience, self-reliance, and independence; patriotism and modern republicanism; slavery and agrarian vice; the effect of commerce on character; the virtues connected with private property; the civic virtues of vigilance and spirited participation; the meaning of virtue and happiness for women; the virtues of republican statesmen; the place of the Epicurean virtues of wisdom and friendship in liberal republicanism; and piety and the secularized virtues of charity, toleration, and hope. In broadening the examination of virtue to include not only civic or republican virtue but the whole range of moral and intellectual excellence that perfect the individual character, American Virtues moves beyond the liberal-republican debates and makes a fresh contribution to the Jeffersonian literature.
