Book Synopsis Forgiveness by : Vladimir Jankélévitch
Download or read book Forgiveness written by Vladimir Jankélévitch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosopher Vladimir Jankélévitch has only recently begun to receive his due from the English-speaking world, thanks in part to discussions of his thought by Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Lévinas, and Paul Ricoeur. His international readers have long valued his unique, interdisciplinary approach to philosophy’s greatest questions and his highly readable writing style. Originally published in 1967, Le Pardon, or Forgiveness, is one of Jankélévitch’s most influential works. In it, he characterizes the ultimate ethical act of forgiving as behaving toward the perpetrator as if he or she had never committed the action, rather than merely forgetting or rationalizing it—a controversial notion when considering events as heinous as the Holocaust. Like so many of Jankélévitch’s works, Forgiveness transcends standard treatments of moral problems, not simply generating a treatise on one subject but incorporating discussions of topics such as free will, giving, creativity, and temporality. Translator Andrew Kelley masterfully captures Jankélévitch’s melodic prose and, in a substantive introduction, reviews his life and intellectual contributions. Forgiveness is an essential part of that legacy, and this indispensable English translation provides key tools for understanding one of the great Western philosophers of the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis The Limits of Forgiveness by : Maria Mayo
Download or read book The Limits of Forgiveness written by Maria Mayo and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demystifying an unrealistic ideal Maria Mayo questions the contemporary idealization of unconditional forgiveness in three areas of contemporary life: so-called Victim-Offender Mediation involving cases of criminal injury, the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa, and the pastoral care of victims of domestic violence. She shows that an emphasis on unilateral and unconditional forgiveness puts disproportionate pressure on the victims of injustice or violence and misconstrues the very biblical passages—especially in Jesus’ teaching and actions—on which advocates of unconditional forgiveness rely.

Book Synopsis A Literary History of Reconciliation by : Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen
Download or read book A Literary History of Reconciliation written by Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From William Shakespeare to Marilynne Robinson, this book examines representations of interpersonal reconciliation in works of literature, focusing on how these representations draw on the language of divine forgiveness. Christian theology sees divine forgiveness as conditional upon a sinner's remorse and self-abasement before God, but also as a form of grace – unconditional and rooted only in divine love. Van Dijkhuizen explores what happens when this paradoxical forgiveness paradigm comes to serve as a template for interpersonal reconciliation. As A Literary History of Reconciliation shows, literary writers imagine interpersonal reconciliation as being centrally about power and hierarchy, and present forgiveness without power as longed for but ever elusive. Drawing on major works of literature from the early modern era to the present day, this book explores works by John Milton, Virginia Woolf, J.M. Coetzee, Ian McEwan and others to craft a literary history that will appeal to readers interested in literature, religion and philosophy.

Book Synopsis Leaning into God When Life Is Pushing You Away by : Robert Anthony Schuller

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert A. Schuller explores the various ways individuals lose or experience interference with their connection to God.

The good news is that when His people are struggling, God stays close. There are many ways to reestablish a dynamic connection with Him. Schuller calls these "Connection Corrections" and leads readers through identifying communication barriers and how to break them. Each chapter delves into the reasons readers fail to connect with God, how to begin repairing the broken wires, and the life-altering benefits of restoring a positive, power-filled relationship with Him. Readers who feel adrift from God will no find that no barrier is too big to keep them from a close, loving relationship with Him.

Book Synopsis The Lost Revelation by : Ira Messenger
Download or read book The Lost Revelation written by Ira Messenger and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing us with the only known revelation of the Gospel according to substitution-a new and exciting interpretation of biblical truth-Ira Messenger is probably the most controversial theologian of our day. Author of the books "The Wrong Turn," "The Fourth Dimension," and "The Indictment," Messenger is also a radio and television talk show host. "The Lost Revelation" offers answers to questions that his listening audience has submitted. What makes Messenger so controversial is his attack on the mantra of present-day Christianity. Messenger brings a different perspective to biblical interpretation, one in which God takes the initiative in His relationship with humankind rather than simply observing and judging its actions. Do yourself a favor and add the revelation of the Gospel of Substitution to your religious perspective. You may find yourself questioning much of what you believed to be true about Christianity.

Download or read book Luther's Reform written by Jared Wicks and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Of the Roman Catholic scholars of the Reformation who have contributed to our understanding of Martin Luther and his theology, Jared Wicks is among the very best. In this reprinted collection of essays a new generation of readers will glean fresh insights into the Wittenberg reformer, as Wicks places Luther within his proper late-medieval theological context and carefully teases out his unique contributions to understanding the church and justification (conversion). At the same time, Wicks situates Luther's theology within present conversations between Lutherans and Roman Catholics and proves again and again the important role that good, fair-minded historiography plays in aiding such dialogue. This collection will treat readers to, among other things, in-depth investigations of Luther's early theology of justification, of the connection between the sacraments and faith, and of the pastoral consequences for the simul iustus et peccator--all written in a winsome prose with careful attention to the original sources. It is a helpful addition to the library of anyone interested in understanding the now 500-year-old movement of reform within the church catholic and its implications for today." Timothy Wengert Emeritus, United Theological Seminary Philadelphia United Lutheran Seminary
