Book Synopsis Handbook of Moral Theology by : Dominic M. Prummer
Download or read book Handbook of Moral Theology written by Dominic M. Prummer and published by Benedictus. This book was released on 2022-07-25 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1921, Fr. Prümmer's Handbook of Moral Theology was immediately regarded as an international classic. The author's clarity of vision, precision of expression, and humble fidelity to the traditional Catholic moral framework during a period of social upheaval and increasing doctrinal deviation made his manual the standard reference text for generations of clergy, seminarians, and laity. For those seeking answers to moral questions, the Catholic advice was often "Look it up in Prümmer!" At long last, this centenary edition restores the superb English translation of 1956 in a fresh new typesetting, making Fr. Prümmer's original text much easier to navigate and more pleasant to read. The many citation errors that plagued earlier editions have been painstakingly corrected, and scores of additional citations have been added from Aquinas's Summa Theologiae, Denzinger's Enchiridion, and the Roman Catechism -- three of the author's favorite sources. The topical index has likewise been expanded and now includes technical moral terms of more recent use (such as "double effect") to allow for more rapid contemporary reference. After a brilliant introduction to the science of moral theology, part 1 explores the end of man and all aspects of human conduct, and part 2 examines the sacraments and sacramentals and their core importance to the Catholic moral life. These packed pages contain the traditional Catholic moral teachings on: - Law, conscience, sin, and the passions -- with their respective types, causes, and effects - Commandments and precepts, how to observe them and recognize their violation - Divine rights and obligations in Christian family life and civil society - Excommunication and other penalties - Indulgences and how to obtain them - Virtues and vices - Scandal and moral cooperation in evil - Right worship, secret societies, private property, capital punishment, sexuality, abortion, war - And much more! In our own time of widespread confusion and decay, Fr. Prümmer's Handbook is the definitive and complete Catholic source book of the Church's moral doctrine as it was received and taught before the laxity and innovations of the last century. Far more than a work of mere historical interest, this surprisingly relevant guide to Christian moral perfection is a treasure that will endure as long as there are souls seeking eternal life.
Book Synopsis Descartes on Causation by : Tad M. Schmaltz
Download or read book Descartes on Causation written by Tad M. Schmaltz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a systematic study of Descartes' theory of causation and its relation to the medieval and early modern scholastic philosophy that provides its proper historical context. The argument presented here is that even though Descartes offered a dualistic ontology that differs radically from what we find in scholasticism, his views on causation were profoundly influenced by scholastic thought on this issue. This influence is evident not only in his affirmation in the Meditations of the abstract scholastic axioms that a cause must contain the reality of its effects and that conservation does not differ in reality from creation, but also in the details of the accounts of body-body interaction in his physics, of mind-body interaction in his psychology, and of the causation that he took to be involved in free human action. In contrast to those who have read Descartes as endorsing the "occasionalist" conclusion that God is the only real cause, a central thesis of this study is that he accepted what in the context of scholastic debates regarding causation is the antipode of occasionalism, namely, the view that creatures rather than God are the causal source of natural change. What emerges from the defense of this interpretation of Descartes is a new understanding of his contribution to modern thought on causation.
Book Synopsis Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 by : Robert Pasnau
Download or read book Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 written by Robert Pasnau and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 811 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Pasnau traces the developments of metaphysical thinking through four rich but for the most part neglected centuries of philosophy, running from the thirteenth century through to the seventeenth. At no period in the history of philosophy, other than perhaps our own, have metaphysical problems received the sort of sustained attention they received during the later Middle Ages, and never has a whole philosophical tradition come crashing down as quickly and completely as did scholastic philosophy in the seventeenth century. The thirty chapters work through various fundamental metaphysical issues, sometimes focusing more on scholastic thought, sometimes on the seventeenth century. Pasnau begins with the first challenges to the classical scholasticism of Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas, runs through prominent figures like John Duns Scotus and William Ockham, and ends in the seventeenth century, with the end of the first stage of developments in post-scholastic philosophy: on the continent, with Descartes and Gassendi, and in England, with Boyle and Locke.
Book Synopsis Records of the English Province of the Society of Jesus by : Henry Foley
Download or read book Records of the English Province of the Society of Jesus written by Henry Foley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the English Province of the Society of Jesus: Historic Facts Illustrative of the Labours and Sufferings of Its Members in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries The following pages were already in print when it came to the knowledge of the Editor, that Canon F. R. Raines, the well known and learned antiquarian, had been furnished by the lateright Rev. Dr. Goss, Bishop of Liverpool, with a copy Of the narrative Of Father Cuthbert Clifton (alias Norris), relating to'the conversion Of James, Earl Of Derby, on his way to the scaffold, and which must have been given to the Bishop by the late Dr. Oliver. The Canon publishes this narrative in his appendix to the life of that noble man1 as a literary curiosity, without admitting that it affects in any way the fidelity Of the Earl to the faith he had heretofore held. He lays great stress on its want of publication, at, or near the period in question, and on the inherent improbability of such an event happening at such a time and place, in opposition to all the Earl's antecedent convictions.

Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Francisco Suárez by : Benjamin Hill
Download or read book The Philosophy of Francisco Suárez written by Benjamin Hill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the seventeenth century Francisco Suárez was considered one of the greatest philosophers of the age. He was the last great Scholastic thinker and profoundly influenced the thought of his contemporaries within both Catholic and Protestant circles. Suárez contributed to all fields of philosophy, from natural law, ethics, and political theory to natural philosophy, the philosophy of mind, and philosophical psychology, and—most importantly—to metaphysics, and natural theology. Echoes of his thinking reverberate through the philosophy of Descartes, Locke, Leibniz, and beyond. Yet curiously Suárez has not been studied in detail by historians of philosophy. It is only recently that he has emerged as a significant subject of critical and historical investigation for historians of late medieval and early modern philosophy. Only in recent years have small sections of Suárez's magnum opus, the Metaphysical Disputations, been translated into English, French, and Italian. The historical task of interpreting Suárez's thought is still in its infancy. The Philosophy of Francisco Suárez is one of the first collections in English written by the leading scholars who are largely responsible for this new trend in the history of philosophy. It covers all areas of Suárez's philosophical contributions, and contains cutting-edge research which will shape and frame scholarship on Suárez for years to come—as well as the history of seventeenth-century generally. This is an essential text for anyone interested in Suárez, the seventeenth-century world of ideas, and late Scholastic or early modern philosophy.
Book Synopsis Mary on the Eve of the Second Vatican Council by : John C. Cavadini
Download or read book Mary on the Eve of the Second Vatican Council written by John C. Cavadini and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blessed Virgin Mary is uniquely associated with Catholicism, and the century preceding the Second Vatican Council was arguably the most fertile era for Catholic Marian studies. In 1964, Pope John Paul VI published the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, or Lumen Gentium (LG), the eighth chapter of which presents the most comprehensive magisterial teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary. As part of its Marian Initiative, the Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame invited scholars to a conference held at Notre Dame in October 2013 to reflect the rich Marian legacy on the eve of the Second Vatican Council. The essays unanimously stress that the Blessed Virgin Mary is not merely a peripheral figure in Christian faith and in the panorama of theology. More than fifty years after Lumen Gentium, students of theology as well as Marian devotees take their bearings from this document in order to promote the person of Mary and the study of Mariology, as well as grow in authentic Marian piety. This book will have great appeal to students and scholars of Catholic theology and history, particularly those interested in Mariology. Contributors: Ann W. Astell, Peter Casarella, John C. Cavadini, Lawrence S. Cunningham, Brian Daley, S.J., Peter J. Fritz, Kevin Grove, CSC, Msgr. Michael Heintz, Matthew Levering, Danielle M. Peters, James H. Phalan, CSC, Johann G.

Book Synopsis The Federal Theology of Johannes Cocceius (1603-1669) by : Willem van Asselt
Download or read book The Federal Theology of Johannes Cocceius (1603-1669) written by Willem van Asselt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the Federal theology of Johannes Cocceius, who lived in the seventeenth century (1603-1669). German by birth, he taught at Bremen, Franeker and Leiden, where he was Professor of Theology (1650-1669). As foremost biblical interpreter he sought to formulate a Covenant theory which described all of human history by introducing the structure of consecutive covenants or foedera. The book poses a surprising alternative to the readings of earlier scholarship on Cocceius by its careful presentation of the pneumatological components of the doctrine of covenants. Cocceius' Federal theology was of considerable importance in the theological and political history of Europe and the United States and formes the framework for much of the Reformed theology in the past three centuries.
