Excerpt from History of Christian Ethics: History of Christian Ethics Before the ReformationTheology from the proper dogmatic system, and its fruitful viiof the mere intellectual forms which have been generated or occasioned by the logical process of reflection upon the products of the past. The exigencies of the practical Christian service, the humanizmg of the government and orders of the Church, and the unionistic strivings, have also put the whole Christian system into closer relations with the living habits and modes of thought. And all this has brought the fact more clearly into view from various sides of Theology and practice, that the essential and paramount interest of Christianity is the Christian life itself, and that the scientific comprehension and elucidation of it is the chief function of modern theology.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Shakespeare, the Reformation and the Interpreting Self


Free Download Roberta Kwan, "Shakespeare, the Reformation and the Interpreting Self "
English | ISBN: 1474461948 | 2023 | 432 pages | PDF | 3 MB
We share with Shakespeare, it seems, the assumption that to be human is to be an interpreter of oneself, others and the world – seeking but not always arriving at understanding. Shakespeare, the Reformation and the Interpreting Self explores this perspective on human subjectivity. This study reads the complex, compelling representations of the self as an interpreter (and misinterpreter) of reality in Shakespeare’s ‘problem plays’ alongside an intellectual history that links the culture-shaping theological hermeneutics of the playwright’s day to the similarly influential philosophical hermeneutics of our times. What is it to be an interpreting self? This book’s critical approach brings to the fore questions about the self’s finitude, agency, motivations, self-knowledge and ethical relation to others, questions that were of great relevance in Shakespeare’s England and which continue to resonate in our present-day dilemmas and debates about human experience and human being.

Free Download The Protestant’s Dilemma: How the Reformation’s Shocking Consequences Point to the Truth of Catholicism By Devin Rose
2014 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1938983610 | EPUB | 1 MB
What if the Reformers really were heroes, the Bible the sole rule of faith, and Christ’s Church just a collection of believers loosely united in some invisible way?As an Evangelical, Devin Rose used to believe all of it. Then one day the nagging questions began. He noticed things about Protestant belief and practice that didn’t add up. He began following the logic of Protestant claims to places he never expected it to go – leading to conclusions no Christian would ever admit to holding.In The Protestant’s Dilemma, Rose examines more than thirty of those conclusions, showing with solid evidence and compelling reason how the major tenets of Protestantism – if honestly pursued to their fullest extend 0 wind up in dead ends of absurdity. And he demonstrates how the only escape from the dilemma is Catholic truth.The Protestant’s Dilemma is the perfect book to give to non-Catholics trying to work through their own nagging doubts, or for Catholics looking for a fresh way to deepen their understanding of the Faith.
