First published in 1985 as Les sources de la morale chretienne by
University Press Fribourg, this work has been recognized by
scholars worldwide as one of the most important books in the field
of moral theology. Already its acclaim has warranted translations
into Spanish, Italian, and Polish. Now it is available for the
first time in an English translation, which includes a new preface.
Writing in a tone that is reconciliatory rather than polemical,
Servais Pinckaers returns Christian ethics to its sources, the
Gospel and the Holy Spirit. After discussing the complementary
domains of morality and the behavioral and natural sciences, he
traces the scriptural themes particularly in the Sermon on the
Mount and the writings of St. Paul that most influence moral
instruction. He then examines in depth the history of moral
theology from the patristic period to the present day. This history
includes a discussion of the relation of Protestant and Catholic
views of Christian ethics. The unique feature of Pinckaers's
contemporary Thomistic view is its emphasis on the virtues, gifts,
and evangelical Beatitudes as the heart of the Christian moral
life. His approach to morality results in what he calls the freedom
for excellence, a notion of freedom that he contrasts with the
nominalist concept of the freedom of indifference, which has
dominated moral theology since the fourteenth century. As a
complete handbook of moral theology, this book will serve the needs
of both beginning and advanced students in seminary and university
courses in moral theology and ethics. For Catholic readers in
particular, it will provide the background and perspective needed
to achieve a fuller understanding of the moral teaching of the
Catechism and of the encyclical Veritatis splendor.
Throughout the twentieth century, Britain produced some of the most
prominent evangelical theologians in both church and academic
circles. This survey and introduction, edited by Thomas Noble and
Jason Sexton, presents twelve of these theologians, exploring what
made their work so influential and their continued relevance for
today. As well as surveying each man's work, British Evangelical
Theologians of the Twentieth Century considers what is meant by
calling these theologians 'evangelical' Christians - taking into
account their understanding of biblical authority, standing in the
Reformation tradition and treatment of Scripture as well as their
approaches to biblical criticism and liberal theology. As a result,
it is ideal for students looking to deeper their understanding of
British evangelical Christianity as a whole, as well as increasing
their knowledge of the individual figures From James Orr and
Lesslie Newbigin to John Stott and J. I. Packer, a range of
perspectives within British evangelicalism is reflected. Along with
brief biographies, each body of work is examined in three
particular areas: stance on the Bible ('biblicism'), the atonement
('crucicentrism'), and concern for mission and evangelism
('conversionism'). British Evangelical Theologians of the Twentieth
Century is a thorough introduction to twelve of the keenest and
most influential minds in British evangelical thought. It will
leave you with an appreciation of each man's contribution to
English-speaking evangelicalism, as well as helping you to engage
critically with their theology and understand how their work is
relevant to the development and discussion of British evangelical
theology today.
Fully revised second edition of an established reference work
Family life has undergone revolutionary changes in Western society
in the last sixty years, posing both theological and ethical
challenges for the contemporary church. This book responds with
wide-ranging essays on sexuality, marriage, family life,
singleness, same-sex relationships, violence against women,
anthropology, gender and culture. These chapters are essential
reading for anyone concerned with Christian teaching on marriage
and the family. They balance a clear loyalty to the church's
historic and biblical teaching with a recognition that all doctrine
is contextualized. There is a growing gap between the ethics of
many Christians and those of wider society. So Christians have to
be counter-cultural. But the church also has to be self-critical,
differentiating between biblical revelation and cultural
development. And it must know how to present unchanging Christian
convictions to a constantly changing society. The contributors are
Andy Angel, Daniel Block, Rosalind Clarke, Barry Danylak, Andrew
Goddard, Stephen Holmes, David Instone Brewer, A. T. B. McGowan,
Nicholas Moore, Onesimus Ngundu, Oliver O'Donovan, Ian Paul, Andrew
Sloane, Katy Smith, Elaine Storkey and Sarah Whittle.
The "long twelfth century"-1050 to 1215-embraces one of the
transformative moments in European history: the point, for some, at
which Europe first truly became "Europe." Historians have used the
terms "renaissance,""reformation,"and "revolution" to account for
the dynamism of intellectual, religious, and structural renewal
manifest across schools, monasteries, courts, and churches.
Complicating the story, more recent historical work has highlighted
manifestations of social crisis and oppression. In European
Transformations: The Long Twelfth Century, nineteen accomplished
medievalists examine this pivotal era under the rubric of
"transformation": a time of epoch-making change both good and ill,
a release of social and cultural energies that proved innovative
and yet continuous with the past. Their collective reappraisal,
although acknowledging insights gained from over a century of
scholarship, fruitfully adjusts the questions and alters the
accents. In addition to covering such standard regions as England
and France, and such standard topics as feudalism and investiture,
the contributors also address Scandinavia, Iberia, and Eastern
Europe, women's roles in medieval society, Jewish and Muslim
communities, law and politics, and the complexities of urban and
rural situations. With their diverse and challenging contributions,
the authors offer a new point of departure for students and
scholars attempting to grasp the dynamic puzzle of twelfth-century
Europe.

This volume presents the results of a systematic study of the
ruins of the large Roman courtyard villa at Castle Copse, located
near the village of Great Bedwyn, in southwest England. These
efforts have shed light not only on the history of the villa
itself, but also on the shifting focus of power over the course of
a millennium at the sites associated with Castle Copse in the
immediate region the Iron Age hillfort of Chisbury, a post-Roman
settlement, and a Saxon village destined to become an urban
center.
In addition to a complete survey of the site, its topography,
geology, hydrology, and stratigraphy, this book includes studies of
the architecture, mosaics, wall painting, and numerous artifacts
and animal remains found at the site. There are also overviews of
the history and geography of the region around the site, twelve
technical appendixes, and hundreds of detailed illustrations."
