 Peter J. Weigel, "Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God's Kingdom: Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J. " English | ISBN: 143312811X | 2015 | 165 pages | PDF | 1454 KB For close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment.

This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrine.

Mitanni Empire: A History from Beginning to End (Ancient Civilizations) by Hourly History English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09RK56P5G | 51 pages | EPUB | 0.24 Mb The Mitanni Empire came to prominence at a time when the Egyptians, the Hittites, and the Assyrians were all angling for supremacy after the fall of Babylon in the sixteenth century BCE. Mitanni made alliances and conquered other lands, excelled at the military art of charioteering, suffered invasions, endured assassinations, and saw a dynasty rise and fall. In what is now southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, and Syria but was then the upper Tigris-Euphrates basin, the Mitanni Empire at its peak reached the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to the west and extended into Assyria to the east. After the kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians, Mitanni became a vassal state of the land it had once dominated, and evidence of its renown slowly faded from history.  Mississippi John Hurt: His Life, His Times, His Blues By Philip R.

At seventy-one he moved to Washington, D.C., from Avalon, Mississippi, and became a live-wire connection to a powerful, authentic past. His intricate and lively style made him the most sought after musician among the many talents the revival brought to light.Mississippi John Hurt provides this legendary creator's life story for the first time. Biographer Philip Ratcliffe traces Hurt's roots to the moment his mother Mary Jane McCain and his father Isom Hurt were freed from slavery.

U.S. census records, Hurt's first marriage record in 1916, images of his first autographed LP record, and excerpts from personal letters written in his own hand provide treasures for fans. Ratcliffe details Hurt's musical influences and the origins of his style and repertoire.
