Free Download Ronald Truman, "Reforming Catholicism in the England of Mary Tudor: The Achievement of Friar Bartolomé Carranza " English | ISBN: 075465236X | 2005 | 255 pages | PDF | 16 MB In the history of the attempted restoration of Roman Catholicism in the England of Mary Tudor, the contribution of her husband Philip and his Spanish entourage has been largely ignored. This book highlights one of the most prominent of Philip's religious advisers, the friar Bartolomé Carranza. A leading Dominican, Carranza served the emperor Charles V, whom he represented at the earlier sessions of the Council of Trent, and then Philip II of Spain, who brought him to England. Even before Mary's death, Fray Bartolomé left for the Low Countries, and then returned to Spain, where, as archbishop of Toledo, he was arrested for 'heresy' by the Spanish Inquisition. His trial, first in Spain and then in Rome, lasted from 1559 until shortly before his death, partially rehabilitated, in Rome in 1576. The book contains papers on the activity and intellectual character of the English Church under Mary, on Carranza's eventful life, particularly his activity in England, and on his often close collaboration with his friend Cardinal Reginald Pole, set in the wider context of sixteenth-century Catholicism. Attention is also drawn both to Carranza's perhaps surprising subsequent fame and influence in the Spanish Church, and to the common ground which, despite obvious differences and subsequent divisions, did indeed exist between reformers in Spain and England.

Free Download Daniel Mahoney, "Political Reason in the Age of Ideology: Essays in Honor of Raymond Aron" English | ISBN: 113851330X | 2017 | 330 pages | PDF | 2 MB A little over one hundred years after his birth, and not quite twenty-five years since his death, interest in the French political philosopher and sociologist Raymond Aron (1905-1983) continues to grow. Aron is now widely recognized as one of the most significant intellectual figures of the postwar period, whose wide-ranging reflections played a key part in preserving liberal democracy in Europe and abroad. His sober analyses of modern society, his trenchant critique of ideological politics and every form of totalitarianism, and his philosophical reflections on politics and history have given powerful support to democratic liberalism throughout the western world. Aron's work combines passion and observation, disinterested reflection and love of liberty in a way that is an imitable model for humane and balanced political reflection.

Prusak " English | ISBN: 9042944846 | 2021 | 309 pages | PDF | 3 MB How does the church come from Jesus? Previously, this was a much clearer and more settled question. It could be answered from dogmatic conclusions, rather than from historical investigation. Since the methodological revolutions in Catholic theology of the twentieth century that initiated hermeneutical processes of self-discovery, potential answers to this question are far less stable and comprehensive. The recovery of past elements of tradition and the uncertainty of the future demand creative answers to the challenges facing the church regarding its identity. This volume, prepared in honor of Bernard P. Prusak, attempts to constructively explore the question of 'how' the church comes from Jesus. The contributors have provided critical reflections from different theological disciplines in order to think this question anew from a more 'synoptic' perspective in line with Prusak's own theology. His work consistently plumbs the depths of Christian history and traditions, alive to the liturgical and sacramental life of the Body of Christ, to address the concerns of Christians seeking understanding of their faith today. This volume is comprised of fifteen chapters across two parts, including contributions from four generations of theologians associated with Prusak and his theology. Part I investigates the identity of the church and what it means to encounter God's revelation in history. It features contributions from biblical, liturgical, and systematic theologians on topics ranging from scriptural metaphors to receptions of the Second Vatican Council. Part II seeks to apply critically the principles of faith to the morally complex, ever-changing contemporary world. Contributions here explore systematic considerations of Prusak's ecclesiology in dialogue with Pope Francis's concept of mercy, the role of women in the church, ecclesial power structures, grace, and the future of the 'church unfinished'.  Free Download T. Bersee, "On the Meaning of 'Miracle' in Christianity: A Philosophical Evaluation of the Current Miracle Debate and a Proposal of " English | ISBN: 9042943955 | 2021 | 268 pages | PDF | 928 KB Miracle narratives are an essential part of nearly all religious traditions. The importance of miracles also applies to Christianity. The Gospels record thirty-five miracles that Jesus is said to have performed, including twenty-three miraculous healings and nine nature miracles (for example, stilling a storm and turning water into wine). At the heart of Christian faith lies the story of Jesus' resurrection from the dead. However, the factuality of these events has been increasingly problematised, especially since the period of the Enlightenment. In this study, it is argued that the current debate between science-oriented critics of miracles and their religious opponents focuses predominantly on the question of factuality and evidence at the loss of the religious meaning of miracles. The suggestion that science and religion would be opposite approaches is denied in a proposal of a balanced hermeneutical approach of miracles that does justice to scientific findings, religious texts and experience. |
