Lehner, "On the Road to Vatican II: German Catholic Enlightenment and Reform of the Church " English | ISBN: 1506408982 | 2016 | 406 pages | EPUB | 5 MB In the present day, there is widespread confusion regarding the theological achievements of the Catholic Enlightenment. This book outlines such contributions in the fields of biblical exegesis, church reform, liturgical renewal, and the move toward a more tolerant view of other churches and religions. Since some of the most important Catholic Enlighteners lived in Germany, this book concentrates on their endeavors, but also frequently points to other European players. Only an unpolemical historical assessment of the Catholic Enlightenment can help us to get out of the current gridlock of interpreting Vatican II: was there a break with tradition, or was there continuity? ![]() Free Download Hugh of St. Victor, "On Love: A Selection of Works of Hugh, Adam, Achard, Richard, and Godfrey of St. Victor (Victorine Texts in Translation," English | ISBN: 1565484347 | 2012 | 391 pages | PDF | 3 MB This volume provides a magnificent point of entry into the fascinating diversity of Victorine authors, all of whom contributed in their own way to fresh thinking about love, human and divine. ![]() Free Download David Clark, "On Earth as in Heaven: The Lord's Prayer from Jewish Prayer to Christian Ritual" English | ISBN: 1506414389 | 2017 | 244 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Convinced that our access to the original sense of Jesus's prayer must be mediated by its history of "effects," David Clark seeks to trace the meaning of one of Christianity's most repeated, and thus most "effective" texts through the early centuries of the faith. Clark begins by arguing that the prayer's original context was in a revival of Jewish prayer, then sets it in the literary context of Gospels that, he argues, represented Jesus as recapitulating Israel's testing in the wilderness in his own temptation. He then traces the prayer's meaning within the narratives of Matthew and Luke and in the Didache, then examines the first full commentary on the prayer, that of Tertullian in the third century CE. Clark attends to the evolution of ideas and themes embodied in the prayer and of the understanding of prayer itself across epic transitions, from Judaism to the teaching of Jesus, from Jesus to the Gospels, and from the Gospels to earliest self-consciously "catholic" Christianity. This is an engaging narrative of the history behind and reception of the Lord's Prayer; it illustrates how a text's reception may help us explore and understand the multivalent meaning of the text itself. ![]() Free Download Ginia César Bontempo, "On Earth as It Is in Heaven: Socio-Environmental Experiences in the Local Church " English | ISBN: 1506477607 | 2019 | 96 pages | EPUB | 1476 KB On Earth as It Is in Heaven presents concrete experiences of social environmental action in churches in Brazil. Representing a diversity of styles and contexts, and coming from different regions of the country, what these experiences and actions have in common is taking the divine principle of "as in heaven" and putting it into practice. This is a challenging read, which will move people into collective action, brining God's kingdom to Earth. ![]() Free Download Aurel Kolnai, Barry Smith, Carolyn Korsmeyer, "On Disgust" English | 2004 | pages: 63 | ISBN: 0812695666 | PDF | 9,8 mb Kolnai made a breakthrough in the phenomenology of aversion when he showed the "double intentionality" of emotions like fear, focusing on both the object of fear and the subjects' concern for his own well-being, this being one of the ways in which fear differs from disgust. In a surprising yet persuasive move, Kolnai argues that disgust is never related to inorganic or non-biological matter, and that its arousal by moral objects has an underlying similarity with its arousal by organic material: a particular combination of life and death. Kolnai gives an analytic list of various kinds of disgusting objects (which should not be read just before lunch) and shows how disgust relates to the five senses. ![]() Free Download Oltre il velo : Mistero e segreti dei fantasmi Italiano | 2025 | ASIN: B0F49JL9S4 | 130 Pages | EPUB | 23 MB Benvenuti in "Oltre il Velo : mistero e segreti dei fantasmi ".

Morriss; Rose-Marie Belle Antoine; Craig M. Boise; Anna Manasco Dionne; Richard K. Gordon; Jonathan R. Macey 2010 | 150 Pages | ISBN: 0844743240 | EPUB | 1 MB Offshore financial centers (OFCs) have a troubled reputation for enabling tax evasion, money laundering, autocratic looting, and even the financing of terrorism-but they play an essential role in the world economy. Fears of criminal activity have prompted many onshore governments to restrict offshore competition, but over-regulating OFC activity presents a serious risk of destabilizing the global financial system. In Offshore Financial Centers and Regulatory Competition, a group of leading international law and finance experts argues that offshore jurisdictions have become key players in corporate finance and captive insurance markets. OFCs offer legal protections for financial privacy and provide regulatory competition to onshore jurisdictions, forcing national governments to evaluate and reform their own tax and regulatory policies. Offshore centers also help to streamline foreign direct investment and create growth opportunities for countries with weak financial systems by providing access to global capital and sophisticated courts. As the ongoing financial crisis produces new regulatory regimes aimed at eradicating money laundering and other white-collar crimes, Andrew P. Morriss and his coauthors contend that legitimate offshore competition must be allowed to flourish. OFCs are no longer the shady tax havens portrayed in popular media, and onshore governments must recognize and protect their important contributions to the global economy. ![]() Free Download OSINT: Mastering the Art of Digital Investigation by Yuto Noriaki English | October 6, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DJLV1BGJ | 288 pages | EPUB | 0.34 Mb Unlock the secrets of the digital world with "OSINT: Mastering the Art of Digital Investigation" by Yuto Noriaki.
