Mary on the Eve of the Second Vatican Council (9780268101589)

The Blessed Virgin Mary is uniquely associated with Catholicism, and the century preceding the Second Vatican Council was arguably the most fertile era for Catholic Marian studies. In 1964, Pope John Paul VI published the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, or Lumen Gentium (LG), the eighth chapter of which presents the most comprehensive magisterial teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary. As part of its Marian Initiative, the Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame invited scholars to a conference held at Notre Dame in October 2013 to reflect the rich Marian legacy on the eve of the Second Vatican Council. The essays unanimously stress that the Blessed Virgin Mary is not merely a peripheral figure in Christian faith and in the panorama of theology. More than fifty years after Lumen Gentium, students of theology as well as Marian devotees take their bearings from this document in order to promote the person of Mary and the study of Mariology, as well as grow in authenti...

The Acts of the Risen Lord Jesus: Luke\'s Account of God\'s Unfolding Plan (9780830826285)

When the book of Acts is mentioned, a cluster of issues spring to mind, including speaking in tongues and baptism with the Holy Spirit, church government and practice, and missionary methods and strategies. At the popular level, Acts is more often mined for answers to contemporary debates than heard for its natural inflections. Instead of using Acts as a prooftext, this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume brings a biblical-theological framework to the account to expose Luke's major themes as they relate to the book as a whole. With this framework in place, Alan Thompson argues that Acts is an account of the 'continuing story' of God's saving purposes. Consequently we find that Luke wants to be read in light of the Old Testament promises and the continuing reign of Christ in the inaugurated kingdom. Read in this way as a snapshot of God's dynamic, unfolding kingdom, the book of Acts begins to regain the deep relevance it had in the first century. Addressing k...

Music Instinct : How Music Works and Why We Can't Do Without It (9780199754274)

From Bach fugues to Indonesian gamelan, from nursery rhymes to rock, music has cast its light into every corner of human culture. But why music excites such deep passions, and how we make sense of musical sound at all, are questions that have until recently remained unanswered. Now in The Music Instinct, award-winning writer Philip Ball provides the first comprehensive, accessible survey of what is known--and still unknown--about how music works its magic, and why, as much as eating and sleeping, it seems indispensable to humanity. Deftly weaving together the latest findings in brain science with history, mathematics, and philosophy, The Music Instinct not only deepens our appreciation of the music we love, but shows that we would not be ourselves without it. The Sunday Times hailed it as a wonderful account of why music matters, with Ball's passion for music evident on every page. Product details ...

A TIRANIA DO MÉRITO: O QUE ACONTECEU COM O BEM COMUM? (9788520014165)

"As democracias liberais estão em risco. E, de acordo com o filósofo Michael J. Sandel, o princípio do mérito, um de seus pilares básicos, é o responsável por esse cenário.   Vivemos em uma constante competição, que separa o mundo entre ""ganha dores"" e ""perdedores"", esconde privilégios e vantagens e justifica o status quo por meio de ideias como ""quem se esforça tudo pode"" e ""se você pode sonhar, você pode fazer"". O resultado concreto é um mundo que reforça a desigualdade social e, ao mesmo tempo, culpabiliza as pessoas, o que gera uma onda coletiva de raiva, frustração, populismo, polarização e descrença em relação ao governo e aos demais cidadãos. A resposta pública se manifesta em eventos como as eleições de Donald Trump, no s Estados Unidos em 2016, e de Jair Bolsonaro, no Brasil em 2018.Ao analisar conceitos em torno da ética do estudo, do trabalho, do sucesso, do fracasso, da tentativa e ...
