The Coherence of Life Without God Before God: The Problem of Earthly Desires in the Later Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer by: Reynolds, Terrence

Hardcover. Lanham, MD, University Press of America, 1st, 1989, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 170 pages, hardcover. Covers are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. In his Letters and Papers from Prison, Dietrich Bonhoeffer urges Christians to feel their longings for earthly realities to the fullest, and argues that such yearnings can strengthen ones faith. This issue has been overlooked by Bonhoeffer scholars, despite its central place in the Letters, and this study seeks to correct that oversight. Through selective, chronological analysis, this text shows Bonhoeffer's progressive development towards a positive view of the natural and fallen life. This new perspective has rich implications for Christian anthropology and ethics. Clean copy. Record # 33816

The Navigation of Feeling: A Framework for the History of Emotions by: Reddy, William M.

Hardcover. NY, Cambridge University Press, 1st, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 380 pages, hardcover. Pictorial boards are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. This book offers a theory of emotions which both critiques and expands upon recent research in the fields of anthropology and psychology. Exploring the links between emotion and cognition, between culture and emotional expression, Reddy applies this theory of emotions to the processes of history. He demonstrates how emotions change over time, how emotions have a very important impact on the course of events, and how different social orders either facilitate or constrain emotional life. In an investigation of Revolutionary France, where sentimentalism in literature and philosophy had promised a new and unprecedented kind of emotional liberty, Reddy's theory of emotions and historical change is successfully put to the test.
