Morality, Mortality: Volume I: Death and Whom to Save from It by: Kamm, F. M.

Softcover. NY, Oxford University Press, 1st, 1993, Book: Good, Dust Jacket: None, 344 pages, soft cover. Covers have some minor laminate wear, interior pages are clean and bright. Binding is solid. This book is about death. Death is generally felt to be the worst wrong that can happen to one. Philosophers from Epicurus onwards have argued, on the contrary, that as death involves the absence of experience, and bad things involve bad sensations, death cannot be bad; also, for something to be bad, it must be bad for someone, yet as we cease to exist when we die, it cannot be bad for us. Kamm discusses this view and the objections made to it. Clean copy. Record # 34114

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
