by Mario T. García (2008)
"Based exclusively on original research and sources, Mario T. Garcia here offers the first major historical study to explore the various dimensions of the role of Catholicism in Chicano history in the twentieth century. This is also one of the first significant studies in the still-limited field of Chicano religious history."--book jacket.
Stephen J. McKenna
"In this volume, Stephen J. McKenna provides the first book-length treatment of Adam Smith's rhetorical theory, focusing on his theory of rhetorical propriety - the means by which effective communication is adapted to the variables of subject, audience, speaker or writer, purpose, and moment - and the centrality of this concept to his thought."--BOOK JACKET.
David W. Torrance, George Taylor
Historically anti-Semitism has been ingrained in much Christian theology and practice. Is this the result of New Testament teaching or an alien intrusion into Christianity? What is a Christian attitude towards the Jewish people and towards the State of Israel? What is currently going on in the Middle East and does Israel still play a role in God's purposes for the redemption of the world? This book seeks to set out a biblical and theological case for the ongoing importance of the Jewish people in God's plans for creation and to explain something of the complex and controversial situation in the modern day Israeli state.
Avery Dulles
Illustrates how a "post-critical" theology can draw on the riches of scripture and tradition as it reflects on the faith of the church in new contexts.
Richard Tuck
"The Rights of War and Peace is the first fully historical account of the formative period of modern theories of international law. It sets the scene with an extensive history of the theory of international relations from antiquity down to the seventeenth century. Professor Tuck then examines the arguments over the moral basis for war and international aggression, and links the debates to the writings of the great political theorists such as Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Kant."--BOOK JACKET.
