Why are we so restless? This perennial question ultimately arises as we navigate life as finite creatures. All of us have limits and bounds, and the universal responsibility of navigating them can produce restlessness. But what if finitude is a gift? What if God intended for his creation to be limited in order that they might live with him and within the created world more fully?

Free Download History, Metahistory, and Evil: Jewish Theological Responses to the Holocaust (New Perspectives in Post-Rabbinic Judaism) by Barbara Krawcowicz
English | January 26, 2021 | ISBN: 1644694816 | 242 pages | MOBI | 3.15 Mb
Much post-Holocaust Jewish thought published in North America has assumed that the Holocaust shattered traditional religious categories that had been used by Jews to account for historical catastrophes. But most traditional Jewish thinkers during the war saw no such overwhelming of tradition in the death and suffering delivered to Jews by Nazis. Through a comparative reading of postwar North American and wartime Orthodox Jewish texts about the Holocaust, Barbara Krawcowicz shows that these sources differ in the paradigms―modern and historicist for North American thinkers, traditional and covenantal for Orthodox thinkers―in which they emDescription historical events.

Free Download Anselm K. Min Claremont Graduate University, "Faith, Hope, Love, and Justice: The Theological Virtues Today"
English | ISBN: 1498577113 | 2018 | 264 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Faith, hope, and love, traditionally called theological virtues, are central to Christianity. This book renews faith, hope, and love in the context of the many contemporary challenges in many unique ways. It is an ecumenical collection of papers, equally divided between Catholic and Protestant positions, that seek to radically renew the classical doctrine of faith, hope, and love, and argues for their essential connection to the praxis of justice. It contains eight different approaches, each represented by a distinguished theologian and addressing different aspects of the issues and followed by insightful and critical responses. It does not merely seek to renew the theological virtues but to also reconstruct them in the demanding context of justice and the contemporary world, nor is it simply a treatise on justice but a theoretical and practical reflection on justice as vital expressions of faith in God, hope in God, and love of God. A non-dogmatic and non-ideological approach, it accommodates both conservative and liberal positions, and avoids the separation of the theological virtues from the demands of the contemporary world as well as the separation of justice talk from the theological context of faith, hope, and love. It seeks above all to renew, not merely repeat, the classical doctrine of faith, hope, and love in the contemporary context of the urgency of justice, and to do so ecumenically, comprehensively, and from a variety of perspectives and aspects.

Free Download Alkuin Schachenmayr, "The Corruption of Theological Institutions by Plagiarism in Dissertations "
English | ISBN: 9004529055 | 2022 | 332 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Getting a doctorate in Europe is supremely attractive for young Catholic priests from the Global South. They attain prestige, career advancement, and – in many cases – the opportunity to move permanently from impoverished countries to some of the world’s wealthiest. But do they submit rigorous, original doctoral research in keeping with universal academic standards? This study examines theological dissertations by international students accepted by major Austrian universities and shows that academic incompetence, plagiarism, and negligent supervision are seriously damaging theological institutions – in Europe and abroad. By looking the other way, advisors and administrators do their students and the church a disservice.
