Beschreibung

In "Essays of Theodicy," Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz embarks on a profound exploration of the philosophical and theological questions surrounding the existence of evil in a world created by an omnipotent and benevolent God. Written in a meticulous yet accessible prose style characteristic of Enlightenment thought, Leibniz deftly weaves intricate arguments that challenge the pessimism of his contemporaries. He posits that evil, rather than undermining divine goodness, serves a greater purpose in a balanced universe. This work elegantly intersects with Leibniz'Äôs metaphysical principles, particularly his doctrine of pre-established harmony, enriching the broader philosophical discourse of the time regarding free will, morality, and the nature of God'Äôs creation. Leibniz, a polymath and one of the foremost figures of the Enlightenment, was deeply influenced by the prevailing theological debates of 17th-century Europe, particularly in the aftermath of the Thirty Years'Äô War. His unique background in mathematics, philosophy, and law enabled him to confront theodicy not only as a theological issue but also as a reflection of human rationality and morality. His diverse intellectual pursuits and correspondences with other great minds of the era informed his contemplative approach to these challenging themes. "Essays of Theodicy" is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of philosophy, theology, and ethics. It serves as a significant precursor to later discussions on the problem of evil and provides insights into the intellectual milieu of its time. Engaging with Leibniz's arguments invites readers to reflect on the complexities of faith and reason, ultimately enriching their understanding of the human condition.

    Creation is a foundational pillar of the biblical storyline, yet it plays little role in contemporary evangelical ethics. Seeking to correct this oversight, Dennis Hollinger employs the creation story and creation themes throughout Scripture as a foundation for Christian ethics. 
     
    After demonstrating why creation is theologically significant and important for Christian ethics, Hollinger develops major creation paradigms that provide ethical guidance on a wide range of issues, including money, sex, power, racism, creation care, social institutions, and artificial intelligence, among many others. Creation and Christian Ethics shows throughout that the triune God creates from love, and in that creation are moral designs for humanity's journey in God's world. 
     
    Professors and students of Christian ethics will find this a valuable resource for the classroom, while pastors and church leaders will benefit from personal and small-group study.

    "...offers an eclectic menu of treats that serve up a new and fresh look at a genre we rarely connect directly to the demands of the real world, much less plumb for key lessons about leadership." — ARMY Magazine
    
    In the past decade, heroes and villains spawned from the pages of comic books have upended popular culture and revolutionized the entertainment industry. The narratives weave together a multitude of complementary and sometimes competing storylines, spun across decades, generations, and mediums, forming a complex tapestry that simultaneously captures the imagination and captivates the mind. These stories reveal our own vulnerabilities while casting an ideal to which we aspire. They pull at our deepest emotions and push us to the cusp of reality, and bring us back to Earth with a renewed hope of a better tomorrow. They are an endless source of powerful metaphors to help us learn and develop, then be the best versions of ourselves possible.
    
    Through the lens of the superhero genre, each chapter explores contemporary challenges in leadership, team building, and conflict, while emphasizing the role of humanity and human nature in our own world.
