Summary

In "Euthyphro," Plato presents a profound dialogue that explores the nature of piety and the essence of moral virtue through a conversation between Socrates and Euthyphro. Set against the backdrop of Athenian society, this text employs a Socratic method to scrutinize popular theological beliefs and ethical principles, raising essential questions about the relationship between divine command and moral obligation. The dialogue is characterized by its incisive logic and literary elegance, typical of Plato's style, inviting readers to re-evaluate their understanding of what it means to be virtuous and religiously devout. Plato, a student of Socrates and a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, wrote "Euthyphro" during a period marked by political upheaval and philosophical inquiry within Athens. His exposure to Socratic dialogue and the Socratic method undoubtedly influenced his thought process, as he sought to analyze and contextualize ethical concepts through rigorous debate. The text embodies an early exploration of moral philosophy, reflecting Plato's ongoing quest for truth and understanding amidst the complexities of human behavior and belief. "Euthyphro" is an essential read for anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or theology. Through its rich examination of piety, it encourages readers to engage in self-reflection and critical thought about their own moral convictions. This dialogue remains relevant today, offering insights into the enduring questions of justice, morality, and the nature of the divine.

    "A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
 
 
 
Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
 
 
 
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
 
 
 
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
 
 
 
Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

She and her father would rush over to his home only to find out that he was no longer with them.Catherine went through a season of grief that hundreds of thousands of people endure every year in America. But even in the midst of anger, suffering, and guilt, she would say that Christ never left her.In Hope, Hurt, and Healing, Catherine Renfro addresses the reality of loss, the feeling of brokenness, the guilt of living on while also pointing to the hope of the gospel, the peace of relying on Christ, and the trusting in God even during the broken seasons.

Instead, she uses her own life to point people to Christ and lean on his goodness to discover hope for the present and healing for the future.
