Pinckaers (112 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. ?As Alasdair MacIntyre notes in the preface, the work of Pinckaers attracted strongand fully justified notice in this country with the publication in English of his TheSources of Christian Ethics. As Pinckaers himself notes in the text, excellently translatedby Michael Sherwin, the interest should in no way be limited to RomanCatholics. Morality recasts the earlier book in an argument that is both lower andupper case ?catholic,? and is accessible to readers and teachers outside the limitedcircle of moral theologians and academic ethicists. Pinckaers contends thatChristian morality is not first of all about obligations but about happiness, understandingthat the happiness of union with God is our natural destiny made possibleby grace. The Sermon on the Mount is at the center of an approach to moralitythat turns on the distinction between ?freedom for excellence? and ?freedom ofindifference,? the former understood as human flourishing and the latter as a ?neutral?capacity to choose between controversies. The proposal of Morality is thoroughlyChrist-centered, humanistic, and faithful to the magisterial teaching of theChurch. Warmly recommended.?First Things  ?If you want to have the experience of reflecting on Catholic morality as thoughyou were reading about it for the first time, treat yourself to Father ServaisPinckaers? Morality: The Catholic View. He has recovered the classical view of themoral life as the quest for happiness and has presented it with disarming simplicity.Bringing us back to the Sermon on the Mount and Romans 12?15, the writingsof Augustine and Aquinas, and the theme of natural law, he has freed those textsfrom the layers of legalism which has hidden their liberating, spiritual powers formoral living. By distinguishing freedom of indifference from freedom for excellence,he has restored a wise vision of freedom. No one has shown better the roleof virtues as building blocks for morality. Catechists need to read this book.?Rev. Alfred McBride, O.Praem., Professor of Homilectics and Catechetics at BlessedPope John XXIII Seminary, Weston, Massachusetts ?Father Pinckaers has given us a masterful exposition of Christian living. The clarityand brevity of his presentation ? captured well by the translator ? make this bookideal for classroom and parish use.     ?Readers will find the historical and systematic observations very informative.?Romanus Cessario, St. John?s Seminary, Brighton, Massachusetts.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. When we think of happiness, we have to admit that our idea is at times worldly and self-centered. Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount showed us that true happiness will elude us, however, if we follow that kind of thinking. And, in the form of a series of promises and challenges, which we have come to know as the Beatitudes, He told us how to find perfect happiness--both here and in the hereafter. In a world that is capable of the best and the worst, we all have reason to be concerned about the very possibility of ever finding happiness in our lifetimes. The good news of the Gospel message is that we can. Even more, it teaches a way based not on rules and obligations so much as one founded on love, a way that depends upon and leads to the blessings of God Himself. These pages have been written in the conviction that every seeker should make the Sermon on the Mount the primary source of what will and will not make her happy. In His approach to the question, Jesus insists from the outset that we face up to the inevitable trials of life: poverty, tears, hunger and thirst, and shows us how we can find God--the source and object of our joy--in the midst of them. Servais Pinckaers, OP, is Professor of Moral Theology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. The author of a dozen major works in French in the area of moral theology and spirituality, he is best known in the English-speaking world for his work titled The Sources of Christian Ethics.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El hombre del siglo XXI ¿todavía hará oración? Esta sencilla pregunta nos manifiesta la gravedad del problema de la oración en el momento presente: cuestiona su misma existencia. Los cristianos, educados para la oración desde su infancia, encuentran alguna dificultad en el planteamiento de este problema, pues la oración ocupa un puesto entre las tareas de su vida diaria y forma parte de sus costumbres. Saben que, sin la oración, no podemos penetrar en el Evangelio: ella anuda los lazos que nos unen personalmente con Cristo y con Dios; de esta forma la vida religiosa se concentra, en gran medida, en este acto. Pero la oración está hoy radicalmente sometida a discusión. Algunos la consideran como un valor ya caduco, o la conciben como algo diferente de lo que es en realidad. Se preguntan por qué el hombre moderno, que tiene conciencia de poder cubrir todas sus necesidades y que se considera emancipado, adulto, habría de sentir también la necesidad de dirigirse mediante súplicas a una Divinidad, cuya muerte proclaman los filósofos e incluso algunos teólogos. La oración es la expresión directa del amor evangélico, de ella se nutre y recibe su alimento diario. Por la pujanza del Espíritu la oración, por humilde que sea, se convierte en la gran fuerza que anima al Reino de Dios. Servais Th. Pinckaers , dominico, nació en Lieja en 1925. Profesor de Teología Moral en la Universidad de Friburgo, en Suiza, de 1973 a 1997. Doctor en Teología, es autor de una docena de libros sobre las fuentes de la moral y la moral católica. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. First published in French in 1985, this work has been recognised by scholars worldwide as one of the most important books in the field of moral theology. Here Servais Pinckaers, writing in a tone that is reconciliatory rather than polemical, returns Christians ethics to it's sources: the Gospel and the Holy Spirit. He discusses the complementary domains of morality and the behavioural and natural sciences, and traces the scriptural themes - particularly in the Sermon on the Mount and the writings of St. Paul - that most influence moral instruction. The unique feature of Pinckaer's contemporary Thomistic view it its emphasis on the virtues, gifts, and evangelical Beatitudes as the heart of the Christian moral life. His approach to morality results in what he calls the freedom for excellence, a notion of freedom that he contrasts with the nominalist concept of the freedom of indifference, which has dominated moral theology since the fourteenth century. This volume will serve the needs of both beginning and advanced students in seminary and university courses in moral theology and ethics.It will also provide the background and perspective needed ot achieve a fuller understanding of the moral teaching of the Catechism and of the encyclical Veritatis splendor. Servais Pinckaers, O.P., is professor of moral theology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. He is author of numerous books in moral moral theology, including most recently L'Evangile at la Morale (1989) and La Morale Catholique (1991).…
