Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In an age of hurried judgment and moral uncertainty, A Father's Words invites the reader to slow down and attend to the formation of conscience, character, and moral responsibility.Drawn from Father John Henry Stapleton's 1904 Moral Briefs, this carefully verified collection gathers more than two hundred quotations from all ninety-nine Briefs. Its subjects include the will, liberty, faith, charity, authority, justice, truth, restitution, education, and the moral order.Stapleton's words remain the governing voice. Clearly labeled Editorial Axioms distill recurring moral principles; selected Editor's Reflections illuminate important distinctions; and the Four Voices conversations place enduring questions in thoughtful dialogue with wider philosophical perspectives.
