Yes, but not quite : encountering Josiah Royce's ethico-religious insight

View full imageby Dwayne A. Tunstall     (Get the Book)
One hundred years ago, Harvard philosopher Josiah Royce was the most important speculative thinker in the English-speaking world about Christian philosophical ethics. Tunstall (Grand Valley State) offers an intensive examination of Royce's general theological system and his radical ethics of loyalty. Theologians may take greater interest in Royce's pioneering efforts to reconcile God's supreme divinity with the full reality of human souls and personalities. Royce's idealistic metaphysics was challenged by charges of pantheism and absolutism, and it was especially challenged by fellow personalists to guarantee that the individual has independent freedom and responsibility. Royce sought a reconciliation in a God communing with people and people's striving for ethical improvement, a God of ethical ideals and especially the supreme ideal of "loyalty to loyalty." Those who strive for moral improvement by staying loyal to ideals, and to those fellow human beings pursuing ideals, together build the "beloved community." Tunstall then discusses the influence of Royce's thought on Martin Luther King Jr., and some intersections with the views of Levinas. --Choice

His Systematic Theology provides the core theology content for all my classes and most of the other undergraduate theology courses at the University. It excels in its clarity, readability, and biblically based approach that seeks to get theology into real life. Systematic Theology consistently accomplishes its obvious goal throughout---to lead the reader to greater knowledge and worship of the God of the Bible.'

The remarkable wisdom of Solomon : ancient insights from the Song of Solomon, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes

View full imageby Henry M. Morris     (Get the Book)
-- Verse-by-verse commentary of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon -- Much research and detail on the life of Solomon is presented -- An in-depth study for the serious student of the BibleIsn't it amazing that a man who had 700 wives and 300 concubines and ruled a country for 40 years still had time to write three of the most profound books of the Bible? Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon all show marks of divine inspiration, and each can be a blessing to the reader, but why would God choose a man who turned to idolatry to write these books? Dr. Henry Morris, author of the commentaries Treasures in the Psalms and The Remarkable Record of Job, addresses the enigma of Solomon and presents a verse-by-verse commentary on his writings. Having studied the Bible for 60 years, Dr. Morris' wisdom is also quite remarkable, as you will quickly learn as you read The Remarkable Wisdom of Solomon. (Publisher Supplied text)
