Lyons Nathan: God and Being

God and Being

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe

In this study, Romulus D. Stefanut offers a contextual reading of Philo's 
 De vita contemplativa
 , exploring its background, genre, composition, and function beyond the so-called "apologetic and historical works" of Philo. Often, scholars have lost the hermeneutical focus of the treatise itself and have concentrated their attention solely on the historical existence of the Mareotic community described in the treatise, advancing arguments related to its historicity or lack thereof. The author therefore suggests that the purpose of 
 De vitacontemplativa
 is meant to offer the best Jewish Alexandrine expression of a way of life, well-known from ancient Greek philosophy as the theoretical or contemplative life. It is composed in relation rather than opposition to the lost first half of the treatise, dedicated to the practical life of the Essenes. Simultaneously, there might be a friendly polemic between Philo's description of the 
 Therapeutae
 versus the Essenes.

Forschungen zum Alten Testament 2. Reihe

In the Book of Ezekiel, the term "midst/middle" appears with the highest frequency in any book of the Hebrew Bible. In line with Ancient Near Eastern ideas of cosmic order, the concept of "center - periphery" serves to illustrate the prophet's message of doom and restoration for 6th century Israel.

'How to Be a (Happy) Skeptic is the book we've been waiting for! If you've ever recoiled from Stoicism as too austere, this book offers a sensible, socially responsible middle ground to living the life you want. What's more, it is the single best guide now available to the rich body of practical wisdom written by Marcus Tullius Cicero.' -MICHAEL FONTAINE, author of How to Have Willpower'How to Be a (Happy) Skeptic combines intellectual biography with self-help writing of the best kind, showing us how curiosity and doubt-not certainty, or faith-can be foundational for a rich, fulfilling life.' -M. D. USHER, author of Following Nature's Lead'This book is a wide-ranging introduction to ancient Greco-Roman ethics and a swift history of Cicero's life and times. More importantly, it's a compelling guide to living well-to thinking reasonably, to savoring friendship, to building a better society, and to facing suffering with dignity and grace.' -SCOTT SAMUELSON, author of Rome as a Guide to the Good Life'To his talents as a natural writer, expert historian of philosophy, and committed practical ethicist, Massimo Pigliucci here adds the skills of a gifted biographer. His deft interweaving of Cicero's life with an inquiry into how to best live our own makes this book a compelling and spiritually uplifting achievement.' -JAMES ROMM, author of Dying Every Day'Massimo Pigliucci strikes again. No one is better at illuminating the therapeutic power of the history of philosophy, or at showing its continued relevance for knowing what it means to have a life worth living.' -ROBIN REAMES, author of The Ancient Art of Thinking for Yourself: 'With the help of Pigliucci's expert guidance, readers will learn everything there is to know about [Cicero,] one of the most influential figures in Western philosophy, and in the process, they will be rewarded with a renewed understanding of themselves and the world around them.' -VITTORIO BUFACCHI, author of Why Cicero

A Penguin Classics Hardcover

A beautiful boxed set of the major works by the three great Stoic philosophers, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith 'Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.' This collection presents the greatest works by the three major Stoic philosophers, in beautiful hardback editions designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Meditations, written by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to provide personal consolation, is one of the most influential works of philosophy of all time. Seneca's Letters to a Stoic upholds the ideals of Stoicism - the wisdom of the self-possessed person immune to life's setbacks - while valuing friendship and courage. And in his Discourses, Epictetus argues that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not. Together, these works offer a complete education in Stoicism.

Major Works of the Stoics 3-Book Boxed Set

The themes "Pentateuch" and "diaspora" may seem an unlikely pair-but only if one fails to recognize that major portions of the Pentateuch were shaped in the exilic and postexilic periods. Kishiya Hidaka argues that many parts of the Pentateuch emerged in response to the rise of postexilic diaspora communities, reflecting the socio-historical discourse on the question of Israel's identity. These Pentateuchal layers, dating to the exilic and postexilic periods, engage particularly with the prophetic traditions-especially Jeremiah and Ezekiel-which also reflect the theological and political discourse on identity formation.

Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks asks 'Who speaks for the Catholic Church during a humanitarian crisis?' and answers that there is no single voice; only a plurality of Catholic actors whose relationships with the Holy See differ sharply, and whose humanitarian work is shaped as much by internal organisational dynamics and Church politics as by the crises they respond to.This book offers the first comparative study of three of the world's most significant Catholic humanitarian networks: the Caritas confederation, the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Community of Sant'Egidio, through drawing on over thirty interviews and extensive fieldwork in Rome and the Vatican. Each network occupies a distinct status (dependent, semi-dependent, and independent organisations) in relation to Church hierarchy, producing strikingly different approaches to assisting refugees and forced migrants. Moving between the internal governance of the Church and the external landscape of secular humanitarianism, the book exposes a persistent and more nuanced "religious literacy gap" among UN agencies, donors, and NGOs working alongside faith-based partners. Combining an interpretivist, practitioner-informed methodology at the intersection of IR, religion, and humanitarianism, Dr Intropido directly engaged with diplomats, humanitarian workers, and Church officials, offering both a new theoretical account of religious actors in world politics and a practical checklist for anyone partnering with Catholic humanitarian organisations.The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks will be essential reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology of religion, humanitarian, development, and migration studies, and for practitioners navigating the increasingly visible role of religion in global affairs.

Oxford Studies in the History of Economics

To understand the genesis of the modern economy, we must also investigate its normative foundations. More than a century after Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, the pursuit of this key methodological intuition remains unfinished. This book revisits the legacy of a neglected protagonist in the history of economic thought: Leonardus Lessius (1554-1623). Lessius' work provides unique insight into the normative roots of modern economic thought. In a context characterised by the globalization of trade, the rise of stock exchanges, and profound political and religious upheavals, merchants, bankers, and princes eagerly sought his advice to navigate the New World. Praised by Joseph A. Schumpeter as a 'father of modern economic analysis', Lessius became known in his own time as the 'Oracle of the Netherlands'. His main treatise, 'On Justice and Law', quickly gained the status of a reference work due to the clarity of its economic observations and Lessius' brilliant mastery of legal and moral reasoning. He offered practical solutions to a wide range of cases of conscience related to speculation, insurance, insider trading, subprime debt, interest-taking, abuse of market power, monopolies, public banks, safe investment vehicles, and many other economic and financial issues. It certainly was not his intention to turn the whole world into a competitive market without any limits as Lessius deplored humanity's inclination to succumb to the 'sacred hunger for gold'. However, he did wish to encourage effort, hard work and clever dealings, thus contributing significantly to the normative justification of modern commerce and finance. 

In a time marked as much by fierce debates on grace and free will as by doubts about the legitimacy of the first global economy, Lessius offers a glimpse into the interconnectedness between ideas on spiritual salvation and material prosperity.

My Aphorisms

Hope Ohiarah {Mr. Hope}

Life rarely teaches its deepest lessons in a straight line. They emerge through relationships, choices, setbacks, responsibilities, silence, work, time, and the daily tests of character. In My Aphorisms: Realities of Life, Mr. Hope gathers forty-six original aphorisms and develops each into a thoughtful meditation on the ordinary experiences that shape who we become.
Moving across themes of trust, simplicity, curiosity, enterprise, attentiveness, discernment, discipline, cultural appreciation, marriage, leadership, resilience, integrity, and personal growth, the book turns concise observations into practical reflections. Relatable stories and familiar situations invite readers to look beneath appearances, question assumptions, strengthen their foundations, and recognize the enduring value of wisdom, compassion, responsibility, and belief in one another.
This book is not meant to be read once and set aside. It is a companion for reflection-one you can open in different seasons of life and encounter with fresh understanding. Whether read from beginning to end or one aphorism at a time, My Aphorisms: Realities of Life challenges readers to examine their choices, deepen their relationships, cultivate a disciplined mind, and live with greater purpose. Its central invitation is simple: learn from life, stay open to growth, and let wisdom show in how you treat yourself and others.

ICLARS Series on Law and Religion

The concept of human dignity is already embedded in the constitutional architecture of the European Union and throughout the world, but it remains a slippery and elusive concept. In this volume, leading commentators from across the globe address the shift from the monolithic influence of major world religions in the past towards religious pluralism coupled with the increased secularism of civil society. The contributors, drawn from different backgrounds and traditions, explore how the deployment of a nuanced understanding of human dignity can provide a way to maximise religious liberty for all within liberal democracies. Specific consideration is given to the reasonable accommodation of religious practices through exemptions to generally applicable laws, conscientious objection on the grounds of religious beliefs, the interplay between religious pluralism and legal pluralism, balancing religious sensibilities with same-sex marriage, exercising the right to change one's religion, both generally and with a particular focus on data protection, protecting the right to asylum in the light of recent changes in migratory flows and exploring its impact on those enjoying non-theistic beliefs, as well as the complex relationship between the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox Churches in these febrile times. Through the prism of informed investigation of these matters of specificity, the volume offers readers fresh insights and analysis which collectively contribute to an overall picture of governments in liberal democracies being encouraged and enabled to foster laws and practices whereby pluralism can be encouraged, and human dignity can flourish. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Law and Religion, Human Rights Law, Constitutional Law and International Relations.
