Tato publikace je nové průkopnické dílo Johna Webstera na téma životní pohody zvířat. Vychází z jeho první, vysoce oceňované knihy Životní pohoda zvířat: Střízlivé kázání o Ráji a zabývá se nejen kritickou revizí dosaženého pokroku v této oblasti, ale také otázkou, jak lze životní pohodu zvířat do budoucna zlepšovat.
The evils of greed and ambition overwhelm love, innocence, and the bonds of kinship in this dark tragedy concerning the secret marriage of a noblewoman and a commoner. John Webster’s great Jacobean drama detailing the fiendish schemes of two brothers who desire their wealthy sister’s title and estates ends with a bloody and horrifying climax. A dynamic plot brimming with poetic lyricism, this provocative and profoundly original work will appeal to general readers, students, and teachers of drama and literature.
Drama významného alžbětinského dramatika z roku 1612 je inspirováno skutečným osudem florentské kurtizány Vittorie Accoramboni na dvoře Medicejů, která byla zavražděna v pouhých osmadvaceti letech. Příběh kruté msty a nelítostné nenávisti plný šokujících zvratů je zároveň nebojácnou kritikou mravů a korupce na tehdejším anglickém královském dvoře. Vychází v překladu Františka Fröhlicha jako 180. svazek edice D.
This magisterial statement by one of the world's most significant systematic theologians shows why theology matters and why its pursuit is a demanding but exhilarating venture.
Put together as a companion volume to his earlier volume, Word and Church, in this book John Webster begins to give voice to a reordered conception of the substance of Christian teaching, at the heart of which lies a discovery of the content and consequences of Christian teaching about God's perfection. Webster gives the readers a worked example of 'theological theology', that is, Christian theology which takes its rise in the Christian confession of the gospel which seeks to hear, celebrate and commend. This classic volume from one of the leading theologians in the world remains an important contribution to the field of systematic theology. For this Cornerstones edition Webster has written a new preface in which he sets the work against the current debate and his own current theology.
This volume features a collection of plays by John Webster, showcasing his distinctive style and mastery of dark themes. Known for his complex characters and intricate plots, Webster delves into the human psyche, exploring themes of revenge, morality, and the macabre. This edition highlights the depth of his dramatic works, offering readers insight into the Elizabethan era's theatrical landscape. It serves as a valuable resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of classic literature.
The book explores a Christian theology of holiness, emphasizing its foundation in the Holy Trinity and Scripture. It highlights the importance of prayerful reliance on the Holy Spirit and the communal aspect of faith among believers. The pursuit of holiness is framed as a process that culminates in reverence for God, aiming ultimately to sanctify His holy name. This work integrates theological reasoning with the lived experience of the Christian community, presenting a holistic approach to understanding and embodying holiness.
In Word and Church readers are treated to chapters that examine the field of Christian Dogmatics, presenting a clear trajectory in the work of John Webster, that moves from interpretation of 20th-century Protestant theology to doctrinal construction. Webster addresses the modern traditions of Christian divinity, and the topics which come to the fore in making sense of these traditions: the nature of the Bible and its interpretation; the place of Jesus Christ in modern theological culture; and the basis and shape of human agency. As a whole the book boldly indicates how dilemmas or inadequacies in modern treatments of these topics might be clarified by more direct employment of language about God and the gospel. The classic chapters present the work of one of the world's leading contemporary theologians at his creative best. For this Cornerstones edition the author has provided a new preface in which he contextualizes the work within his current theology.
This 2003 book is a loud reaffirmation of the triune God at the heart of a scripture-based Christianity, but it is written with intellectual rigour by a theologian who understands the currents of modern secular thought, and is able to work from them towards a constructive position on biblical authority. schovat popis
