By Nature Equal
What do we mean when we refer to people as being equal by nature? In the first book devoted to human equality as a fact rather than as a social goal or a legal claim, John Coons and Patrick Brennan argue that even if people possess unequal talents or are born into unequal circumstances, all may still be equal if it is true that human nature provides them the same access to moral self-perfection. Plausibly, in the authors' view, such access stems from the power of individuals to achieve goodness simply by doing the best they can to discover and perform correct actions. If people enjoy the same degree of natural capacity to try, all of us are offered the same opportunities for moral self-fulfi...
The Vocation of the Child

Tree House Down
Seventeen years after a young girl was found murdered, her accused killer has returned to the scene of the crime: the cute, one-traffic-light village of Ludlow in the Green Mountains of Vermont. A "multigenerational family saga with a murder-mystery twist" (Newsday), "Tree House Down" explores how this singular event has affected the accused and his family over time, and the moral implications involved for those who know much more than they've ever let on. A small tree house takes center stage, and seems to hold the secrets to solving the mystery of Kerry Ann Jefferson's death once and for all. Oozing suspense, the pace quickens throughout the book, as shamanic drum circles, a near-death experience, and spirits of the terrible past pepper an often-otherworldly plot that dares you to ever stop reading. Adding another layer of fascinating nuance to the story, the nine main characters are based on the nine personality types of the Enneagram.

From Sacrament to Contract
This newly revised and enlarged edition of John Witte's authoritative historical study explores the interplay of law, theology, and marriage in the Western tradition. Witte uncovers the core beliefs that formed the theological genetic code of Western marriage and family law. He explores the systematic models of marriage developed by Catholics, Lutherans, Calvinists, Anglicans, and Enlightenment thinkers, and the transformative influence of each model on Western marriage law. In addition, he traces the millennium-long reduction of marriage from a complex spiritual, social, contractual, and natural institution into a simple private contract with freedom of entrance, exercise, and exit for husband and wife alike. This second edition updates and expands each chapter and the bibliography. It also includes three new chapters on classical, biblical, and patristic sources.
