I'm Right / You're Wrong
Moral disagreement is commonly regarded as a threat to objective morality in scholarly circles and in popular culture—perhaps being one of the most significant objections against Christian theistic moral theory. Some skeptics argue that as people divide about what is right and wrong—often inciting moral evil and causing human suffering—the Christian view of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God behind morality is inconsistent. Accordingly, I’m Right/You’re Wrong investigates whether moral disagreement abolishes the traditional Christian view of God and its accepted ontology of morality. It further analyzes and proposes the logical problem of moral disagreement, applying the methodology proposed by Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga in his free-will defense. Moreover, this book discusses key theological and philosophical perspectives regarding God’s omniscience, creational power, and the human attribute of free will.
When God Gives Life a Purpose
When God gives life a purpose, everything is transformed, and the sun will always shine, even in the midst of winter! This is the author's personal account of her life journey, where she discovers her faith in God and the resilience to persevere. The book delves deeper than self-help, emphasizing living in Cod while facing life's adversities and triumphing over them. The studies were carried out with exceptional devotion to construct sound biblical solutions. The ideas display an innovative trait and uncover plentiful prospects. Their luminosity, perseverance, and capacity to convey meanings make them authentic spiritual gifts that are available to everyone and signify a condition to be unraveled. In general, the relationship between the Word and the idea promotes the relationship between new concepts, attitudes, and changes. The quality of the text is determined by the complex and enigmatic process of aligning the presented elements with the social-cognitive content. Reading is viewed as an intentional concept, where the participants are active agents who construct themselves and each other through dialogic exchanges.
Kósmos Noetós
This pioneering book presents a reconstitution of Charles Sanders Peirce philosophical system as a coherent architecture of concepts that form a unified theory of reality. Historically, the majority of Peircean scholars adopted a thematic approach to study isolated topics such as semiotics and pragmatism without taking into account the author’s broader philosophical framework, which led to a poor and fragmented understanding of Peirce’s work. In this volume, professor Ivo Assad Ibri, past president of The Charles Sanders Peirce Society and a leading figure in the Brazilian community of Peircean scholars, adopts a systemic approach to Peirce’s thought and presents Peirce’s scientific ...
Progress in the Balance
Through a historical ethnography of Santos, Brazil, Progress in the Balance addresses and assesses an anthropological theory of progress. Observing that anthropology is a progressive discipline with a pessimistic attitude towards progress, Daniel Reichman explains the contested meanings of progress in Brazil and explores how anthropologists and others can define this concept more generally. He investigates how any society can separate "progress" from plain old change and, if change is constantly happening all around us, how and why certain events get lifted out of a normal timeframe and into a mythic narrative of progress. Each chapter outlines a particular episode in the history of Santos, a city undergoing an unprecedented period of economic and political turmoil, as it is represented in public culture, mainly through museums, monuments, art, and public events. Drawing on the anthropology of myth, Reichman proposes a model that he refers to as a "clash of timescapes." Progress in the Balance shows how this concept of "progress" requires a different temporal structure that separates sacralized social change from mundane historical events.
O Apóstolo da Gentilidade
Saulo de Tarso (o Apóstolo da Gentilidade), em toda verdade e plenitude do seu brio varonil, foi humilde discípulo do Crucificado capaz de sofrer calado as maiores injúrias, não deixando, porém, de ser um homem genuíno, cheio de coragem e intrepidez, que soube fazer valer os seus direitos legais de cidadão romano, quando o exigiam a honra e o prestígio do Evangelho de Jesus, o Cristo. Para tanto, infelizmente granjeou muitos adversários. Contudo, não promoveu nenhum deles à categoria de inimigos. O Autor

In Readers' Hands
This volume explores the production, transmission, and reading practices of vernacular Bibles in early modern Europe. This varied collection of essays provides historical, book historical, literary, theological, and art historical perspectives to the movements of manuscript and printed Bibles. The contributions concern Bibles in many different languages and from across the European continent, from Ireland to Portugal. Rather than perceiving Scripture and the material carriers of Scripture as static things, this volume demonstrates how Bibles constantly acquired new meanings and functions as they moved through time and space, and were touched by the hands of makers, readers, and users.
