Discourse on Free Will

Isaiah 56-66 (ICC)

Edward Short

Desiderius Erasmus and Martin Luther

A Critical and Exegetical Commentary

• An important discussion of free will in philosophy of religion

John Goldingay

“Newman and his Family is a psychological and spiritual voyage around the great Cardinal in the often fraught context of his familial relationships, which will be fascinating equally to Catholics, other faiths and unbelievers. Newman himself said that there was nothing more interesting than the ten thousand little details and complications of daily life and family history. With the wisdom of empathy, Edward Short’s gift is to let us hear Newman speak in his own voice, so distant from our own times and yet still so immediate. In this meticulously researched and lovingly written book, Newman has found his ideal biographer.”

Angela Thirlwell, Author of William and Lucy: the other Rossettis and Into the Frame: the four loves of Ford Madox Brown Newman and his Family looks at the profound influence of John Henry Newman’s parents and siblings on his deeply personal Christian faith.

EDWARD SHORT is the author of Newman and his Contemporaries. He lives with his wife and daughter in New York, USA.

• Written by two of the most important thinkers of the Reformation Comprising Erasmus’s The Free Will and Luther’s The Bondage of the Will, Discourse on Free Will is a landmark text in the history of Protestantism.

Encapsulating the perspective on free will of two of the most important figures in the history of Christianity, it remains to this day a powerful, thought-provoking and timely work.

DESIDERIUS ERAMSUS (1466/9-1536) was the most renowned scholar of his age, a celebrated humanist and Classicist, and the first teacher of Greek at Cambridge, UK. MARTIN LUTHER (1483-1546) was the founder of the German Reformation. His 95 Theses became a manifesto for reform of the Catholic Church and led to his being tried for heresy. He remained in Germany, Professor of Biblical Exegesis at the University of Wittenburg, until his death.

For over one hundred years International Critical Commentaries have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis – linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological – to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments.

The new commentaries continue this tradition. All new evidence now available is incorporated and new methods of study are applied. In this volume Goldingay, a noted specialist on Deutero and Trito Isaiah, completes his work of commentary on the latter part of Isaiah, writing specifically on Isaiah 56-66, the so-called ‘trito-Isaiah’, following his widely acclaimed volumes (with David Payne) of the International Critical Commentary on Isaiah 40-55.

R eligion Violence and the Sacred René Girard Violence and the Sacred is René Girard’s landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature and myth. Girard’s forceful and thought-provoking analyses of biblical narrative, Greek tragedy and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

RENÉ GIRARD (1923-) was Andrew B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of French Language, Literature, and Civilization at Stanford University, USA, from 1981 to his retirement in 1995.

Aquinas at Prayer The Bible, Mysticism and Poetry Paul Murray OP Aquinas at Prayer draws attention to important aspects of Aquinas’s life and work which have been all too often overlooked or forgotten. Today Aquinas is almost exclusively regarded as an outstanding scholastic philosopher and theologian. But what is little known is that Aquinas was, first and last, a teacher of the Bible. The primary focus of this book is to explore the question of Aquinas’s own practice of prayer and his teaching on prayer in his commentaries on the Psalms and St Paul. The book is strengthened by quotations from Aquinas in fresh translation.

PAUL MURRAY OP teaches the literature of the mystical tradition at the Angelicum University, Rome, Italy.

Purification Edited by Gerhard Marcel Martin and Katja Triplett In the religions of the world, there is strong emphasis on the practice of ‘purification’ for the religious transformation of mind and body in connection with achieving such ultimate objectives as enlightenment and salvation. The contributors discuss the great diversity of forms and meanings with respect to religious transformation in their respective fields of research.

While invoking earlier debates within the study of religions and theology on the topic of ‘purification’ the studies in this volume penetrate further into the meaning and structure of religious transformation of mind and body in the religions of the world and open comparative perspectives on this topic.

God and International Relations

The Voice of Conscience A Political Genealogy of Western Ethical Experience Mika Ojakangas This volume argues that the experience of conscience has always been at the core of the Western political tradition. The work discusses the ambiguous role of conscience in politics, contesting the claim that it is the best defense against totalitarianism. It then look back at canonical authors, from the Church Fathers and Luther to Rousseau and Derrida, to show how the experience of conscience constitutes the foundation of Western ethics and politics.
