Using developmental psychological theory from Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, Norma Hann's emphasis on the role of emotion and defense mechanisms in self-perceptions related to morality, and Carol Gilligan's theory of sexual differences in ethics, as well as Martin Hoffman's theory of empathic development, Shelton constructs a moral theory rooted in the human capacity for empathy. He considers how empathy is developed, how emotions may be developed, and how persons become blind to their own immorality, ending with a brief caution about the limits of empathy. Recommended for all libraries, but especially for public and seminary libraries. |

Beautifully crafted book with Easter meditations, this title is set in a quiet type and enriched by ten full-color reproductions of classic paintings. The cross and the resurrection--suffering and defeat of death--were central themes in the writings and in the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian hanged by the Nazis in 1945. |

"Joy is with God. She descends from him and fastens onto our spirits, body and soul. And whenever and wherever God's Joy gets hold of us, there she will come out, catch on, and tear apart locked doors." -- From the book. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was imprisoned by the Gestapo in April 1943 and murdered two years later at the age of 39. These meditations--selected from his own writings and homilies--reflect on that deepest meaning of Christmas that can shine through even the darkest moments of life. The text and color artwork invite readers to share Bonhoeffer's deep faith in the reality of Christmas, no matter what our circumstances. |

An unforgettable Renaissance novel about Giordano Bruno - the feisty ex-monk who was thrown out of the royal courts and half the universities in Europe, and faced burning at the stake for refusing to recant his ideas of an infinite universe with numerous peopled worlds - ideas that would influence Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, and even James Joyce. |

Now in a new edition--with new material--is the million-copy bestseller on our shared endeavor to become what we already are: human beings. In more than 50 insightful meditations, Eugene Kennedy helps readers to better understand the human condition and to live with humor, compassion, and purpose. It is not a cure for loneliness or the thousands of pains that come from being alive, but it can help one get through bad times and help others do the same. |

Hugo Ovath wants to be a hero. Coming of age in Eastern Europe after World War II, he offers his youthful idealism and enthusiasm to the Communist Party, whose vision of a better future dazzles him. Agreeing to help infiltrate the Catholic Church, he becomes a priest and eventually a cardinal vitally involved in negotiations between the church and the new Communist government. But his conscience now troubles him. He cannot believe in God but begins to question the party. For he realizes that his utopian dreams have led him to hurt those he loves the most: his parents; his brother, Ferenc; his best friend, Jeno; his onetime lover Eva; and his mentor, Ladislaus. His idealism fades, and when the party, deciding he is no longer an asset, requests him to publicly leave the Church, he defects to Rome. It is not until Hugo is elected pope, however, that he confronts his guilt. Farrell offers a wry, ironic, and unnerving portrayal of the complex political and religious conflicts that helped shape postwar Eastern Europe. |
