Book Description
Excerpt from An Argument to Prove That Death Is Not Obligatory on Christians The death of our author was supposed to afford an indubitable evidence of the unsoundness of the principles for which, in this work, and in other works of the same kind, published during his life time, he argued whereas, all that the fact proved was that he was prema ture in looking for the results that he so forcibly drew as conclusions from the premises which he laid down. He was, in Short, before his time, in advance of his age and generation the world was not ripe for his conclusions, and consequently they then produced no results save the very unpleasant ones of the persecution and intolerance through which he suffered. The age in which he lived was, in religious matters, one of intolerance and persecution. These were the sole principles of security against error that the Reformed Church had learnt from Mediaeval Romanism; and, when they appeared to be called for, they were exercised with a high hand. There can be no manner of doubt that had not the Church of Rome been thus trodden out in Ireland by penal laws, enacted in conformity with Roman practice, in the reigns of Elizabeth, of the Stuarts, and in those of the three Georges, the Roman Catholic Church would have survived as an established power in this country; and the Chantry Priest of St. Nicholas Within Dublin would have been more likely to be encouraging persecutors to hunt down fanatics of the type of John Asgill, than allowed himself to employ his endowments to secure for the whole world through his teaching, not only the benefit of the principles of literal immortality that Asgill laid hold of, but other supernatural privileges, * which action, in his position as a beneficed clergyman, in an exempt jurisdiction, he is now enabled, with a certain measure of ecclesiastical weight, to submit to the Church in general.

By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed

Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
The Catholic Church has in recent decades been associated with political efforts to eliminate the death penalty. It was not always so. This timely work reviews and explains the Catholic Tradition regarding the death penalty, demonstrating that it is not inherently evil and that it can be reserved as a just form of punishment in certain cases. Drawing upon a wealth of philosophical, scriptural, theological, and social scientific arguments, the authors explain the perennial teaching of the Church that capital punishment can in principle be legitimate—not only to protect society from immediate physical danger, but also to administer retributive justice and to deter capital crimes. The authors also show how some recent statements of Church leaders in opposition to the death penalty are prudential judgments rather than dogma. They reaffirm that Catholics may, in good conscience, disagree about the application of the death penalty. Some arguments against the death penalty falsely suggest that there has been a rupture in the Church's traditional teaching and thereby inadvertently cast doubt on the reliability of the Magisterium. Yet, as the authors demonstrate, the Church's traditional teaching is a safeguard to society, because the just use of the death penalty can be used to protect the lives of the innocent, inculcate a horror of murder, and affirm the dignity of human beings as free and rational creatures who must be held responsible for their actions. By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed challenges contemporary Catholics to engage with Scripture, Tradition, natural law, and the actual social scientific evidence in order to undertake a thoughtful analysis of the current debate about the death penalty.

The Faith of Jesus Christ
Author: Richard B. HaysPublisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802849571
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.
