Instead, through the ministry of every part of the body, the whole church will mature in Christ. Paul David Tripp helps us discover where change is needed in our own lives and the lives of others. Following the example of Jesus, Tripp reveals how to get to know people and how to lovingly speak truth to them. - Back cover.\n\nPublished in: philipsburg\n\nPhysical description: xiii, 360 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Interpreting John Calvin \/ Ford Lewis Battles ; edited by Robert Benedetto ; with introductory essays by I.

Andrew Dell'Olio and Caroline Simon have provided a book that begs to be taught and invites reflection not just about moral theory but about our moral lives.\"--Allen Verhey, Duke Divinity School\" \"\"This is an excellent introductory ethics reader. Selections are wisely chosen with attention paid to both theoretical and applied ethics, classical and contemporary authors, Eastern and Western traditions, and religious and nonreligious perspectives. The well-written introductions to the selections and the helpful study questions will prove useful to both student and instructor.\"--Kelly Clark, Calvin College\" \"As the perfect companion to introduction to ethics courses, Dell'Olio and Simon's reader includes the most influential ethical theories without overwhelming the beginning student. It contains a variety of readings encompassing contemporary and classic philosophers, male and female perspectives of both Western and non-Western ethical traditions, and readings in both theoretical and applied ethics. Introduction to ethics comprises thirty-seven essays divided into nine chapters. The first chapter introduces the nature of moral theory with a brief account of the different moral theories that will follow in the text. Chapters 2 through 8 are each devoted to a particular moral theory with readings that represent the position and those who challenge it, accompanied by an application of the theory to a particular moral problem. Finally, chapter 9 offers readings in practical guidance on \"living a good life.\" Each chapter has a brief introduction that provides an overview of the selection with pointers on what to note as the selection is read and concludes with a series of thought-provoking study questions and a list of further readings, making it easier for students to understand and appreciate their reading.\"--Jacket.\n\nPublished in: Lanham, Md.\n\nPhysical description: xii, 465 pages ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":"Elements of philosophy","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Iron John : a book about men \/ Robert Bly.","author":"Bly, R.","isbn":"0201517205","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Addison-Wesley"},"datePublished":"1990","inLanguage":"English","description":"Preface -- 1.
