'Here I want-at least, in part-to entertain,' writes David Bentley Hart in his introduction to In the Aftermath: Provocations and Laments . In accord with Hart's faculty for being at once erudite, profound, satirical, and just plain funny, these essays really are some kind of wonderful, no matter if you agree or take issue with the opinions he unabashedly puts forward. Example (from 'The Laughter of the Philosophers'): 'For the most part, the works of philosophers mirror the shapes of their lives.The leaden, caliginous bombast of Hegel's prose was a pure emanation of his grindingly pomp...

Condition: New

Brilliant scholar and wordsmith David Bentley Hart turns his mind and imagination to narrative fiction in this volume, The Devil and Pierre Gernet, a thought-provoking collection of four short stories and one novella. Anticipating questions about his shift in genre, Hart writes that -God is no more likely (and probably a good deal less likely) to be found in theology than in poetry and fiction.-
These stories -- -The Devil and Pierre Gernet, - -The House of Apollo, - -A Voice from the Emerald World, - -The Ivory Gate, - and -The Other- -- beguile and entrance the reader through Hart...

Despite the recent ferocious public debate about belief, the concept most central to the discussion--God--frequently remains vaguely and obscurely described. Are those engaged in these arguments even talking about the same thing? In a wide-ranging response to this confusion, esteemed scholar David Bentley Hart pursues a clarification of how the word "God" functions in the world's great theistic faiths.

Ranging broadly across Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Vedantic and Bhaktic Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism, Hart explores how these great intellectual traditions treat humanity's knowledge o...

The Doors of the Sea: Where Was God in the Tsunami?

Condition: New

As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God's power or God's nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God -- if such exists -- allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering. He calls both to recognize in the worst catastrophes not the providential will of God but rather the ongoing struggle betwee...

That All Shall Be Saved: Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation

Price: $26.00

Publisher: Yale University Press: September 2019

Seller ID: 180302

ISBN: 0300246226

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: New

The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation. But today, this view is no longer prevalent within Christian communities.

In this momentous book, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation. On the basis of the earliest Christian writings, theological tradition, scripture, and logic, Hart argues that if God is the good creator of all, h...

From one of our most celebrated writers on religion comes this fresh, bold, and unsettling new translation of the New Testament

David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of "etsi doctrina non daretur," "as if doctrine is not given." Reproducing the texts' often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced a pitilessly literal translation, one that captures the texts' impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening readers to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers.

Condition: New

The recent bestselling broadsides of the 'new atheists'-e.g. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens, even literary figures like Philip Pullman and Dan Brown-cause our author to long for Old Atheists (or if not atheist, certainly anti-Christian cousins), such as Celsus, Diderot, Voltaire, Hume, Gibbon, and Nietzsche, all of whom Hart evokes as at least intellectually respectable. So Hart only spends a chapter or two dismissing the arguments of Dawkins and Co. His attentions are much more drawn to that which is expressed in the subtitle of this magnificent book: the...

''Is the Beauty to whose persuasive power the Christian rhetoric of evangelism inevitably appeals, and upon which it depends, theologically defensible?'' Within Hart's opening question, all the essential elements of this ''essay'' are announced and the seeds of an answer contained: Beauty. Taking his cues from von Balthasar (''it would be quite appropriate were this essay read as a kind of extended marginalium on some page of Balthasar's work'') Hart discusses truth and goodness in terms of beauty, the transcendental that ''crosses boundaries'' and which ''has always been the most restless upo...

The Justification Of The Good: An Essay On Moral Philosophy

By: VLADIMIR SERGEYEVICH SOLOVYOV, BORIS JAKIM, DAVID BENTLEY (FWD) HART

Price: $40.00

Seller ID: 20070607114796

ISBN: 0802828639

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Though Solovyov once confessed in a letter ''his inability to write a system of ethics in abstraction from theological commitments,'' The Justification of the Good is very nearly such a system. One of Solovyov's latest and most mature works, this extensive essay on moral philosophy was undertaken between 1894-97 and completed just three years before Solovyov's death in 1900. In keeping with his prodigious writings on the nature of Sophia, Solovyov believed that any ethics worthy of Christian culture ought to be total in nature, serving the entire cosmos through human action and thereby ...
