Road rage threatens mental health and physical safety. People use cell phones in public places with blithe indifference for the tranquillity of others. Smokers, while fewer in numbers, still have a defiant look about them when they light up outside office buildings and are not especially careful where they blow their smoke. In these and similar incidents involving a lack of common courtesy or respect, individuals often turn to the legal system to resolve personal disputes. But is the law the best vehicle for enforcing good manners or behavior?George W. Jarecke and Nancy K. Plant explore this q

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one of the best know Christians of the twentieth century. His death at the hands of the Nazis is an extraordinary tale of courage and Christian discipleship. But Bonhoeffer was also a serious theologian. He wrote and thought with an unparalleled independence of mind, creativity and brilliance. He has been admired by sixties radicals, liberation theologians, liberals and conservatives: a theologian for all seasons. But it is as an ethicist that Bonhoeffer’s virtuosity is most evident. How Christians live their lives in the world is a constant theme of his work, from

Demonstrating the interconnection between his political and metaphysical writings, this book provides a point of entry into Hegel’s system of ideas.
