The Christian Virtues in Medical Practice

The Christian Virtues in Medical Practice

Edmund D. Pellegrino; David C. Thomasma

Georgetown University Press
1996
sidottu
Christian health care professionals in our secular and pluralistic society often face uncertainty about the place religious faith holds in today's medical practice. Through an examination of a virtue-based ethics, this book proposes a theological view of medical ethics that helps the Christian physician reconcile faith, reason, and professional duty. Edmund D. Pellegrino and David C. Thomasma trace the history of virtue in moral thought, and they examine current debate about a virtue ethic's place in contemporary bioethics. Their proposal balances theological ethics, based on the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, with contemporary medical ethics, based on the principles of beneficence, justice, and autonomy. The result is a theory of clinical ethics that centers on the virtue of charity and is manifest in practical moral decisions. Using Christian bioethical principles, the authors address today's divisive issues in medicine. For health care providers and all those involved in the fields of ethics and religion, this volume shows how faith and reason can combine to create the best possible healing relationship between health care professional and patient.

A Critique of Silviculture

A Critique of Silviculture

Klaus J. Puettmann; K. David Coates; Christian C. Messier

Island Press
2008
nidottu
New ideas in ecology have implications for managing forest ecosystems. The discipline of silviculture is at a crossroads. Silviculturists are under increasing pressure to develop practices that sustain the full function and dynamics of forested ecosystems and maintain ecosystem diversity and resilience while still providing needed wood products. "A Critique of Silviculture" offers a penetrating look at the current state of the field and provides suggestions for its future development.The book includes an overview of the historical developments of silvicultural techniques and describes how these developments are best understood in their contemporary philosophical, social, and ecological contexts. It also explains how the traditional strengths of silviculture are becoming limitations as society demands a varied set of benefits from forests and as we learn more about the importance of diversity on ecosystem functions and processes.The authors go on to explain how other fields, specifically ecology and complexity science, have developed in attempts to understand the diversity of nature and the variability and heterogeneity of ecosystems. The authors suggest that ideas and approaches from these fields could offer a road map to a new philosophical and practical approach that endorses managing forests as complex adaptive systems."A Critique of Silviculture" bridges a gap between silviculture and ecology that has long hindered the adoption of new ideas. It breaks the mold of disciplinary thinking by directly linking new ideas and findings in ecology and complexity science to the field of silviculture. This is a critically important book that is essential reading for anyone involved with forest ecology, forestry, silviculture, or the management of forested ecosystems.

The Christian Citizen: Faith Engaging Political Life

The Christian Citizen: Faith Engaging Political Life

David C. Innes

Great Christian Books
2020
nidottu
The world we have known has fragmented and fallen into confusion and bitter partisan rancor. Trust in our major institutions of government, public safety, media, education, and even science has shattered. With confidence in God's sovereign goodness, yet discouraged over the sustained assaults on the country's moral and spiritual foundations and on religious liberties, Christians are perplexed over how to navigate their political options. In The Christian Citizen, David C. Innes addresses issues from immigration and global security to the police wars and the continuing fallout of the sexual revolution. His academic and pastoral experience position him to provide rare insight for citizens making wise political judgments and living faithful Christian lives in a world increasingly hostile to the Christian life and healthy human community.

We never know how well any of us are prepared to make life and death decisions, but that is exactly what Margaret and David faced in 2003. After their third son, Christian, was born, it was immediately apparent that there was something wrong. When he was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, David and Margaret were given three choices: take him home and allow him to be with his family as he passed away, see if he could become a candidate to receive a heart transplant, or have Christian undergo a series of surgeries that would effectively replumb his circulatory system. This is the story of that decision and many others made during Christian's first year of life as told through Margaret's personal journal and David's regular updates to friends and family.

The Christian's Prayer Book

The Christian's Prayer Book

David C Jantjies

WestBow Press
2019
pokkari
In the beginning man had to be in a very distinct relationship with God in order to have passage to his heart. However, this would dramatically change when Jesus came to earth. Early in his ministry, Jesus realized man's inability to pray. And thus, Jesus taught his followers to pray the Lord's Prayer as recorded in Matthew 6: 9-13. It is evident that Jesus was teaching his followers that his Father does not expect lengthy supplications. We simply had to enter in prayer giving God glory, soliciting the things we need, begging for forgiveness, petitioning a way around evil, and finally pouring out our adulations on God in all his majesty. David Christian Jantjies, in this epic work, digs a little deeper and uncovers the untapped treasures of the much-neglected individualized focused prayer. The time has now come to approach the throne of God with focused prayers-less detailed, accentuated prayer-worship of the Living God, themed petitions, and crisp thanksgiving for what God has done and is still doing. It further preaches for a more frequent interaction with God. The Christian's Prayer Book - Focused Prayers 101 is a glorious work. Readers will be able to identify with most of these prayers. The spectrum is wide. The glorification of God is immense. The petitions are daily contentions. The praise-giving to God is huge. Each prayer is supported by potent quotations. However, do not miss the teachings on what prayer is, where to pray, when to pray, and how to pray.

Christian Armor

pokkari
The Rosary signifies prayer--a form of daily prayer and meditation for millions of Roman Catholics across the world--and has been for centuries. The Rosary unites the followers of Christ as one family in a common faith, baptism, and Lord. The power of the Rosary stems not only from the intercession of the Mother of our Savior, but each of the twenty mysteries finds its source in the Bible. The truth of the word of God teaches us not only that the Father sent his Son to save us from our sins so we may have eternal life, but also how we live our communion with Christ through our daily choices. The Rosary and the Bible lead us to Jesus Christ; the Scriptures point to Jesus, and Jesus is at the very center of the Rosary. And so, the Rosary and the Bible provide us with the armor we need to help us in combat: against Satan's deceptions, lies, and attacks. To know the truth, we need the word of God, and to live in truth Jesus gives us his mother at the cross, "This is your mother." We need the grace of God, Mary's intercession, and the word of God in spiritual combat.

Diary of a Christian Soldier

Diary of a Christian Soldier

David C. Rankin

Cambridge University Press
2003
sidottu
This book offers a meticulous reconstruction of the life of Rufus Kinsley - an ordinary New England soldier who during the Civil War became an officer in one of the nations’s first and most famous black regiments - and an expertly edited transcription of Kinsley’s hitherto unpublished wartime diary. Kinsley’s diary sheds light on a long neglected theater of the war - the battle for the bayou country of southwestern Louisiana - and it illuminates the workaday routines of black and white soldiers stationed behind Union lines but thoroughly immersed in the unprecedented improvisations that accompanied the social revolution that was emancipation. Kinsley’s perspective is that of a too often neglected type: the absolutely dedicated evangelical abolitionist soldier who believed that the war and its consequences were divine retribution for the sin of slavery. The introductory biography places Kinsley’s civil war experience in the context of his life and his times.
