Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

The hidden in the visible : reflections on "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter
No full textBeatrix Potter to brytyjska pisarka i rysowniczka, której wkład w rozwój XX-wiecznej ilustrowanej literatury dziecięcej jest nie do podważenia. Jednak – jak udowadnia M. Daphne Kutzer (2003) w swojej pracy pt. Beatrix Potter: Writing in Code – Potter to także autorka, która mistrzowsko opanowała sztukę kamuflażu (obejmującą rozmaite etapy i formy jej twórczości). Idąc tropem konstatacji Kutzer, autorka artykułu przygląda się pierwszej publikacji Potter pt. Piotruś Królik (1902) pod kątem obecnych w niej buntowniczych – choć na pierwszy rzut oka niewidocznych – treści. Stara się dotrzeć do ukrytych przekazów symbolicznych, znajdujących się na przecięciu tekstu i rysunku (wykonywanego przez samą Potter), który nie jest wyłącznie ilustracją.Beatrix Potter is a British writer and illustrator whose contribution to the development of 20th-century illustrated children’s literature is unquestionable. However, as M. Daphne Kutzer (2003) demonstrates in her work Beatrix Potter: Writing in Code, Potter was also an author who mastered the art of camouflage (evident across various stages and forms of her creative output). Following Kutzer’s observations, the author of the article aims to examine Potter’s first publication, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), focusing on its rebellious – though at first glance invisible – content. The paper makes an attempt to explore the seemingly hidden symbolic messages that emerge at the intersection of text and illustration (created by Potter herself), which functions as more than mere accompaniment to the narrative

Beatrix Potter writing in code
No full text"In celebration of Peter Rabbit's centennial birthday, Beatrix Potter: Writing in Code presents the first full-length study of Potter's entire canon, examining all twenty-six tales in a biographical and cultural context. Close reading demonstrates how plots and imagery in the stories parallel Potter's life and socio-political concerns. Drawing extensively on the author's coded journal and private correspondence, M. Daphne Kutzer argues that Potter's picture books for children contain disguised references to her personal life, political viewpoints, and business acumen. In its novel approach, Beatrix Potter, Writing in Code peers through the veil of nostalgia that often clouds critical responses to the tales, thereby revealing previously overlooked complexities and subtleties. Attention to Potter's career and private reflections illuminates not only the surface meanings of her books but also their artfully coded social, political, and biographical commentary. Regarded in this light, they tell us as much about Potter and her world as they do about mischievous rabbits and mice."--BOOK JACKET
