No full textJohn Simpson reports that Mr. McKeirnan [sic] told him that he would not part with the slaves in question--Peter Still’s family members--for less than 6,000 dollars (as the two boys alone allegedly could be sold for 3,000 dollars each and McKiernan reportedly spent more than 1,000 dollars retrieving the family members when they ran away); notes that McKiernan will not deliver the slaves to Cincinnati, if the funds are paid, but only release them locally; and states that he (Simpson) stands ready to advance the total amount necessary for the transaction, and would then draw on the recipient, Morris L.

Peter\u27s Motive for Quoting Proverbs 11:31 as an Encouragement to Be Righteous
No full textProverbs 11:31 is an Old Testament passage of wisdom quoted by Peter in 1 Peter 4:18. Based on the literature search, there are two interpretations related to this intertextual use of Scripture, namely talking about retribution or divine justice and moral responsibility. But it was found that previous studies did not mention anything about Peter\u27s motive in quoting this wisdom literature narrative. Therefore, this study aims to specifically examine Peter\u27s motives in quoting this Old Testament passage. There are strong implications of the Wisdom literature exhortations quoted by Peter as an encouragement to the early church to choose to live as righteous people. Therefore, this research used qualitative methods with a sub-interpretive design, specifically wisdom literature hermeneutics and literature study. This article finds that Peter\u27s motivation for encouraging the believers was that they should never envy the oppressors and persecutors because those who reject the gospel will suffer more than anything Christians have to face in this life. God is just, and His judgment will apply to everyone, including the wicked. Peter\u27s motive for quoting the Old Testament also serves as a theological and practical guide for believers, enabling them to live in a way that reflects their faith and trust in God\u27s final judgment and deliverance
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
