Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "John Hughes," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have John Hughes in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with John Hughes when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name John Hughes, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included.

Best look at the Reformation available . . .
. . . if only for the brilliant concept of "technical orthodoxy."But, thankfully, there's a whole lot more going on here.

For one thing, the genesis of this book is utterly fascinating.John Jay Hughes made history as the first Anglican priest to be received as a Catholic priest without being reordained (he was conditionally ordained, which is a rite administered to those for whom the validity of their orders is questionable, but not regarded as essentially defective).This book is an apology for his view that the Anglican understanding of priesthood is in continuity with Catholic views (although one wonders what he might make of the chaos in the Anglican Communion following the consecration of Gene Robinson).

What's fascinating about the book, beyond what has to be the most thorough investigation of the issues of the validity of Anglican orders, is, what it uncovers about issues surrounding the reformation, especially regarding questions of "the Sacrifice of the Mass."That's where the concept of technical orthodoxy comes in.Hughes, over against the standard Catholic accounting of the late Medieval Church, admits there were some rather severe problems with the Church's self-understanding.These had to do primarily with, one might say, degraded, although not heretical, understandings about the Mass.He uses the term "technical orthodoxy" to describe these views.What he means is that although the Church did not slip into heresy, it only with barely minimal adequacy preserved proper understandings.The brilliance of this term is that it grants that while Catholic self-understandings had become very problematic they were not so degraded as to compromise the indefectibility of the Church.Additionally, it enables one to see that even though the Reformation's theological challenges to Catholic understandings arose from grave problems within the Medieval Church, the answers provided by the Reformers were not necessarily satisfactory.

Indeed, the Catholic Church was unable to adequately answer the challenge of the Reformation's new theological views (esp. regarding issues such as how the Mass is a sacrifice and the nature of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, but also issues about justification) for over four hundred years.In fact, the best Catholic theologians of the time were reduced to essentially saying something along these lines:"You're wrong, because what you say doesn't accord with what we have received."Thus, they preserved a proper understanding even as they were incapable of adequately explaining it.It took the recovery of the Mass in the vernacular, the reappropriation of the idea of Anamnesis, and a deeper appreciation of the role of the entire company of the faithful in the action of the Mass, brilliantly made manifest in the Vatican II documents, in subsequent proclamations by Paul VI and John Paul II, and in the actual vernacular liturgies themselves, for the Catholic Church to finally answer the challenges presented by the new theology of the Reformation.

Thus, the scope of the book is much larger than the mere question of the validity of Anglican orders, and the questions it raises and the answers it gives are quite far-reaching.On a personal note, this book, which I have owned for nearly thirty years, and which I finally thoroughly read and digested just this past summer, was a major factor in the completion of my decades-long pilgrimage from Protestantism to Catholicism.It, along with the works of N. T. Wright and Ben Meyer, provided the framework for me to grasp the theological essentials of the Catholic faith.For that, I am profoundly grateful. ... Read more
