Dr. Charles Henderson’s newly released News Commentary Essays Book II: Poignant Responses to Fourth Estate Rancor is a vivid collection of sociopolitical writings. The years 2014 to 2015 were significant in American history because they were filled with news stories about epic and sometimes controversial events. The presidential campaign began to slowly heat up and the news media reporters were caught flat-footed when two inexperienced candidates, Donald Trump and Ben Carson, surprisingly, jumped into the lead. The military conflict in the Middle East shifted to Syria, causing the op-ed foreign policy writers to berate President Obama for hesitating to enter into a third insurgency war. And last but not least, the Supreme Court finally heard arguments on the constitutionality of overturning state bans on same sex marriage. That ruling, both epic and controversial, is expected to lead to the challenging of religious liberty. Henderson’s Book II is an entertaining and insightful volume of over four hundred essays touching on all manner of complex political policies and social issues. It contains eighteen different topics arranged in chapters, alphabetically, from “Drones” to “Women in the Military,” encompassing other chapters involving controversial subjects such as homosexuality, morality, race, and social issues. Pursuit of the unbiased truth is the hallmark of this book’s narratives. Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Henderson’s new book is a grippingly eloquent and mind- broadening work of educated opinion, with many of the essays written in response to the rather conservative op-ed pieces in the liberally inclined Washington Post. In his writings, Henderson offers a rare mind of clarity along with a serene strength of conviction, secure in his foundation in God’s Word amid the raging din of the modern world’s political drama and ethical battlefields.

A compelling analysis tying the work of Aquinas to contemporary literature on virtue Despite heightened attention to virtue, contemporary philosophical and theological literature has failed to offer detailed analysis of how people attain and grow in the good habits we know as the virtues. Though popular literature provides instruction on attaining and growing in virtue, it lacks careful scholarly analysis of what exactly these good habits are in which we grow. Growing in Virtue is the only comprehensive account of growth in virtue in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. Mattison offers a robust account of habits, including what habits are, why they are needed, and what they supply once possessed. He draws on Aquinas to carefully delineate the commonalities and differences between natural (acquired) virtues and graced (infused) virtues. Along the way, Mattison discusses the distinction between disposition and habit; the role of “custom” in virtue formation; the nature of virtuous passions; the distinct contribution of the gifts of the Holy Spirit to graced life; explanations for persistent activity after the loss of virtue; and the possibility of coexistence of the infused and acquired virtues in the same person. For readers interested in virtue and morality from a philosophical perspective and scholars of theological ethics and moral theology in particular, Mattison offers compelling arguments from the work of Aquinas explicitly connected to contemporary scholarship in philosophical virtue ethics.

This collection presents and analyzes inquest records that tell the stories of ordinary Korean people under the Choson court (1392-1910). Extending the study of this period, usually limited to elites, into the realm of everyday life, each inquest record includes a detailed postmortem examination and features testimony from everyone directly or indirectly related to the incident. The result is an amazingly vivid, colloquial account of the vibrant, multifaceted sociocultural and legal culture of early modern Korea.

This book analyses enrichment law and its development and underpinning in social culture within three geographical regions: the United States, western members of the European Union and the late Ottoman Empire. These regions correspond, though imperfectly, with three different legal traditions: the American, continental and Islamic traditions. The book argues that we should understand law as a mimetic artefact. In so doing, it explains how typical patterns and exemplary articulations of wrongful enrichment law capture and reiterate vocal cultural themes found in the respective regions. The book identifies remarkable affinities between poetic tendencies, structures and default dispositions of wrongful enrichment law and cultural world views. It offers bold accounts of each region's law and culture providing fertile grounds for external and comparative elucidations of the legal doctrine.
