The Call to Happiness

Eudaimonism in English Puritan Thought

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In The Call to Happiness, Nathaniel A. Warne examines Christian eudaimonism within the writings of sixteenth and seventeenth century English Puritans, arguing that the idea of divine callings (vocations) as a command from God can sit comfortably alongside eudaimonism without rendering the Puritans as "divine command theorists."
