The idea was appropriated by early Christian theologians from non-Christian philosophy and played a pivotal role in the development of Christian thought. Andrew Radde-Gallwitz charts the progress of the idea of divine simplicity from the second through the fourth centuries, with particular attention to Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa, two of the most subtle writers on this topic, both instrumental in the construction of the TrinitarOxford early Christian studies.GodSimplicityElectronic books.GodSimplicity.231.4Radde-Gallwitz Andrew473573MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465135803321Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and the transformation of divine simplicity249493UNINA02973oam 2200661I 450 991045288450332120200520144314.00-203-08401-21-283-87154-81-136-18889-410.4324/9780203084014 (CKB)2550000000709649(EBL)1097821(OCoLC)823388793(SSID)ssj0000831401(PQKBManifestationID)12407936(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000831401(PQKBWorkID)10873618(PQKB)10414246(MiAaPQ)EBC1097821(Au-PeEL)EBL1097821(CaPaEBR)ebr10635095(CaONFJC)MIL418404(OCoLC)822565757(EXLCZ)99255000000070964920180706d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe no-growth imperative creating sustainable communities under ecological limits to growth /Gabor ZovanyiLondon ;New York, N.Y. :Earthscan from Routledge,2013.1 online resource (249 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-415-63015-0 0-415-63014-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Requiem for the growth imperative -- The American community as a growth machine -- Rationales and strategies for stopping growth in America's communities -- The no-growth path to sustainability -- Envisioning no-growth communities -- Epilogue: ten difficult personal actions needed to save the world -- Notes -- Selected bibliography.More than two decades of mounting evidence confirms that the existing scale of the human enterprise has surpassed global ecological limits to growth. Based on such limits, The No-Growth Imperative discounts current efforts to maintain growth through eco-efficiency initiatives and smart-growth programs, and argues that growth is inherently unsustainable and that the true nature of the challenge confronting us now is one of replacing the current growth imperative with a no-growth imperative.
