Through an extensive comparison of these texts, Kim concludes that the degree to which one internalizes and actualizes the teachings of their religious text increases one's capacity for moral agency, and that this agency must be conceived as dynamic rather than static.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e World Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567719596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567719591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"World Kim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46974498144511,"sku":"9780567719591","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e17f19ab-f59d-4bd9-89f9-55716f08915f.jpg?v=1750875209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/redescribing-moral-agency-in-sirach-world-kim-9780567719591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
