Download or read book A Christian Manifesto for the Twenty-First Century written by D. Carlton O'Rork and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much like the original Manifesto by Francis Schaeffer, Dr. O'Rork has given a powerful reminder of the fact that Biblical truth is still in the cross-hairs of today's secular culture. He makes a loud and clear call to Christians to spark a new Reformation both in their hearts and in the world. This book is a call back to true Biblical roots of the Christian faith and to the values which built America making her strong and favored by God. Dr. O'Rork is a late-comer to TRUE faith, having been converted at age 47. This only adds to his zeal to make up for years spent in thoughtless sin and wasted in popular science and technology. He resides in a small quiet community in the Mid-Atlantic states where he enjoys a secluded life of devoted study and teaching of the Word of God.

Book Synopsis The 21st Century Disciple: a Manifesto for Change by : Rebekah Isaac
Download or read book The 21st Century Disciple: a Manifesto for Change written by Rebekah Isaac and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the average observer, our world has been turned upside down during the past decade. Globally, major economic, social and political institutions are crumbling and on the brink of collapse. Health care institutions, particularly in the United States, are straining under the weight of a host of chronic and complex illnesses. Man-made and natural disasters such as wars, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and tsunamis have become an increasingly more frequent occurrence. Religious institutions that in the past served as the backbone of society and offered viable spiritual solutions to these ills are themselves facing issues they have never before experienced, and are baffled as to how they should respond.In her 92-page Manifesto for Change, Rebekah Isaac states unequivocally that all of the problems plaguing our world have an underlying spiritual cause and it will be impossible to achieve a sustainable solution to any of them unless we first remedy the spiritual condition. Acknowledging a major principle of physics--that everything is energy (including problems)--she states that individually and collectively, our spiritual energy is at its lowest, and thus problems that otherwise might be non-existent or easily solved now seem impossible to remedy. She offers a concise, comprehensive biblical solution to this dilemma--a roadmap by which any person can achieve the highest form of spiritual energy. Spiritual energy equals spiritual power. New Age gurus have long told us that we cannot solve a problem by remaining at the same level of spirituality at which the problem was created. We must move to higher spiritual ground. It is equivalent to climbing up a mountain so that you can see clearly the road ahead. While most of the spiritual and moral principles contained in the Bible have become universal, hers is not an ecumenical solution. She speaks of a living Judeo-Christian God--a God who has a God Spirit or Holy Spirit just as we have a human spirit, came to live on earth in the physical incarnation of Jesus, resurrected bodily from the dead after he was crucified and buried, now lives in a glorified bodily form, and will soon return to establish his kingdom. But Christians beware, because this is not your customary Christian message. With the deftness of a skilled surgeon, the author slices away at the man-made religious doctrines and traditions of modern Christianity, and presents a core biblical philosophy of spirituality and discipleship that embraces every culture, religion and spiritual practice.Though the book references the need for repentance or a reversal in our thinking and way of being, it is not a fear-inducing "hell fire and brimstone" message. On the contrary, it is an exposition of God's unfathomable love for humanity. As one New York City Anglican priest recently noted, the need for repentance and a turning away from evil and darkness is more akin to a beautiful sunflower turning its face toward the sunlight. It knows that the light is the only source of life. The tiny acorn buried underneath layers of dirt also knows the source of true life. So it dies to its old life as an acorn and makes a relentless trek upward toward the sunlight. Neither worms, stones, nor the dead roots of former trees can block its upward march. Coming out of the earth's darkness offers its only hope of becoming an oak tree. The author challenges that we also are called to die to our old self and come out of darkness into God's eternal light.There are promises attached to this call for repentance. Not only is there the promise of a more beautiful and just world, but also of an increase in spiritual power that she suggests would rival the miracles and instant healings that were commonplace in the first century of Christianity. This promise is for anyone who dares to put the New Testament to the test. Given the condition of our world, perhaps we have nothing to lose by taking this challenge.
Book Synopsis The Christian Manifesto by : Alistair Begg
Download or read book The Christian Manifesto written by Alistair Begg and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exhorts Christians from Luke 6 to live a countercultural life and experience true blessing. What does genuine Christian living look like in the 21st century, and how can we be motivated to live that way? The answer comes from Jesus’ sermon in Luke 6 (sometimes known as the Sermon on the Plain), which starts, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God and goes on to lay out God’s vision statement for the Christian life. It is a manifesto that has nothing to do with politics, culture or personality, but rather God’s intentions for his people. Renowned Bible teacher Begg unpacks this sermon, exhorting Christians to live a radically different life that upends the world's values and philosophies. It's a lifestyle that is counterintuitive and countercultural, yet one that God blesses with true meaning and impact. As we look at the kindness and compassion of Jesus and ask for the Holy Spirit’s help, we’ll grow in both the motivation and the ability to obey Jesus’ teaching and experience the blessing that comes from that. This compelling book will remind you of God's grace and what it means to follow him, helping you discover the ultimate blessing that is found in him.
Book Synopsis Social Catholicism for the Twenty-First Century?--Volume 1 by : William F. Murphy
Download or read book Social Catholicism for the Twenty-First Century?--Volume 1 written by William F. Murphy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-12 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first of two volumes introduces the tradition of social Catholicism, not only in its earlier realizations, but regarding how a contemporary renewal might address the crisis in which constitutional democracies and the postwar liberal order are under assault by populist and even neo-fascist movements that could soon usher in a frighteningly dark future unless a broad movement in defense of constitutional democracy quickly arises. In this context, some of the most influential voices among American Catholics are focused on criticizing “liberal democracy,” on advocating a “postliberal order” and the establishment of a Catholic “integralist” state, or on insisting that abortion should be the primary sociopolitical concern for Catholics, treating these threats to democracy as largely irrelevant. This volume shows the rich tradition of social Catholicism, and how the Social Doctrine of the Church came to appreciate the key tenets of constitutional democracy. As Pope Benedict XVI wrote, this social doctrine leads us to “take a stand for the common good,” to take the “institutional” or “political path of charity,” to be “solicitous for” the “institutions that give structure to the life of society, juridically, civilly, politically and culturally.” It engages some of the most influential contemporary Catholic thinkers and argues that they too should recognize the grave threats facing the human family and join in working to defend and renew our constitutional democracy.
Book Synopsis Globalization and Labour in the Twenty-First Century by : Verity Burgmann
Download or read book Globalization and Labour in the Twenty-First Century written by Verity Burgmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license.Globalization has adversely affected working-class organization and mobilization, increasing inequality by redistribution upwards from labour to capital. However, workers around the world are challenging their increased exploitation by globalizing corporations. In developed countries, many unions are transforming themselves to confront employer power in ways more appropriate to contemporary circumstances; in developing countries, militant new labour movements are emerging. Drawing upon insights in anti-determinist Marxian perspectives, Verity Burgmann shows how working-class resistance is not futile, as protagonists of globalization often claim. She identifies eight characteristics of globalization harmful to workers and describes and analyses how they have responded collectively to these problems since 1990 and especially this century. With case studies from around the world, including Greece since 2008, she pays particular attention to new types of labour movement organization and mobilization that are not simply defensive reactions but are offensive and innovative responses that compel corporations or political institutions to change. Aging and less agile manifestations of the labour movement decline while new expressions of working-class organization and mobilization arise to better battle with corporate globalization. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of labour studies, globalization, political economy, Marxism and sociology of work.
Book Synopsis New Confucianism in Twenty-First Century China by : Jesus Sole-Farras
Download or read book New Confucianism in Twenty-First Century China written by Jesus Sole-Farras and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Confucian thought, which was the ideological underpinning of traditional, imperial China, is being developed and refined into a New Confucianism relevant for the twenty-first century. It traces the development of Confucian thought, examines significant new texts, and shows how New Confucianism relates to various spheres of life, how it informs views on key philosophical issues, and how it affects personal conduct. Starting by exploring the philosophical and ideological principles of New Confucianism, the book goes on to explain how New Confucianism is a collective process of continuous creation and recreation, an incessant and evolving discourse. It argues that New Confucianism, unlike its earlier manifestation, is more accommodating of a plurality of ideologies in the world; and that understanding Confucianism and how it is developing is essential for understanding contemporary China.
Download or read book Jesus Manifesto written by Leonard Sweet and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2010-05-30 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Manifesto presents a fresh unveiling of Jesus, seeking to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world—and a church—that has lost sight of Him. Christians have made the gospel about so many things—things other than Christ. Religious concepts, ideas, doctrines, strategies, and methods that begin to eclipse the beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. We know a lot about our Lord, but we don't know Him very well. We know a lot about trying to be like Jesus, but very little about living by His indwelling life. Jesus Manifesto provides clarity on the most important points of our faith. It is a prophetic call to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world and church that has lost sight of Him. This manifesto emphasizes ten crucial areas of restoring the supremacy of Jesus Christ, noting: Christians don’t follow Christianity; they follow Christ Christians don't proclaim themselves; they proclaim Christ Christians don’t point people to core values; they point people to the Cross Christians don't preach about Christ; they preach Christ Read this book to see your Lord like you've never seen Him before and restore the sovereignty of Jesus in your life.
Book Synopsis Global Manifestos for the Twenty-First Century by : Nicol A. Barria-Asenjo
Download or read book Global Manifestos for the Twenty-First Century written by Nicol A. Barria-Asenjo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together over forty original short essays, some academic, others more creative in nature, this collection responds to the political, historical, social, and economic situation in which we find ourselves today. The editors argue that we are living in a repetition that must be stopped – if our goal is that the signifier "humanity" remains in the following centuries, the time has come to work in the present. The objective is not to deliver precise or quick answers, but to gather varied voices from different continents, bringing together different languages, ideas, practices, theories, thoughts, and desires. In the words of Yanis Varoufakis, "urging us to become agents of a future that ends unnecessary mass suffering and inspire humanity to realise its potential for authentic freedom." To leave the concept of a manifesto open, the contradictory aspects of the chapters are a subject of the manifesto itself. This is a manifesto of contradictions that reflects our reality as well as our struggles and our aspirations. This unique anthology will appeal to students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences interested in critical theory and social change.
Book Synopsis Liberating Tradition (RenewedMinds) by : Kristina LaCelle-Peterson
Download or read book Liberating Tradition (RenewedMinds) written by Kristina LaCelle-Peterson and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kristina LaCelle-Peterson seeks both to affirm the central place of Scripture in the Christian life and to highlight the liberating nature of the gospel for both men and women. To do this the author considers the biblical ideal for human beings and then proceeds to offer a biblical foundation for each of the topics under discussion--identity, body image, personal relationships, marriage, church life, and language for God. Along the way she examines the cultural nature of gender roles and the ways in which they have become entangled with ecclesial expectations. This book will help women better appreciate themselves as women, gain a better understanding of their value in God's eyes, and recognize their potential for meaningful engagement in a variety of relationships and vocational callings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bibles of the Far Right is about a far-right worldview that has taken hold in contemporary Europe. It focuses on the role Bibles have come to play in this worldview.

This study proposes new ways to understand political Bible-use today in order to respond to violence inspired by biblical texts.

Book Synopsis Conservative Christian Politics in Russia and the United States by : John Anderson
Download or read book Conservative Christian Politics in Russia and the United States written by John Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the politics of conservative Christian churches and social movements in Russia and the United States, focusing on their similar concerns but very different modes of political engagement. Whilst secularisation continues to chip away at religious adherence and practice in Europe, religion is often, quite rightly, seen as an influential force in the politics of the United States, and, more questionably, as a significant influence in contemporary Russia. This book looks at the broad social movement making up the US Christian Right and the profoundly hierarchical leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church as socially conservative actors, and some of the ways they have engaged in contemporary politics. Both are seeking to halt the perceived drift towards a more secular political order; both face significant challenges in handling the consequences of secularism, pluralism and liberal individualism; and both believe that their nations can only be great if they remain true to their religious heritage. In exploring their experience, the book focuses on shared and different elements in their diagnosis of what is wrong with their societies and how this affects their policy intervention over issues such as religious and ethnic belonging, sexual orientation and education. Drawing on political, sociological and religious studies, this work will be a useful reference for students and scholars of religion and politics, Russian politics and American politics.
