Book Synopsis Awakening to the Philosophy of Jesus by : Jean Maalouf
Download or read book Awakening to the Philosophy of Jesus written by Jean Maalouf and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-05-22 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greatest Philosopher Who Ever Lived Obviously, Jesus did not teach at Pontifical Gregorian University or at Harvard or at Paris-Sorbonne or at Georgetown or at Oxford or at Salamanca or at any other university. He did not write some kind of a Platonist Republic, or an Aristotelian Ethics or Logic, or a Kantian Critique of Pure Reason, or a Hegelian Phenomenology of Spirit, or a Cartesian Discourse on the Method, or a Kierkegaardian Either/Or. He never quoted any philosopher from any part of the world and any culture. Yet, he surpassed them all. His philosophy was the way to the fullness of life, as he clearly indicated, “I came that they might have life and have it to the full.” This fullness of life is what this book all about. It is an invitation to rediscover, hit it off with, and stick with the Jesus of the Gospel—the divine guide for the higher consciousness, the master instructor for the fullness of life curriculum, and the greatest philosopher who ever lived for a meaningful and truly worthy life.

Download or read book The Inner Reality written by Paul Brunton and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When actor Christopher Reeve was asked in a BBC interview which book he would want if stranded on a desert island, he replied, "The Inner Reality by the philosopher Paul Brunton." A provocative and compelling work, The Inner Reality is an essential guide for spiritual seekers. First published in the 1930s, this remarkable book interweaves the teachings of two great religious figures: Jesus and Krishna. Identifying a common current running through both Christianity and Hinduism, Paul Brunton argues that an "inner reality" or "kingdom of heaven" can be found within each of us. Defining religion as simply the practice of binding oneself with divinity, he encourages readers to embark on the quest for self-knowledge and spiritual communion through a commitment to the contemplative path. With his profound interpretations of the world's sacred texts, from the Gospel of St. John to the Bhagavad Gita, Brunton bridges East and West to guide the reader into the living heart of these ancient traditions. This new edition has been updated to incorporate the author's final revisions and includes a foreword by the Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation. From the Trade Paperback edition.
Book Synopsis The Gnostic Gospels by : Elaine Pagels
Download or read book The Gnostic Gospels written by Elaine Pagels and published by Random House. This book was released on 2004-06-29 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time The Gnostic Gospels is a landmark study of the long-buried roots of Christianity, a work of luminous scholarship and wide popular appeal. First published in 1979 to critical acclaim, winning the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Gnostic Gospels has continued to grow in reputation and influence over the past two decades. It is now widely recognized as one of the most brilliant and accessible histories of early Christian spirituality published in our time. In 1945 an Egyptian peasant unearthed what proved to be the Gnostic Gospels, thirteen papyrus volumes that expounded a radically different view of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from that of the New Testament. In this spellbinding book, renowned religious scholar Elaine Pagels elucidates the mysteries and meanings of these sacred texts both in the world of the first Christians and in the context of Christianity today. With insight and passion, Pagels explores a remarkable range of recently discovered gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, to show how a variety of “Christianities” emerged at a time of extraordinary spiritual upheaval. Some Christians questioned the need for clergy and church doctrine, and taught that the divine could be discovered through spiritual search. Many others, like Buddhists and Hindus, sought enlightenment—and access to God—within. Such explorations raised questions: Was the resurrection to be understood symbolically and not literally? Was God to be envisioned only in masculine form, or feminine as well? Was martyrdom a necessary—or worthy—expression of faith? These early Christians dared to ask questions that orthodox Christians later suppressed—and their explorations led to profoundly different visions of Jesus and his message. Brilliant, provocative, and stunning in its implications, The Gnostic Gospels is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith.
Book Synopsis Awakening the Remnant by : Jonathan Mukwiri
Download or read book Awakening the Remnant written by Jonathan Mukwiri and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you perplexed by the direction the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its members are taking on principles that the church has upheld for years? Jonathan Mukwiri feels that many members of the remnant church are shifting their position on various topics in these last days to closely mirror worldviews and philosophies. Awakening the Remnant is a call to Seventh-day Adventists to return to the truth in such areas as dress, worship, diet, and obedience to the law as clearly stated in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy. As the remnant church, Seventh-day Adventists have the knowledge, but its members must hold true to the Word of God if they are to stand until Jesus' Second Coming. Are you ready for Christ's soon return? Be prepared by studying the Bible and the inspired writings of Ellen G. White. This book quotes extensively from both in an effort to steer members of the remnant church back on the straight and narrow way of truth.

Book Synopsis God's World and the Great Awakening by : Stephen R. L. Clark
Download or read book God's World and the Great Awakening written by Stephen R. L. Clark and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Stephen R.L. Clark defends the primary faith of humankind, that there is a real world which is more than a shadow of our desires and fancies, and which can be discovered through right reason. Focusing on the way in which we can "turn aside" to the Truth from the normal delusions of self-concern, Clark offers a properly worked, Platonic metaphysics as the key to identifying that reality. This book is the final volume of Limits and Renewals, a trilogy based on the author's Stanton lectures, delivered at Cambridge between 1986 and 1989, and his Wilde lectures, delivered at Oxford in 1990.

Book Synopsis The Slumber of Christianity by : Ted Dekker
Download or read book The Slumber of Christianity written by Ted Dekker and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2005-07-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As believers, our walk with God is motivated by hope-not the bland, vague notion most people have, but the expectation of an exotic, pleasurable inheritance that guides us and fires our passion...or, at least, should. Ted Dekker has written an exposé on the death of pleasure within the Church. Because many of us have set aside hope and the inspired imagination that drives it, Dekker says we have been lulled into a slumber of boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, the joy at having been liberated fades, and we feel powerless. The Slumber of Christianity explores what robs us of happiness and how we can rediscover it and live lives that rekindle hope. The pursuit of pleasure is a gift to all humans-a function of the Creator himself, who is bent upon our happiness. It's time for Christians to reclaim our inheritance of pleasure. The Slumber of Christianity will inflame hearts toward full-fledged, mind-expanding encounters with hope, through the imagination.
Book Synopsis A Call to Spiritual Awakening by : Uchenna Mezue
Download or read book A Call to Spiritual Awakening written by Uchenna Mezue and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand ourselves, and fulfill our roles on earth we need to look into the records of time for our origin and purpose. Not in history books but in life itself! Each individual human spirit carries within its personality, as a totality of its identity, all the experiences and the level of maturity it has achieved since its first incarnation in the Worlds of Matter. Although we do not often tap into these for our path in life, it is these unique experiences that make us who we are. The capacity to weigh every experience, written and unwritten exists within us and we have only ourselves to blame if we fail to recognize the Truth in any given experience. This book discusses the path of development for the human spirit in the Material spheres and draws attention to the paths in the Will of God we must follow if we are to fulfill the purpose of our existence.
Download or read book Resurrecting Jesus written by Adyashanti and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost two millennia, the story of Jesus has shaped the lives of countless people. Yet today, even though the majority of us grew up in a culture suffused by the mythos of Jesus, many of us feel disconnected from the essence of his teachings. With Resurrecting Jesus, Adyashanti invites us to rediscover the life and words of Jesus as a direct path to the most radical of transformations: spiritual awakening. Jesus crossed all of the boundaries that separated the people of his time because he viewed the world from the perspective of what unites us, not what divides us. In Resurrecting Jesus, Adya embarks on a fascinating reconsideration of the man known as Jesus, examining his life from birth to Resurrection to reveal a timeless model of awakening and enlightened engagement with the world. Through close consideration of the archetypal figures and events of the Gospels, Adya issues a call to “live the Christ” in a way that is unique to each of us. “When the eternal and the human meet,” writes Adya, “that’s where love is born—not through escaping our humanity or trying to disappear into transcendence, but through finding that place where they come into union.” Resurrecting Jesus is a book for realizing this union in your own life, with heart and mind wide open to the mystery inside us all. With an all-new foreword by Episcopalian priest and scholar Cynthia Bourgeault.

Download or read book Awakening written by Vern Neufeld Redekop and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even if all of the elements we know to be significant in the process of reconciliation were present, reconciliation would not necessarily take place. Reconciliation is a nonlinear, nonalgorithmic process that involves “matters of the heart.” From emergent creativity and its links to mysticism, to the evolution of emotions as drivers of thought, Awakening weaves cutting-edge discoveries in complexity theory with philosophical reflections on consciousness and language, drawing on Lonergan and Wittgenstein. Awakening as a phenomenon takes on a vibrant vitality as an aspect of transpersonal psychology and it manifests as imperatives to take responsibility for our relationships, to address complex challenges of justice, and to adopt a heart-based approach to peacebuilding.
Book Synopsis When God Walked Among the Nations by : Michael F. Gleason
Download or read book When God Walked Among the Nations written by Michael F. Gleason and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following is a brief description of the prevailing spiritual and moral tides that were washing over much of Europe and America in the early eighteenth century—God’s “righteous name had been intolerably dishonored, his pure and holy word disregarded by incompetent or unconverted clergy, and the human family, created to glorify God and enjoy him forever, willfully and with abandon gave themselves to all manner of corruption.” These were despairing times—with striking similarities to our present day. And yet, in the midst of this seemingly hopeless era, the omnipotent God did what no man alone could accomplish: he restored the honor due to his great name, and exalted the power of his holy word through a revival that set ablaze two spiritually parched continents—God Walked Among the Nations! The pulpit was powerfully revived, men and women by the tens of thousands were soundly converted, and biblical renewal and social reformation flourished throughout the land. Do you wonder if a revival so vast in scope that it produces extraordinary biblical, moral, and social reformation throughout your nation is even possible? If you’re pondering this question, then it is time to read about the glorious event best known as the First Great Awakening and renew your hope.

Book Synopsis Socrates, Jesus and Freedom by : Joan Arnsteen
Download or read book Socrates, Jesus and Freedom written by Joan Arnsteen and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author discusses the lives of Jesus and Socrates and through comparative analysis explains the parallels of their teaching techniques and philosophies on life. The author came under the spell of Socrates at an early age, following his example and awakening from the amanuensis that, according to Socrates, plagues us all. When she reflected upon the care of the soul and quickening of the spirit that are tenets of Socratic teaching, she became aware of the connections between the teachings of Socrates and Jesus. Socrates taught that the highest purpose of the human being was to care for one's soul and to be a lover of wisdom and by doing so we give birth to intellectual children (ideas) which will become immortal. Jesus taught us to "walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Cor 5:7 The New Inductive Study Bible). Socrates' love for his fellow citizens is evident in the care that he took to guide the ancient Athenians in open conversations that led to the truth. The treasure of our Lord's love for us belongs to each of us as individuals, and belongs to the past, present, and future for all human beings. Follow her as she points to the many similarities between Socrates and Jesus Christ, including the fact that both men never wrote anything down but had a profound effect on their followers - their spiritual influence remains as powerful today.
