Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Modern Mind Partly because of the limitations of space, and partly because any real insight into the proc esses can be gained only by long discipline and training. Here my function, if humble, is none the less honourable. It is that of a kind of theological middleman, who would mediate to thoughtful but non-academic per sons the main conclusions about the origin and meaning of the Christian Religion, to which the general body of scholars have come or are coming. Hence my aim Is not critical, but positive and constructive. There are Signs that more criticism is losing its interest for thoughtful minds within the Church. This has come about partly because criticism has largely done its work - a great and noble and necessary work - and partly because the human soul cannot permanently live by oriti cism alone, but ever seeks to go beyond it in search of something to which criticism is a mere preliminary. Hence there is a craving today for a richer, a more positive expo sitiou of the great truths of Christianity than.

Download or read book Storytelling written by Christian Salmon and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative spell cast over politics and society Politics is no longer the art of the possible, but of the fictive. Its aim is not to change the world as it exists, but to affect the way that it is perceived. In Storytelling Christian Salmon looks at the twenty-first-century hijacking of creative imagination, anatomizing the timeless human desire for narrative form, and how this desire is abused by the marketing mechanisms that bolster politicians and their products: luxury brands trade on embellished histories, managers tell stories to motivate employees, soldiers in Iraq train on Hollywood-conceived computer games, and spin doctors construct political lives as if they were a folk epic. This “storytelling machine” is masterfully unveiled by Salmon, and is shown to be more effective and insidious as a means of oppression than anything dreamed up by Orwell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Can We Dispense With the Christianity?: The Question; Its Crux and Implications for the Modern Mind I have sought to state, briefly but with a proper placing of emphasis and with a just sense of the values and interests involved, the bearings of the much-debated question which forms the title of this book. There is, I am confident, a crux to this ques tion and something in the light of which that crux may be both stated and solved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Mind I have tried in the following pages to draw a distinction between general spirituality, and the specific Christian spirituality, which is based on the practical assimilation by our minds of the doctrine of the Incarnation. The purpose of the book is, of course, more of the nature of a philosophy of the Christian religion, than of a hortatory, or preceptive character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preacher and the Modern Mind May I hold the reader by the button-hole for a moment while I explain to him what to look for and what not to look for in the pages that follow? I am especially desirous that a somewhat pretentious title should not awaken expectations that cannot be fulfilled. First of all, then, these chapters are concerned with the preacher, and with the preacher as preacher, not as scholar or philosopher. It was the purpose of the Founder of this Lecture, as indicated in the Trust Deed executed by him, that it should be delivered with special reference and adaptation to the necessities of the times, and With a view to the benefit of the Candidates who are about to be ordained by the Conference to the Ministry.' This two-fold instruction I have endeavoured to keep steadfastly in View throughout these pages; they are addressed to the preacher, and especially to the young preacher, who feels, and is himself seeking to minister to, the necessities of the times.'

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and the Modern Mind and Other Essays in Modernism The essays sewed together in this little volume were delivered on very various occasions. One of them was occasioned by a visitation of certain colleges and universities I was authorized to make as Billings Lecturer for the American Unitarian Association. One or two others were used in the first instance as chapel talks before our students in the theological school, and afterwards printed here and there. The essay on prayer was given in substance as a vesper address before two or three colleges and universities here in the West. The gist of another was used in such places as the University of Wisconsin and Ohio State Uni verity, where I have had occasional engagements. The essay on Life Everlasting was originally de livered as the Channing Hall address in Boston. And so on. It doesn't matter much what the precise history of these following papers has been. As they now stand they are much revised; and, I dare say, anyway, they have been mostly forgotten by those who may have heard or read them in their original form.

Book Synopsis Everyman and Christianity by : Eric Strickland Waterhouse
Download or read book Everyman and Christianity written by Eric Strickland Waterhouse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyman and Christianity: A Working Creed As the title shows, this book is concerned with a Creed, but it is not meant to be a theology or an apologetic. The creed represents the belief of the average Briton about the best things in life and conduct. The implications of these beliefs have been traced, and the argument of the book is that they lead towards those central truths which are a heritage common to all the various forms of Christianity. Frequently, it is true, the average man has little or no connexion with the Churches. Moreover, he knows that his opinions, for example, on divorce, are repudiated by some Churches, his attitude towards gambling by others. Hence he is apt to imagine that his religion, such as he recog nizes it to be, is not particularly connected with Christianity, and he does not realize how essentially Christian are his beliefs about the chief values of life. Those who are acquainted with the moral ideals of the world before Christ, even as represented by the great thinkers of Greece, realize the vast difference Christ's teaching has made; for example the 'high-minded' man whom Aristotle so admires repels the modern mind. The reason is that the Christian ideal has transformed our ideals. Though virtue is the same for us as for Aristotle, its expres sion is not. The things men most surely believe 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Final Faith: A Statement of the Nature and Authority of Christianity as the Religion of the World It may be added, for the sake of some readers, that the successive Christian doctrines discussed in these papers have been selected solely because of their close relation to the central theme and object of the book. The exposition of these topics does not follow a uniform plan. In each case it is concerned with those aspects of the subject which it seemed important to emphasise in the presence of the modern mind, and in view of the special aim of the whole work. The influence of Christianity on the social evolution of man, while briefly referred to in the following pages, has been more fully illustrated in an earlier volume entitled Christianity and the Progress of Man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and the Modern Mind: Lectures Delivered Before the Glasgow University Society of St. Ninian IN Glasgow, as in other Universities, students have long been accustomed to form themselves into societies for the common study of Special subjects, or for the promotion of special ends. The Dialectic, Philosophical, Theological, Historical, Physical, and other Societies exist mainly for discussion; the Missionary, Temperance, University Settlement, Christian Union, and several Church Societies, have in view co-operative effort of a practical kind. In the aggregate these Societies cover well the wide field of student interest and activity. Not a few concern themselves only with particular departments of ethical or religious speculation, learning, or practice; just as others devote all their attention to science or letters, though their members may of course be indivi dually interested in various aspects of religion.

Book Synopsis The Resurrection and Modern Thought (Classic Reprint) by : W. J. Sparrow Simpson
Download or read book The Resurrection and Modern Thought (Classic Reprint) written by W. J. Sparrow Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resurrection and Modern Thought It is characteristic of many writings on the Resurrection of our Lord that they concentrate attention chiefly upon the evidences, while giving scanty recognition to the theology. This is, surely, even from an evidential standpoint, to be regretted; because the fact itself acquires a different value when seen to occupy a central place in a religious interpretation of human life and destiny. The writer is conscious of having dwelt insufficiently upon the doctrine in the volume which he was allowed to contribute to the Oxford Library of Practical Theology. An attempt was made to supplement this in an article contributed to Hastings' 'Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels.' But the exigences of space precluded a full discussion. A study of the theology and of the history of the doctrine is offered in the following pages. Of central importance are the changes caused in S. Paul's theology by his experience of the manifested presence of the Risen Lord. The doctrinal conclusions drawn from the Resurrection in the Mission Sermons of the Acts should receive the most careful study. Then comes, in its matured development, the theology of the Resurrection as expounded by S. Paul: its bearing on our Lord's Divinity; its effect in the process of His exaltation; its effect on the justification of the Christian Community, on the moral and physical Resurrection of individuals.

Book Synopsis Christianity in Its Modern Expression (Classic Reprint) by : George Burman Foster
Download or read book Christianity in Its Modern Expression (Classic Reprint) written by George Burman Foster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in Its Modern Expression George Burman Foster was born on the' second of April, 1857, and died on the twenty-second of December, 1918. Prior to his occupancy of the chair of the Philosophy of Religion in the University of Chicago he was Professor of Systematic The ology in the Divinity School of the same institution. The pres ent volume embodies his lectures 'on the dogmatics and ethics of the Christian religion in the form in which these were last delivered to his theological classes. The main body of the book is made up of the dictated portion of the lectures. The foot-notes contain a report, also practically verbatim, of elabora tions and extemporaneous remarks introduced by the lecturer at the indicated points of the main discussion. Former students will recognize here especially many of the brilliant and memorable sayings of this inspiring and thought-provoking teacher. Professor Foster was a remarkably sympathetic interpreter of points of view other than his own. But in his exposition of the appreciations and viewpoint of the Christian religious man, one knew that it was not a case of understanding through mere sympathetic imagination; he was speaking out of the depths of his own experience. He knew what religion was, for it was his daily life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christianity in a New World (Classic Reprint) written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in a New World Of the peculiar responsibility that the Christian Church faces in these days of readjustment and reconstruction, the Baptists of the Northern States have their full share. These responsibilities are indeed emphasized, if not increased, by the changes which we have recently made in our organization, and as a result of which we enter into closer cooperation than before in the accomplishment of our denominational task. It was with these things in mind that this volume of essays and addresses was planned and undertaken. Loving our denomination and earnestly desiring that it shall do its full duty in this hour of peril-fraught opportunity, we offer this volume to our brethren in the hope that, in some small measure at least, it may contribute to that knowledge of the history of our religion and that apprehension of its essential elements which are needed to enable us to interpret this time and serve our generation as our fathers served theirs. Most of the chapters of this book were written especially for publication in it. The few which were originally delivered as public addresses, though bearing the marks of their special occasion, have lost none of their significance by the lapse of time since their delivery.
