Book Synopsis A Credible Christianity by : Walter Kania Ph D
Download or read book A Credible Christianity written by Walter Kania Ph D and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Syrian poet noted that, "The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion and religious men without intelligence." A Nobel Prize winning physicist, Dr. Steven Weinberg said, "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." Could they both be right? Or is it possible that we could have a Christianity that is intelligible, believable, and credible? In order for that to be true we would need to rescue our traditional notions and practice of the Christian faith from its ancient, fraudulent time warp. We need to help it remove itself from the cultural trance in which it exists, and the faulty beliefs which it holds. We continue to survive on and promote an ancient, discredited history of Jesus and the Church. The secular and Biblical Scholarship of the last 200 years has been largely ignored in today's Christian beliefs and practices. What we have today in Christianity is a distorted, disfigured and fraudulent hero of the Christian faith. We have numbed and parked our mental faculties regarding the historic knowledge of our religion, and the truthful, accurate, and proper exercise or practice of our religion. A Credible Christianity provides you with the best and latest scholarship, behavioral research, and psychological insight. Galileo, a hero of the Renaissance who was accused of sacrilege in his day said, "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use."

Book excerpt: Join a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus using the same approach he employs to solve real murder cases. Detective J. Warner Wallace was skeptical of the Bible's claims about Jesus. But he'd investigated several no-body homicide cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim's body. He wondered if the truth about the historical Jesus could be investigated in the same way. In Person of Interest, cold-case detective and bestselling author J. Warner Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity as he carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone, without relying on the New Testament. In this book, you'll: Understand like never before how Jesus—the most significant person in history—changed the world and why he still matters today. Learn how to think like a cold-case detective by using an innovative and unique "fuse and fallout" investigative strategy, which you can also use to examine other claims of history. Explore and learn how to respond to common objections to Christianity. Creative, compelling, and fully illustrated, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament gospel accounts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Christianity just a belief that dulls the pain of our existence with dreams that are beautiful but false? Or is it an accurate account of reality, our own condition and God’s attitude toward us?

They answer those questions and show that clear thinking is not in conflict with personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Book Synopsis Saving Christianity by : Hilary Wakeman
Download or read book Saving Christianity written by Hilary Wakeman and published by The Liffey Press. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I believe, because it is impossible’ (Tertullian, 2nd century) Some of the statements of belief that Christians are required to assent to, such as the Virgin Birth and the bodily Resurrection of Jesus, are driving many of them out of the Catholic and Protestant churches--and preventing new people from coming in. Yet those statements were formulated nearly two thousand years ago, in a time when people understood the world very differently. For over 150 years theologians of all denominations have been warning the Church that, if it is not to become extinct, it needs to look for the truths that lie behind those ancient formulations, and find new ways of presenting them. But their words have been ignored by the church authorities and by priests and ministers, preferring not to disturb the present faith of their congregations. And so the gap between the theologians and the people in the pews continues to widen. Now many Christians are taking their beliefs into their own hands. Increasingly, they are meeting in small groups and communities, without formal leadership and without formal doctrine, ignoring denominational differences yet bringing the best of their various traditions with them. Is this the Christianity of the future? In this book Hilary Wakeman, a recently retired priest in the Church of Ireland, talks about the difference between right-brain and left-brain approaches to faith and religion, and considers some of the ways that the core doctrines of Christianity can be re-stated so that they can be expressed with honesty and integrity.
Book Synopsis Christianity after Christendom by : Martin Koci
Download or read book Christianity after Christendom written by Martin Koci and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What comes after the end of Christendom? Christianity has ceased to function as the dominant force in society and yet the Christian faith continues. How are we to understand Christianity in this 'after'? Bringing into conversation seven unorthodox or 'heretical' continental philosophers, including Jan Patocka, Jean-Luc Nancy, Gianni Vattimo and John D. Caputo, Martin Koci re-centres the debates around philosophy's so-called return to religion to address the current 'not-Christian, but not yet non-Christian' culture. In the modern context of increasing secularization and pluralization, Christianity after Christendom boldly proposes that Christians must embrace the demise of Christianity as a meta-narrative and see their faith as an existential mode of being-in-the-world. Whilst not denying the religion's history, this 'after' of Christianity emancipates the discourse from the socio-historical focus on Christendom and introduces new perspectives on Christianity as an embodied religious tradition, as a way of being, even as a faithfulness to the world. In dialogue with a broad range of philosophical movements, including deconstruction, phenomenology, hermeneutics and postmodern critiques of religion, this is a timely examination of the present and future of post-Christendom Christianity.

Book Synopsis Cold-Case Christianity by : J. Warner Wallace
Download or read book Cold-Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
Book Synopsis A Believable Bible by : Ph. D Walter Kania
Download or read book A Believable Bible written by Ph. D Walter Kania and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a recent study reported by the Associated Press, the American Religious Identification Survey concluded that, the percentage of Christians in America had declined. It went on further to report that more people say that they have no religion at all. Approximately 30o% of married couples did not have a religious ceremony. About 27% of those polled said that they did not want a religious funeral. Why is this true? Increasingly, people feel the need to make a decision. They must decide between, accepting and becoming a Biblical literalist or, embracing the known, verifiable realities about the world in which they live. This choice is confusing, and it creates a state of cognitive dissonance that becomes intolerable for most people. Having to accept a Bible that is unbelievable, that is filled with pre-modern, unacceptable notions, and even noxious declarations, is a turnoff to people in an educated culture. Having to believe in an indefinable, punitive, and capricious God as promoted in religion, is a difficult and repulsive pill for most people to swallow. In "A Believable Bible" you are provided with a guidebook for understanding and making sense of the book of faith that is the basic document of, and that is responsible for the Christian faith in America. You will be surprised to discover that the Bible may not be what you have been led to believe. Incorporating the best of recent biblical scholarship and psychological insight, Dr. Kania takes you on a fascinating journey of discovery and new truth, much as he did in his prior book, "Healthy Religion."
