Book excerpt: "This book continues the conversations begun in Emilie Townes's path-breaking A Troubling in My Soul: Womanist Perspectives on Evil and Suffering. Once again, Townes brings together essays by leading womanist theologians, interweaving a concern for matters of race, gender, and class, as these bear on the survival and well-being of the African-American community. In Embracing the Spirit the emphasis is not on evil and suffering, but on "hope, salvation, and transformation" for individuals and their communities."--Jacket

Book Synopsis When One Religion Isn't Enough by : Duane R. Bidwell
Download or read book When One Religion Isn't Enough written by Duane R. Bidwell and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration into the lives of people who embrace two or more religious traditions, and what this growing community tells us about change in our society Named a best book of 2018 by Library Journal In the United States, we often assume religious and spiritual identity are pure, static, and singular. But some people regularly cross religious boundaries. These “spiritually fluid” people celebrate complex religious bonds, and in the process they blur social categories, evoke prejudice, and complicate religious communities. Their presence sparks questions: How and why do people become spiritually fluid? Are they just confused or unable to commit? How do we make sense of them? When One Religion Isn’t Enough explores the lives of spiritually fluid people, revealing that while some chose multiple religious belonging, many more inherit it. For many North Americans, the complicated legacies of colonialism are part of their family story, and they may consider themselves both Christian and Hindu, or Buddhist, or Yoruban, or one of the many other religions native to colonized lands. For some Asian Americans, singular religious identity may seem an alien concept, as many East Asian nations freely mix Buddhist, Confucian, Taoist, and other traditions. Some African American Christians are consciously seeking to reconnect with ancestral spiritualities. And still other people are born into religiously mixed families. Jewish-Christian intermarriage led the way in the US, but religious diversity here is only increasing: almost four in ten Americans (39 percent) who have married since 2010 have a spouse who is in a different religious group. Through in-depth conversations with spiritually fluid people, renowned scholar Duane Bidwell explores how people come to claim and be claimed by multiple religious traditions, how spiritually fluid people engage radically opposed truth claims, and what this growing population tells us about change within our communities.

Book Synopsis Shekhins: Uncovering the Universalism of John's Vision by : Jd Hyobel
Download or read book Shekhins: Uncovering the Universalism of John's Vision written by Jd Hyobel and published by Hyobel. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither physical nor spirit beings but "shekhins"- such is the discovery of this book concerning the characters in Revelation. But what are shekhins if these are not beings? How did this book arrive at this viewpoint? To explain these, this book undergoes some excruciating feat from which books on Revelation largely shy away. But this is not the only endeavor that this book braves. Throughout its radical scrutiny of Revelation, it also clenches the view that all faiths and Eastern philosophies are in the vision of John - a view that again defies most, if not all, mainstream perspectives on Revelation. Upholding this, the book eventually learns the cogency of such a view after thoughtfully dissecting passages in Revelation. Passages in Revelation do not appear as they seem. Bracing its arguments with wide-ranging research on philosophy, religion, and theology, this book consequentially delivers rich, original, and highly intriguing insights, such as on: - the problem of evil - miracle and God's omnipotence - the non-selectiveness of God - the seven angels of Rev. 2-3 - the "wrath" of God - natural theology - spiritual forces - and many more This book also finds itself having unearthed the gem buried deep within the vision: perfection in love.
Book Synopsis Understanding Spiritual Gifts by : Sam Storms
Download or read book Understanding Spiritual Gifts written by Sam Storms and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are spiritual gifts? Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ. In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ. God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer. Understanding Spiritual Gifts is useful as a reference to address common questions about the gifts, but it also serves as a training manual for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual gifts for today.

Book Synopsis Embracing Wisdom by : Gilles Mongeau
Download or read book Embracing Wisdom written by Gilles Mongeau and published by PIMS. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That the exercise of our intellectual powers in the service of the Gospel can prove life-transforming is a principle that both informs the writings of Thomas Aquinas and marks the horizon of his thought. Yet the contemporary interpretation of Aquinas’ thought suffers from the modern divorce between systematic theology and spirituality. Few have asked how Aquinas sets about composing his text in such a way that it orders spiritual operations of memory, affect, imagination, understanding, judgment, and decision to each other and to the purpose of Christian spiritual development. This book proposes a theological interpretation of the Summa theologiae as a spiritual pedagogy ordered to the growth in wisdom and holiness of preachers and confessors. First it examines the social and cultural transformations of the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, and the spiritual crisis they occasioned for the Church, which called for the creation of a new kind of pastoral agent. A picture is developed of the socio-cultural role of the theologian and preacher which brings to light the rhetorical means Aquinas deploys to promote the formation of wise preachers who can mediate the Gospel by means of new cultural forms. Successive chapters present the pedagogical structure and spiritual dynamic of the Summa theologiae in light of these rhetorical principles, showing how it climaxes in the Christology of the tertia pars which promotes communion with and conforming of the whole person to Wisdom Incarnate, transforming the student into an agent of Divine Wisdom in the world.
