Book Synopsis Existentialism and Christian Zen by : A William McVey
Download or read book Existentialism and Christian Zen written by A William McVey and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a small book written for readers without an in depth background in philosophy, especially existentialism. It is an examinnation of the interface between Christian meditation and Zen Buddhism. It is contextual, and as of yet I have not included the meditation workshop book that I use when I am giving workshops on Christian Zen meditation. Presently, it is really in the format of an in depth essay. The style is siminlar to one of your publications that had led me to your site i.e Emotion and Psyche, Marc Jackson.I have presented this workshop also on college campuses in the midwest, and it was received well. It helps greatly clarify the nature o af promising and practical dialogue between Christian existentialism and the practice of Zen.
Book Synopsis Zen-Existentialism by : Lit-sen Chang
Download or read book Zen-Existentialism written by Lit-sen Chang and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern man has found that material achievements are failing him, but in his escape from despair, he has become an easy prey for the deceptive cult of "Zen-Existentialism." There has emerged a mode of radical "New Humanism" with its emphasis on "human autonomy." In place of the God-man appears the "man-god." There is a search for the "world within," the "limitless inner space," the "expansion of consciousness," and the transcendental experience of "Satori." First published in 1969, this book prophetically anticipated the growth of New Age developments in the decades to follow. Lit-sen Chang directly spoke to the Hippie movement of his day, which was then seeking various means of transcendence through drugs and eastern mysticism.This book also reflects fifty years of bitter experiences of the author's spiritual pilgrimage and shows how he was miraculously delivered by the grace and power of God from his "cul-de-sac." Chang writes of the utter futility of the fantasy of the East, analyzes the root causes of the crises in the West, and points out the doom of auto-soterism after his careful diagnosis of the human problem in cultural, philosophical, religious, and theological terms.

They comprise the fifteenth series of lectures to Christian Biography on a foundation established by President and Mrs. Ezra Squier Tipple. The selection of the participants in the lectureship followed easily upon the choice of the subject. The lecturers were assembled under a commission entitles "The Challenge of Christian Existentialism." The major motive in this title is clear. A cultural movement which is exercising so great an influence upon the reformulation of Christian thought deserves to be appraised."--Preface

Book Synopsis The Committed Self by : Victor A. Shepherd
Download or read book The Committed Self written by Victor A. Shepherd and published by BPS Books. This book was released on 2015-01-03 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committed Self is a clear and compelling introduction to Existentialism, the root of Postmodernism and, according to Victor A. Shepherd, still the most significant philosophy of our times. Focusing on Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Buber, Heidegger, and Sartre and their passionate commitment to the authenticity of the self, Shepherd maintains that Existentialism has much to say to Christians with its understanding of: What it is to be a human being How diverse forces operative in the world and in the psyche shape human self-awareness The manner in which radical commitment forges and forms that "self," which is nothing less than a new birth Shepherd believes that an acquaintance with Existentialism will aid Christians in negotiating the minefield they think life has become. And he persistently draws attention to the manner in which Existentialism recalls theology to its proper vocation whenever theology appears to be in danger of becoming a species of rationalism that uses religious vocabulary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existentialism is a philosophical school of thought unique in being based on feeling and experience rather than on the traditional foundations of philosophy. Many of its proponents have been atheists or can be considered opponents of religion. With this history, can there be such a thing as a Christian existentialism?

Book Synopsis The Religion of Existence by : Noreen Khawaja
Download or read book The Religion of Existence written by Noreen Khawaja and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was existentialism? At its heart, Noreen Khawaja argues, existentialism was an effort to translate Protestant piety into a secular philosophy. While there have been many attempts to define existentialism from within as a coherent philosophical program and even as a movement, Khawaja s book is the first study of existentialism from the standpoint of intellectual history and the first to look systematically at the role that Christianity played in the development of existential thought. Focusing on Soren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, and Jean-Paul Sartre, Khawaja illuminates the key moments in existentialism s reconstruction of Protestant piety within the confines of secular philosophy. Heidegger once described his work as an exercise in the piety of thinking. Khawaja s book shows the historical and systematic truth behind this metaphor. Notwithstanding Heidegger, thinking has not always been a pious act. But for a certain group of European intellectuals in the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it became so. "The Religion of Existence "will appeal to scholars of modern Christianity, philosophers, and historians of European philosophy, as well as those engaged with the theoretical and historical problems of secular and post-secular modernity.

Book Synopsis Kierkegaard's Existentialism by : George Leone
Download or read book Kierkegaard's Existentialism written by George Leone and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Kierkegaard’s complex legacy has been claimed by two often strikingly disjunctive traditions: the Christian and the existential. Leone, however, argues that a sensitive reading of the Danish philosopher reveals that the two strains are inseparable, producing an inclusive view of the self that is aware of its worldly manifestations as well as its spiritual relation to the absolute...Along the way, Leone astutely tackles some of the central topics in Kierkegaard’s esoteric body of work, including his unconventional view of God, his radical interpretation of faith, and his groundbreaking view of ethics, which turn out to be demanding but unencumbered by normative standards. What emerges from this analysis is a lively portrait of a philosopher who understood better than any philosopher before him the basic paradox of the self. Leone’s prose is refreshingly lucid...Still, the scholarly aims require a close read...A welcome, rigorous contribution to Kierkegaard-ian scholarship.” From a Kirkus Review
