Book Synopsis Free Range Christianity by : Graham Hellier
Download or read book Free Range Christianity written by Graham Hellier and published by . This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for those who enjoy the freedom of open minds. It is for those who can feel the wind 'that blows where it wills'. It is for those who are glad to keep company with 'fellow travellers' of every kind. It is not for those fearful of doubt or embarrassed by faith. It is not for those who put their entire trust in Church and Bible rather than in the living God, who has gone before them. ............................................................................................................. If there is a God, it's going to be a lot bigger and a whole lot more incomprehensible than any theologian of any religion has ever proposed." attributed to Richard Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion". If he is unaware, then it is Christians who have failed. We have be-littled God, pinning him between the pages of a black book, confining him behind stone walls and reducing him in our sacraments. It is time to range free again. .................................................................................................................................... For information.
Download or read book Free Range Faith written by Glenn Hager and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Free Range Faith" is a companion memoir for people who have left the institutional church, but not the faith. Glenn Hager addresses the question, "Is there is a more real and meaningful way to try to follow Jesus and express your faith without having to deal with all of the baggage of the institutional church?" He honestly admits, "I was trying to figure out what's next. I did not want to re-enter the institution that we call the church, but I never ceased being amazed by Jesus. I decided that however I expressed my faith, it needed to be real, personal, and a part of everyday life." The author suggests a potential path forward for irreligious friends of Jesus. He examines each of the practices generally believed to be important for nurturing spiritual formation by looking at the conventional way they are expressed, then digging deeper to uncover the foundational principle for the practice, and lastly, considering a more open, meaningful, and honest means of expression. He also devotes several pages to what he calls "lessons that I haven't mastered." These "lessons" are things that every honest person of faith struggles with, like the tension between trusting God and personal responsibility, our hunger for certainty and things that seem to be unanswerable, and the inner battle between grace and guilt. It is an invaluable resource for honest seekers, people who have questions, but haven't been finding answers in the institutional church, and for those who are re-examining their faith and are looking for meaningful avenues of expression. This book is about breaking out of the cage and flying free by forging a personal faith rather than outsourcing it an institution.

Book Synopsis What Have They Done with Jesus? by : Ben Witherington III
Download or read book What Have They Done with Jesus? written by Ben Witherington III and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange theories about Jesus seem to ooze from our culture with increasing regularity. Ben Witherington, one of the top Jesus scholars, will have none of it. There were no secret Gnostic teachings in the first century. With leading scholars and popular purveyors of bad history in his crosshairs, Witherington reveals what we can—and cannot—claim to know about the real Jesus. The Bible, not outside sources, is still the most trustworthy historical record we have today. Utilizing a fresh "personality profile" approach, Witherington highlights core Christian claims by investigating the major figures in Jesus’s inner circle of followers: Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Peter, James the brother of Jesus, Paul, and the mysterious "beloved disciple." In each chapter Witherington satisfies our curiosities and answers the full range of questions about these key figures and what each of them can teach us about the historical Jesus. What Have They Done with Jesus? is a vigorous defense of traditional Christianity that offers a compelling portrait of Jesus’s core message according to those who knew him best.

Book Synopsis The Original Jesus by : Daniel Darling
Download or read book The Original Jesus written by Daniel Darling and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From hit songs to bumper stickers to eye-black, Jesus is trending high wherever you look. But at the end of the day, many "try Jesus" and come away disappointed in the experience. That's because the Jesus of popular culture looks much more like us than the God-man who appeared in the flesh two thousand years ago. We've got Guru Jesus, Braveheart Jesus, Dr. Phil Jesus, Free-Range Jesus, and plenty more imposters that feed into our selfish desires. The problem is, they don't have the power to save us or transform us into new creations. Luckily, it doesn't have to be that way. The Original Jesus calls readers back to the Jesus who demands our worship--the potter who molds us, the clay. Seekers, skeptics, and sojourners in the way of faith will see Jesus for who he really is: God in the flesh, calling us to surrender our very lives that we may truly live. Foreword by Russell Moore.

Book Synopsis Confronting Religious Violence by : Catherine M. Wallace
Download or read book Confronting Religious Violence written by Catherine M. Wallace and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Religious Violence: Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination tells the tale of Christian theocracy in the West. Who converted whom was never entirely clear: the empire did stop feeding people to the lions for public entertainment; but Christianity was theologically corrupted by its official role in legitimating empire-as-usual. That theological corruption led to crusades, inquisitions, torture, and so forth. And it leaves us with a major question: is God violent? More dangerously yet: is violence our only option in response to wrongdoing? Are we morally obligated to injure those who have injured others, to kill those who have killed others? If theocracy is a terrible idea, what is the proper relationship between church and state? We can't say that the state is never morally accountable at all. Furthermore: despite constitutional separation of church and state, hard-right Christian fundamentalism continues to play a culturally significant role in advocating military action abroad and supporting state violence at home. There is a lot at stake in reclaiming the systematic nonviolence and moral imagination of Jesus of Nazareth.

Book Synopsis Do I Stay Christian? by : Brian D. McLaren
Download or read book Do I Stay Christian? written by Brian D. McLaren and published by St. Martin's Essentials. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubbed "a heroic gate-crasher" by New York Times bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Brian D. McLaren explores reasons to leave or stay within the church and if so how... "Brian's new book on remaining Christian knocks it out of the ballpark in terms of framing and naming the questions. I cannot stop reading it. Thank you, Brian!" —Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, author of The Universal Christ "Any thoughtful Christian has been asking the questions McLaren tackles here, but many of us are afraid to voice them aloud. In Do I Stay Christian? we’re gifted a gentle guide who opens ideas and voices the questions we cannot, naming our frustration, fear, and hesitant hope." —Rev. Dr. Amy Butler, former Senior Minister, The Riverside Church; Founder, Invested Faith Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people—including pastors, priests, and other religious leaders—are asking in private. Picking up where Faith After Doubt leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity. There is a way to say both yes and no to the question of staying Christian, McLaren says, by shifting the focus from whether we stay Christian to how we stay human. If Do I Stay Christian? is the question you're asking—or if it's a question that someone you love is asking—this is the book you've been waiting for.

Book Synopsis Orality and Literacy in Early Christianity by : Pieter Botha
Download or read book Orality and Literacy in Early Christianity written by Pieter Botha and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Jesus movement and earliest Christianity requires careful attention to the characteristics and peculiarities of oral and literate traditions. Understanding the distinctive elements of Greco-Roman literacy potentially has profound implications for the historical understanding of the documents and events involved. Concepts such as media criticism, orality, manuscript culture, scribal writing, and performative reading are explored in these chapters. The scene of Greco-Roman literacy is analyzed by investigating writing and reading practices. These aspects are then related to early Christian texts such as the Gospel of Mark and sections from Paul's letters.

Malawi, where 80% of the population identify as Christian is no exception, nor are the Ngonde at its northern border with Tanzania. While it is difficult to find someone who does not claim to be a Christian, African traditional religion is by no means dead and often practiced by many. While the two religions are not “mixed”, but they are both realities in many a Christians life, though realities of a different kind. The author explores the intricate and often varied relationship between the two and considers factors which increase or decrease dual religiosity.
