This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gods Mysteries and Paradoxes: Looking through the Glass Darkly is a book about paradoxes and how they were actually created by God to bring unique enlightenment but also to confound the so-called earthly wisdom. Paradoxes also keep believers humble by showing them that Gods ways are not always mans ways. For this is what the high and lofty One sayshe who lives forever, whose name is holy; I live in a high and holy place but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite (Isaiah 57: 15). This book introduces the reader to the ancient idea of The Divine Paradox written by Hermes Tristmegistus (thrice great) in The Divine Pylander. An additional book, Corpus Hermeticum, was translated by Marsilo Ficino during the early Renaissance and helps frame the philosophical paradox of nature versus faith. This book, along with other fragments written by Hermes Trismegistus, was translated in the early 1400s and caused a rebirth of its teachings during the Renaissance. Modern secret societies and the occult are using much of the same knowledge to deceive people in the world today. Evidence shows Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, and the Knights Templar possessed ancient knowledge and from it gave rise to secret organizations and societies operating today, including the Illuminati, Freemasons, and modern occultists.

Download or read book God Can't written by Thomas Jay Oord and published by SacraSage Press. This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurting people ask heart-felt questions about God and suffering. Some "answers" they receive appeal to mystery: “God’s ways are not our ways”. Some answers say God allows evil for a greater purpose. Some say evil is God's punishment. The usual answers fail. They don't support the truth that God loves everyone all the time. God Can't gives a believable answer to why a good and powerful God doesn't prevent evil. Author Thomas Jay Oord says God’s love is inherently uncontrolling. God loves everyone and everything, so God can't control anyone or anything. This means God cannot prevent evil singlehandedly. God can’t stop evildoers, whether human, animal, organism, or inanimate objects and forces. In God Can't, Oord gives a plausible reason why some are healed, but many others are not. God always works to heal everyone, but sometimes our bodies, organisms, or other creatures do not cooperate with God's healing work. Or the conditions of creation are not right for the healing God wants to do. Some people think God causes or allows suffering to teach us lessons or build our character. God Can't disagrees. Oord says God squeezes good from the evil God didn’t want in the first place. God uses pain and suffering without willing or even allowing it. Most people think God can overcome evil singlehandedly. In God Can't, Oord says God needs cooperation for love to reign now and later. This leads to a better view of the afterlife called “relentless love.” It rejects traditional ideas of heaven, hell, and annihilation. Relentless love holds to the possibility all creatures and all creation will respond to God’s love. God Can't is written in understandable language. As a world-renown theologian, Thomas Jay Oord brings credibility to the book’s radical ideas. He explains these ideas through true stories, illustrations, and scripture. God Can't is for those who want answers to tragedy, abuse, and other evils that make sense! What They're Saying... “If conventional notions of God make less and less sense to you, you’ll find Thomas Jay Oord’s new book a breath of fresh air. Simply put, “God Can’t” presents an understanding of God that thoughtful, ethical people can believe in.” -- Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration "I did not want this book to end. I wish Dr. Oord had written it 100 years ago, or 1000 years ago... To find your understanding of life and your love for God renewed, read this book." -- Dr. Karen Strand Winslow, Ph.D., Biblical and Jewish Studies Professor of Bible, Azusa Pacific University "As a clinical psychologist working with people in trauma, I owe Thomas Jay Oord an enormous debt of gratitude for recasting the so-called problem of evil in terms that are conceptually satisfying, theologically consistent, and pastorally liberating.” -- Dr Roger Bretherton- Principal Lecturer at the University of Lincoln (UK), Chair of the British Association of Christians in Psychology “Victims of trauma sometimes hear theological responses that imply their suffering is somehow “God’s will." A more careful theological reflection on the nature of the power of a God who is love can help. Oord gives us a clear and compelling alternative in this profoundly insightful and admirably concrete and accessible book.” -- Dr. Anna Case-Winters, Professor of Theology at McCormick Theological Seminary “I know of no book that speaks to suffering with the depth of theological sophistication and psychological sensitivity as God Can’t. This book is a rare combination of depth and accessibility, truly written for the wounded. I recommend it to my students, parishioners, and therapy clients.” -- Dr. Brad D. Strawn, Professor of the Integration of Psychology and Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary

Book Synopsis Faith Lacking Understanding by : Randal Rauser
Download or read book Faith Lacking Understanding written by Randal Rauser and published by Paternoster Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to put mystery back at the heart of Christian theology, Rauser leads the reader on a riveting and, at times, unsettling journey through the major doctrines encapsulated in the Apostles' Creed. In each case he illustrates how a theoretical understanding of the doctrine as yet eludes us. We simply do not know, for example, what it means for God to be Trinity, or how Christ can be both human and divine, or how the atonement works. Rauser shows that the journey of thinking theologically which arises out of a love for, and worship of God within a communal atmosphere is as important as the end result of achieving doctrines that approximate reality. In this way the author seeks to steer us on a middle course between the twin errors of evangelicalism (heightening the doctrine) and liberalism (heightening the process).

Download or read book Beyond Naive Belief written by Paul Edward Dinter and published by Crossroad Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few encounters have as much potential for both enlightenment and danger as the clash between the psychological "self" of modernity and the religious "soul" of traditional Christianity. Paul Dinter asks whether a new stage on the way that faith seeks understanding can move post-Vatican II Catholics beyond this impasse - and he provides fresh and compelling answers." "By taking advantage of Vatican II's recognition that both the Bible and the church "have a history" and must be seen accordingly, Dr. Dinter suggests a way for mature believers to profess Catholic faith beyond the anti-modern formulations of natural law, papal infallibility, and the recent Marian doctrines. Not content to critique these definitions for their flaws, he re-appropriates their truth for today." ""In a mature perspective," Dinter writes, "Catholic unity is not guaranteed by mind-numbing obedience to the magisterium but by participation in sacramental reality, post-critically understood." Beyond Naive Belief is a bridge-building book for all believers of good faith."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book Sacred Chaos written by James Newby and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 1998-04-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain and loss are not only the products of chaos. They produce chaos. Chaos can have gentle beginnings, such as an inner tug within our souls that awakens us to the realization that the life we are leading is not fulfilling. Chaos can also begin in more dramatic ways - the death of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of a job. Whatever the impetus, chaos is uncomfortable. It moves us out of familiar patterns and known ways, and causes us to reevaluate what is important; and, if we heed the signs, its sets us on a journey of seeking more of what is missing.In this extraordinary book, James R. Newby tells us of his own spiritual journey and emitonial chaos - of the death of his father, the breakdown of his marriage, and his own bouts with debilitating depression. He shows how chaos such as this, or chaos that simply whirls around inside us, becomes sacred when it pushes us on the quest for spiritual intimacy. What that quest looks like, says Newby, very much depends on how willing we are to let go of the past behaviors that have tied us down and follow wherever the chaos of our spiritual quest leads us.
Book Synopsis Elegy & Paradox by : William David Shaw
Download or read book Elegy & Paradox written by William David Shaw and published by Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaw argues that the idea of an elusive truth, of an apparent contradiction that invites resolution, explains the power of many elegies we read. After exploring paradoxes of performative language and circular form in classical and confessional elegies, respectively, he examines the paradoxes of a silent-speaking word in Romantic elegy and paradoxes of breakdown and breakthrough in modern elegy. A contrast between strong and weak mourners in Ben Jonson's and Henry King's elegies, between impact and tremor in Tennyson's elegies, and between tough- and tender-minded mourners in Frost's "Home Burial," suggests that reading elegies, like writing them, is more than an academic exercise; it is also a life-and-death issue.
