Book Synopsis God's Revolution and Man's Responsibility by : Harvey Cox
Download or read book God's Revolution and Man's Responsibility written by Harvey Cox and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our times offer abundant evidence that organized Christianity is failing to fulfill its responsibilities in bringing about the changes most desperately needed in the world. The great events of our day are occurring apart from the church, and this fact indicates to Harvey Cox that the secular world is the principal arena of God's work today. Where does this leave the organized church, the clergy, and the lay member as they witness in modern society? These are the kind of questions that Harvey Cox faces and provocatively discusses in this book. There is no doubt as to where he stands personally with regard to the issues that trouble society most deeply. He is a prophet of God's reconciliation, whether in matters of race, ecumenical relationships, or world order, and he feels that Christians who stand with him will have to enter more vitally into the secular world if they are to be agents of reconciliation. You may or may not agree with this book, but you owe it to yourself to read it.

Book Synopsis The Sovereignty of God & the Responsibility of Man by : A. C. Clayman
Download or read book The Sovereignty of God & the Responsibility of Man written by A. C. Clayman and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man has been a topic that has been fought in many theological battlegrounds over centuries past, and we know that it will continue to be fought for centuries to come. Yet God invites us with a grand calling as we look into the souls of men that are perishing without hope and without God to desire such a weighty topic to impact us by having the right view of God, a proper perspective of our relationship to God and how it should impact our daily lives. The burden of the Lord to author this book is the desire for God to do that work in the heart of the readers as we peer into the beauty and glory of God.
Book Synopsis Revolution and the Christian Faith by : Vernon C. Grounds
Download or read book Revolution and the Christian Faith written by Vernon C. Grounds and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stirring book, Grounds has ably sketched the background against which the theology of revolution has emerged. Grounds puts it this way: I have sought to let the critics of the Establishment, Christian and secular alike, present in their own words the case for revolutionary change. I have also sought to let the revolutionary theologians set forth their interpretation of Christianity in detail. Quite literally, I have allowed them to speak for themselves. I have sought, further, to let Christian scholars who dissent from this new theology engage its proponents in debate. Very heavily I have drawn upon the work of Jacques Ellul, the towering French sociologist who is rapidly gaining in the United States the attention and respect which his rare fusion of professional distinction, intellectual power, and biblical commitment deserves. I shall feel amply regarded if through these pages he wins a wider readership among American evangelicals. An additional purpose has been to confront my own ecclesiastical tradition, that of Protestant orthodoxy, with the inexpressibly pressing need of permitting the anguish of our world to drive theological conservatism back to a New Testament discipleship which is nothing less than revolutionary.
Book Synopsis The Great Christian Revolution by : Mark R. Rushdoony
Download or read book The Great Christian Revolution written by Mark R. Rushdoony and published by Chalcedon Foundation. This book was released on 2009-11-18 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major work on the impact of Reformed thinking on our civilization. Some of the studies, historical and theological, break new ground and provide perspectives previously unknown or neglected. "Is the LORD's hand waxed short?" Many Christians today believe it has. Whenever the church sounds a trumpet this uncertain for the King of Kings, civil rulers have drawn the same conclusion – and acted upon it. This volume documents the critical relationship between faulty theologies and the nations staked their destiny on the myths so engendered. Like the prodigal son, modern Christianity is hunger-bitten, consuming mere husks, worshipping the semi-mighty god of Arminianism. When God’s people return to the Almighty God of Scripture, the trampling underfoot of Satan will be inevitable.
Book Synopsis Blood on the Tracks by : Willson, S. Brian
Download or read book Blood on the Tracks written by Willson, S. Brian and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We are not worth more, they are not worth less.” This is the mantra of S. Brian Willson and the theme that runs throughout his compelling psycho-historical memoir. Willson’s story begins in small-town, rural America, where he grew up as a “Commie-hating, baseball-loving Baptist,” moves through life-changing experiences in Viet Nam, Nicaragua and elsewhere, and culminates with his commitment to a localized, sustainable lifestyle. In telling his story, Willson provides numerous examples of the types of personal, risk-taking, nonviolent actions he and others have taken in attempts to educate and effect political change: tax refusal—which requires simplification of one’s lifestyle; fasting—done publicly in strategic political and/or therapeutic spiritual contexts; and obstruction tactics—strategically placing one’s body in the way of “business as usual.” It was such actions that thrust Brian Willson into the public eye in the mid-’80s, first as a participant in a high-profile, water-only “Veterans Fast for Life” against the Contra war being waged by his government in Nicaragua. Then, on a fateful day in September 1987, the world watched in horror as Willson was run over by a U.S. government munitions train during a nonviolent blocking action in which he expected to be removed from the tracks and arrested. Losing his legs only strengthened Willson’s identity with millions of unnamed victims of U.S. policy around the world. He provides details of his travels to countries in Latin America and the Middle East and bears witness to the harm done to poor people as well as to the environment by the steamroller of U.S. imperialism. These heart-rending accounts are offered side by side with inspirational stories of nonviolent struggle and the survival of resilient communities Willson’s expanding consciousness also uncovers injustices within his own country, including insights gained through his study and service within the U.S. criminal justice system and personal experiences addressing racial injustices. He discusses coming to terms with his identity as a Viet Nam veteran and the subsequent service he provides to others as director of a veterans outreach center in New England. He draws much inspiration from friends he encounters along the way as he finds himself continually drawn to the path leading to a simpler life that seeks to “do no harm.&rdquo Throughout his personal journey Willson struggles with the question, “Why was it so easy for me, a ’good’ man, to follow orders to travel 9,000 miles from home to participate in killing people who clearly were not a threat to me or any of my fellow citizens?” He eventually comes to the realization that the “American Way of Life” is AWOL from humanity, and that the only way to recover our humanity is by changing our consciousness, one individual at a time, while striving for collective cultural changes toward “less and local.” Thus, Willson offers up his personal story as a metaphorical map for anyone who feels the need to be liberated from the American Way of Life—a guidebook for anyone called by conscience to question continued obedience to vertical power structures while longing to reconnect with the human archetypes of cooperation, equity, mutual respect and empathy.

Book Synopsis Missional Ecclesiologies in Creative Tension by : Joon-Sik Park
Download or read book Missional Ecclesiologies in Creative Tension written by Joon-Sik Park and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful study of the critical issues in missional ecclesiology, Joon-Sik Park reflects on two prominent twentieth-century theologians - H. Richard Niebuhr (1894-1962) and John Howard Yoder (1927-1997) - and integrates the insights of their respective traditions. Although ecclesiology was a major concern to both Niebuhr and Yoder, their views on the nature and calling of the church were distinct. Whereas Niebuhr (a theologian in the Evangelical and Reformed tradition) was concerned with defining the church in relation to a universal community, Yoder (standing within the Mennonite tradition) was interested in representing the church as an alternative community. Although Niebuhr was reluctant to distinguish the church sharply from the world, Yoder stressed the distinctiveness of the church from the world and considered the Christian faith a decisive difference between believing and unbelieving communities. Seeking to construct an integral missional ecclesiology, Joon-Sik Park carefully engages Niebuhr and Yoder and proposes a critical synthesis of their strengths. He holds in creative tension the contradistinctive ecclesiologies of Niebuhr and Yoder by means of Lesslie Newbigin's logic of election, providing a way to overcome an impasse between the two theologians.
Book Synopsis God's Sovereignty and Our Responsibility by : Pamela K Gourley
Download or read book God's Sovereignty and Our Responsibility written by Pamela K Gourley and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would it be like our Father in heaven to choose to abort one of His children-never allowing for that one even the potential for life? Is this the nature of who He is? Sadly, because of an overreach in Calvinist teachings, with regard to the working out of God's sovereignty, the character of the Father has been so maligned. God is sovereign. He does what He wants to do. Nonetheless, in His perfect and ruling desire, God has chosen to limit Himself and to engage with men. Through Scripture-and in response to Calvinism-"God's Sovereignty and Our Responsibility: His Heart for All Men" establishes the Father's heart for all men, as both God's rule and man's place of agreement are rightly brought into balance.

Download or read book The Historical Revolution (Routledge Revivals) written by Frank Smith Fussner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962, Frank Smith Fussner's introduction to the revolution in English historical writing and thought during the period of the renaissance and reformation (1580-1640) is an influential and thoroughly-researched work. It offers an introduction not only to the context of the period and the important English historians of the era, but also provides a thorough historiographical approach which deals with the purpose, method, content, style and significance of these historians within the framework of this 'historical revolution'.
Book Synopsis God against the Revolution by : Gregg L. Frazer
Download or read book God against the Revolution written by Gregg L. Frazer and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because, it's said, history is written by the victors, we know plenty about the Patriots' cause in the American Revolution. But what about the perhaps one-third of the population who opposed independence? They too were Americans who loved the land they lived in, but their position is largely missing from our understanding of Revolution-era American political thought. With God against the Revolution, the first comprehensive account of the political thought of the American Loyalists, Gregg L. Frazer seeks to close this gap. Because the Loyalists' position was most clearly expressed by clergymen, God against the Revolution investigates the biblical, philosophical, and legal arguments articulated in Loyalist ministers' writings, pamphlets, and sermons. The Loyalist ministers Frazer consults were not blind apologists for Great Britain; they criticized British excesses. But they challenged the Patriots claiming rights as Englishmen to be subject to English law. This is one of the many instances identified by Frazer in which the Loyalist arguments mirrored or inverted those of the Patriots, who demanded natural and English rights while denying freedom of religion, expression, and assembly, and due process of law to those with opposing views. Similarly the Loyalist ministers' biblical arguments against revolution and in favor of subjection to authority resonate oddly with still familiar notions of Bible-invoking patriotism. For a revolution built on demands for liberty, equality, and fairness of representation, God against Revolution raises sobering questions--about whether the Patriots were rational, legitimate representatives of the people, working in the best interests of Americans. A critical amendment to the history of American political thought, the book also serves as a cautionary tale in the heated political atmosphere of our time.

Book Synopsis Milton and the English Revolution by : Christopher Hill
Download or read book Milton and the English Revolution written by Christopher Hill and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable book Christopher Hill used the learning gathered in a lifetime's study of seventeenth-century England to carry out a major reassessment of Milton as man, politician, poet, and religious thinker. The result is a Milton very different from most popular representations: instead of a gloomy, sexless "Puritan", we have a dashingly thinker, branded with the contemporary reputation of a libertine.
Download or read book Into His Rest written by Ted Miller and published by Bob Jones University Seminary Publication. This book was released on 2009 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quoting the psalmist, the author of Hebrews recalls God's judgment on the unbelieving Israelites after the exodus. In the Old Testament the exodus and wilderness wanderings testify of God's unmerited grace and man's corresponding responsibility. Rest represents the inheritance that God appoints for His chosen people. In the New Testament the author of Hebrews presents both themes as he warns his readers not to forfeit God's rest as their forefathers had and lose the blessing He had for them. Liberation theology portrays the exodus as an archetypal model that supports its agenda of liberating people from oppression. The use of the exodus in Hebrews 3:7-4:13, however, distinguishes the inspired perspective of the event from the one that liberation theology advances. This difference demonstrates that liberation theology cannot appeal to the exodus as proof that it is a biblical movement. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis The Collected Works of Edward Schillebeeckx Volume 3 by : Edward Schillebeeckx
Download or read book The Collected Works of Edward Schillebeeckx Volume 3 written by Edward Schillebeeckx and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God, the Future of Man focuses on religion and secularisation, viewed from various vantage points: secularisation and God-talk; secularisation and the church's liturgy; secularisation and the church's new self-understanding; and, finally, secularisation and the future of humankind on earth in light of the eschaton (church and social politics). These thought-provoking reflections are presented against the backdrop of Schillebeeckx's hermeneutic premises. In the concluding chapter his reflections on secularisation culminate in a God concept that can function fruitfully in a modern culture that assigns the future pride of place: God as the future of humankind. Written in a period pregnant with Cultural Revolution and religious change, the book foregrounds the pivotal issue of secularisation in a thought-provoking way. With feverish urgency he reflects on various forms of religiosity in the modern world. His contribution to the debate could just as well have been written today.
