Download or read book One Faith--Many Transitions written by K. G. Powderly, Jr. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church history reads like a wartime romance tragedy with the promise of a happy ending, writ large. The New Testament calls the church "Christ's Bride." "One Faith-Many Transitions: Worldviews in Church History" snapshots the pathos, defeat, and victory of the heroes and villains in historic Christianity. More importantly, "One Faith" maps many of the worldviews the church encountered, during its growth. It shows how the Holy Spirit redemptively used parts of these worldviews to give Christians tools they might not have otherwise had, but also shows how other parts distorted the Faith, when taken into the church without adequate analysis. "One Faith-Many Transitions" also models how God's Spirit brings churches back into living relationship with Him. It explores why Christians of the past and present thought and acted as they did. Written in a manner that takes the Bible seriously as a message system from the living God; "One Faith" analyzes historic ideas, people, and events from a thoughtful worldview that takes the doctrines of historic Christianity as relevant to the real world today. "One Faith-Many Transitions" is a historical worldview apologetic for a Christianity that believes the Bible really is the word of God, the best guide to the human condition; and the highest standard for church authority today.

Byron, SJ, applies and explains principles of Catholic social teaching throughout the book, which offers the reader clarity and concise exposition of the issues that are troubling the contemporary Catholic mind.

Book Synopsis Salvation in African Christianity by : Rodney L. Reed
Download or read book Salvation in African Christianity written by Rodney L. Reed and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What must I do to be saved?” That question, raised in the book of Acts by the Philippian jailer, is a question for the ages. Yet what, even, does it mean to be saved? Is salvation for this life or the next? Is it purely spiritual or does it have physical and material implications? Can salvation be lost? Do we determine who will be saved or does God? What role does Christ play in salvation? Such are the seemingly unending questions soteriology strives to answer. In this eighth volume from the Africa Society of Evangelical Theology, African theologians articulate their understanding of salvation – and its widespread implications for life and practice – in conversation with Scripture and the rich diversity of an African cultural context. Salvation is examined from historical, philosophical, and theological lenses, and scholars address topics as wide-ranging as conversion, ethnicity, fertility, poverty, prosperity, the Trinity, exclusivism, African Pentecostalism, rural community, eschatology, wholeness, and atonement. It is a powerful exploration of the holistic nature of salvation as articulated in Scripture and understood by the African church.

Book Synopsis Many Tongues, One Faith by : David Jeffrey Endres
Download or read book Many Tongues, One Faith written by David Jeffrey Endres and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Franciscan parishes in the United States mirrors the social, religious and cultural shifts brought about by repeated waves of immigrants to the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This study offers a glimpse into the struggles of Franciscan priests, sisters, and laity attempting to live out their faith amidst the challenges of the time: religious bigotry, racial and ethnic strife, and cultural and religious challenges. The Franciscan experience provides an important element in the tapestry of the American experience. Readers of this work will learn about the Franciscan priest who persuaded his fellow Polish immigrants to engage in an ill-fated settlement experiment in Texas. They will learn about Franciscan efforts to evangelize Native Americans, the Menominee at Keshena, Wisconsin, utilizing catechetical material in the natives' language. Readers will become acquainted with one of the first Italian churches in New York City, St. Anthony of Padua, where a multiethnic parish gave rise to disputes over leadership in the community. In Los Angeles, the parish of St. Lawrence of Brindisi is highlighted, providing an exploration of ministry to an impoverished community located near the epicenter of the 1965 Watts riots. And readers will be transported to the serene setting of rural northern Ohio where a Marian shrine has been the site of dozens of claimed miraculous healings. While the portraits of fourteen Franciscan parishes contained in this work are diverse - geographically, ethnically, and chronologically - they collectively witness to the distinctiveness of the Franciscan charism of embracing poverty, fostering community, offering reconciliation, and serving those on society's margins. Their story is part of the American story.

Book Synopsis Religion and Public Discourse in an Age of Transition by : Geoffrey Cameron
Download or read book Religion and Public Discourse in an Age of Transition written by Geoffrey Cameron and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology, tourism, politics, and law have connected human beings around the world more closely than ever before, but this closeness has, paradoxically, given rise to fear, distrust, and misunderstanding between nation-states and religions. In light of the tensions and conflicts that arise from these complex relationships, many search for ways to find peace and understanding through a “global public sphere.” There citizens can deliberate on issues of worldwide concern. Their voices can be heard by institutions able to translate public opinion into public policy that embraces more than simply the interests and ideas of the wealthy and the empowered. Contributors to this volume address various aspects of this challenge within the context of Bahá’í thought and practice, whose goal is to lay the foundations for a new world civilization that harmonizes the spiritual and material aspects of human existence. Bahá’í teachings view religion as a source of enduring insight that can enable humanity to repair and transcend patterns of disunity, to foster justice within the structures of society, and to advance the cause of peace. Accordingly, religion can and ought to play a role in the broader project of creating a pattern of public discourse capable of supporting humanity’s transition to the next stage in its collective development. The essays in this book make novel contributions to the growing literature on post-secularism and on religion and the public sphere. The authors additionally present new areas of inquiry for future research on the Bahá’í faith.

Download or read book Transitions written by Tania Zittoun and published by IAP. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do young people do with the novels they read, the films they see, the music they hear and sing? How do these cultural products act as ‘symbolic resources’ in the process of development? And what can we, as researchers, learn by studying people’s uses of fiction? This monograph approaches development through the study of transitions and the processes of exploration that follow ruptures in people’s lives. Specifically, it examines young people’s symbolic responsibility as they have to choose among the wide range of cultural products societies exposes them to. The book thus examines the books, films and music that young people mobilize when they need to redefine their identity, learn informal know-how, or have to confer meaning to what happens to them in transitions. The book has a theoretical scope. It draws on cultural psychology and psychoanalysis to formulate the importance of semiotic mediation in thinking, feeling and acting. Its main contribution is to propose a model for analyzing uses of symbolic resources, such as books and films, in everyday life. It thus shows how uses of symbolic resources can enable new forms of experiences and conduct. It finally highlights social and personal conditions that might facilitate or hinder developmental uses of symbolic resources. The book, based on in-depth case studies, is addressed to scholars, professional and students in the fields of youth, culture and the media, cultural and developmental psychology, and life-long education.
