Book Synopsis Realism and Religion by : Michael Scott
Download or read book Realism and Religion written by Michael Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws together a distinguished group of philosophers and theologians to present new thinking on realism and religion. The religious realism/antirealism debate concerns the questions of God’s independence from human beings, the nature of religious truth and our access to religious truths. Although both philosophers and theologians have written on these subjects, there has been little sustained investigation into these issues akin to that found in comparable areas of research such as ethics or the philosophy of science. In addition, the absence of any agreed approach to the problem underlines both the need for fresh thought on it and the fruitfulness of this area for further research. The editors’ introduction sets the context of the realism debate, traces connections amongst the essays which follow, and proposes lines for future development and enquiry. The contributors present a variety of contrasting positions on key issues in the religious realism debate and each opens up new and important themes. Gordon Kaufman, Peter Lipton and Simon Blackburn provide the opening chapters and the context for the collection; Alexander Bird, John Hare, Graham Oppy and Nick Trakakis, Merold Westphal, and John Webster explore topics that are central to the debate. This volume of original essays will both introduce newcomers to the field and suggest new lines of research for those already familiar with it.

Book Synopsis Christian Fiction and Religious Realism in the Novels of Dostoevsky by : William Peter van den Bercken
Download or read book Christian Fiction and Religious Realism in the Novels of Dostoevsky written by William Peter van den Bercken and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a literary analysis and theological evaluation of the Christian themes in the five great novels of Dostoevsky - 'Crime and Punishment', 'The Idiot', 'The Adolescent', 'The Devils' and 'The Brothers Karamazov'. Dostoevsky's ambiguous treatment of religious issues in his literary works strongly differs from the slavophile Orthodoxy of his journalistic writings. In the novels Dostoevsky deals with Christian basic values, which are presented via a unique tension between the fictionality of the Christian characters and the readers' experience of the existential reality of their religious problems. This study is based on a balanced method of literary analysis and theological evaluation of the texts, avoiding free theological association as well as hermeneutical mixing with the non-literary writings of Dostoevsky. The study starts by discussing the main recent studies of Dostoevsky's religion. It then describes Dostoevsky's original literary method in dealing with religious issues - his use of paradoxes, contradictions and irony. 'Christian Fiction and Religious Realism in the Novels of Dostoevsky' ultimately deconstructs Dostoevsky as an Orthodox writer, and reveals that the Christian themes in his novels are not ecclesiastical or confessionally theological ones, but instead are expressions of a fundamentally Christian anthropology and biblical ethics.
Book Synopsis The Theology of Ramanuja by : C. J. Bartley
Download or read book The Theology of Ramanuja written by C. J. Bartley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first attempt to understand Ramanuja in the context of his religious and philosophical tradition. It is the only work which establishes his indebtedness to his immediate predecessor Yamuna and which identifies his actual opponents. It is accordingly a contribution to the wider history of classical Indian thought and not just a consideration of a single individual and his tradition.

Book Synopsis Religion and the Liberal State in Niebuhr's Christian Realism by : Christoph Rohde
Download or read book Religion and the Liberal State in Niebuhr's Christian Realism written by Christoph Rohde and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book intends to analyze Reinhold Niebuhr's understanding of the state in his Christian Realism. Although his overall notion was thoroughly analyzed in different disciplines and respects, this specific focus can be diagnosed as a lacuna. The task of this book is to develop a hypothesis in terms of under what political, social, organizational or intellectual context Niebuhr made use of what definition of the state. When did he support the extension of state power (e. g. in war times, during economic crisis) and when did he criticize tendencies toward autocratic structures inside Western style democracies?

Book Synopsis God in the Act of Reference by : Erica Appelros
Download or read book God in the Act of Reference written by Erica Appelros and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To claim to believe in God without accepting that God exists independently of human minds would mean reducing God to merely a human construct, thus not real enough for being the object of religious worship. This book sets out to challenge this common view on existence and religious belief. Arguing from concrete examples of language use in children's make-believe play and other ordinary situations, Erica Appelros suggests that what makes us consider something to be real involves our capacities to relate to our surroundings - not only on grounds of their physical characteristics but also on grounds of human construction. This book makes a substantial contribution to the contemporary debate within philosophy of religion on religious realism and non-realism, and suggests innovative and constructive solutions to the perennial philosophical and religious issue of what is meant by talking about God and God's existence.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering Christian Realism by : James E. Hassell
Download or read book Rediscovering Christian Realism written by James E. Hassell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there were more helpful ways to deal with the increasing polarization and division within our society? What if we could finally overcome the warring between fundamentalists and liberals? In Rediscovering Christian Realism, James Hassell highlights some time-tested and proven methods for Christians both to develop and utilize consecrated common sense. Christian realism is not so much of a program as it is both a way of accepting our sinful humanity and highlighting the Spirit-led way of Jesus. Hassell therefore describes ways to temper our idealism without giving into cynicism, outlining what he calls "The Balanced Approach." The Balanced Approach comes from a synthesis of the best work of past Christian realists such as Reinhold and Richard Niebuhr, Emil Brunner, Paul Tillich, John C. Bennet, and others. Hassell has researched and described their insights especially for contemporary application in the real-world events of the twenty-first century. This book is designed especially for those Christians who may find themselves stuck in how to live out their faith more boldly both in the church fellowship and in the public square.
Book Synopsis The Future of Christian Realism by : Dallas Gingles
Download or read book The Future of Christian Realism written by Dallas Gingles and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world’s most developed democracies, anxiety about the future of democracy is palpable. The tension between moral aspiration and moral despair has reached a point of crisis. Christian realism arose during a similar time of crisis, when Reinhold Niebuhr used the insights of the Christian tradition to interpret the clash between democracy and totalitarianism. Beginning with Robin Lovin’s account of Christian realism as a nuanced blend of theological, moral, and political realisms, The Future of Christian Realism addresses fundamental topics in theology, ethics, and politics. The contributors come from different traditions, span five continents, and together present a case for the continuing relevance of Christian realism. By paying close attention to many of the most pressing moral challenges facing societies today, the authors illustrate and evaluate the enduring relevance of Christian realism.
