Book Synopsis Portraits of the Righteous in the Psalms by : Daniel C. Owens
Download or read book Portraits of the Righteous in the Psalms written by Daniel C. Owens and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What have the Psalms to do with ethics? Readers prize the Psalter for its richly theological prayers, but into these prayers are woven a variety of ethical issues. This book explores the ethics of the Psalter by examining the four portraits of the righteous person that punctuate Book I. It begins by studying these psalms as individual compositions and then employs both the canonical approach and dialogic criticism to identify the complex relationship between the portraits' vision of the righteous life and its outcome. Does the righteous person enjoy security and the good life? The answer may be surprising, but joining the psalmist on the rocky path of the interface of faith and experience is certain to prove a formative experience.
Book Synopsis Political Theology and Islam by : Paul L. Heck
Download or read book Political Theology and Islam written by Paul L. Heck and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul L. Heck’s Political Theology and Islam offers a sophisticated and comprehensive analysis of sovereignty in Islamic society, beginning with the origins of Islam and extending to the present. This wide-ranging study sets out to answer an unassumingly tricky question: What is politics in Islam? Paul L. Heck’s answer takes the form of a close analysis of sovereignty across Islamic history, approaching this concept from the perspective of political theology. As he illustrates, the history of politics in Islam is best understood as an ongoing struggle for a moral order between those who occupy positions of rulership and religious voices that communicate the ethics of Islam and educate the public in their religious and moral devotions. In this sense, sovereignty in Islam is split between ruling powers and pious communities, whose interactions range from close cooperation to outright competition. Heck shows that it is precisely through these interactions that Islamic conceptions of sovereignty are constructed and negotiated. Political Theology and Islam’s first section spells out the concepts and methods for the study of politics in Islam as a struggle for a moral order, one not only involving varied claims to sovereignty but also a general determination to realize the righteousness of Islam that stands at the heart of the message that the Prophet Muhammad conveyed to his society in seventh-century Arabia. The following sections demonstrate, through examples from both the past and today’s worldwide Muslim community, the diverse ways in which the umma, the community of Muslims, has struggled for a moral order that recalls its prophetic message. Deftly moving in various political theaters and through a wide range of intellectual traditions, Heck’s book will emerge as a touchstone of scholarship in the field of Muslim politics and intellectual thought.

Book Synopsis World Africans, Preeminent in Humanity: Conversations and Actions by : Alfred Phillips Jr.
Download or read book World Africans, Preeminent in Humanity: Conversations and Actions written by Alfred Phillips Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are you? How you see yourself may determine what you get out of reading this book. If you see yourself as an Abrahamic-myth believer (Jew, Christian, and Muslim), then you may revile this book. If you see yourself as a person of faith, you may simply think that I am grossly mistaken. If you see yourself as one for whom world-African lives matter, you may see this book as worthwhile. I regard myself as a thinking free man first, a world African second, and a citizen of the US third. I am also a father of five excellent sons, a physicist-scientist, a marathoner, a man fortunate to have loved a few women with occasional reciprocity, and a male whose loving parents wanted to have me. This work presents a self-reliant way forward for world-African people. It is based upon a new vision for world Africans, a world-African government, world-African green businesses, and the creation of scientific spirituality. There are two major impediments world Africans face: first, exploitation by white people, and second, the Abrahamic-myth Belief System (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Unfortunately, many world Africans have completely bought into these mutually warring religions. This work offers ways to overcome these two impediments. I believe that world Africans, often with US African initiatives, can drive the world positively. Some of us are beginning to realize how we see ourselves matters in the matter of our lives and the matters we courageously try to realize.
Book Synopsis Source-Ken World (Black) Men’S Think Book by : Alfred Phillips Jr.
Download or read book Source-Ken World (Black) Men’S Think Book written by Alfred Phillips Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brothers, two hundred thousand years ago, African people were the culmination of the co-creation by Hominins and Nature in Africa. This co-creation happened over six million years. Fifty to sixty thousand years ago, African people left Africa, migrated around the Earth, and co-created humanity. (What I write here and what was presented in the 2015 PBS television series, First Peoples, represents the same science.) Even now African people have more genetically diversity than the rest of humanity. African people in Africa were the creators of language, art, science, mathematics, technology . . . all human activities. Specifically African people created law and monotheism. The Abrahamic-Myth belief systems (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) perverted these African beliefs. The Abrahamic system used the Ham-Noah myth to contend that Africans were cursed. Although this myth was created and interpreted by Jews, this myth was acted on by Arabs (Islamists) and Europeans (Christians) resulting in fourteen hundred years of African enslavement. Starting in the 1700s, primarily World African men led a consciousness change. Similar consciousness changes climaxed in the 1860s and the 1960s. Ensuing actions reduced African enslavement over the nineteenth century and increased some rights in the twentieth century. Yet the sustained attacks by Europeans and Arabs still impact World Africans. The counter to these attacks is a principle-based change-of-consciousness. World African can realize that they are Preeminent in Nature. World Africans can heal themselves and stimulate the rest of humanity thereby. This book presents background and a set of questions for black men to think about. The test will be whether significant positive actions results from their thoughts. The book, STEM: Source-Ken World Transmutations and Equitocracy for Mankind, by this author (Xlibris-2015) provides background for this work.
Book Synopsis Warding Off Evil by : Michael J. Morris
Download or read book Warding Off Evil written by Michael J. Morris and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Michael J. Morris examines aspects of synoptic gospel demonology; specifically, human responses to demonic evil. It is clear that early Christian demonology can be more fully understood against the background of early Jewish traditions. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, for instance, there are two fundamental ways by which protection against demons is sought. The first anti-demonic method is "exorcism," and the second is characterized by its preventative nature and is typically referred to as "apotropaism." Although many contributions have been made on the topic of exorcism in the gospels, less attention has been paid to the presence of apotropaic features in the gospel texts. Therefore, Michael J. Morris offers a timely examination of apotropaic tradition in early Judaism and its significance for demonological material in the synoptic gospels.
Book Synopsis The Bible in History by : David W. Kling
Download or read book The Bible in History written by David W. Kling and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 15 years after its original publication The Bible in History remains an essential examination of the symbiotic relationship between Scripture and the social and cultural contexts shaping its interpretation. David W. Kling traces the fascinating story of how specific biblicaltexts-sometimes a single verse, other times a selection of verses or chapters, even books-have at various times emerged to be the inspiration of movements that have changed the course of history. Episodes range from Anthony's call to the desert and a life of monasticism after hearing Jesus'sdirective to the "rich young rule" to give up his possessions, to the Anabaptists non-violent ethic in following Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, to the varied applications of the exodus motif in African American history.This revised and expanded second edition adds two new chapters. The first examines the text in Matthew 28:18-20 and considers the multitudinous interpretations before, during, and after the text emerged as the iconic "Great Commission" of missionary motivation in the modern period. The secondassesses those biblical texts that encompass the divisive and ongoing issue of male homosexuality. Both chapters engage the question of, "how the texts have shaped the times," but, as Kling argues, the "times" have also exerted an enormous impact on shaping the interpretation of the texts, andhence, on the continuing disputes over the meaning of those texts.
Book Synopsis Luther in English by : Michael S. Whiting
Download or read book Luther in English written by Michael S. Whiting and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies have increasingly downplayed, and in a few cases even wholly denied, the influence of Martin Luther's theology of Law and Gospel on early English evangelicals such as William Tyndale. The impact of a late medieval Augustinian renaissance, Erasmian Humanism, the Reformed tradition, and Lollardy have all but eclipsed the more central role once attributed to Luther. Whiting reexamines these claims with a thorough reevaluation of Luther's theology of Law and Gospel in its historical context spanning twenty-five years, something entirely lacking in all previous studies. Based on extensive research in the primary sources, with acute attention to the larger historical narrative and in dialogue with secondary scholarship, Whiting argues that scholars have often oversimplified Luther's theology of Law and Gospel and have thus wrongly diminished his very significant, even principal, influence upon first-generation evangelicals William Tyndale, John Frith, and Robert Barnes during the English Reformation of the 1520s and 30s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From their home bases in Idaho and neighboring areas of the Northwest, organizations such as the Order, the Aryan Nations Church, the Posse Comitatus, and the Golden Mean Society have drawn national attention and spread the gospel of a “constitutionally pure, Christian homeland.” For the reader who knows these groups only from a selection of inflammatory quotes and violent deeds, this compelling work presents the first disciplined exploration of the backgrounds and belief systems of the Christian patriot movement. Using information gathered from interviews and direct observation of patriot gatherings, Aho replaces the stereotype of solitary crazies from the fringes of society with more complex and disturbing realities.

Book Synopsis Virtue and the Common Good by : Mohammed Nekroumi
Download or read book Virtue and the Common Good written by Mohammed Nekroumi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtue and the Common Good: Hermeneutic Foundations of aš-Šāṭibī's Ethical Philosophy arose as a response to the urgent need for epistemological research on the hermeneutic foundations of Islamic ethical and moral theory that has resulted from the current period of upheaval in Islamic theology. Choosing a late-medieval work of legal theory, namely, Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm ibn Mūsā aš-Šāṭibī's (d. 790/1388) al-Muwāfaqāt, as the point of departure, locates this study's discussion methodologically and theoretically in the genealogical process of re-reading and reconstructing Islamic thinking in modernity from the perspectives of contemporary philosophy of ethics. Thus, profoundly reflecting on modern understanding and interpretation of fundamental theological concepts in the Islamic legal- and moral theory becomes unavoidable.
Book Synopsis The Bhishma Way by : N Balasubramanian

Who else but Bhishma Pitamah then to the rescue of the modern-day manager, politician or bureaucrat! In the epic, Bhishma is the upholder of truth and dharma, his life shaped by the difficult choices he makes. He isn’t always infallible, but even where his decisions are questionable, he serves as a role model. Prof. N. Balasubramanian uses this powerful figure and his selfless values as a guide to make the right choices in The Bhishma Way. He discusses the importance of values, dharma, truth, justice and governance in businesses and governments. Analyses of real-life cases—among them, Union Carbide and the Bhopal gas tragedy, James Hardie and asbestos in Australia, and Ok Tedi in Papua New Guinea—complement the mythological stories and insightful anecdotes in this illuminating and thought-provoking book. This serves as an instructive read for anyone striving for a higher moral code in day-to-day decision-making and leadership.
