Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THIS CRITIQUE OF THE LEGACY OF THE Enlightenment for Christian theology, Colin Gunton focuses on the concepts of truth, freedom, and faith. He argues that in these areas the emphasis of Enlightenment thought on knowledge which is observable and objective has alienated us from understanding or believing in whatever cannot be seen or scientifically deduced, and cut us off from reality, form ourselves, and form God. But the trinitarian structure of Christian belief contains within itself the resources to overcome this alienation and achieve an integrated perspective. Gunton finds in the doctrine of the Trinity--especially in Jesus Christ, in whom the mysterious and divine joined the physical and observable--a way to give validity both to scientific frames of thought and to religious belief.

Book excerpt: Now a Washington Post bestseller. Respected conservative journalist and commentator Timothy P. Carney continues the conversation begun with Hillbilly Elegy and the classic Bowling Alone in this hard-hitting analysis that identifies the true factor behind the decline of the American dream: it is not purely the result of economics as the left claims, but the collapse of the institutions that made us successful, including marriage, church, and civic life. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump proclaimed, “the American dream is dead,” and this message resonated across the country. Why do so many people believe that the American dream is no longer within reach? Growing inequality, stubborn pockets of immobility, rising rates of deadly addiction, the increasing and troubling fact that where you start determines where you end up, heightening political strife—these are the disturbing realities threatening ordinary American lives today. The standard accounts pointed to economic problems among the working class, but the root was a cultural collapse: While the educated and wealthy elites still enjoy strong communities, most blue-collar Americans lack strong communities and institutions that bind them to their neighbors. And outside of the elites, the central American institution has been religion That is, it’s not the factory closings that have torn us apart; it’s the church closings. The dissolution of our most cherished institutions—nuclear families, places of worship, civic organizations—has not only divided us, but eroded our sense of worth, belief in opportunity, and connection to one another. In Abandoned America, Carney visits all corners of America, from the dim country bars of Southwestern Pennsylvania., to the bustling Mormon wards of Salt Lake City, and explains the most important data and research to demonstrate how the social connection is the great divide in America. He shows that Trump’s surprising victory was the most visible symptom of this deep-seated problem. In addition to his detailed exploration of how a range of societal changes have, in tandem, damaged us, Carney provides a framework that will lead us back out of a lonely, modern wilderness.

This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BOOK OF JOB has attracted the attention of exegetes and theologians for centuries. Job, the hero of this book, suffers undeservedly, and the consequences of his affl iction are manifold. Among his sufferings are a progressive alienation from his social network, his friends, and even his closest family leading to his total social breakdown despite his struggle for reintegration into society. Th is social disorientation reaches its first climax in chap. 19, particularly in 19:13- 22, where Job claims that everyone has abandoned him. Nowhere else in the Book of Job does Job express this social alienation as strongly as in 19:13-22. Job strongly believed that he had done nothing wrong to deserve his fate; yet, Israel's theodicy held that God rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked. His family, friends, and loved ones reinforce that notion by making judgments on behalf of God. His personal suffering is thus made even more unbearable by those who loved him. Physical and mental suffering is not always, as it now emerges in the Book of Job, a punishment from God, and the social rejection the sufferer goes through in the society is ethically wrong and unjustified. The book examines how social isolation aggravates the suffering of Job, how the concept of "deed and consequence" relates to the suffering of Job, and what theological solution the author of the Book of Job suggests.

Download or read book Feuerbach and the Interpretation of Religion written by Van A. Harvey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ludwig Feuerbach is traditionally regarded as a significant but transitional figure in the development of nineteenth-century German thought. Readings of Feuerbach's The Essence of Christianity tend to focus on those features which made it seem liberating to the Young Hegelians: namely, its criticism of reification as abstraction, and its interpretation of religion as alienation. In this book, Van Harvey claims that this is a limited and inadequate view of Feuerbach's work, especially of his critique of religion. The author argues that Feuerbach's philosophical development led him to a much more complex and interesting theory of religion which he expounded in works which have been virtually ignored hitherto. By exploring these works, Harvey gives them a significant contemporary re-statement, and brings Feuerbach into conversation with a number of modern theorists of religion.

Download or read book The Theology of the Cross and Marx's Anthropology written by Winston D. Persaud and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-09-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fascinating, major articulation of a contemporary theology of the cross in response to the soteriological challenge of Karl Marx's anthropological 'Weltanschauung.' The author focuses primarily on the much neglected 'Early Writings' (1844 Manuscripts), in which Marx himself provides a necessary humanistic critique of officialÓ Marxism. The theology of the cross, which the author articulates, is centered in Luther's 'theologia crucis,' Moltmann's crucified God,Ó and Latin American (liberation) theology's divine identification and solidarity with the poor and oppressed.Ó Specifically, the context of the work is the Caribbean and the Americas.
