Book Synopsis The Eternal Current by : Aaron Niequist
Download or read book The Eternal Current written by Aaron Niequist and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A call for Christians to move past the shallows of idealized beliefs and into a deeper, more vibrant, beatitude-like faith rooted in sacred practices and intimate experiences with God. When the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a wider vision for worship and community. In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way "practice-based faith." This book is about loving one's faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer. By adopting some new spiritual practices, it is possible to learn to swim again with a renewed sense of vigor and divine purpose.

Book Synopsis Musical Scores and the Eternal Present by : Chiara Bertoglio
Download or read book Musical Scores and the Eternal Present written by Chiara Bertoglio and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is played and heard in time, yet it is also embodied in space by musical scores. The observation of a musical score turns time into space and allows musicians to embrace the flow of time in a single glance. This experience constitutes a symbol for the Eternal Present, the simultaneous knowledge of all time outside time. This book analyzes the implications of this view through a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, linking theology, philosophy, literature, and music. It also studies how this theme has been foreshadowed in the writings of Dante and J. R. R. Tolkien, demonstrating the connections between their masterpieces and the aesthetics of their times. The result is a fascinating itinerary through the history of culture, thought, and music, but also a deeply theological and spiritual experience.
Book Synopsis The Eternal Present, Volume I by : Sigfried Giedion
Download or read book The Eternal Present, Volume I written by Sigfried Giedion and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking reevaluation of paleolithic art through the lens of modernism, from the acclaimed historian of art and architecture In The Beginnings of Art, Sigfried Giedion, best known as a historian of architecture, shifts his attention to art and its very origins. Breaking with an earlier, materialistic approach, he explores paleolithic art by bringing abstraction, transparency, and simultaneity into play as modern art has revealed them anew. Focusing on the dual concepts of constancy and change, he examines paleolithic paintings, engravings, and sculpture, as well as modern art and recent examples of “primitive art.” He argues that the two keys to the meaning of prehistoric art are the symbol, portraying reality before reality exists, and the animal as humankind’s superior in the unified primordial world in which both human and animal were embedded. The result is a highly original and important study of prehistoric art.

Download or read book The Eternal Present, Volume II written by Sigfried Giedion and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original account of ancient Egyptian and Sumerian architecture from the acclaimed architectural historian In The Beginnings of Architecture, Sigfried Giedion examines the architecture of ancient Egypt and Sumer. These early builders expressed an attitude of immense force when they confronted their structures with open sky. Giedion argues that it was during these periods that the problem of constancy and change flared up with an intensity unknown in any other period of history, and resolved eventually into the first architectural space conception, the automatic, psychic recording of the visual environment.

Book Synopsis God, Human, Animal, Machine by : Meghan O'Gieblyn
Download or read book God, Human, Animal, Machine written by Meghan O'Gieblyn and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strikingly original exploration of what it might mean to be authentically human in the age of artificial intelligence, from the author of the critically-acclaimed Interior States. • "At times personal, at times philosophical, with a bracing mixture of openness and skepticism, it speaks thoughtfully and articulately to the most crucial issues awaiting our future." —Phillip Lopate “[A] truly fantastic book.”—Ezra Klein For most of human history the world was a magical and enchanted place ruled by forces beyond our understanding. The rise of science and Descartes's division of mind from world made materialism our ruling paradigm, in the process asking whether our own consciousness—i.e., souls—might be illusions. Now the inexorable rise of technology, with artificial intelligences that surpass our comprehension and control, and the spread of digital metaphors for self-understanding, the core questions of existence—identity, knowledge, the very nature and purpose of life itself—urgently require rethinking. Meghan O'Gieblyn tackles this challenge with philosophical rigor, intellectual reach, essayistic verve, refreshing originality, and an ironic sense of contradiction. She draws deeply and sometimes humorously from her own personal experience as a formerly religious believer still haunted by questions of faith, and she serves as the best possible guide to navigating the territory we are all entering.

Book Synopsis The Eternal Frontier by : Tim Flannery
Download or read book The Eternal Frontier written by Tim Flannery and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive history of the continent, “full of engaging and attention-catching information about North America’s geology, climate, and paleontology” (The Washington Post Book World). Here, “the rock star of modern science” tells the unforgettable story of the geological and biological evolution of the North American continent, from the time of the asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago to the present day (Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel). Flannery describes the development of North America’s deciduous forests and other flora, and tracks the migrations of various animals to and from Europe, Asia, and South America, showing how plant and animal species have either adapted or become extinct. The story spans the massive changes wrought by the ice ages and the coming of the Native Americans. It continues right up to the present, covering the deforestation of the Northeast, the decimation of the buffalo, and other consequences of frontier settlement and the industrial development of the United States. This is science writing at its very best—both an engrossing narrative and a scholarly trove of information that “will forever change your perspective on the North American continent” (The New York Review of Books).

Book Synopsis Time and Despondency by : Nicole M. Roccas
Download or read book Time and Despondency written by Nicole M. Roccas and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Idleness. Apathy. Restlessness. Procrastination. These are symptoms, of what early Christian theologians called despondency (acedia), a spiritual sickness rooted in a lack of care or effort. A condition as old as the ancients, despondency thrives in today¿s culture of leisure, anxiety, and digital distraction. Time and Despondency is a penetrating synthesis of ancient theology, spiritual memoir, and self-help practicality. It envisions despondency as the extension of a broken relationship with the experience of time. Driven by the fear of death and the anxiety of living, despondency drives us to abandon the present moment, forsaking the only temporal realm in which we have true fellowship with Christ. The remedies offered by time-honored Christian thinkers for this predicament constitute not only an antidote to despondency but also stepping stones back to the present moment. In regaining the sacredness of time, we re-encounter the Resurrection of Christ in the dark and restless moments of our lives.

Book Synopsis Jesus Christ by : Jacob Oguntomilade, PH.D., Th.D.
Download or read book Jesus Christ written by Jacob Oguntomilade, PH.D., Th.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his authorship of the current book "Jesus Christ: The Eternal Rock of Ages," Prof. Jacob Oguntomilade brought to the fore the analytical nature of his primary profession in Engineering; additional his knowledge of Science, Geography, Philosophy and Theology did much to enhance the quality of the work. His main thrust is the structural analogy these where he uses the Earth's central crust to demonstrate successfully analogously the many faceted eternal truths of the Lord Jesus Christ as foundational, fundamental, crucial, and germaine respectively to Creation, to Covenants, to Salvation, to the Jesus revolutionary History, to Biblical History, to Church History as well as World History. The approach is excitingly unique very thrilling, and most delightful. The very peak of the presentation occurs in Chapters Seven and Eight where the seemingly intimidating illustrations bring clarity of understanding to the reader as it makes the work not only classical and analytical, but also demonstrative and comparative as well as utterly convincing that the Lord Jesus Christ is the spiritual Eternal Rock of all Ages. Intellectualism and Science must not be perceived as always rebelling against God; rather it is here used to edify the scriptural truth which God has revealed for the sanctification and salvation of man. Here Science is used not to tamper with the scriptural truth in the interest of any perceived human opinion; and intellectualism is not here substituting the folly of man for the wisdom of God. Indeed here the knowledge of Engineering and Structures has been utilized to bring glory to God. Earlier in the book Prof. Oguntomilade has clearly highlighted the three stages of the existence of the Lord Jesus: his pre-incarnate existence form eternal past; 33years on earth which is part of his incarnated, existence, and the post resurrection existence which infinitely extends to New Jerusalem.
