Book Synopsis Chance or Purpose? by : Christoph Schoenborn
Download or read book Chance or Purpose? written by Christoph Schoenborn and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardinal Christoph Schönborn's article on evolution and creation in The New York Times launched an international controversy. Critics charged him with biblical literalism and 'creationism'. In this book, Cardinal Schönborn responds to his critics by tackling the hard questions with a carefully reasoned "theology of creation". Can we still speak intelligently of the world as 'creation' and affirm the existence of the Creator, or is God a 'delusion'? How should an informed believer read Genesis? If God exists, why is there so much injustice and suffering? Are human beings a part of nature or elevated above it? What is man's destiny? Is everything a matter of chance or can we discern purpose in human existence? In his treatment of evolution, Cardinal Schönborn distinguishes the biological theory from 'evolutionism', the ideology that tries to reduce all of reality to mindless, meaningless processes. He argues that science and a rationally grounded faith are not at odds and that what many people represent as 'science' is really a set of philosophical positions that will not withstand critical scrutiny. Chance or Purpose? directly raises the philosophical and theological issues many scientists today overlook or ignore. The result is a vigorous, frank dialogue that acknowledges the respective insights of the philosopher, the theologian and the scientist, but which calls on them to listen and to learn from each another.

Book Synopsis Creation Regained by : Albert M. Wolters
Download or read book Creation Regained written by Albert M. Wolters and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: with a Postcript coauthored by Michael W. Goheen In print for two decades and translated into eight languages, Albert Wolters's classic formulation of an integrated Christian worldview has been revised and expanded to reach new readers beyond the generation that has already benefited from this clear, concise proposal for transcending the false dichotomy between sacred and secular. Wolters begins by defining the nature and scope of a worldview, distinguishing it from philosophy and theology. He then outlines a Reformed analysis of the three basic categories in human history -- creation, fall, and redemption -- arguing that while the fall reaches into every corner of the world, Christians are called to participate in Christ's redemption of all creation. This Twentieth Anniversary edition features a new concluding chapter, coauthored with Michael Goheen, that helpfully places the discussion of worldview in a broader narrative and missional context.

Book Synopsis God's Goal In Creation by : Derek J White
Download or read book God's Goal In Creation written by Derek J White and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that an omnipotent and benevolent deity would have created a universe in which physical laws dictate outcomes that necessarily produce deleterious effects on sentient creatures 'begs the question' of omnipotence. A biosphere in which predation, parasitism, plague etc. prevail brings into question both omnipotence and benevolence. And causes consternation among the alleged 'brights' of the world who deny the existence of any other 'mind' than that of naturalism or monism. The apostle Paul refers to a creation that is 'groaning' (Romans 8)-that the creation had been subjugated, by its creator and sustainer (not by natural forces) to a state of affairs that is nothing like the best possible world-even 'Heaven'. 'God's Goal in Creation' offers a fresh perspective on the reason for God's subjugation of the creation, for the problem of Evil as well as the perceived problem of an evolutionary system that is often labeled as 'Natural Evil'. God is 'The Good'. Derek J. White (2019)

Book Synopsis The New Creation and the Storyline of Scripture by : Frank Thielman
Download or read book The New Creation and the Storyline of Scripture written by Frank Thielman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Biblical Theology of the New Creation from Genesis to Revelation "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God." — Revelation 21:3 The Bible begins with the story of one perfectly good God creating a perfectly good universe. Forming two perfectly good human beings in his own image—Adam and Eve—was the crown jewel of his creative expression. Through humanity's sin, however, God's creation fell into a fallen state—yet he promised to bring restoration. In this book, Frank Thielman traces the theme of the new creation through the Bible, beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation. He shows us that at every turn, God invites his people to be a "kingdom of priests" (Exodus 19:6), exemplifying the new creation to a needy and watching world until the return of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is lifeaccording to the purpose of creation? What Makes a Christianity's life truly Happy? Who is the God of The Christianity? Everyone wants to live a happy life - that is why he strives again wealth,honor, power, family, academic achievment, good healty, etc...But what one obtains from these things of the world is like mirage. The worldly happiness is only transitory and not of eternal nature. Human beings strive to grasp this elusive happiness only to fall down exhausted. At the end of the day when man is about to depart this life, he realizes and confesses that "life is futile." Then what makes Christian's life truly happy? The answer is to live according to the Creator's purpose oc creation. God created the world so that He will receive praise and glory. Since the purpose of creating us was such, we human beings can only be truly happy when we live according to this purpose of creation. Because this happiness is directly given by our Creator God, this joy from God is beyond human expression, and it is great, profound and eternal. Indonesia translation Setiap orang ingin hidup bahagia, itulah sebabnya ia berjuan untuk mendapatkan kekayaan, kehormatan, kekuasaan, keluarga, prestasi akademik, kesehatan yang baik, dan sebagainya. Tetapi seseorang yang mendapatkan hal-hal dari dunia ini adalah seperti khayalan belaka. Kebahagian dunia ini hanya bersifat sementara dan tidak abadi. Manusia berjuang untuk mendapatkan kebahagian semu tersebut, dan mereka akan menjadi penat/lelah. Pada akhirnya ketika manusia terpisah dari hidupnya, dia menyadari dan mengakui bahwa :hidup adalah sia-sia." Jadi apa yang membuat hidup seorang Kristen benar-benar bahagia? Jawabannya adalah hidup menurut tujuan penciptaan Sang Pencipta. Allah menciptakandunia agar Dia menerima pujian dan kemulian. Karena tujuan menciptakan kita adalah seperti iyu, kita manusia hanya bisa menjadi benar-benar bahagia ketika hidup menurut tujuan penciptaan. Karena kebahagian in secara langsung diberikan oleh Allah Sang Pencipta kita, sukacita ini dari Allah melebihi segala ekspresi manusia, dan itu sangat besar, dalam dan abadi.

Book Synopsis Man, the Image of God by : Cardinal Christoph Sch?nborn
Download or read book Man, the Image of God written by Cardinal Christoph Sch?nborn and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God created man in his own image, and the profound implications of this assertion are the subject of this book. Drawing on philosophy, theology, science, Scripture and art, Cardinal Schnborn reflects on man as the greatest of Gods creatures and on the Christian understanding of his incomparable dignity that flows from this truth. According to the Christian faith, all the works of God converge toward man, and find their goal in him. The world was made for man, and man was made for God. This anthropocentrism resounds like good news at a time when many find it hard to believe in Gods special and personal providence for man. It is good news, indeed, that man has worth and his life has meaning because God bears an infinite love for him a love which is the very origin of creation and is the reason for the work of redemption. Among the topics Cardinal Schonborn addresses are: Christ-the Loveliest of Men, The Exaltation of Man, The Basis of Mans Dignity, Faith in Art, God with a Human Face.
