Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are human embryos so important to many Christians? What does theology say concerning the moral status of these embryos? Answers to these questions can only be obtained by considering the manner in which Christian theology understands the great theme of the image of God. This book examines the most important aspects in which this image, and the related Christian notion of personhood, can be used in the context of theological arguments relating to the moral status of the human embryo. Thoughtful in approach and ecumenical in perspective, the author combines a thorough knowledge of the science of embryology with a broad knowledge of the theological implications.

Book excerpt: Theologian Ian McFarland claims that Christians have mainly misappropriated the "image of God" language for 2000 years and thereby missed a rich resource for our knowledge of God. What, then, does it mean to say that we are made in God's image, or that Christ is the very image or prototype of God? Rather than referring to some germinal divine element in humans, such as reason, McFarland claims that the image of God in us tells us something about God and how we know God. It tells us that God, though not identical with us, communicates Godself to us in creative love, in a way that offers precious clues about God's transcendence, immanence, triune life, self-disclosure, incarnation, and intentions for human life. Too, we "learn from Jesus something new about God." Gathered as Christ's body, the church too images God and sets us on a quest to discern the image of God in Christ's incarnate body. McFarland's careful and exacting work builds from this kernel a powerful Christian vision of God's life and our own destiny in Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imago Trinitatis contributes to the contemporary task of seeking to retrieve the central Christian symbol of the triune God. It interfaces the trinitarian theology of Catherine LaCugna and new anthropological models based on women's interpreted experience of relationality offered by feminist theologians, especially the vision of the post-patriarchal self of Catherine Keller, in order to delineate a theological conception of the human person as communion. By reinterpreting imago Dei as imago Trinitatis, Mark Medley offers a proposal towards claiming that a trinitarian-feminist theological anthropology understands human personhood as being formed and transformed in one's personal existence to God's personal existence as persons of communion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've known Jacob Hawk since he was a freshman Bible major at Harding University. He arrived on our campus with a passion to preach the gospel, and I have been blessed to watch him develop into a powerful young minister. His preaching goes hand-in-hand with his writing ministry, and I am delighted to see his first book, The Image of the Invisible God, come to publication. Jacob has begun his writing ministry at the center of our faith, at the core of the gospel. You will be taught, challenged, inspired, and, in the end, richly blessed by the work of this gifted young preacher and writer. Dr. Bruce McLarty President, Harding University I spent my early years in college taking pictures as a professional photographer. I always found it challenging to portray people in the best light possible. In this book, Jacob Hawk has painted a beautiful word portrait of Jesus Christ which very clearly reveals the image of the invisible God. Hawk challenges all of us to a deeper relationship with God so that we might reflect the true image of Christ to those we meet every day. Dr. David B. Burks Chancellor, Harding University Former President, 1987-2013 What does God look like? Can we know for sure? Look no further--Jesus, his Son, the Image of the Invisible God, is ready to change your life. Not only will he illustrate God in his fullness, but he will show you how to do the same. As people who have also been created in the image of God, we too step into the spotlight of his image. We are handed the torch to portray God correctly to a world that doesn't see his goodness. The Image of the Invisible God provides a concise, thoughtful look at who God is. Even though becoming the Image of the Invisible God is a daunting task, simple tips bring this goal to fruition. Jacob Hawk offers some practical advice on how God's people can be more like Jesus. These tips are directly from the Bible, supplied with unique and captivating illustrations and applications. If you want a deeper relationship with God, and a greater understanding of his nature without the grind of religious degrees, this book is the spiritual food your faith is craving. God might be invisible, but your life is an open book ready to be seen and cherished. Discover a greater understanding of who Jesus really is; what he represents, illustrates, and models; and how you can mold yourself to the Image of the Invisible God.

Download or read book The Mosaic of Atonement written by Joshua M. McNall and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mosaic of Atonement offers a fresh and integrated approach to historic models of atonement. While modern treatments of the doctrine have tended toward either a defensive hierarchy, in which one model is singled out as most important, or a disconnected plurality, in which multiple images are affirmed but with no order of arrangement, this book argues for a reintegration of four famous "pieces" of atonement doctrine through the governing image of Christ-shaped mosaic. Unlike a photograph in which tiny pixels present a seamless blending of color and shape, a mosaic allows each piece to retain its recognizable particularity, while also integrating them in the service of a single larger image. If one stands close, one can identify individual squares of glass or tile that compose the greater picture. And if one steps back, there is the larger picture to be admired. Yet in the great mosaics of age-old Christian churches, the goal is not for viewers to construct the image, as in a puzzle, but to appreciate it. So too with this mosaic of atonement doctrine. While no one model is set above or against the others, the book notes particular ways in which the "pieces"--the feet, heart, head, and hands--mutually support one another to form a more holistic vision of Christ's work. "This is my body," Jesus said to his followers, and by reintegrating these oft-dismembered aspects of atonement, we will note fresh ways in which it was given for us.

Book excerpt: A prophetess, use as a spoon in God's hand I believe this book will give the reader a better visual how God see man, and how we should see God in a Physical image himself. God had created "He" ... Him "in a physical form-(in a express image of Himself in Hebrew 1.3)" 2. By Father God the Creator, created He them- "Them", indicating He as man/ He as woman (Genesis 1:26 this creation of all things begin in God in the spirit However, notice Genesis 2nd Chapter 1-15 verse. This is where God performed His creation to become no longer in spirit, but physical, which is in Genesis 2nd Chapter 1-15 Ephesian 4:4 There is one Spirit, even as man are called in one hope; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in all.) 3. Joel 2 chapter talks about God doing a new thing within man; this may be a Didi-ism, but I do believe "He"/ God the creator was referring to the man Jesus. Jesus birth was different, or "new" to man's way of thinking and or how man became familiar with his way that things were created. I believe, Father God has the power and the will to create again. if so desired; it is written, there is nothing new under the sun. (Read Ecclesiastes 1:9 ), and the new thing is, there will be a new earth and man will live in on the new earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Sanders Peirce is one of the most original voices in American philosophy. His scientific career and his goal of proving scientific logic provide rich material for philosophical development. Peirce was also a life-long Christian and member of the Episcopal Church. Roger Ward traces the impact of Peirce’s religion and Christianity on the development of Peirce’s philosophy. Peirce’s religious framework is a key to his development of pragmatism and normative science in terms of knowledge and moral transformation. Peirce’s argument for the reality of God is a culmination of both his religious devotion and his life-long philosophical development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together international scholars from across a range of linked disciplines to examine the concept of the person in the Greek Christian East, Personhood in the Byzantine Christian Tradition stretches in its scope from the New Testament to contemporary debates surrounding personhood in Eastern Orthodoxy. Attention is paid to a number of pertinent areas that have not hitherto received the scholarly attention they deserve, such as Byzantine hymnography and iconology, the work of early miaphysite thinkers, as well as the relevance of late Byzantine figures to the discussion. Similarly, certain long-standing debates surrounding the question are revisited or reframed, whether regarding the concept of the person in Maximus the Confessor, or with contributions that bring patristic and modern Orthodox theology into dialogue with a variety of contemporary currents in philosophy, moral psychology, and political science. In opening up new avenues of inquiry, or revisiting old avenues in new ways, this volume brings forward an important and on-going discussion regarding concepts of personhood in the Byzantine Christian tradition and beyond, and provides a key stimulus for further work in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book makes a very ambitious proposal. The proposal is that Catholic social thought can contribute significantly to revivifying the American experiment in liberal democracy. That there is a need, and urgent need, for such a revival is today widely recognized by thinkers across the political and philosophical spectrum. Some of the essays here are polemical and others apologetic, but the book taken all in all is a proposal. As such, it must make its case sometimes in conversation with and sometimes against other proposals that are advanced in the public square of democratic discourse." [Foreword].

Download or read book On Animals written by David L. Clough and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a project in systematic theology: a rigorous engagement with the Christian tradition in relation to animals under the doctrinal headings of creation, reconciliation and redemption and in dialogue with the Bible and theological voices central to the tradition. The book shows that such engagement with the tradition with the question of the animal in mind produces surprising answers that challenge modern anthropocentric assumptions. For the most part, therefore, the novelty of the project lies in the questions raised, rather than the proposal of innovative answers to it. The transformation in our thinking about animals for which the book argues results in the main from looking squarely for the first time at the sum of what we are already committed to believing about other animals and their place in God's creation.

This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trinity is a speaking God: three divine persons who share the same essence and commune with each other in love and glory. How does this truth shape the way we view the world and our place in it? The Speaking Trinity and His Worded World explores these questions by presenting all of life through the lens of language. Understood as communion behavior, language has its roots in God himself. What’s more, God has used language not only to create our world, but to sustain and direct it. Because of this biblical fact, we live in a place that always and everywhere reveals the trinitarian God whose speech upholds it. All things “speak” of God by revealing aspects of his character (Romans 1). We live in a worded world, a world that was spoken and speaks of God. Thus, language is far more than a means of human communication; it is at the center of who God is, who we are, and what our world is like. Join the author as he walks through redemptive history and points out not only how all things can be perceived through the lens of language, but what this means for us practically in our use of language.

This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In numerous works both before and after his papal election, John Paul II offers ample reflection on the themes of personhood, relationality, and sexual complementarity, but while he advances a clearly articulated theology of femininity and motherhood, as in his apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatem, he might seem to offer no equivalent treatment of masculinity and fatherhood. In Viri Dignitatem, David Delaney seeks to surface and systematize the rich but often overlooked theology of masculinity and fatherhood that is found dispersed throughout John Paul II’s writings, demonstrating its essentiality for understanding his larger anthropology. In the first part of the study, Delaney treats the foundations of this anthropology, establishing John Paul II’s thought on personhood, relation, and human action. Building on this, the second part considers sexual differentiation, drawing out from John Paul II’s teaching on the body, femininity, Mary, and the Church his corresponding perspective on masculinity, which is itself rooted in nuptial complementarity and the revealing work of Christ. The third part focuses on John Paul II’s theology of fatherhood, which Delaney presents as both a natural and spiritual vocation that is based on the Fatherhood of God as this is manifested and imaged by the incarnate Son. Finally, the fourth part provides a synthetic assessment of this theology of masculinity and fatherhood, showing its coherence and addressing contemporary criticisms and misinterpretations. At a time of accelerating crises of sexuality, the family, and fatherhood, Delaney’s Viri Dignitatem provides a welcome and important elaboration of John Paul II’s teaching on the dignity and vocation of man.

Download or read book Personhood and Health Care written by David C. Thomasma and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERSONHOOD AND HEALTH CARE This book arose as a result of a pre-conference devoted to the topic held June 28, 1999 in Paris, France. The pre-conference preceded the Annual Congress of the International Academy ofLaw and Mental Health. Other chapters were solicited after the conference in order to more completely explore the relation of personhood to health care. The pre conference was held in honor of Yves Pelicier who led so many of our French colleagues in medicine, philosophy, and ethics as Christian Herve notes in his Tribute. As health care is aimed at healing persons, it is important to realize how difficult it is to construct a theory of personhood for health care, and thus, a theory of how healing in health care comes about or ought to occur. The book is divided into four parts, Concepts of the Person, Theories of Personhood in Relation to Health Care and Bioethics, Person and Identity, and Personhood and Hs Relations. Each section explores a critical arena in constructing the relation of personhood to health care. Although no exploration ofthis nature can be exhaustive, every effort was made to present both conflicting and complementary views of personhood from within similar and different philosophical and religious traditions. PART ONE: CONCEPTS OF THE PERSON Tracing the origins of the concept of person from antiquity through present day, Jean Delemeau provides an historical sketch of the development of a wide range of meanings.
