Book Synopsis The Doors of the Sea by : David Bentley Hart
Download or read book The Doors of the Sea written by David Bentley Hart and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God s power or God s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God if such exists allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering. He calls both to recognize in the worst catastrophes not the providential will of God but rather the ongoing struggle between the rebellious powers that enslave the world and the God who loves it wholly.
Book Synopsis The Beauty of the Infinite by : David Bentley Hart
Download or read book The Beauty of the Infinite written by David Bentley Hart and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2004-10-29 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beauty of the Infinite is a splendid extended essay in "theological aesthetics." David Bentley Hart here meditates on the power of a Christian understanding of beauty and sublimity to rise above the violence -- both philosophical and literal -- characteristic of the postmodern world. The book begins by tracing the shifting use and nature of metaphysics in the thought of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Lyotard, Derrida, Deleuze, Nancy, Levinas, and others. Hart pays special attention to Nietzsche's famous narrative of the "will to power" -- a narrative largely adopted by the world today -- and he offers an engaging revision (though not rejection) of the genealogy of nihilism, thereby highlighting the significant "interruption" that Christian thought introduced into the history of metaphysics. This discussion sets the stage for a retrieval of the classic Christian account of beauty and sublimity, and of the relation of both to the question of being. Written in the form of a dogmatica minora, this main section of the book offers a pointed reading of the Christian story in four moments, or parts: Trinity, creation, salvation, and eschaton. Through a combination of narrative and argument throughout, Hart ends up demonstrating the power of Christian metaphysics not only to withstand the critiques of modern and postmodern thought but also to move well beyond them. Strikingly original and deeply rewarding, The Beauty of the Infinite is both a constructively critical account of the history of metaphysics and a compelling contribution to it.
Download or read book Forever Finite written by Kip K. Sewell and published by Rond Books. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INFINITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS… Infinity is commonly assumed to be a logical concept, reliable for conducting mathematics, describing the Universe, and understanding the divine. Most of us are educated to take for granted that there exist infinite sets of numbers, that lines contain an infinite number of points, that space is infinite in expanse, that time has an infinite succession of events, that possibilities are infinite in quantity, and over half of the world’s population believes in a divine Creator infinite in knowledge, power, and benevolence. According to this treatise, such assumptions are mistaken. In reality, to be is to be finite. The implications of this assessment are profound: the Universe and even God must necessarily be finite. The author makes a compelling case against infinity, refuting its most prominent advocates. Any defense of the infinite will find it challenging to answer the arguments laid out in this book. But regardless of the reader’s position, Forever Finite offers plenty of thought-provoking material for anyone interested in the subject of infinity from the perspectives of philosophy, mathematics, science, and theology.

Download or read book Now and Forever written by John E. Thiel and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the insights of the ressourcement theology of grace, this sophisticated theological aesthetics offers a fresh vision of the doctrine of creation through a consideration of the beauty of time. Conventional eschatological accounts of life after death tend to emphasize the discontinuity between earthly life and the hereafter: whereas this life is subject to the contingencies of time, life after death is characterized by a stolid eternity. In contrast to this standard view, John E. Thiel’s Now and Forever articulates a Catholic eschatology in which earthly life and heavenly life are seen as gracefully continuous. This account offers a reconceptualization of time, which, Thiel argues, is best understood as the sacramental medium of God’s grace to creation. Thiel’s project thus attempts to rescue time from its Platonically negative resonance in the doctrine of creation. Rather than viewing time as the ambiance of sinful dissolution, Thiel argues for a Christian vision of time’s beauty, and so explicitly develops an aesthetics that views time as a creaturely reflection of God’s own Trinitarian life. This thesis proceeds from the assumption that all time is eschatological time and is thus guided by attention to the temporality implicit in the virtue of hope, with its orientation toward a fulfilled future that culminates in resurrected life. This interpretation of the beauty of eschatological time in its widest expanse presses further the insight of ressourcement theology that grace is everywhere, while appreciating how time’s graceful beauty manifests itself in the diversity of temporal moments, human communities, and most fully in the heavenly communion of the saints.

Book Synopsis The Dark Side of Light by : Kay Channon
Download or read book The Dark Side of Light written by Kay Channon and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-02-26 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kay Channon's poetry is honest and raw. She shares images and thoughts which delicately convey the isolation, pain and melancholy of her circumstances. Yet her work echoes with a nuanced self-reflection, which draws hope and strength from the rain, a Slovenian philosopher, and ultimately, from poetry itself. This is the debut collection from a poet who is already bringing a new voice to the timeless themes of love, death and the search for meaning. 'Her voice speaks out with such feeling, ardour and memorable gentleness.' Faysal Mikdadi PhD FRSA Kay is studying poetry in the context of disability culture, cyberculture, and the formation of hybrid identities at the University of Chichester. Born at 26 weeks, and having to deal with lifelong health issues arising from this, Kay says, "The Dark Side of Light drifted in and out of an abyss which spoke of an unavoidable silence. As I became more familiar with this space, I realised there was so much more to listen to than the inaudible beat of my heart..."

Book Synopsis I Cannot Control Everything Forever by : Emily C. Bloom
Download or read book I Cannot Control Everything Forever written by Emily C. Bloom and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eloquent and intimate debut memoir about navigating the gap between expectation and reality in modern motherhood. I Cannot Control Everything Forever is Emily Bloom’s journey towards and through motherhood, a path that has become, for the average woman, laden with data and medical technology. Emily faces decisions regarding genetic testing and diagnosis, technologies that offer the illusion of certainty but carry the weight of hard decisions. Her desire to know more thrusts her back into the history of science, as she traces the discoveries that impacted the modern state of pregnancy and motherhood. With the birth of their daughter, who is diagnosed with congenital deafness and later, Type 1 diabetes, Emily and her husband find their life centered around medical data, devices, and doctor’s visits, but also made richer and fuller by parenting an exceptional child. As Emily learns, technology and data do not reduce the labor of caretaking. These things often fall, as the pandemic starkly revealed, on mothers. Trying to find a way out of the loneliness and individualism of 21st century parenthood, Emily finds joy in reaching outwards, towards art and literature–such as the maternal messiness of Louise Bourgeois or Greek myths about the power of fate–as well as the collective sustenance of friends and community. With lyrical and enchanting prose, I Cannot Control Everything Forever is an inspired meditation on art, science, and motherhood.

Gage has been happy in Blueberry Beach, living above the store on the Main Street, working from home and raising his two girls. Alone. The tightknit community supports each other and his daughters enjoy working in the ice cream shop and playing in the beach band. When Zariah and her teenage niece, Macie, move in across the street, opening a clothing boutique, Gage's attraction to her is immediate. Their relationship seems too good to be true. Or maybe it's Macie that's too good to be true. When Macie is caught in a crime spree that includes stealing cars, destroying property and dealing drugs, the small community is shocked and appalled. Will Gage and Zariah's relationship be able to weather this storm? Will Blueberry Beach ever feel safe again? Reviews for Beautiful Forevers: ★★★★★ "The book was just all consuming, heart wrenching, wonderful, everyone should read this one, it speaks to your heart like no other story I have ever read." - KRP ★★★★★ "God's grace is one of Gussman's favorite themes and she portrays it perfectly in Beautiful Forevers. Grace isn't a magic wand. It can't negate the harm done or whisk away the consequences, but it can show the way forward to healing and redemption. I have loved all of the Blueberry Beach novels, but Beautiful Forevers is my current favorite." - Charlene ★★★★★ "Wow - This is way different than the books I've been reading. It also deals with issues we parents pray we'll never have to deal with. But life happens. And grace is there. And life goes on." - Kindle Customer ★★★★★ "This is such an amazing story!!! I love how Ms. Gussman's romances intermingle the problems of real life with the love story. I suppose I feel that way because that's the way it truly happens. Her stories always read more like a glimpse into someone's life, than a fictional tale!" - Ballet in AK ★★★★★ "Wow. I am, as always, blown away by the emotion and real-ness of Jessie Gussman's works. This book is such a great example of how someone (a teen, especially) may deal with grief. I was floored." - Janet Books in the Blueberry Beach series: Yesterday's Treasures Tomorrow's Blessings Beautiful Forevers Precious Memories Misty Mornings Sweet Afternoons
Book Synopsis Portraits of Passion by : Praveen Kumar
Download or read book Portraits of Passion written by Praveen Kumar and published by AUTHOR. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the poet sings here is true of his life. He is open for the temptations of both the passion and the reason. When they act together, we find the person at his best in life with the strengths of purpose and will; we find the poet at his best in poetry with sweet ironies, spliced with the power of language when, " The wind of passion and the barriers of reason, pull apart from sides,". Thus, the author gained from both his strength and weakness. Poetry to this poet is an integrated expression of personality. His conception of poetry is beautifully expressed in the following stanza in the poem "Poetry ".You, the gentle queen on inspiration's throne In splendours of words, rhythms, colours, Musics and passions in unending layers; Come, sit on heart, build bridges to the mind, Bring light to the eyes to choose a carriageTo carry your muse to gentle souls.It is significant of this poet that the utility of poetry for him lies in carrying her 'muse to gentle souls'. He is deeply subjective and inward-looking in nature. This subjective and inward-looking tendency makes him a proud and self-assured individual. Read following lines in the poem,'The Path of Life '.Whatever may come, whatever may go, Whatever on the path is in store as fate, I must walk as always I am;Proud of self and diligent of walk,I tread the path that comes in front; Whatever at back, bears my print,Whatever in front, conforms to inner strength.The poet has tried to portray the widening gulf betwixt rich and poor in the poem,' Humanity ' wherein an image of poverty is laid in following lines:A hapless motherOffers her to greedTo save her child from the hunger's death ; No roof to hide, no cloth to cover,No fire in heart to save honour ; Dirt and filth, sickness everywhere, Dirt and filth, sickness everywhere,The sufferings of the people touch the poet while writing about Bangladesh cyclone in the poem,' Bangladesh Cyclone; he describes how a famished man appears after the devastation.God-forsaken man sits in the middleAnd knows not whether he is dead or alive.'Portraits of Passion' is primarily a portrait of passion- passion in its varied and verdant forms and hues; passion for life, passion of love and passion to know the world around. The collection has a few love portraits in both meeting and parting frames of mind. Read following lines of the poem,' That Day':She held the portrait close to her heart And drank his form to the brim of eyes; What a gentle shine, what contentment, Her eyes spread in expression of her heart! What depth it had, what immortal warmth That he felt at loss to pierce far enow; Parting is the more intense form of love.The foretaste of the impending separation how withers souls and brings them closer in the milieu of climacteric gloom and silence is portrayed in the poem,' Gulf of Life and Death':Face to face, they sat in silence,No word to speak, no shine in eyes, Both blankly stared beyond each other; No world to smile, no light or sunshine,They sought each other for hope and comfortIn the eye of high tide of the time's drift.There are a few poems on the nature in this fascicle. Following three lines describe the full-moon in motion in her full glory through the demi-jour of the heaven in a mise en scene:The golden queen in the stride of royal graceAscended heaven with gold dusts splayedOn the fading silk-carpet of the thin sunshine ;The aureate beauty of the fullmoon day is painted in following lines : The night is full with beauty's sweet contrastsOf peace and passions, stillness and motionWith shades and twiligfits of sensuous quietude!A conflict of life and death and desperate waiting for something eerie and lovefull are lurking in many of the poet's writings and give his poems an arcane touch.
