Book Synopsis The Secondhand Disciple by : Palmer Fitzgerald
Download or read book The Secondhand Disciple written by Palmer Fitzgerald and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secondhand Disciple is a literary novel in strains of soft sci-fi. It also ties in with the main character's theory of existence. The novel also has no agenda except to show how an aged individual can think while his shared theory is not one found elsewhere. Its eclipsing notoriety cannot be stressed enough. In the process, it depicts one who isn't anti-Semitic but treats it in bad taste and is homophobic and racist by twenty-first-century standards. Zane is a glossophobe, fearing public speaking and developing an unorthodox, if original, view of the world, who tries to espouse it in spite of an introverted personality. As the son of a Mississippi clergyman, his persuasion is endorsed by two pastors--a Black Arizona Unitarian and a North Carolina Fundamentalist Baptist. These latter and a Virginia preacher attempt to bring this philosophy before the public. In the interim, there occurs a killing in self-defense, a presidential assassination, several murders, and a bank robbery. Secondary to the thrust of the work but not in coverage is an exhaustive look at Carolina church services, outlining the druthers and interactions of these congregations. While there are diatribes aplenty, no doctrine is touted; the gist is that Copernicus was wrong in his heliocentrically if regarded in a multidimensional scope. The novel will not be fact-checked as it engages in these otherworldly anomalies. Churchy as it might seem, it is totally lacking in evangelism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Don’t come back until you’ve done something in life! Lounging around here as if the world owed you a living. Over two thousand years old, and you still haven’t held down a proper job! What does it say on your CV? Messiah? Go and get some qualifications for Christ’s sake!” And with that, God slammed heaven’s gate in Jesus’ face with a resounding crash. Jesus, with a troubled look on his face, tried the gate. He pulled and heaved but it wouldn’t budge an inch. And then he distinctly heard the bolts being slid across – God obviously meant business. Earth has been waiting for over two millennium for the Messiah to pay a visit. That is until, one day, God bans Jesus from Heaven and sends him back to Earth – where he is promptly kidnapped. Unfortunately God is out to lunch, so it is left to the most motley crew of teenagers to save Jesus’ life. But what can a sarky cripple, a moany epileptic, a hulk-sized youth with Down’s syndrome and a would-be spiderboy do against a sleekly organised anti-Christ group? Not a lot, as it turns out – one by one they succumb, until just one is left. Running scared and with no one to turn to for help, he has a race against time to save his friends’ lives and the hopes of mankind... The New Disciples and the Second Coming is a story bursting with suspense and unexpected turns of events. Nothing is quite what it seems and nothing will ever be the same again. This funny, irreverent children’s novel is for readers aged 11-15.

Download or read book Mere Discipleship written by Lee C. Camp and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ today? And are Christians really prepared for the answers? In Mere Discipleship, Lee Camp sets forth his vision of what it means to truly follow Christ, challenging Christians to put obedience to Jesus as Lord ahead of allegiances to all earthly authorities--be they nationalistic, political, economic, or cultural. Camp clearly lays out a sound biblical framework of what disciples believe and therefore what they should do.

Book Synopsis Delphi Collected Works of Soren Kierkegaard (Illustrated) by : Soren Kierkegaard
Download or read book Delphi Collected Works of Soren Kierkegaard (Illustrated) written by Soren Kierkegaard and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2023-12-03 with total page 4435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nineteenth century Danish philosopher and theologian, Søren Kierkegaard was a major influence on the development of existentialism and Protestant theology. He attacked the literary, philosophical and ecclesiastical establishments of his day for misrepresenting the highest task of human existence—becoming oneself in an ethical and religious sense. His critical works on organised religion, Christianity, morality, ethics and psychology reveal a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Many of his philosophical essays deal with how one lives as a “single individual”, giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking, while highlighting the importance of personal choice. This eBook presents Kierkegaard’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare translations, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Synopsis I See Men as Trees, Walking by : Bryan M. Christman
Download or read book I See Men as Trees, Walking written by Bryan M. Christman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “He took the blind man by the hand . . . and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, ‘Do you see anything?’ He said, ‘I see men, but they look like trees, walking.’ Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again and he saw everything clearly.” Mark’s account of a blind man needing two healing touches from Jesus graphically depicts the stubborn blindness of his disciples. Peter epitomized this blindness when he was tempted by the popular view that Jesus was the Rome-conquering savior of Israel, rather than the suffering Servant of God. Also, the disciples didn’t understand that Jesus miraculously fed the famished crowds with a few loaves and fish to meet immediate need and provide leftover fragments of food for future need. Salvation was pictured for all time. Essentially, Mark’s Gospel gathered “leftovers,” historical fragments of Jesus’ life to convey God’s salvation across history to those Kierkegaard called “the follower at second hand.” Like Peter, disciples and even the crowds are tempted to false “salvations” where self is lost. But ironically, persons only become a self by taking up their own cross, enabled by Jesus’ second touch.

Book Synopsis Passionate Reason by : C. Stephen Evans
Download or read book Passionate Reason written by C. Stephen Evans and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1992-11-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Climacus, SÃ ̧ren Kierkegaard's pseudonymous author of Philosophical Fragments, "invents" a religion suspiciously resembling Christianity as an alternative to the assumption that humans possess the Truth within themselves. Through this literary device, Climacus raises in a fresh and audacious way age-old questions about the relation of Christian faith to human reason. Is the idea of a human incarnation of God logically coherent? Is religious faith the product of a voluntary choice? In a comprehensive discussion of one of Kierkegaard's most important books, C. Stephen Evans elucidates Kierkegaard's novel explanation that the tension between faith and reason must be understood as a consequence of the passionate character of reason itself. Passionate Reason situates Kierkegaard's philosophy in the context of postmodern religious thought, providing a contemporary reading of Fragments as a challenge to both the modern Enlightenment critique of reason and the postmodern abandonment of truth.
Book Synopsis Osho Rajaneesh and His Disciples by : Harry Aveling
Download or read book Osho Rajaneesh and His Disciples written by Harry Aveling and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osho Never Born Never Died. Only visited this Planet Earth between December 11, 1931-Janurary 19, 1990. As this final inscription suggests, Osho Rajneesh was a paradox: an individual with no claims to being an individual a Master with thousands of disciples who refused to be a Master. He has variously been seen as the god that failed ,the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ and the Buddha for the future .This book brings together some of the best short writings in English on Osho and neo-Sannyasa. Some of the pieces are celebratory, some inquisitive but uncommitted, some scholarly, and some frankly sceptical. The book is divided into four parts, dealing with Osho himself, his Community, Meditation and Therapy, and the Decline and Renewal of his movement, with a postscript on the present commune. Together the papers provide a full picture of a complex man and a vibrant, if turbulent, religious movement.
Book Synopsis Kierkegaard's Writings, VII, Volume 7 by : Søren Kierkegaard
Download or read book Kierkegaard's Writings, VII, Volume 7 written by Søren Kierkegaard and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-21 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a new translation, with a historical introduction by the translators, of two works written under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus. Through Climacus, Kierkegaard contrasts the paradoxes of Christianity with Greek and modern philosophical thinking. In Philosophical Fragments he begins with Greek Platonic philosophy, exploring the implications of venturing beyond the Socratic understanding of truth acquired through recollection to the Christian experience of acquiring truth through grace. Published in 1844 and not originally planned to appear under the pseudonym Climacus, the book varies in tone and substance from the other works so attributed, but it is dialectically related to them, as well as to the other pseudonymous writings. The central issue of Johannes Climacus is doubt. Probably written between November 1842 and April 1843 but unfinished and published only posthumously, this book was described by Kierkegaard as an attack on modern speculative philosophy by "means of the melancholy irony, which did not consist in any single utterance on the part of Johannes Climacus but in his whole life. . . . Johannes does what we are told to do--he actually doubts everything--he suffers through all the pain of doing that, becomes cunning, almost acquires a bad conscience. When he has gone as far in that direction as he can go and wants to come back, he cannot do so. . . . Now he despairs, his life is wasted, his youth is spent in these deliberations. Life does not acquire any meaning for him, and all this is the fault of philosophy." A note by Kierkegaard suggests how he might have finished the work: "Doubt is conquered not by the system but by faith, just as it is faith that has brought doubt into the world!."
