Book excerpt: Martin Luther King Jr. was a cautious 19-year-old rookie preacher when he left Atlanta, Georgia, to attend seminary up north. At Crozer Theological Seminary, King, or "ML" back then, immediately found himself surrounded by a white staff and white professors. Even his dorm room had once been used by wounded Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Young ML was a prankster and a late-night, chain-smoking pool player who fell in love with a white woman while facing discrimination from students and the locals in the surrounding town of Chester, Pennsylvania. In class, ML performed well, though he developed a habit of plagiarizing that continued throughout his academic career. In his three years at Crozer between 1948 and 1951, King delivered dozens of sermons around the Philadelphia area, had a gun pointed at him (twice) and eventually became student body president. These experiences shaped him into a man ready to take on even greater challenges. The Seminarian is the first definitive, full-length account of King's years as a divinity student at Crozer Theological Seminary. Long passed over by biographers and historians, this period in King's life is vital to understanding the historical figure he soon became.

Download or read book Hijab written by Lloyd Ridgeon and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the range of seminarian thinking in Iran on the controversial topic of the hijab. During the modern period, Iran has suffered a great deal of conflict and confusion caused by the impact of Western views on the hijab in the 19th century, Riza Shah Pahlavi's 1936 decree banning Islamic head coverings, and the imposition of the veil in the wake of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Ḥijāb addresses the differences of opinion among seminarians on the hijab in the Islamic Republic of Iran, focusing on three representative thinkers: Murtaza Mutahhari who held veiling to be compulsory, Ahmad Qabil who argued for the desirability of the hijab, and Muhsin Kadivar who considers it neither necessary nor desirable. In the first chapter, the views of these three scholars are contextualized within the framework known as 'new religious thinking' among the seminarians. Comprehending the hermeneutics of this new religious thinking is key to appreciating how and why the younger generation of scholars have offered divergent judgements about the hijab. Following the first chapter, the book is divided into three parallel sections, each devoted to one of the three seminarians. These present a chronological approach, and each scholar's position on the hijab is assessed with reference to historical specificity and their own general jurisprudential perspective. Extensive examples of the writings of the three scholars on the hijab are also provided.
Book Synopsis How to Stay Christian in Seminary by : David Mathis
Download or read book How to Stay Christian in Seminary written by David Mathis and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminary is dangerous. Really dangerous. The hard truth is that many seminarians enter pastoral ministry feeling drained, disillusioned, and dissatisfied. But the problem isn't with the faculty or the material. Rather, the most perilous danger to the soul of the pastor-in-training is the sin residing deep within his own heart. Drawing on their years of pastoral ministry and seminary experience, David Mathis and Jonathan Parnell take a refreshingly honest look at this oft-neglected—yet all too common—experience, offering real-world advice for students eager to survive seminary with their faith intact. In seven short but challenging chapters, the authors remind readers of the foundational role of the gospel in the life of ministry, equipping them with the keys to grow in their faith while making the most of their education.

After teaching for 23 years, receiving two masters and his Ph.D., Cescilio still feels empty. There is something missing. Does the genesis of Cescilio's sense of emptiness stem from his religious beliefs? He ventured to learn more about life and Christianity, so he entered seminary at age 52. After studying other religions and other gods in World Religions class, he questions whether Jesus is himself a "universal" God. What about the other many gods that exists in the world? Where are they in relation to Jesus and where is Jesus among them? Between his desire to learn more about his faith and his aspiration to learn about other religions, Cescilio is afforded a fateful opportunity to search for his God in India. Through Cescilio's eyes, you will take a journey into India. Each chapter of A Christian in India takes you deeper into who Jesus is and where God resides, and you will see how Cescilio's Christian faith grows deeper and stronger.
Book Synopsis The Seminarian by : Michel Del Castillo
Download or read book The Seminarian written by Michel Del Castillo and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel set in a seminary in rural Spain sometime in the mid-twentieth century, perhaps the 1950s, although it is hard to tell because there are no references to events in the outside world. Our first-person narrator, an orphan, is sent to the seminary partly because he has no where else to go, and partly because he's devout and believes he has a calling. He studies very hard and is in all ways the perfect seminarian until he becomes secret friends with another boy, with whom he falls madly and passionately in love. For good reason, it would seem: the object of his infatuation is a handsome, hunky, not-very-bright romantic fellow who has no qualms about sleeping with his friend, who is both tortured and exhilarated by the nearness of his sweet and beautiful friend. Seeing how the book is set mid-century Spain, in a seminary no less, this illicit love ends tragically, although in a refreshing twist our hero kills his lover rather than himself. The book is intense and atmospheric, and good at capturing the thwarted friendships and desires that occur within the monastic life, both between seminarians and also between teacher (priest) and student.

Book Synopsis The Theology of John Wesley by : Prof. Kenneth J. Collins
Download or read book The Theology of John Wesley written by Prof. Kenneth J. Collins and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich articulation of John Wesley's theology that is appreciative of the old and mindful of the new, faithful to the past and attentive to the present. This work carefully displays John Wesley's eighteenth century theology in its own distinct historical and social location, but then transitions to the twenty-first century through the introduction of contemporary issues. So conceived, the book is both historical and constructive demonstrating that the theology of Wesley represents a vibrant tradition. Cognizant of Wesley's own preferred vocabulary, Collins introduces Wesley's theological method beginning with a discussion of the doctrine of God. "In this insightful exposition the leitmotif of holy love arises out of Wesley's reflection on the nature of the divine being as well as other major doctrines." (Douglas Meeks)
