Book Synopsis The Sacrifice of Jesus by : Christian A. Eberhart
Download or read book The Sacrifice of Jesus written by Christian A. Eberhart and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring nonviolent images of atonement-- The "sacrifice" of Jesus is one of the most central doctrines in Christianity--and one of the most controversial, especially in contemporary debate (and after the appearance of films such as The Passion of the Christ). The implications of a violent parent and the necessity of innocent suffering are profoundly troubling to many people. Are they nevertheless necessary elements of Christian theology? Christian A. Eberhart makes a decisive contribution to these debates by carefully and clearly examining the Old Testament metaphors of sacrifice and atonement and the ways these metaphors were taken over by early Christians to speak of the significance of Christ. Eberhart shows that these New Testament appropriations have been misunderstood as requiring a logic of necessary violence; rather they speak to larger Christological themes concerning the whole mission and life of Jesus.

Book Synopsis Saved from Sacrifice by : Mark S. Heim
Download or read book Saved from Sacrifice written by Mark S. Heim and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-08-10 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross has long been not only a scandal but also a profound paradox: filled with saving significance and power, it is at the same time a sobering tragedy. In Saved from Sacrifice theologian Mark Heim takes on this paradox, asserting that the cross must be understood against the whole history of human scapegoating violence. In order to highlight the dimensions of his argument, Heim carefully and critically draws on the groundbreaking work of French theorist and biblical scholar René Girard. Yet Heim goes beyond Girard to develop a comprehensive theology of the atonement and the cross through his fresh readings of well-known biblical passages and his exploration of the place of the victim.

Book Synopsis Sacrifice in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by : David L. Weddle
Download or read book Sacrifice in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam written by David L. Weddle and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the practice and philosophy of sacrifice in three religious traditions In the book of Genesis, God tests the faith of the Hebrew patriarch Abraham by demanding that he sacrifice the life of his beloved son, Isaac. Bound by common admiration for Abraham, the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam also promote the practice of giving up human and natural goods to attain religious ideals. Each tradition negotiates the moral dilemmas posed by Abraham’s story in different ways, while retaining the willingness to perform sacrifice as an identifying mark of religious commitment. This book considers the way in which Jews, Christians, and Muslims refer to “sacrifice”—not only as ritual offerings, but also as the donation of goods, discipline, suffering, and martyrdom. Weddle highlights objections to sacrifice within these traditions as well, presenting voices of dissent and protest in the name of ethical duty. Sacrifice forfeits concrete goods for abstract benefits, a utopian vision of human community, thereby sparking conflict with those who do not share the same ideals. Weddle places sacrifice in the larger context of the worldviews of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, using this nearly universal religious act as a means of examining similarities of practice and differences of meaning among these important world religions. This book takes the concept of sacrifice across these three religions, and offers a cross-cultural approach to understanding its place in history and deep-rooted traditions.
Download or read book Love, Power, Sacrifice written by and published by Dewi Lewis Pub. This book was released on 2007 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographed over 20 years, this is a portrait of the Jesus Army. For most, they are the tambourine-wielding fanatics who intrude on our Saturday morning shopping excursions. But for the members themselves, this charismatic Christian sect - often dismissed as a cult - is a total way of life. Photographer John Angerson has a profoundly sympathetic authorial style that does not judge, or simply even chronicle, but seems to penetrate the very skin of a religious sect and provide a seering insight into fanatical religion. With an introduction by author William Shaw.

Book Synopsis The Moves That Matter by : Jonathan Rowson
Download or read book The Moves That Matter written by Jonathan Rowson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chess grandmaster reveals the powerful teachings this ancient game offers for staying present, thriving in a complex world, and crafting a fulfilling life. Refined and perfected through 1,500 years of human history, chess has long been a touchstone for shrewd tacticians and master strategists. But the game is much more than just warfare in miniature. Chess is also an ever-shifting puzzle to be solved, a narrative to be written, and a task that demands players create their own motivation from moment to moment. In other words, as Grandmaster Jonathan Rowson argues in this kaleidoscopic and inspiring book, there are ways to see all of life reflected in those 64 black and white squares. Taking us inside the psychologically charged world of chess's global elite, Rowson mines the game for its insights into sustaining focus, quieting our inner saboteur, making tough decisions, overcoming failure, and more. He peels back the beguiling logic of chess to reveal the timeless wisdom underneath. This exhilarating tour ranges from learning how to love our mistakes to considering why people are like trees; from the mysteries of parenting to the beauty of technical details, to the endgame of death. Throughout, chess emerges as a powerful and accessible metaphor for the thrills and setbacks that fill our daily lives with meaning and beauty.
