Book Synopsis The Survival of Dogma by : Avery Dulles
Download or read book The Survival of Dogma written by Avery Dulles and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A distinguished theologian examines the role of faith, authority and dogma in this thoughtful and remarkably unified collection of essays and addresses. In this era of dramatic, often disturbing change both within and outside the Church, Avery Dulles finds that too many committed Christians are hampered by their lack of a sense of history. Believing that the Church's teachings and institutions have remained unchanged since the earliest days of Christianity, they tend to regard the old as sacred and the new as profane; they feel that the only options open to them are servile conformism of defiant rebellion. Father Dulles rejects this polarization, pointing our that dramatic changes in society at large have always brought equally far-reaching changes in the Church. From this perspective, he discusses a broad range of subjects, such as faith and the logic of discovery, authority and diversity in the Christian community, the contemporary magisterium, the permanence of prophecy and the "irreformability" of dogma - demonstrating his firm belief that the changes now occurring are not only desirable, but necessary for giving the Church a relevancy it has not had in this century." --

Book excerpt: Dogma is based on beliefs that have established the state of mental evolution of man and is based on his history of mental consciousness. It establishes factors which influenced our present psyche and its progression leading to our present dismal state of affairs. It outlines, projects and recommends future changes in attitudes and conditions which may have profound influences of the future of our planet. More specifically, it recommends changes dictated by a more diverse America, with equally diverse attitudes towards each other, coupled with needed changes in competitive relationships and Christian attitudes of how we relate to each other. Dogma explores the most reflective changes in the path to our future quality of life, liberty and happiness which are reflected by our education system where the whys, whose and whats of how we educate our people, must be in prime focus to augment realistic progress towards our desired goals. Because of complexities dictated by the psychological research involving diverse people, Dogma recommends that our educational system be changed to a more technically based system capable of better analytical analysis involving multiple and more complicated interactions characteristic of problems of the mind. The contentions of Dogma lay heavily with unexplained life observations and studies coupled with diligent applications of scientific methods to answer the complex questions posed future trends. For example, Why do poorer nations display increased dogmatic attitudes than more developed nations? And, why do more developed nations acquiesces to and accepts things that are obviously not correct? What are the causes of mass murders, and poor academic performances of minority groups? Why is compromise such a dirty word? The answers cannot be in more incarcerations or more wars. The recommended corrections in dogma are based on solid scientific rational and real life experiences. Therefore, the contentions and recommendations of Dogma are alive and well. And, so is the fact that additional researches on these subjects are necessary and valid for our effective continued evolution.
Book Synopsis The Survival of Dulles by : Michael M. Canaris
Download or read book The Survival of Dulles written by Michael M. Canaris and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection, marking the centenary of Avery Dulles’s birth, makes an entirely distinctive contribution to contemporary theological discourse as we approach the second century of the cardinal’s influence, and the twenty-first of Christian witness in the world. Moving beyond a festschrift, the volume offers both historical analyses of Dulles’s contributions and applications of his insights and methodologies to current issues like immigration, exclusion, and digital culture. It includes essays by Dulles’s students, colleagues, and peers, as well as by emerging scholars who have been and continue to be indebted to his theological vision and encyclopedic fluency in the ecclesiological developments of the post-conciliar Church. Though focused more on Catholic and ecumenical affairs than interreligious ones, the volume is intentionally outward-facing and strives to make clear the diverse and pluralistic contours of the cardinal’s nearly unrivaled impact on the North American Church, which truly crossed ideological, denominational, and generational boundaries. While critically recognizing the limits and lacunae of his historical moment, it serves as one among a multitude of testaments to the notion that the ripples of Avery Dulles’s influence continue to widen toward intellectually distant shores.

Book Synopsis The Forgotten Jesuit of Catholic Modernism by : Anthony M. Maher
Download or read book The Forgotten Jesuit of Catholic Modernism written by Anthony M. Maher and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates how George Tyrrell‘s theological challenge to those who would take the church out of history was never effectively refuted, either at the time or since, and that the issues Tyrrell raised are still relevant and alive in the church today. In highlighting Tyrrell‘s liberation of theology from dogmatism, the current work describes why he was vilified by the Roman hierarchy, expelled from the Jesuits, and eventually excommunicated. Tyrrell‘s Ignatian-inspired, hope-filled theology should not be forgotten, not least because it sheds further light on another courageous and prophetic Jesuit, Pope Francis. In revisiting Tyrrell‘s Ignatian theology, this book celebrates the promise that Vatican II presents to the future church, namely, a universal call to holiness as embraced by Pope Francis.
Book Synopsis Liberation of Dogma by : Juan L. Segundo
Download or read book Liberation of Dogma written by Juan L. Segundo and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-08-04 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a playful foreword that isn't, Juan Luis Segundo calls his present work posthumous - both because the sensitivity of the topic puts any future works in jeopardy, and because it provides the logical key to all his previous theological work. Thirty years a theologian, Segundo has tried to interpret the meaning of the gospel for believers today. One of the pioneers of Latin American liberation theology, he has tried especially to discern the relevance of faith to the emancipation of human beings from conditions of oppression. In 'The Liberation of Dogma' he turns to foundational questions of Christian faith seldom addressed by liberation theology: the meaning of revelation, and its articulation in dogma. Beginning with a brilliant historical survey of the development of scripture, Segundo lays the basis for his understanding of revelation as a process of divine pedagogy, an interaction between God and the human community in which the latter learn how to learn. The subsequent history of dogma reflects a continuation of the biblical story as the church learns to test and apply paradigms of faith to the challenges of an unfolding cultural and historical situation. Segundo examines the collision that occurred in the Middle Ages, when Greek dogmatic formulations -carefully worded to address problems posed by Hellenistic culture - were imposed on the new barbarian tribes as ready-made truths. This resulted in the loss of a dynamic understanding of revelation and faith, from which the church has only emerged since Vatican II. In his conclusion, Segundo develops a theology of revelation attuned to the signs of the times, a perspective influenced by the experience of Latin America's base communities. According to Segundo, Knowledge of God as 'revealing' something occurs to us when we are discovered to have a historical sensitivity that converges with God's own intentions. It is from a perspective and practice attuned to the Reign of God that we are free to discern God's revelation in history today.

Book Synopsis Science Set Free by : Rupert Sheldrake
Download or read book Science Set Free written by Rupert Sheldrake and published by Deepak Chopra. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home offers an intriguing new assessment of modern day science that will radically change the way we view what is possible. In Science Set Free (originally published to acclaim in the UK as The Science Delusion), Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows the ways in which science is being constricted by assumptions that have, over the years, hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas are not only limiting, but dangerous for the future of humanity. According to these principles, all of reality is material or physical; the world is a machine, made up of inanimate matter; nature is purposeless; consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain; free will is an illusion; God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. But should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry? Sheldrake shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns while societies around the world are paying the price. In the skeptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the ten fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities for discovery. Science Set Free will radically change your view of what is real and what is possible.

Book Synopsis Knowledge and Belief in America by : William M. Shea
Download or read book Knowledge and Belief in America written by William M. Shea and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enlightenment values of individual autonomy, democracy, and secularizing reason conflict with the religious traditions of community, authority, and traditional learning. Yet in American history the two heritages have been intertwined since the colonial era: the development of the Enlightenment has been influenced by community-based thinking and religious institutions have adopted to an extent critical methods and a democratic ethos even within their own walls. This volume unites the work of a distinguished group of theologians, historians, literary critics, and philosophers to explore the interaction between Enlightenment ideals and American religion. The Enlightenment's effect on the major religious traditions, including the Catholic Church, Evangelical Protestantism, and Judaism, is examined. Also highlighted is religion in the thinking of such representative figures as Edwards, Franklin, Emerson, Lincoln, Santayana, and the Pragmatists, Stevens and Eliot.

Book excerpt: This is a collection of lectures on Browning's attitude towards dogmatic religion. Excerpt: "To this faith, to this assurance, is largely attributable to the influence unquestionably possessed by Browning as a teacher in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The intentionally didactic element in the work may not honestly be ignored to whatever degree it is held to militate against artistic merit. Amid the throng of seekers after Truth in the world of poetry, Browning stands pre-eminent as one who not only sought Truth but, having gained what he held to be Truth, kept it as "the sole prize of Life."
