Download or read book Agape Agape written by William Gaddis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Gaddis published four novels during his lifetime, immense and complex books that helped inaugurate a new movement in American letters. Now comes his final work of fiction, a subtle, concentrated culmination of his art and ideas. For more than fifty years Gaddis collected notes for a book about the mechanization of the arts, told by way of a social history of the player piano in America. In the years before his death in 1998, he distilled the whole mass into a fiction, a dramatic monologue by an elderly man with a terminal illness. Continuing Gaddis's career-long reflection on those aspects of corporate technological culture that are uniquely destructive of the arts, Agape Agape is a stunning achievement from one of the indisputable masters of postwar American fiction.
Download or read book Agape Love written by Sir John Templeton and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tradition of agape, or unconditional love, is not exclusive to any religion. It is a primary underlying principle found in religions worldwide. The concept of altruistic love challenges the spiritual person to "love your enemies" or to "love without thought of return." It is a love that flows out to others through compassion, kindness, tenderness, and charitable giving. Buddhists have a path of compassion, where caring for others becomes the motivating force behind existence. Hindus have a branch of yoga, the heart-centered path, that leads to enlightenment through an overwhelming love for God that takes the form of loving all humanity. Eastern religions, such as Taoism and Confucianism, see transcendent love as essential to true wisdom. Love is a universal theme of love found in all religious traditions, Buddhist, Christian, Islam, or others. As we realize that all religions have this spiritual principle of love at their core, we can develop a sense of shared humanity. The religious tradition of agape love examined in this book will inspire those who are learning to grow in compassion and love for all people.
Download or read book Agape written by Gene H. Outka and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1977-09-10 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is the most comprehensive account to date of modern treatments of the love commandment. Gene Outka examines the literature on agape from Nygren’s Agape and Eros in 1930. Both Roman Catholic and Protestant writings are considered, including those of D’Arcy, Niebuhr, Ramsey, Tillich, and above all, Karl Barth. The first seven chapters focus on the principal treatments in the theological literature as they relate to major topics in ethical theory. The last chapter explores further the basic normative content of agape and discusses some of the most characteristic problems. “The book is in my judgment the best recent work in religious ethics. Outka brings together analytic moral philosophy and theological ethics, providing a masterly survey of views and issues arising in the past forty years. . . . I can think of few books of interest to scholars in both philosophy and theology, but Outka’s is one. Unlike some scholars who are at home in continental theology, Outka is also at home in secular analytic philosophy; he brings them together in a mutually illuminating way.”—Donald Evans “Outka has mastered this vast literature on love, and has brought a critical and clarifying analysis to bear upon it. This is a most important book on a most important subject, and brings the whole discussion into a new phase.”—John Macquarrie “The first thing to be said about Outka’s book quite simply is that it is excellent; in fact, it is probably the very best available book about contemporary Christian ethical theory.”—The Humanities Association Review

Book Synopsis The Love That Satisfies by : Christopher West
Download or read book The Love That Satisfies written by Christopher West and published by Ascension Press. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The celebrated author of Theology of the Body Explained andTheology of the Body for Beginners offers compelling insights into Pope Benedict’s profound teaching on human and divine love. The Love That Satisfies is for all - whether married, single, or religious - who are seeking the face of true love in a wounded world. In The Love That Satisfies, Christopher West turns to the wisdom of both Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II in order to shed some light on sexual love (eros) and its relationship with divine love (agape). Why is the love between man and woman so attractive and elusive, demanding and rewarding, restrictive and liberating, painful and ecstatic, messy and beautiful, maddening and fulfilling? Our world is saturated with sex but remains starved for love. Why? Perhaps as Waylon Jennings put it, we’re “Lookin' for love in all the wrong places, lookin' for love in too many faces.” Where, then, is the right place and whose, then, is the right face in which to look for love? By reflecting on key passages from Pope Benedict’s grand encyclical Deus Caritas Est, this book explores these and many other questions with the goal of pointing all who read it towards the love that satisfies. Those who give Pope Benedict’s teaching the attention it deserves will discover that the Catholic Church has a vision of sexual love far more glorious than anything Sigmund Freud, Hugh Hefner, Britney Spears, or Howard Stern could dream of or imagine. You doubt? This book will make you a believer.
Book Synopsis Agape, Justice, and Law by : Robert F. Cochran, Jr
Download or read book Agape, Justice, and Law written by Robert F. Cochran, Jr and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a provocative essay, philosopher Jeffrie G. Murphy asks: 'what would law be like if we organized it around the value of Christian love, and if we thought about and criticized law in terms of that value?'. This book brings together leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to address that question. Scholars have given surprisingly little attention to assessing how the central Christian ethical category of love - agape - might impact the way we understand law. This book aims to fill that gap by investigating the relationship between agape and law in Scripture, theology, and jurisprudence, as well as applying these insights to contemporary debates in criminal law, tort law, elder law, immigration law, corporate law, intellectual property, and international relations. At a time when the discourse between Christian and other world views is more likely to be filled with hate than love, the implications of agape for law are crucial.
Book Synopsis The Gift of Goodbye by : Rebecca Whitehead Munn
Download or read book The Gift of Goodbye written by Rebecca Whitehead Munn and published by She Writes Press. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you loved and lost before, yet struggled with how to recover and move forward? Are you looking for inspiration to give you strength to persevere? Have you faced the inevitable eternal rest of a parent, struggled with how to say good-bye? Have you questioned your faith and let fear take over in times of loss? In The Gift of Goodbye, Rebecca Whitehead Munn relates how she drew strength from her faith and optimism as everything she knew to be constant in her life was changing. She inspires readers through her natural writing style to believe that they too can persevere and build resilience through the seasons of loss in life. Rebecca opens her heart on each page as she walks us through her story of living through two major life transitions within a three-year span, and the resulting shift she made in the process—due to the lasting gift of love from her now-deceased mother, her courage, and the choice she made to expand into more of who she was at her core.

Download or read book Never Give Up! written by Nancy Missler and published by King's High Way. This book was released on 2005-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?I don't understand! Why does my trial continue on and on? Did I somehow miss God What do you do when your dreams, your plans and your hopes blow up in your face? Who do you blame when everything in the Bible gave you hope but, then, all was destroyed? How do you refrain from being angry, bitter and blaming God in situations like this? If we are honest with ourselves all of us at one time or another, have felt like ?giving up.? Paul expresses it perfectly in 2 Corinthians 1:8 when he says that he ?despaired of life itself.? What did he do? How did he persevere? Most of us talk very openly about the need to ?be like Christ? and to have His characteristics of Love, joy, peace, but what about the fruit of longsuffering?the determination never to give up? God promises us that He will strengthen us; help us and uphold us. (Isaiah 41:10) The question is: How do we do our part? How do we, like Paul, patiently endure our trials by never giving up? That's what this book is all about.
Download or read book Agape Road written by Bob Mumford and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The road believers travel is broken with twists, turns, and detours into worldliness and man-made religion. Thankfully, God uses that broken road to draw us back toward the destination our hearts long for----intimacy with Him. In Agape Road, author Bob Mumford illustrates how to avoid taking detours by abiding in Jesus. Experiencing God's unconditional agape love gives us the security, identity, and belonging we cannot get any other way.
Download or read book Agape Ethics written by William Greenway and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consider intense moments when you have been seized by joy or, in different contexts, by anguish for another person, or a cat or dog, or perhaps even for a squirrel or possum struck as it dashed across the road: whether glorious or haunting, these are among the most profound and meaningful moments in our lives. Agape Ethics focuses our attention on such moments with utter seriousness and argues they reveal a spiritual reality, the reality of agape. Powerful streams of modern Western rationality reject the idea of agape. This has created a crisis of foundations in modern ethics and alienated us from love for all creatures. Working wholly within the bounds of reason, Agape Ethics joins an increasingly vibrant struggle to legitimate the spiritual reality of agape, to awaken people to its power, to clarify its ethical implications, and to validate our spiritual communion with all creatures in all creation. The result is a powerful, inclusive, and wholly reasonable defense of moral realism that should speak to all who are passionate about creating a maximally loving and good world.
Book Synopsis Political Agape by : Timothy P. Jackson
Download or read book Political Agape written by Timothy P. Jackson and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the place of Christian love in a pluralistic society dedicated to liberty and justice for all ? What would it mean to take both Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln seriously and attempt to translate love of God and neighbor into every quarter of life, including law and politics? Timothy Jackson addresses such questions in Political Agape: Prophetic Christianity and Liberal Democracy. Jackson argues that love of God and neighbor is the perilously neglected civil virtue of our time and that it must be considered even before justice in structuring political principles and policies. To indicate the specific implications of civic agapism, he looks at such issues as the death penalty, Christian complicity in the Holocaust, the case for same-sex marriage, and the morality of adoption. The book concludes with Jackson s reflections on Martin Luther King Jr. as a Christian hero.
Book Synopsis The Many Sides of Peace by : Brayton Shanley
Download or read book The Many Sides of Peace written by Brayton Shanley and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Many Sides of Peace comes out of thirty years of living in a Catholic lay community, attempting to understand and practice the compelling ideas of gospel-centered nonviolent love. The book attempts to speak to the signs of these times for those who seek peace and liberation from both war and the looming ecological Armageddon. It is a faith based on the revelation of Jesus and the conviction that a love that is nonviolent will save this environmentally threatened planet and its warlike people from an "at risk" status to a more peaceful and sustainable one. This is a message of hope, a "how to live" spiritual manual for human/earth survival that can help create a bold and beautiful world.
Book Synopsis Faith in the Night Seasons by : Dr Chuck Missler
Download or read book Faith in the Night Seasons written by Dr Chuck Missler and published by Koinonia House. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Personal Application Workbook is designed to help you apply the Scriptural principles presented in the Faith in the Night Seasons textbook. The goal and purpose of every Christian is to be "conformed into the image of Christ." A true Biblical night season is a Father-filtered period of time designed to do just that. God deprives us of the natural light that we are so used to, in order that He might strengthen our faith and we might come to know Him in His fullness.
