Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longing for an Absent God unveils the powerful role of faith and doubt in the American literary tradition. Nick Ripatrazone explores how two major strands of Catholic writers--practicing and cultural--intertwine and sustain each other. Ripatrazone explores the writings of devout American Catholic writers in the years before the Second Vatican Council through the work of Flannery O'Connor, J. F. Powers, and Walker Percy; those who were raised Catholic but drifted from the church, such as the Catholic-educated Don DeLillo and Cormac McCarthy, the convert Toni Morrison, the Mass-going Thomas Pynchon, and the ritual-driven Louise Erdrich; and a new crop of faithful American Catholic writers, including Ron Hansen, Phil Klay, and Alice McDermott, who write Catholic stories for our contemporary world. These critically acclaimed and award-winning voices illustrate that Catholic storytelling is innately powerful and appealing to both secular and religious audiences. Longing for an Absent God demonstrates the profound differences in the storytelling styles and results of these two groups of major writers--but ultimately shows how, taken together, they offer a rich and unique American literary tradition that spans the full spectrum of doubt and faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few, if any, thinkers and writers today would have the imagination, the breadth of knowledge, the literary skill, and-yes-the audacity to conceive of a powerful, secular alternative to the Bible. But that is exactly what A.C. Grayling has done by creating a non-religious Bible, drawn from the wealth of secular literature and philosophy in both Western and Eastern traditions, using the same techniques of editing, redaction, and adaptation that produced the holy books of the Judaeo-Christian and Islamic religions. The Good Book consciously takes its design and presentation from the Bible, in its beauty of language and arrangement into short chapters and verses for ease of reading and quotability, offering to the non-religious seeker all the wisdom, insight, solace, inspiration, and perspective of secular humanist traditions that are older, far richer and more various than Christianity. Organized in 12 main sections----Genesis, Histories, Widsom, The Sages, Parables, Consolations, Lamentations, Proverbs, Songs, Epistles, Acts, and the Good----The Good Book opens with meditations on the origin and progress of the world and human life in it, then devotes attention to the question of how life should be lived, how we relate to one another, and how vicissitudes are to be faced and joys appreciated. Incorporating the writing of Herodotus and Lucretius, Confucius and Mencius, Seneca and Cicero, Montaigne, Bacon, and so many others, The Good Book will fulfill its audacious purpose in every way.

Download or read book The Absent God in the Works of William Wordsworth written by Eliza Borkowska and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called by one of its reviewers "Wordsworth’s biographia literaria," this book takes its reader on a fascinating journey into the mind of the poet whose attitude to God and religion points to a major shift in Western culture. The monograph probes the philosophical foundations of Wordsworth’s religious outlook, drawing attention to this First Generation Romantic poet as the author who happened to record in his verse the rise to prominence of some of the intellectual and spiritual challenges and the most troublesome uncertainties that have defined Western man ever since. The book constitutes a self-contained whole and can be read independently. Simultaneously, it creates an unusual duet with the companion volume, The Presence of God in the Works of William Wordsworth. These two works can be regarded as contraries—or negatives: one offering an ironically positive reading of Wordsworth’s religious discourse, the other offering a reading which is positively negative.

Download or read book God as an Absent Character in Biblical Hebrew Narrative written by Amelia Devin Freedman and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Hebrew Bible as a whole is centered on God and God's relations with Israel, the character of God appears in most biblical stories only indirectly. How are modern readers to make sense of this paradox? God as an Absent Character in Biblical Hebrew Narrative establishes a set of literary methods that both academic and non-academic readers can use to understand the character of God, who is the single most important character in Hebrew Bible narrative and, strangely, absent from the majority of it.

Download or read book When God Isn't There written by David Bowden and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does God feel so far away? Why is my worship so empty? Has God left me? David Bowden knows these questions firsthand, having wrestled for years with God’s apparent absence and studying what the Bible says about it. In this new book, Bowden tackles the subject head-on, finding the key to understanding it in the Bible’s depiction of a God who is infinitely far from us, free to move where he wants, but who chooses to come near in the person of Jesus. A resource of encouragement for those who struggle with feeling God’s absence and a wake-up call to those who take God’s presence for granted, When God Isn’t There will forever change your understanding of why God sometimes seems to vanish and how he can be found again. Praise for the work of David Bowden “Awesome and inspiring.”—Blake Mycoskie, Founder and Chief Shoe Giver at TOMS Shoes “David brings a fresh, engaging and highly impactful approach to Scripture. His passion for the Word is both contagious and inspirational.” —Roy Peterson, President of American Bible Society

Download or read book Absent Mother God of the West written by Neela Bhattacharya Saxena and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book about the missing Divine Feminine in Christianity and Judaism chronicles a personal as well as an academic quest of an Indian woman who grew up with Kali and myriad other goddesses. It is born out of a women's studies course created and taught by the author called The Goddess in World Religions. The book examines how the Divine Feminine was erased from the western consciousness and how it led to an exclusive spiritually patriarchal monotheism with serious consequences for both women’s and men’s psychological and spiritual identity. While colonial, proselytizing and patriarchal ways have denied the divinity inherent in the female of the species, a recent upsurge of body-centric practices like Yoga and innumerable books about old and new goddesses reveal a deep seated mother hunger in the western consciousness. Written from a practicing Hindu/Buddhist perspective, this book looks at the curious phenomenon called the Black Madonna that appears in Europe and also examines mystical figures like Shekhinah in Jewish mysticism. People interested in symbols of the goddess, feminist theologians, and scholars interested in the absence of goddesses in monotheisms may find this book’s perspective and insights provocative.

Download or read book The Book of Deus Desum written by Maurice Guy and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is in an innovative new format that resembles a coffee table book. It has the appeal of an Art or Photography book in that you can open it at any page and continue forward or backward and still be drawn into it without losing the essential theme. This fourth publication is a companion book for my second book called "So you have an invisible fear". Like "The Book of Atheioms", it highlights the main themes of my research on the subject of eventual traces or signs left by a hypothetical universal deity in natural phenomena and life on Earth. The book is built with large pages with "sound-bytes" as used and described in the Book of Atheioms. Each page can be the theme of a discussion, a debate or a presentation. Each page can be either cut out or copied as a flier to give out or share with a person or a group of persons.The book focuses on the Absent God, the one we can't find a trace of in rocks, fossils, animals and even Man. But, it also ends on a note of aspiration; religion being inexorably obsolete in today's modern world, it is time to help those who are prisoners of the "Guilt-Forever-Syndrome" of book 1, can hope for a cure through psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology and medical science as a whole. This is not your usual book on atheism, anti-theism or agnosticism. It is a book intended to walk the reader through rational, logical, and helpful approaches to an inevitable and clear understanding of our true position in the universe. Though there is some cynicism, some satire and a little of derision, all in all it's purpose is help every reader understand the role of science, its incredible sobriety, its indispensable utility and its absolute necessity in our modern world.Book 1 and its companion book (the book of Atheioms) establish the principle of Inaccessism and prove that scriptural religions have no authority on the divine. This book and its companion book (2), "So you have an invisible fear", abolishes any argument of Creationism, of Intelligent Design, of a Young Earth Hypothesis and abolishes any reasons for anyone to continue to fear their "invisible friend god". It is a masterful way to rid yourself, (or help anyone else who wishes), of the fear of an invisible, inaccessible Deity and of religion as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is God when I needed him most? Why he seems to be deaf to my pleas and supplications? Does he really care? These questions have been asked before our modern times by mystics, saints and people from all walks of life. These questions and doubts about God deserve honest answers, otherwise, Marx is right in saying that religion is the opium of the people. There are many answers to the upheavals of life. Some lost their faith in God. Others merely cease to pray. This book, God's Absence, tries to answer man's quest for meaning within the upheavals of life. Compiling the biblical personalities, mystics, saints and famous laymen's experiences of The Dark Night of their soul, the author presents historically and theologically how God seemingly absent is actually present
