Book Synopsis Beyond Faith and Reason by : Tim Holmes
Download or read book Beyond Faith and Reason written by Tim Holmes and published by Tim Holmes. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events of the last one hundred years call for serious reflection and revolution in thought. If one were to write about the state of mankind with an unblinking eye, what would emerge are the thoughts contained in this book. In disrupting the trust inherent in the validity of core foundations of western thought, Holmes emerges with a fresh existential view of the human person. A view which not only sublimates faith and reason to their authentic positions but also elevates affectivity and aesthetics to a new more insightful level of understanding. In light of this, proponents of metaphysics will find a new, more nuanced, understanding of the intricacies of the human person. In short, a bold new call to a profound post-modern humanism.
Book Synopsis What Lies Beyond? by : Howard Dimond
Download or read book What Lies Beyond? written by Howard Dimond and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near the end of his life, Nicolaus Copernicus began what became known as a revolution in scientific thought. His findings showed that the Earth was not at the center of the heavens, as had previously been believed. Equally, Galileo was inspired with his own discoveries, only to have a sentence against him, delivered on 22 June 1633. At this inquisition, Galileo was found guilty of heresy. He was compelled to stop supporting the growing revolution of thought, which reinforced Copernicuss belief on the path of orbiting spheres. These early researchers were seen as a threat to the teachings of biblical scholars and to what had been passed on down through the ages. To many others, these men were seen as pioneering researchers who lived in an inspiring age of enlightenment. The frustration felt in their quest for knowledge was more than matched by the authority and ignorance of the church, which chose to accept the Holy Scriptures as they had been written. This was not the first time early researchers with enquiring minds were accused of dissent as a means of controlling religious beliefs. The power to suppress original thought is not new. Opposing any changes in belief, using the influences of ridicule, scorn, and derision exists today. Attempting to understand our greater universal expanse has been confined to parochial debates for centuries. This novel continues the pioneering quest for truth, which faced injustice in its early stages. A quest that sees mankind finally freed from historic levels of influential control, which preceded the churches growing narrow-minded intolerance. Michael and his great friend Oats are two scientists who have resumed this challenge to uncover the secrets, which have been concealed for centuries and over thousands of years. Their quest follows an elementary analysis from our earliest of times, to unravel insightful answers to so many of our unsolved global mysteries. To find the hidden unknowns preventing peace, on a world still plagued with endless turmoil and global conflicts. To reveal this history of spiritual and idealistic belief, Michael and Oats began, by following a quite extraordinary chain of fascinating and remarkable events. A skillfully reconstructed existence regression unearths the innocence of what an educated society has been taught for centuries. While faith in the future of mankinds age of inspiration and enlightenment is restored and returned to humanity once more.
Book Synopsis Beyond Belief by : Robert P. Vande Kappelle
Download or read book Beyond Belief written by Robert P. Vande Kappelle and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current age marks the transition from modernity to postmodernity, a period as impactful to the Western sensibility as any previous era. The role of religion and the future of Christianity are at stake. At this time of transition, many thoughtful individuals find themselves at a quandary, having reached a critical stage in their spiritual journey. Prompted by academia, science, reason, culture, and their own experience, they feel compelled to choose between the beliefs they inherited as children and the claims of science, reason, pluralism, and secularism. Beyond Belief suggests that one need not take an either/or approach on these issues; there is a better way, one that embraces adventure and ambiguity, science and religion, reason and faith, evolution and creation, and finds ways to live creatively with realities for which there are no easy explanations. Building on a paradigmatic journey of faith that involves three stages (precritical, critical, and postcritical understanding), Beyond Belief describes the quest for God and for authentic faith in the twenty-first century. The key point for this understanding is to replace belief with faith, acknowledging that belief in doctrines is not central, since they are themselves unprovable. This new theological perspective requires rethinking many of our cherished doctrines, including our understanding of God, Jesus, Scripture, prayer, miracles, and revelation.
Book Synopsis Plough Quarterly No. 21 - Beyond Capitalism by : David Bentley Hart
Download or read book Plough Quarterly No. 21 - Beyond Capitalism written by David Bentley Hart and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a better way than capitalism? A much-cited recent poll found that more young Americans have a positive view of socialism than of capitalism. There's a sense of newly opened possibilities: Might this be the moment for a mass movement of solidarity to overthrow the tyranny of concentrated power and wealth? But what exactly is this cause? Socialism's champions know how to take effective whacks at capitalism, but diagnosis is not yet the cure. This issue of Plough springs from a conviction that there is a better answer beyond capitalism and socialism, a freely chosen life of sharing and caring that overcomes economic exploitation, a way of life that is both thoroughly practical and independent of the state. This vision is much older than Adam Smith and Karl Marx; it lies at the heart of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and throughout the New Testament, as well as in the writings of the Old Testament prophets. It is exemplified by the communal life of the first church in Jerusalem, in which "all who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need" (Acts 2:44-45). Also in this issue: poetry by Jane Tyson Clement; reviews of books by Jennifer Berry Hawes, Robert Macfarlane, Emily Bazelon, and John Connell; and art and photography by Wassily Kandinsky, N. C. Wyeth, Deborah Batt, Kari Nielsen, Chris Arnade, William Morris, Hilzías Salazar, Amedeo Modigliani, Benjamin Meader, Bianca Berends, Elise Palmigiani, and Danny Burrows. Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus' message into practice and find common cause with others.
Download or read book Live Not by Lies written by Rod Dreher and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers. For years, émigrés from the former Soviet bloc have been telling Rod Dreher they see telltale signs of "soft" totalitarianism cropping up in America--something more Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty-Four. Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to "safety". Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation. In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, Live Not By Lies teaches American Christians a method for resistance: • SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation. • JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true. • ACT: Take action to protect truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.
Book Synopsis The Wounded Angel by : Paul Lakeland
Download or read book The Wounded Angel written by Paul Lakeland and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique book, readers are taken on a journey to explore the role of the imagination in the face of mystery, whether it be the mystery of God, whose full reality lies beyond our earthly horizons, or the deepest mysteries of life hinted at in the work of fiction. By attending to a series of novels, Paul Lakeland proposes serious fiction as an antidote to the failure of the religious imagination today and shows how literature might lead the secular mind at least to the threshold of mystery.
Book Synopsis Faith Crisis, Volume 1: We Were NOT Betrayed! by : L. Hannah Stoddard
Download or read book Faith Crisis, Volume 1: We Were NOT Betrayed! written by L. Hannah Stoddard and published by Joseph Smith Foundation. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After working with thousands of struggling members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over many years, the authors decided to write a book offering hope and answers for those struggling with faith crisis. Unbeknownst to the general Church membership, the 20th century would witness an organized effort to rewrite Latter-day Saint history from within its own ranks. In a head-to-head, behind-the-scenes-battle, traditional leaders resisted intellectual progressives working in the Church History Department and at BYU, who claimed some forty years ago that it would take a generation to re-educate the Church membership. Where are we in this attempted re-education? What is the New Mormon History, and how does it personally affect you and your family? Join us as we explore newly-available diaries, review old books, and bring untold history into the light! Progressives claim the Church covered up its history for nearly 200 years. Is the current faith crisis stemming from unmasked history . . . or new interpretations? Why did New Mormon Historians insist Hofmann’s forgeries were legitimate, even when investigators provided convincing evidence to them of the hoax? How did Bruce R. McConkie know Hofmann’s Joseph Smith III blessing was a fake, despite authentication by document experts and pressure by historians calling him “incompetent” for questioning? Who were the “Swearing Elders”? How did this group of progressive Latter-day Saints reshape the identity of Mormonism? Why did Carol Lynn Pearson and Leonard Arrington share cards that read, “History is on our side—as long as we can control the historians?” Leonard Arrington shared that an “invisible higher power” commissioned him to rewrite or reconstruct our dominant narrative of the Restoration. Did God want our history changed? Why did Leonard Arrington say the First Vision, Nephites and gold plates were part of the Mormon “myth”? Why did Leonard Arrington note that if he were honest about his beliefs, “not many” Latter-day Saints would “want [him] to teach their children”? How did this affect his career as Church Historian and later at BYU? Progressives, working in the Church History Department and at BYU, claimed 40 years ago it would take a generation to re-educate the Church. Where are we in this re-education? “The research and findings in this volume are truly history altering. Using newly released documents, combined with deep knowledge of Church History, the Stoddards are bringing to light what could be termed a “soft coup d’état” of the Church’s scriptures and prophets by progressive historians, bent on altering its history. Hold tight to your faith in the history held by the church for over 150 years and the teachings of our prophets as you discover how deep this attempted takeover has infiltrated, and altered, our sacred history.” (Rod Meldrum, researcher, best-selling Latter-day Saint author, & international lecturer) “Years ago, we stopped going to church. Suddenly, God awakened me and brought me back into the fold. As I hungered and learned more about the restoration, it was upsetting to hear things being said about Joseph that I KNEW were not true. I hit a major faith crisis. Right as I was about to leave the church and follow another sect that follows the teachings of the Book of Mormon, I read the Stoddard’s Faith Crisis book. This book, along with promptings and teachings from the spirit helped me navigate through many questions. This book only helped grow my testimony of the truthfulness of the restoration of the gospel and of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I now stand strong in the Faith and know that I am in the only true church. I’m so thankful for the Joseph Smith Foundation and the many hours put in toward helping others stay strong in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!” (Latter-day Saint mother of six)

Book Synopsis Lies We Believe About God by : Wm. Paul Young
Download or read book Lies We Believe About God written by Wm. Paul Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.
