Book Synopsis A Rational Approach To The Bible by : Aemilius
Download or read book A Rational Approach To The Bible written by Aemilius and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between mankind and God, there is a secret missing link that humanity has forgotten. This book is the first in a series of books that seeks to explain in great detail the meaning behind the world's most renowned religions as well as the true nature of reality. As children, religion is not provided to us as a system of choice but rather enforced upon us by our parents and peers. It gives us a certain identity and ties us to a certain group of people who hold the same ""sacred cause"" while dooming everyone else as ""profane"". We then spend our entire lives defending this religion as it literally dictates our identity, as false as it may be. The child rarely understands his religion as he lacks the proper tools to dissect and analyze it verse by verse. This is the book you wish you had in your childhood as your personal unbiased mentor who sheds light on millennia's endarkened scriptures. The purpose of this book is to help the child as well as the adult to navigate his way through the bible.

Book Synopsis Canon Revisited by : Michael J. Kruger
Download or read book Canon Revisited written by Michael J. Kruger and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the popular-level conversations on phenomena like the Gospel of Thomas and Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, as well as the current gap in evangelical scholarship on the origins of the New Testament, Michael Kruger's Canon Revisited meets a significant need for an up-to-date work on canon by addressing recent developments in the field. He presents an academically rigorous yet accessible study of the New Testament canon that looks deeper than the traditional surveys of councils and creeds, mining the text itself for direction in understanding what the original authors and audiences believed the canon to be. Canon Revisited provides an evangelical introduction to the New Testament canon that can be used in seminary and college classrooms, and read by pastors and educated lay leaders alike. In contrast to the prior volumes on canon, this volume distinguishes itself by placing a substantial focus on the theology of canon as the context within which the historical evidence is evaluated and assessed. Rather than simply discussing the history of canon—rehashing the Patristic data yet again—Kruger develops a strong theological framework for affirming and authenticating the canon as authoritative. In effect, this work successfully unites both the theology and the historical development of the canon, ultimately serving as a practical defense for the authority of the New Testament books.

Book Synopsis A Jungian and Psychoanalytic Approach to Biblical Myth and Religion by : Lionel Corbett
Download or read book A Jungian and Psychoanalytic Approach to Biblical Myth and Religion written by Lionel Corbett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-12-23 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes some of the major psychological processes that underpin various biblical stories and some of the theological speculation to which they have given rise. Psychological biblical criticism, as described here, is suggested as an alternative or supplement to historical-cultural, textual, philological, literary, and other types of biblical criticism. Using a combination of Jungian and psychoanalytic theory, Corbett shows how some biblical material arises from human psychodynamics, while some originates in the archetypal level of the psyche and is further elaborated as it passes through the human level of the psyche. The author addresses some of the traditional anxieties about psychological approaches to biblical stories. He views Jung’s approach as an evolving mythology of the sacred that offers an alternative to purely theological approaches to the Bible and to the traditions that emerged from it. This book will be of value to practicing psychotherapists and analysts, particularly those who treat patients with a religious background, as well as trainees, clergy, and graduate students in this area.

Book Synopsis God Versus the Idea of God by : Thomas Richard Harry
Download or read book God Versus the Idea of God written by Thomas Richard Harry and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind, society, and cultures have progressed over the past two millenniums but the Church seems to have not kept up. Is it the Churchs obligation to adapt? Yes, to some degree, it is if it wants to continue to be considered relevant...a significant issue today is reason vs. revelation. But because the Church claims it alone possesses the truth, and truth is immutable (but is, however, subject to context), it seems reluctant to demonstrate willingness to adapt tradition to a changed world. Today we have a great deal of accumulated knowledge and scholarship that at least suggests some of the Churchs teachings are not immune to questionwhich produces skepticism, which in turn erodes faith. This book is intended to respectfully address these questions from a laymans perspective, for the potential benefit of other lay-persons of all ages and conviction (or lack thereof).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the vital leadership role that true religion must play in society in order to be relevant for the threatening challenges and in order to be true to the mission and the high calling of God in Christ in this 21st Century. To highlight this challenge, the author brings forth a most difficult and bothersome question that has evolved out of the dynamic mix of cultural diversity in, That question is: How can the Christian Americans hold on to their patriotism for America and their loyalty to Jesus Christ with uncompromising conviction, and yet, be inclusive of the growing influx of cultural diversity and religious pluralism in a high technological society? This book provides the theological foundation for validating the Christian and American heritage in America; and how this unique heritage must learn how to relate, redemptively, to cultural diversity, ecumenism, universalism and the world. The enlightening principles and practice of public theology offer a ray of light and a star of hope out of the darkness.
Book Synopsis Hugo Grotius and the Century of Revolution, 1613-1718 by : Marco Barducci
Download or read book Hugo Grotius and the Century of Revolution, 1613-1718 written by Marco Barducci and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo Grotius and the Century of Revolution, 1613-1718 is a reconstruction of the way Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) was read and used by English political and religious writers in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Engaging with the reception of all of Grotius's key works and a wide range of topics, the volume has much to say about the search for peace in an age of religious conflict and about the cultural roots of the Enlightenment. Most of all, Marco Barducci aims to deepen our understanding of the connections that made English political thought part of the history of European thought. To this end, it brings together a succinct account of Grotius's own thinking on key topics, mapping these accounts within English debates, to show why his ideas were seen to be relevant at key moments; shows awareness of the possibilities for the misappropriation inherent in reception; and adds something new to our understanding of why seventeenth-century Englishmen argued in the ways that they did.
