Book excerpt: The Language of Creation is a commentary on the primeval stories from the book of Genesis. It is often difficult to recognize the spiritual wisdom contained in these narratives because the current scientific worldview is deeply rooted in materialism. Therefore, instead of looking at these stories through the lens of modern academic disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, or the physical sciences, this commentary attempts to interpret the Bible from its own cosmological perspective.By contemplating the ancient biblical model of the universe, The Language of Creation demonstrates why these stories are foundational to western science and civilization. It rediscovers the archaic cosmic patterns of heaven, earth, time, and space, and sees them repeated at different levels of reality. These fractal-like structures are first encountered in the narrative of creation and then in the stories of the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, and the flood. The same patterns are also revealed in the visions of Ezekiel, the book of Daniel, and the miracles of Moses. The final result of this contemplation is a vision of the cosmos centered on the role of human consciousness in creation.

Book excerpt: In view of the critical environmental problems confronting the modern world, reflection on the nature and meaning of the world and on humanity's place in it becomes increasingly important. While Christian theology has done this for centuries, the present situation calls for a serious rethinking of many issues in the light of contemporary physics, biology, and cultural history. The Gift of Being presents insights of the sciences in a way that is helpful for Christians today. Creation theology helps believers come to a stronger sense of their own identity as they come to an awareness of the world. This enables them to gain a deeper insight into how they ought to relate to that world if they wish to find meaning in their lives. This state of being requires a willingness to distinguish between the medium and the message in approaching the Scriptures. It also requires a willingness to take the sciences seriously. In The Gift of Being, Hayes focuses on traditional questions of creation, but also comments on where science is with creation, anthropology, and destiny. He begins by discussing the relation between faith and reason, and hence between theology and science, from a historical perspective, moving to the most current statements of modern Popes. He follows with a summary statement of the possible retrieval of the biblical religious insights that can be distinguished from the physical worldview that stands behind much of the biblical material. This allows for a discussion of the traditional concept of creation from nothing in the form of a conversation with contemporary physics. He then discusses the Christian idea of God as the primal mystery of creative love from whom all of creation flows. With these foundational ideas in place, Hayes looks at such questions as the origin of humanity and the failure of humanity throughout history. He then focuses on the tradition of cosmic Christology. Finally, the theological issues of the final outcome of God's creation and its history is discussed against the background of the current scientific projections of a future for the cosmos. Chapters are Science, the Bible, and Christianity," "The Vision of the Hebrew Scriptures," "Creation and the Christian Scriptures," "Creation from Nothing," "The Triune God, the Creator," "Humanity in the Cosmic Context," "Sin and Evil," "Christ and the Cosmos," and "Creation and the Future." Zachary Hayes, OFM, PhD, (1932-2014) was a professor of systematic theology at Catholic Theological Union. He taught and wrote extensively on matters related to the theological understanding of creation and the relation between theology and science. He was on the staff of the Chicago Center for Religion and Science. He was the author of Visions of a Future: A Study of Christian Eschatology from the New Theology Studies series published by The Liturgical Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's world demands an integrated attitude and vision toward all of life--an approach embraced and enhanced by the contributors to Earth, Wind, and Fire. In this scholarly and passionate work members of the Feminist Hermeneutics Task Force of the Catholic Biblical Association orchestrate an approach to understanding a feminist model of creation that is faithful to biblical tradition and celebrates the rich diversity of all creation. Inviting conversation between Bible and theology, feminist scholars and theologians, the contributing writers explore themes such as the significance of embodiment, the integrity of creation, the interconnectedness of humanity with other creatures, the evolutionary nature of creation, and integral connections between creation and salvation, ecojustice and human liberation. Both detailed and holistic, Earth, Wind, and Fire is a compelling, insightful, and reader-friendly approach to the creative artistry of God.

Book excerpt: Here we have a vivid description of the experiences and images evoked in the old Hebrews by the very sounds of their ancient language.The days of creation are compared with the description of evolution Rudolf Steiner gives in Occult Science -- An Outline and Theosophy of the Rosicrucian. They comprise the repetition of condition that preceded the solidifying of the Earth. The depth of detail gives a new dimension to the biblical story and to the creation of man as a spiritual being before he descended to take on a fleshly body. One is left with a feeling of awe at the sublime picture of the deeds of the Elohim and other hierarchies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patristic Understanding of Creation encapsulates what the Church Fathers had to say, in their own words, on the topic of creation. Going back to Roman and Byzantine times, the writings of the Church Fathers are basic to Christian theology and provide a benchmark for how Christians have traditionally understood creation. This understanding of creation, however, faces tremendous challenges in our day, especially in discussions at the intersection of science and religion. Process theology and other efforts to reconceptualize creation have explicitly opposed key elements of the Christian doctrine of creation: creation ex nihilo, the transcendence and immanence of God in creation, “the absolute creatureliness and non-self-sufficiency of the world" (to use a phrase of Fr. Georges Florovsky), the goodness of creation, and the openness of the world to divine action. All of these the Church Fathers not only held but also ably defended. This anthology is therefore not merely of academic or historical interest. In reasserting a theologically sound understanding of creation, this anthology fills a need that is both practical and urgent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his academic career Robert Crouse has insisted that the patristic and medieval philosophical and theological traditions, which have so profoundly shaped western culture, cannot be understood apart from the subtle and complex dialogue between Christianity and Hellenic culture out of which these traditions emerged. In this volume in Father Crouse’s honour, twenty-two eminent scholars from across North America and Europe examine various moments within the emergence of the doctrine of creation in the patristic and medieval periods, the Hebraic and Hellenic pre-history of this movement, as well as modern reactions to the partristic and medieval syntheses. Student and specialist alike will appreciate not only the depth of scholarly research clearly evident in the individual essays, but also the broad scope of the volume as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second and final book of the Creation Series. Book I explains how Creation started, everything that was in it, and how it all happened in great detail. Book II is about how all of Creation was controlled, how it acted upon that, and then grew in a stressful environment. There has just been a great war in the Second Dimension which completely redefined our existence and our upcoming futures. This is relative to your existence as free Spirit beings as well as while you're having a life in body. Learn about the six different ages of life on this planet, Atlantis and Lemuria, who settled here from other planets, the origins of Greek Mythology, and much more. This book also explains why things are as they are today, where we are headed, and what we are now becoming. Creation's format has been reversed. This is a permanent change, not a political strategy. With these two books you will understand where we all came from, how Creation was built, and where we are going individually and as a family. No one else has ever released this information as they were never able to see or allowed to retrieve it. The author, Jay Essex, has proved to numerous people and government agencies world wide that he has abilities never heard of or witnessed before. This enabled him to retrieve the following information, by actually being there re-witnessing it all while still being here. He also talks to the two different parts of a being's Kundalini, the Spirit of the Planet as well as the body's visiting Spirit, who you mostly are. This will change the way everyone views all religions and answer the questions that no one has every been able to until now. Who are we? Where did we come from? Who is God? What is Spirit? What came first, the chicken or the egg? It's actually quite simple. This book is about your history, the development of your own singular Spirit as well as how it was abused since the beginning of what we call time. It's time for you to have this information. Don't you think so too?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient mystery saying called on the human being to 'Know Yourself!' Rudolf Steiner explains that this maxim is not asking us to study subjectively our own personal character, but rather to come to a knowledge of our true, archetypal human nature - and with it the position we occupy in the universe. In these eloquent lectures - formerly published as Man, Hieroglyph of the Universe - Rudolf Steiner speaks of the human being as the model of creation, the primary focus of the cosmos. In an extensive exposition he talks of the constellation of cosmic forces, zodiac and planets amongst which we find ourselves situated. Only a true knowledge of our human nature and the spiritual forces which surround us - the microcosm within the greater macrocosm - can enable humanity to progress, he says. This book is an important contribution to that goal: the development of a contemporary spiritual science of the human being.
