Book Synopsis Power: Divine and Human by : Lucinda Mosher
Download or read book Power: Divine and Human written by Lucinda Mosher and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the Building Bridges Seminar, Power: Divine and Human, Christian and Muslim Perspectives, comprises pairs of essays by Christians and Muslims which introduce texts for dialogical study, plus the actual text-excerpts themselves. This new book goes far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for comparative theology, Power: Divine and Human is unique in that it takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in tone and structure, it is suitable for the non-specialist as well. Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture, interreligious relations, and political philosophy.

Book Synopsis Divine Scripture in Human Understanding by : Joseph K. Gordon
Download or read book Divine Scripture in Human Understanding written by Joseph K. Gordon and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In six closely-reasoned chapters, Joseph Gordon presents a detailed account of a Christian doctrine of Scripture in the fullest context of systematic theology. Divine Scripture in Human Understanding addresses the confusing plurality of contemporary approaches to Christian Scripture—both within and outside the academy—by articulating a traditionally grounded, constructive systematic theology of Christian Scripture. Utilizing primarily the methodological resources of Bernard Lonergan and traditional Christian doctrines of Scripture recovered by Henri de Lubac, it draws upon achievements in historical-critical study of Scripture, studies of the material history of Christian Scripture, reflection on philosophical hermeneutics and philosophical and theological anthropology, and other resources to articulate a unified but open horizon for understanding Christian Scripture today. Following an overview of the contemporary situation of Christian Scripture, Joseph Gordon identifies intellectual precedents for the work in the writings of Irenaeus, Origen, and Augustine, who all locate Scripture in the economic work of the God to whom it bears witness by interpreting it through the Rule of Faith. Subsequent chapters draw on Scripture itself; classical sources such as Irenaeus, Origen, Augustine, and Aquinas; the fruit of recent studies on the history of Scripture; and the work of recent scholars and theologians to provide a contemporary Christian articulation of the divine and human locations of Christian Scripture and the material history and intelligibility and purpose of Scripture in those locations. The resulting constructive position can serve as a heuristic for affirming the achievements of traditional, historical-critical, and contextual readings of Scripture and provides a basis for addressing issues relatively underemphasized by those respective approaches.
Book Synopsis Human Anguish and God's Power by : David H. Kelsey
Download or read book Human Anguish and God's Power written by David H. Kelsey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persons anguished by another's profound suffering are often outraged by well-intentioned efforts to console them which suggest that God 'sent' that horrific suffering to their loved one for a 'purpose' according to a tailor-made 'plan' for just that person. However, the outraged reaction simply deepens the anguish. This book argues that such 'consolation' is theologically problematic because it assumes that unrestricted power is what makes God 'God.' Against that it outlines an account of 'who' and 'what' the Triune God is, framed in terms of God's intrinsic 'glory,' the attractive and perfectly self-expressive self-giving in love that is God's life, and sets limits to the range of things we can say God 'does.' Correlatively it offers an account of different senses in which God is 'sovereign' and 'powerful', one which reflects three ways God relates to all else: to create, to bless eschatologically, and to reconcile, as is scripturally narrated.
Book Synopsis The Possibility Zone by : Nathan Seale
Download or read book The Possibility Zone written by Nathan Seale and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some point or the other, everyone experiences personal crisis, emotionally and mentally, reaching levels of utter despondency and despair. In some instances, these individuals require interventions which literally borders on the miraculous. Many fail to lift themselves out of such circumstances because they do not know how to access the resources which are able to move them to vitality of life and meaningful living. The reading of this book will instill hope for those who have come to the end of the road emotionally and spiritually. I want readers to know that a way out has already been prepared beforehand for them. They will learn why all things are possible, but why it doesnt happen, what process they need to follow to invite the miraculous into their lives and how they can live with vitality and dynamism. The Possibility Zone, The place where faith becomes reality, is a book which explores the realm which possesses all the resources for us to free ourselves from the grip of despondency. It teaches how God has put in place the mechanisms for us to live in vitality and meaningfulness. Examining of the causes of despondency, understanding the nature, design and purpose of the Possibility Zone and implementing the suggested life principles will help people to take hold of their great destinies which lie within their grasp.

Book Synopsis The Power of God by : Saint Thomas (Aquinas)
Download or read book The Power of God written by Saint Thomas (Aquinas) and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Power (De Potentia) is one of Aquinas's ''Disputed Questions'' (a systematic series of discussions of specific theological topics). It is a text which anyone with a serious interest in Aquinas's thinking will need to read. There is, however, no English translation of the De Potentia currently in print. Fr. Richard Regan has produced this abridgement, which passes over some of the full text while retaining what seems most important when it comes to following the flow of Aquinas's thought.
Book Synopsis Divine Powers in Late Antiquity by : Anna Marmodoro
Download or read book Divine Powers in Late Antiquity written by Anna Marmodoro and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is power the essence of divinity, or are divine powers distinct from divine essence? Are they divine hypostases or are they divine attributes? Are powers such as omnipotence, omniscience, etc. modes of divine activity? How do they manifest? In which way can we apprehend them? Is there a multiplicity of gods whose powers fill the cosmos or is there only one God from whom all power(s) derive(s) and whose power(s) permeate(s) everything? These are questions that become central to philosophical and theological debates in Late Antiquity (roughly corresponding to the period 2nd to the 6th centuries). On the one hand, the Pagan Neoplatonic thinkers of this era postulate a complex hierarchy of gods, whose powers express the unlimited power of the ineffable One. On the other hand, Christians proclaim the existence of only one God, one divine power or one 'Lord of all powers'. Divided into two main sections, the first part of Divine Powers in Late Antiquity examines aspects of the notion of divine power as developed by the four major figures of Neoplatonism: Plotinus (c. 204-270), Porphyry (c. 234-305), Iamblichus (c.245-325), and Proclus (412-485). It focuses on an aspect of the notion of divine power that has been so far relatively neglected in the literature. Part two investigates the notion of divine power in early Christian authors, from the New Testament to the Alexandrian school (Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Athanasius the Great) and, further, to the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa), as well as in some of these authors' sources (the Septuagint, Philo of Alexandria). The traditional view tends to overlook the fact that the Bible, particularly the New Testament, was at least as important as Platonic philosophical texts in the shaping of the early Christian thinking about the Church's doctrines. Whilst challenging the received interpretation by redressing the balance between the Bible and Greek philosophical texts, the essays in the second section of this book nevertheless argue for the philosophical value of early Christian reflections on the notion of divine power. The two groups of thinkers that each of the sections deal with (the Platonic-Pagan and the Christian one) share largely the same intellectual and cultural heritage; they are concerned with the same fundamental questions; and they often engage in more or less public philosophical and theological dialogue, directly influencing one another.

Book Synopsis Divine Will and Human Choice by : Richard A. Muller
Download or read book Divine Will and Human Choice written by Richard A. Muller and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fresh study from an internationally respected scholar of the Reformation and post-Reformation eras shows how the Reformers and their successors analyzed and reconciled the concepts of divine sovereignty and human freedom. Richard Muller argues that traditional Reformed theology supported a robust theory of an omnipotent divine will and human free choice and drew on a tradition of Western theological and philosophical discussion. The book provides historical perspective on a topic of current interest and debate and offers a corrective to recent discussions.

Download or read book Power and Poverty written by Dewi Hughes and published by IVP Academic. This book was released on 2009-02-04 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history poverty has been largely unnecessary. And yet throughout history some of the earth's population have enjoyed an abundance of the goods available while others have suffered want of the most basic goods needed to sustain life. In this wide-ranging, challenging book, Dewi Hughes argues that poverty is rooted in the way human beings use and abuse power. The Scriptures remind us, as we do the work of the church, that who we are, what we say and what we do under God are inseparable-that the kingdom of God is not merely a matter of words, but of power.
