Book excerpt: In book twenty of the forty books which compose the Revival of the Religious Sciences (Ihya' 'ulum al-din), Abu hamid al-Ghazali gives a full account of the customs and character of the Messenger of God, Muhammad. It is not a biography of Muhammad (peace and blessing of God be upon him) but a roadmap for those who want to strengthen their faith, increase their knowledge, and deepen their understanding of the second part of the testimony of faith, namely the first pillar of Islam. The author details the Messenger's noble nature and his miracles, while removing doubts regarding his message. He deals with the issue of the imitation of Muhammad (peace and blessing of God be upon him) noting that the ultimate source of knowledge is revelation from God which comes to us through the Messenger. This volume lays clear that the aim of the imam in this Series is to call for a return to the Sunna and the imitation of the Messenger in all aspects of life.

Book Synopsis Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets by : Joseph Jensen
Download or read book Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets written by Joseph Jensen and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do the Old Testament prophets have a stake in modern ethics? They had a great impact in shaping Israel's ethics, and they should also have an impact on ours, writes biblical scholar Joseph Jensen. In Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets, Jensen shows us how the prophets never soft-peddled God's message. Jeremiah lashed out against a tyrannical king. Hosea accused Israel of harlotry for worshiping false gods. And Amos railed about the God's wrath because Israel failed to behave compassionately toward the weak and the poor. Jensen wants readers to hear the prophets in their own terms as they addressed their biblical contemporaries. Yet he asserts that the teachings of the prophets contain valuable lessons for us to ponder and apply today, particularly when it comes to social justice. This book is designed for readers eager to move beyond an introductory understanding of the Bible.

Book Synopsis Prophets of the Posthuman by : Christina Bieber Lake
Download or read book Prophets of the Posthuman written by Christina Bieber Lake and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prophets of the Posthuman provides a fresh and original reading of fictional narratives that raise the question of what it means to be human in the face of rapidly developing bioenhancement technologies. Christina Bieber Lake argues that works by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walker Percy, Flannery O'Connor, Toni Morrison, George Saunders, Marilynne Robinson, Raymond Carver, James Tiptree, Jr., and Margaret Atwood must be reevaluated in light of their contributions to larger ethical questions. Drawing on a wide range of sources in philosophical and theological ethics, Lake claims that these writers share a commitment to maintaining a category of personhood more meaningful than that allowed by utilitarian ethics. Prophets of the Posthuman insists that because technology can never ask whether we should do something that we have the power to do, literature must step into that role. Each of the chapters of this interdisciplinary study sets up a typical ethical scenario regarding human enhancement technology and then illustrates how a work of fiction uniquely speaks to that scenario, exposing a realm of human motivations that might otherwise be overlooked or simplified. Through the vision of the writers she discusses, Lake uncovers a deep critique of the ascendancy of personal autonomy as America’s most cherished value. This ascendancy, coupled with technology’s glamorous promises of happiness, helps to shape a utilitarian view of persons that makes responsible ethical behavior toward one another almost impossible. Prophets of the Posthuman charts the essential role that literature must play in the continuing conversation of what it means to be human in a posthuman world.

Download or read book Prophetic Ethics written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Israel's prophets are enigmatic, eccentric characters, who shock us with their disturbing preaching and bizarre behavior. Eccentricities aside, we ought not to dismiss them or their message. By consistently linking right worship with right living, the prophets reminded the people of Israel that their religious observance and how they lived the 'rest' of their lives were inseparable. By drawing on their tradition, today's prophets continue to build up the church to become a prophetic voice to the culture around it. Our contributors invite us to ask: Who are the prophets today? Who, by their prophetic action and teaching, help us discern the vision of God for our culture and inspire us to enter the works of God's kingdom? Christian Reflection is an ideal resource for discipleship training in the church. Multiple copies are available for group study at $3.00 per copy. The study guides and lesson plans integrate Bible study, prayer, and worship to help us understand our discipleship in light of the biblical prophetic tradition. The guides can be used in a series or individually. You may download and reproduce them for personal or group use"--Baylor.edu.
Book Synopsis Prophetic and Public by : Kristin E. Heyer
Download or read book Prophetic and Public written by Kristin E. Heyer and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States was founded on a commitment to religious tolerance. Based on this commitment, it has become one of the most religiously diverse and religiously observant liberal democracies in the world. Inherent in this political reality is the question, "What is the appropriate relationship between religious beliefs and public life?" This is not a new question, but in contemporary US politics it has become a particularly insistent one. In this intelligent, wide-ranging book, Kristin Heyer provides new and nuanced answers. Prophetic and Public employs the discourse of public theology to consider what constitutes appropriate religio-political engagement. According to Heyer, public theology connects religious faith, concepts, and practices to their public relevance for the wider society. Her use of public theology concepts to address the appropriate possibilities and limits for religio-political engagement in the United States is both useful and enlightening. Heyer approaches the relationship between public morality and religious commitment through the example of the Catholic Church. She looks at two prominent Catholics—Michael Baxter and Bryan Hehir—as a way of discussing norms for practice of public theology. Heyer also analyzes case studies of three US Catholic advocacy groups: The US Conference of Catholic Bishops, NETWORK, and Pax Christi USA. Through her analysis she shows the various ways that the organizations' Catholic identity impacts their social and political efforts. From her investigations come norms that define possibilities and limits for political actions based on religious conviction. This deeply thoughtful book examines what is truly fundamental and inescapable about public life and private religious belief in the United States. In doing so, it makes skillful use of the tools of theology, philosophy, law, and advocacy to demonstrate that the Catholic Church reveals great diversity in its public theology, providing legitimate options for a faithful response to urgent political issues.

Book excerpt: Written by Christian International ordained minister and former Charisma magazine editor, Prophetic Protocols & Ethics is full of guidelines and practical wisdom that, when practiced, will ensure the prophets, seers and prophetic people flow accurately and maintain credibility.

This book offers 101 prophetic protocols and ethics, with scriptural guidance and true stories that will help you gain valuable insight even if you haven't experienced some of the issues put forth. The protocols are not aimed to be restrictive or legalistic, but to put banks on the river of your prophetic flow so you can see more fruit and less controversy.

Book Synopsis Path of the Prophets by : Barry L. Schwartz
Download or read book Path of the Prophets written by Barry L. Schwartz and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminating the ethical legacy of the biblical prophets, Path of the Prophets identifies the prophetic moment in the lives of eighteen biblical figures and demonstrates their compelling relevance to us today. While the Bible almost exclusively names men as prophets, Rabbi Barry L. Schwartz celebrates heroic, largely unknown biblical women such as Shiphrah, Tirzah, and Hannah. He also deepens readers’ interpretations of more familiar biblical figures not generally thought of as prophets, such as Joseph, Judah, and Caleb. Schwartz introduces the prophets with creative, first-person retellings of their decisive experiences, followed by key biblical narratives, context, and analysis. He weighs our heroes’ and heroines’ legacies—their obstacles and triumphs—and considers how their ethical examples live on; he guides us on how to integrate biblical-ethical values into our lives; and he challenges each of us to walk the prophetic path today.
Book Synopsis Double Standards in Isaiah by : Andrew Davies
Download or read book Double Standards in Isaiah written by Andrew Davies and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Double Standards in Isaiah examines from a reader-orientated perspective the ethical teaching of the largest and most important of the prophetic books, and addresses the most crucial ethical issue in biblical studies: how can Yahweh justly demand such high standards of conduct for his people when he fails to live by them himself? The author considers the role of this dilemma throughout Isaiah, concluding that the 'double standards' in operation are, for Isaiah, the inevitable by-product of the prophet's vision of Yahweh's exalted status and moral superiority. This provocative book offers a unique and creative approach to the difficulty of representing the character and conduct of God, and will be essential reading for students of Isaiah and anyone with an interest in the many ethical problems of the Hebrew Bible.

Book Synopsis Prophecy and Ethics by : Eryl W. Davies
Download or read book Prophecy and Ethics written by Eryl W. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1981-10-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study attempts to examine the role of tradition in the teaching of Isaiah with a view to discerning the basis of the ethics presupposed by the prophet. The view that Isaiah's ethical pronouncements were dependent upon the legal, covenantal and wisdom traditions of Israel is discussed, and the possibility of a direct dependence on the oracles of his contemporary, Amos, is examined. Davies shows that the whole question of the influence of tradition on the thought of Isaiah is fraught with problems.

Book Synopsis Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching Volume I by : Evelyn Theresa Watson
Download or read book Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching Volume I written by Evelyn Theresa Watson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching is the culmination of the author Evelyn Theresa Watson's forty years of biblical research that authenticates the Bible's statutory code of ethics. The code, representing the moral principles of covenant law, judgment, and statute manner, is disclosed in a pattern of doctrinal precepts within metaphoric and parabolic prophecy. This pattern evolved into doctrinal guidelines that appear on the only Bible-based slide rule of its kind, the Mortal/ Immortal Golden Rule of Measure. Volume I consists of a manual with illustrations of Old and New Testament text that show the reader how to use the Ark of the Covenant terms on the ruler to loose the seals of biblical prophecy. The present century marks four thousand years of Judaic Christian history and the end times of biblical prophecy. This recorded time period completes the history of the former Judaic generations and the latter Christian generation in their search for God. However, the search continues for an all-inclusive deity that will unite all nations in the universality of one God. The world's search for a unifying deity will advance when individuals accept the one true God based on Genesis One as the reality of "it was good... and it was so." The author's commentary offers the reader an opportunity to become a scholar of honor testifying to the efficacy of scriptural and gospel prophecy.
