This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NASA recently compiled data that brings religious teachings into question. We now know there are many galaxies like the Milky Way. We have observed the creation of bodies like the Earth. We have learned how galaxies are formed … and this does not occur in six days. While we have discovered that galaxies are millions of light-years distant from the Earth, we have not discovered Heaven. The great distance that Heaven appears to be from Earth questions the description of Jesus rising into Heaven. A Candid Dialog of Religious Opinions: A Belief in Science or a Belief in Prophets takes its cues from NASA, and should be a consideration in religious education.

Book Synopsis Mary on the Eve of the Second Vatican Council by : John C. Cavadini
Download or read book Mary on the Eve of the Second Vatican Council written by John C. Cavadini and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blessed Virgin Mary is uniquely associated with Catholicism, and the century preceding the Second Vatican Council was arguably the most fertile era for Catholic Marian studies. In 1964, Pope John Paul VI published the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, or Lumen Gentium (LG), the eighth chapter of which presents the most comprehensive magisterial teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary. As part of its Marian Initiative, the Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame invited scholars to a conference held at Notre Dame in October 2013 to reflect the rich Marian legacy on the eve of the Second Vatican Council. The essays unanimously stress that the Blessed Virgin Mary is not merely a peripheral figure in Christian faith and in the panorama of theology. More than fifty years after Lumen Gentium, students of theology as well as Marian devotees take their bearings from this document in order to promote the person of Mary and the study of Mariology, as well as grow in authentic Marian piety. This book will have great appeal to students and scholars of Catholic theology and history, particularly those interested in Mariology. Contributors: Ann W. Astell, Peter Casarella, John C. Cavadini, Lawrence S. Cunningham, Brian Daley, S.J., Peter J. Fritz, Kevin Grove, CSC, Msgr. Michael Heintz, Matthew Levering, Danielle M. Peters, James H. Phalan, CSC, Johann G.

Book Synopsis World Religions, True Beliefs and New Age Spirituality by : Xavier William
Download or read book World Religions, True Beliefs and New Age Spirituality written by Xavier William and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans tend to think and react in predetermined ways to trigger words, trigger situations and rituals, though the trigger and the reaction may have no apparent or logical interrelationships whatsoever. Seeing through such conditioned responses is the aim and purpose of this work. Thanks to our long gestation period, human beings are the most conditioned of animals. Though conditioning is very useful in most situations-for example, in learning how to dress-some conditioning, like racism, warps our minds and leads to avoidable conflicts and conflagrations. Author Xavier William believes that this distorted or warped conditioning is evident in many aspects of ordinary life, including: · Economics and politics · Ethics, morals and values · Religions and Superstitions · Traditions and taboos · Alternate medicines · Environmental issues · Sex and family relationships World Religions, True Beliefs And New Age Spirituality seeks to decondition and dewarp our minds from harmful doctrines, dogmas, and Parental and ethnic conditioning. In so doing, William argues, that violence and bloodshed can be significantly reduced or even eradicated. By employing clear-think and self-talk techniques, human beings can steer clear off the ruts of habitual or rhythmic thinking. With the rare insights in World Religions, True Beliefs And New Age Spirituality, people from seemingly incompatible ethnic backgrounds can build win-win relationships and a better world for all.
Book Synopsis Reading the Old Norse-Icelandic “Maríu saga” in Its Manuscript Contexts by : Daniel C. Najork
Download or read book Reading the Old Norse-Icelandic “Maríu saga” in Its Manuscript Contexts written by Daniel C. Najork and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maríu saga, the Old Norse-Icelandic life of the Virgin Mary, survives in nineteen manuscripts. While the 1871 edition of the saga provides two versions based on multiple manuscripts and prints significant variants in the notes, it does not preserve the literary and social contexts of those manuscripts. In the extant manuscripts Maríu saga rarely exists in the codex by itself. This study restores the saga to its manuscript contexts in order to better understand the meaning of the text within its manuscript matrix, why it was copied in the specific manuscripts it was, and how it was read and used by the different communities that preserved the manuscripts.
Book Synopsis Mary--Another Redeemer? by : James R. White
Download or read book Mary--Another Redeemer? written by James R. White and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New "Mary" Question Mary--Another Redeemer? explores Roman Catholic teachings about Mary from a biblical and historical perspective. Skilled and knowledgeable author James White traces how the Mary of the Bible--esteemed mother of the Lord, obedient servant and chosen vessel of God--has become the Immaculately Conceived, Bodily Assumed Queen of Heaven, viewed as Co-Mediator with Christ, and now widely recognized as Co-Redeemer by many in the Catholic Church. A calm, even-handed look at the woman the Bible calls "blessed among women"--and an invitation to single-minded devotion to God's truth.
Book Synopsis The Mushroom in Christian Art by : John A. Rush
Download or read book The Mushroom in Christian Art written by John A. Rush and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mushroom in Christian Art, author John A. Rush uses an artistic motif to define the nature of Christian art, establish the identity of Jesus, and expose the motive for his murder. Covering Christian art from 200 CE (common era) to the present, the author reveals that Jesus, the Teacher of Righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, is a personification of the Holy Mushroom, Amanita muscaria. The mushroom, Rush argues, symbolizes numerous mind-altering substances—psychoactive mushrooms, cannabis, henbane, and mandrake—used by the early, more experimentally minded Christian sects. Drawing on primary historical sources, Rush traces the history—and face—of Jesus as being constructed and codified only after 325 CE. The author relates Jesus’s life to a mushroom typology, discovering its presence, disguised, in early Christian art. In the process, he reveals the ritual nature of the original Christian cults, rites, and rituals, including mushroom use. The book authoritatively uncovers Jesus’s message of peace, love, and spiritual growth and proposes his murder as a conspiracy by powerful reactionary forces who would replace that message with the oppressive religious-political system that endures to this day. Rush’s use of the mushroom motif as a springboard for challenging mainstream views of Western religious history is both provocative and persuasive. The package includes a link to 252 striking color images depicting Christian art, with key motifs indicated by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 25 popes consider St. Thomas Aquinas the Church's preeminent theologian because he saw truths about God, our Faith, and the Christian life which had never been seen before. But do you have time to read the 3,000 pages in his Summa Theologica? Do you struggle to understand the abstract theological terms he uses in On Being and Essence?

In this book's lucid pages, you'll read small, digestible portions of St. Thomas's answers to questions such as... Why do souls need the sacraments? Why didn't Jesus write the Bible himself?

Book Synopsis THE ECUMENICAL IMPERATIVE AND FORMATION OF ECUMENICAL CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG PASTORAL WORKERS by : SEBASTIAN CHUKWUMA ANOKWULU
Download or read book THE ECUMENICAL IMPERATIVE AND FORMATION OF ECUMENICAL CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG PASTORAL WORKERS written by SEBASTIAN CHUKWUMA ANOKWULU and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of the Church as the instrument of unity had existed before Second Vatican Council; but the Council made the search for unity explicitly an imperative. From the Second Vatican Council emerged a more emphatic vision of the mission of the Church to the world in which ecumenism is no longer an option but an imperative. From the time of the Council onward, every Christian should positively respond to God's question to Cain: "Where is your brother?" (Gen. 4: 9). The ecumenical imperative is primarily the responsibility of pastoral workers. The book surveys in epochs the historical changes that has occurred in the Church up to Vatican II; reviews reception along the ages of the Church pointing to the uniqueness of Vatican II; and gives through biblical exegesis of 'conversion' a fresh understanding that will help pastoral workers to be ever conscious and ready to serve as Church's instrument of unity wherever they are. This book re-awakens the spirit of the Decree on Ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio), offering it to be properly received by all who pray with Christ for unity (Jn 17:21). It proposes pastoral suggestions on the practice of Ecumenism.
Book Synopsis Religious Liberty and the Hermeneutic of Continuity: Conservation and Development of Doctrine at Vatican II by : R. Michael Dunnigan
Download or read book Religious Liberty and the Hermeneutic of Continuity: Conservation and Development of Doctrine at Vatican II written by R. Michael Dunnigan and published by Emmaus Academic. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Vatican Council’s declaration Dignitatis Humanae marks a significant advance over prior magisterial teaching about the right to religious liberty, yet the nature of this advance has long been subject to controversy. Is it a true development, conserving and extending what came before? Or does it instead chart a new course entirely, rejecting and replacing the older teaching? In Religious Liberty and the Hermeneutic of Continuity, R. Michael Dunnigan takes up these pressing questions and offers a careful examination of how the claims of Dignitatis Humanae relate to the magisterial precedents set by the papacy in the nineteenth century. With precision and nuance, Dunnigan analyzes the object, scope, and foundation of the right to religious liberty itself, and his analysis culminates in the proposal that the “right” endorsed by Vatican II is not identical with the “rights” condemned by previous popes. Beyond establishing the claims of Dignitatis Humanae as a true development of prior teaching, Dunnigan shows that its contribution to the question of religious liberty has not yet received full appreciation. Indeed, Dunnigan demonstrates how the Vatican II declaration reaffirms, reinforces, and even revivifies prior magisterial teaching on religious liberty through its emphasis on human integrity, which emerges as a foundational but often overlooked principle of continuity.
Book Synopsis Redeeming Masculinity by : Peter D. Holmes
Download or read book Redeeming Masculinity written by Peter D. Holmes and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Paul II spoke of a feminine genius, using the phrase to describe the unique and positive contribution of women to relationships, the church, and society. What of men? There is considerable debate regarding the nature, roles, and responsibilities of men. What does the church have to say to a boy or young man searching for guidance in developing a genuinely Christian manhood? Or to parents, schools, and communities seeking to cultivate this in their young men? Or to the faithful seeking to understand the church’s teachings and to apply these in public and private life? This book seeks to answer the question: Is there a masculine genius? Is there a unique and positive contribution men bring to relationships, the church, and society?
Download or read book The Papacy written by Stephen K. Ray and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Papacy explains that without the Pope's divinely guided leadership, the Church would suffer the contradictions and the divisions that many Christian groups know firsthand. The teaching passed down from the apostles would be subject to arbitrary, relative, and numerous interpretations; holiness would be only a distant ideal; and the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church founded by Jesus would break apart. In describing the Pope's important and singular role as leader and teacher, the book addresses common misconceptions and objections to the papacy. It also explains how the papacy developed and how the Pope is elected. The authors present some great Popes in history, showing the qualities and the accomplishments that made them great. They demonstrate that the Pope is important not only for Catholics, but also for non-Catholic Christians and even non-Christians.
