Book Synopsis Christianity Without God by : Lloyd Geering
Download or read book Christianity Without God written by Lloyd Geering and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the failure of the conventional idea of God spell the end of the Christian tradition? Or does it simply mean the end of conventional Christian doctrine? Christianity without God affirms the latter, treating Christian culture as a living and evolving stream. In this cogently argued book, Lloyd Geering brings the resources of his deep scholarship to look at what the world really needs from contemporary religion. His inspiration is the cultivation of the wisdom of Christianity, not a dependence on beliefs about a supernatural saviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post-Christian era offers a mixed blessing, as people find greater personal freedom while facing a future without the certainty of traditional beliefs and practices. In Tomorrow’s God, renowned writer and commentator Lloyd Geering argues that the world we live in is largely a product of our own making. Thus ‘God’, a central symbol of meaning, is entirely a human creation. Geering urges us to consciously create new meaning for our lives in a work that is a distillation of a lifetime’s reading and reflection on religious and social questions.

Book Synopsis Geering and God: 1965–71 by : Lloyd Geering
Download or read book Geering and God: 1965–71 written by Lloyd Geering and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his long life Lloyd Geering has wrestled with ‘God’, the deepest fundamental questions of human identity and making sense of living in this world in relationship with others. His great legacy is in provoking people to think about these questions for themselves, for the wellbeing of society and for the world. Allan K. Davidson, Foreword The events surrounding the ‘trial’ of Professor Lloyd Geering for ‘heresy’ in the late 1960s were unprecedented in New Zealand history. In the late 1960s Lloyd Geering became a public figure among New Zealanders when he was charged with ‘doctrinal error’ – generally referred to as ‘heresy’ – and ‘disturbing the peace and unity of the [Presbyterian] church’. Led by a group of conservative laymen, the charges were brought before the church’s General Assembly in Christchurch in 1967 but were eventually dismissed. These dramatic events and those that followed through to 1971 are described in Lloyd Geering’s own words in this BWB Text, sourced from his autobiography Wrestling With God.

Book Synopsis Tomorrow's God by : Lloyd George Geering
Download or read book Tomorrow's God written by Lloyd George Geering and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Tomorrow's God Lloyd Geering offers the distillation of a lifetime's reading and reflection on religious questions. He argues that the world we live in is largely a product of our own making, and that we supply its meaning. Thus 'God', a central symbol of meaning, is entirely a human creation. He traces the collective 'drift towards meaning' that gave rise to the various religions, and explores the reasons they are now in decline." "Geering argues that, for our own survival, we must consciously create new meaning for our lives. We must focus - and urgently - on caring for the earth. But new systems of meaning can only evolve out of our cultural past, and Geering shows how the Christian tradition may lead towards a new world of meaning."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Looking for Darwin by : Lloyd Spencer Davis
Download or read book Looking for Darwin written by Lloyd Spencer Davis and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning zoologist travels in Charles Darwin's footsteps, and in search of the meaning of life. In one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, zoologist Lloyd Spencer Davis comes face to face with an enraged leopard seal. Towering ice cliffs, a ferocious creature of the deep, and the extreme Antarctic environment all turn Davis's world view on its head. 'What the hell am I doing here?' This question sets Davis on a quest for insight and meaning in a world that still pitches theories of evolution against belief in a Creator; the science of natural selection against a faith that asserts our world was crafted by Intelligent Design. With a self-deprecating grin packed along with his cabin baggage - even when his passport isn't - Davis decides to follow the travels of the eminent nineteenth-century naturalist, Charles Darwin: the man who did more to change our understanding of this planet than any other biologist. Looking for Darwin gives us a personal and intimate insight into Darwin and what drove the man. It is also an attempt to resolve that initially panicked — and then far-reaching — question, that first hit Davis on the big ice. With a wealth of research and vivid imagery — along with a disarming honesty —Lloyd Spencer Davis takes the reader on an unforgettable world tour.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of New Zealand by : Janine Hayward
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of New Zealand written by Janine Hayward and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diverse elements have created New Zealand’s distinctive political and social culture. First is New Zealand’s journey as a colony, and the various impacts this had on settler and Maori society. The second theme is the quest for what one prominent historian has labelled ‘national obsessions’ – equality and security, both individual and collective. The third, and more recent, theme is New Zealand’s emergence as a nation with a unique identity. New Zealand’s small geographic size and relative isolation from other societies, the dominant influence of British culture, the resurgence of Maori language and culture, the endemic instability of an economy based on a narrow range of pastoral products, and the dominance of the state in the lives of its people, all help to explain much of the present-day New Zealand psyche. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of New Zealand contains a chronology, an introduction, appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about New Zealand.
