Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Testament shouldn’t be complicated. So why are we often confused? Every Christian wants to love the Bible. But let’s face it: we sometimes get lost in all the names, places, and doctrines that we find in its pages. Who wrote this epistle? Which book is about justification? Joy? Jesus? Aren’t they all about him? The New Testament contains complex ideas and multiple genres. Keeping it straight can be hard to do. Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody who understands the big picture would put it together for us in one place? Biblical scholar and seminary professor Patrick Schreiner draws from his years of experience as a teacher to offer a simple and memorable way of understanding Scripture. And he doesn’t do it by throwing big words at you. The contours of the New Testament and its underlying structure are depicted in visual format along with Schreiner’s clear explanations. In The Visual Word, the Bible comes alive because you can see it pictured before your eyes. By taking a graphic approach, you’ll notice connections you’ve never seen before. Gain insights you’ve missed all these years. And discover an overall pattern that makes each separate piece fall perfectly into place. Don’t settle for mere summaries of the New Testament. Let Schreiner’s concise words and crisp images work together to help you encounter the Living Word in a fresh way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a world-renowned painter, an exploration of creativity’s quintessential—and often overlooked—role in the spiritual life “Makoto Fujimura’s art and writings have been a true inspiration to me. In this luminous book, he addresses the question of art and faith and their reconciliation with a quiet and moving eloquence.”—Martin Scorsese “[An] elegant treatise . . . Fujimura’s sensitive, evocative theology will appeal to believers interested in the role religion can play in the creation of art.”—Publishers Weekly Conceived over thirty years of painting and creating in his studio, this book is Makoto Fujimura’s broad and deep exploration of creativity and the spiritual aspects of “making.” What he does in the studio is theological work as much as it is aesthetic work. In between pouring precious, pulverized minerals onto handmade paper to create the prismatic, refractive surfaces of his art, he comes into the quiet space in the studio, in a discipline of awareness, waiting, prayer, and praise. Ranging from the Bible to T. S. Eliot, and from Mark Rothko to Japanese Kintsugi technique, he shows how unless we are making something, we cannot know the depth of God’s being and God’s grace permeating our lives. This poignant and beautiful book offers the perspective of, in Christian Wiman’s words, “an accidental theologian,” one who comes to spiritual questions always through the prism of art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the political and religious crossroads where John Calvin and the Protestant Reformation had taken hold, the Catholic Diocese of Geneva struggled to convert their Protestant neighbors back to the Catholic Church while maintaining a tradition of piety and a firm disciplinary hand. This critical study examines the success of Catholic counter-reform in key rural villages and looks at the significant role played by Bishop François de Sales, who had the unusual challenge of dealing with the two political authorities of Savoy and France. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources, including visitation records of bishops and other diocesan documents, Jill Fehleison contributes to our understanding of early modern Catholicism as it addressed the challenges of coexisting with Protestantism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although numerous studies have examined biblical and theological rationales for using the visual arts in worship, this book by Lisa J. DeBoer fills in a piece of the picture missing so far — the social dimensions of both our churches and the various art worlds represented in our congregations. The first part of the book looks at Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Protestantism in turn — including case studies of specific congregations — showing how each tradition’s use of the visual arts reveals an underlying ecclesiology. DeBoer then focuses on six themes that emerge when Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant uses of the visual arts are examined together — the arts as expressions of the church’s local and universal character, the meanings attributed to particular styles of art for the church, the role of the arts in enculturating the gospel, and more. DeBoer’s Visual Arts in the Worshiping Church will focus and deepen the thinking of pastors, worship leaders, artists, students, and laypeople regarding what the arts might do in the midst of their congregations.

Book excerpt: We live in a visual culture. Today, people increasingly rely upon visuals to help them understand new and difficult concepts. The rise and stunning popularity of the Internet infographic has given us a new way in which to convey data, concepts and ideas. But the visual portrayal of truth is not a novel idea. Indeed, God himself used visuals to teach truth to his people. The tabernacle of the Old Testament was a visual representation of man's distance from God and God's condescension to his people. Each part of the tabernacle was meant to display something of man's treason against God and God's kind response. Likewise, the sacraments of the New Testament are visual representations of man's sin and God's response. Even the cross was both reality and a visual demonstration. As teachers and lovers of sound theology, Challies and Byers have a deep desire to convey the concepts and principles of systematic theology in a fresh, beautiful and informative way. In this book, they have made the deepest truths of the Bible accessible in a way that can be seen and understood by a visual generation.

Download or read book Faith in America written by Charles H. Lippy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-09-30 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 25 years, there has been much talk of the presumed decline in religious participation in America. In addition, from the 1960s on, surveys that mark the influence of religion in American life have shown a mixed response. Many suggest that religion is losing influence in the culture as a whole; others indicate that while organized religion may be experiencing challenges, spirituality is on the upswing. At the same time, however, there have been signs that religious life in the U.S. is extraordinarily healthy. But religion in America has changed, to be sure, in a number of ways. And it has changed us and our culture in return. This timely set looks at the major forces that are changing the shape of religion in American life. With an influx of immigrants from Asia, Latin America, and other regions, the diversity of religion has grown to include Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and other faiths. Latin American and African American communities have experienced changes in the ways they practice their faith and in turn influence American culture in general. Women have entered the clergy in record numbers, and the push for allowing women and gays to enter the clergy in religions that limit or prohibit their roles is on the increase. In addition, gay couples are leading the same-sex marriage movement, and other social issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, end of life care, etc., are still being debated. Interest over how people actually live out their religion or spirituality has mushroomed in recent decades, thanks in part to the information revolution and popular culture. What folks do when they gather together to worship, and where they come together, has changed dramatically with the advent of the Internet and the role of sports in American life. So much has changed, and faith in America has become more important than ever—as part of our culture, our way of life, and the way we relate to each other and the world around us. The essays found in these pages shed light on our understanding of these transformations and help us comprehend the enormous role of religion in our society and in our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions around the world revere Mahatma Gandhi, yet only a few know the man Mohandas Gandhi and the internal journey of his soul. This pioneering book fills the spiritual void in Gandhian literature by focusing on the soul and the substance of the man. Uma Majmudar shows that, contrary to popular belief, Gandhi's rise to greatness was not meteoric; it was, rather, a continuous process of faith development, punctuated by conflicts, crises, and turning points. Using James W. Fowler's theory of "Stages of Faith" as a guide, Majmudar undertakes the first developmental study to analyze the fundamental role of faith in transforming Gandhi's life. She proposes that the power that nourished Gandhi's soul was his ever-growing faith in the ultimate triumph of Truth and in the innate Godliness of the human soul. Along with making an invaluable contribution to numerous cross-cultural disciplines, the book also offers something special to those wishing to embark on their own faith developmental journey, guided by Gandhi's example. "Majmudar wants us to touch and feel Gandhi. He is not on a pedestal, he is not made of granite or bronze, he is warm and vulnerable." — from the Foreword by Rajmohan Gandhi

Readers of this book will discover an exciting new vocabulary of vocation and find a fresh vision for God's calling in their lives.

The accompanying text notes the biblical sources for the various symbols and traces their use in church tradition and their links to Greco-Roman culture. Extensive glossaries and indexes round out the book. Broadly inclusive and sensitive to the perspectives of every church tradition, this volume will be an invaluable resource for churches using Christian art as well as for general readers curious about the meaning of common Christian symbols.

Book excerpt: Do you want to have confident faith in God? Are you skeptical of the belief that God is real? Or did you grow up hearing that God was real but now you find yourself doubting? This book will give you a simple and visual guide to overcoming doubts and strengthening your confidence in God so you can live boldly knowing what you believe and why you believe it. 90% of people in America believe that there is a God or at least a "higher power," yet only a little over a quarter of people say they believe God is in control of their life all the time. In other words, almost everyone knows there's something or someone out there, and some of us even call Him God, but very few people actually trust and live confidently connected to the one true loving God. That's a serious problem, and it's exactly why most of us experience a chaotic internal existence with little to no genuine peace. I grew up in church, but I never knew what I truly believed and why, so I spent roughly 15 years doubting God's existence. But when my wife and I had our first child, one thought kept me up at night: What am I going to say when this kid grows up and asks me if God is real? For the next few years, I researched everything I could about whether or not God was real. What I learned during that time forever changed my life and strengthened my faith. In this book, I'll simplify and share what I found so you can confidently know the love of your Creator. Whether you're religious, spiritual, or completely without faith in God, you'll see evidence in this book that serves as the foundation for grounded faith in the loving God - the kind of confidence that can and will change your life.

BOOK INDEX - Picasso’s Painting It is shown, with a beautiful style, which leaves its taste in the mind, that the real valuation of man is only possible with the recognition of the fact that he is a wonder of art, through faith, which means his loyalty to his creator. -The Real Truth, Which Is Brilliant and Beautiful, of the Universe It is told in a very striking example that the person who does not listen to the Divine revelation looks like a person who is just trying to illuminate the darkness in front of him just with a pocket flashlight. - The Source of An Amazing Feeling of Confidence It is discovered with a brilliant example that giving up carrying this burden of life on one's shoulders and leaving it to the power and wisdom of Allah is a great source of confidence. - The Difference of the Man The profound secret, why the human being, unlike animals, needs to learn and improve himself constantly is skilfully removed from where it is hidden and it is brought to the daylight. - Discovery of the Subtle Secret of Supplication/Prayer It is told why the prays are not accepted every time, what the purpose of the pray should be, and what the most beautiful result of the pray is for the human being. -‘On the Concept of “Self Confidence/Reliance” As we try we try to explain the relationship of man with the nature, with the Creator and with himself, we see how misleading this corrupt concept (nature) is. - Small Targets, Low Tastes We sink ourselves into the effort of understanding the relation of the man with life and its tastes. - Big Target, High Tastes We start questioning the life styles and try to look at different styles of lives that we see around ourselves from a different perspective. - Being Suspicious of Our Lifestyle We are trying to realize that the glorious human civilization is actually nothing more that the gathering together of the pieces of a Lego package and we are investigating how we should try to achieve happiness. - A Tremendous Truth Worth Being Discovered It is revealed how the true worth of man has emerged and what kind of a great source of power and wealth it could be. - For Those Who Wonder About the Secret of the Universe Very remarkable answers are given to the questions of what the true nature of man's high duties are and what the essence of the meaningful servitude, which uncovers the secret of existence of the universe, is and it is stated that human being is expected to voluntarily assume these great duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were the early Christians willing to die to protect a single iota of the creed? Why have the Judeans, Romans, and Persians—among others—seen the Christian creed as a threat to the established social order? In The Creed: Professing the Faith Through the Ages, bestselling author Dr. Scott Hahn recovers and conveys the creed’s revolutionary character. Tracing the development of the first formulations of faith in the early Church through later ecumenical councils, The Creed tells the story of how the very profession of our belief in Christ fashions us for heavenly life as we live out our earthly days.
