Book Synopsis Christian Responses to Spiritual Incursions into the 21st Century Church and Society by : Nikolaos Asproulis
Download or read book Christian Responses to Spiritual Incursions into the 21st Century Church and Society written by Nikolaos Asproulis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an account of the surprising ‘in-breaking’ of spiritual life that persists in our culture, despite the best efforts of atheist spokespersons and secular theorists. Spirituality in its varying forms is irrepressible, resisting our attempts to exclude it by continuing to seep through the cracks and leak through the gaps. When it is allowed to manifest itself through the Christian faith-tradition, it has the power to surprise, transform and renew everything it touches. This volume contains a series of case studies, each of which describes the inner-functionings and out-workings of the spiritual life as a transformative point of contact between God, world, society and self. Each chapter contains high-level inquiry, drawing on best-practice scholarship that is deeply aware of the needs and opportunities that confront 21st-century society.

Book Synopsis Philosophy of Mysticism by : Richard H. Jones
Download or read book Philosophy of Mysticism written by Richard H. Jones and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive exploration of the philosophical issues raised by mysticism. This work is a comprehensive study of the philosophical issues raised by mysticism. Mystics claim to experience reality in a way not available in normal life, a claim which makes this phenomenon interesting from a philosophical perspective. Richard H. Joness inquiry focuses on the skeleton of beliefs and values of mysticism: knowledge claims made about the nature of reality and of human beings; value claims about what is significant and what is ethical; and mystical goals and ways of life. Jones engages language, epistemology, metaphysics, science, and the philosophy of mind. Methodological issues in the study of mysticism are also addressed. Examples of mystical experience are drawn chiefly from Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, but also from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Daoism. This is a significant extension of the seminal work by Walter Stace, Mysticism and Philosophy. That work has stimulated much literature, all of which Jones manages to review here. He critically extends Staces universal core and embeds it in a sophisticated discussion of the extent, range, and metaphysical implications of mysticism. Ralph W. Hood, Jr., coauthor of The Psychology of Religion: An Empirical Approach
Download or read book Mystic and Rider written by Sharon Shinn and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gillengaria seethes with unrest. In the south, hostility toward magic and its users has risen to a dangerous level, though King Baryn has ordered that such mystics are to be tolerated. It is whispered that he issued the decree because his new wife used her magic powers to ensnare him… The King knows there are those in the noble Twelve Houses who could use this growing dissent to overthrow him. So he dispatches the mystic Senneth to assess the threat throughout the realm. Accompanying her is a motley band of magic-users and warriors including Tayse, first among the King’s Riders—who holds a hard view of mystics in general, and Senneth in particular. But as the unlikely allies venture farther into the south, they will face death in a land under the sway of a fanatical cult that would purge Gillengaria of all magic users. And they will come to realize that their only hope of survival lies in standing together…

Download or read book now and then 2 written by Bob Maddison and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost civilizations? Origins of mankind? Why does mankind seem to need religion? Why is there so much confusion and mental indigestion manifest among not only rank and file mankind, but also actively demonstrated by the "academics"? After all, does it really matter who built the pyramids of Egypt? Or when they were built? Does it matter that there are so many confusing and conflicting claims by the proponents of the many religions? So who, or what, is "god"? Is it Jehovah, Allah, Krishna, or Enlil? Or perchance it is a fiction. And what does it matter or avail if we understand the true origins of man or not? If we cannot correctly understand who and what mankind is, how can we ever know and understand what angels, demons, gods, God, or aliens are? Is it that we are the aliens and this was not our earth?
Download or read book Thinking God written by Owen F. Cummings and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade or so has seen many books from what might be called "the new atheists." One thinks, for example, of Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens. They have captured the interest of the general reading public and have sold well. Often, however, they have loaded the dice against Christian belief in a most unfair fashion. Arguments and issues have been summarily dismissed after the most cursory of treatments. Thinking God, written by a philosopher and a theologian, father and son, invites the reader to a more reflective consideration of the issues around God and the traditional fabric of Christian belief in a fair and openhanded fashion. Issues, both traditional and more contemporary, have been engaged. The result is an invitation to think of Christian faith seriously, reflectively, and critically.

Download or read book Mystics written by William Harmless and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2008 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mystics are path-breaking religious practitioners who claim to have experience the infinite, word-defying Mystery that is God. Many have been gifted writers with an uncanny ability to communicate the great realities of life with both a theologian's precision and a poet's lyricism. They use words to jolt us into recognizing ineffable mysteries surging beneath the surface of our lives and within the depths of our hearts and, by their artistry, can awaken us to see and savor fugitive glimpses of a God-drenched world.In Mystics, William Harmless, S.J., introduces readers to the scholarly study of mysticism. He explores both mystics' extraordinary lives and their no-less-extraordinary writings using a unique case-study method centered on detailed examinations of six major Christian mystics: Thomas Merton, Bernard of Clairvaux, Hildegard of Bingen, Bonaventure, Meister Eckhart, and Evagrius Ponticus. Rather than presenting mysticism as a subtle web of psychological or theological abstractions, Harmless's case-study approach brings things down to earth, restoring mystics to their historical context.Harmless highlights the pungent diversity of mystical experiences and mystical theologies. Stepping beyond Christianity, he also explores mystical elements within Islam and Buddhism, offering a chapter on the popular Sufi poet Rumi and one on the famous Japanese Zen master Dogen. Harmless concludes with an overview of the century-long scholarly conversation on mysticism and offers a unique, multifaceted optic for understanding mystics, their communities, and their writings. Geared toward a wide audience, Mystics balances state-of-the-art scholarship with accessible, lucid prose.
