Download or read book Seeking the God Beyond written by J. P. Williams and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apophatic theology, or negative theology, attempts to describe God, the Divine Good, by negation, to speak only in terms of what may not be said about the perfect goodness that is God. It is a way of coming to an understanding of who God is, which has played a significant role across centuries of Christian tradition but is very often treated with suspicion by those engaging in theological study today. This book seeks to introduce students to this oft-misunderstood form of spirituality. Beginning by placing apophatic spirituality within its biblical roots, the book later considers the key pioneers of apophatic faith and a diverse range of thinkers, including C. S. Lewis and Keats, to inform us in our negative theological journey. A final section explores what difference a negative theological approach might make to our practice and our liturgy.

Download or read book A Beginner s Guide to Spirituality written by Abhishek Chaturbedi and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light and darkness. Up and down. In and out. Body and soul. One and all. But what if light is darkness, up is down, in is out, body is soul, and one is all? A Beginner’s Guide to Spirituality opens unique and deep scenarios on humanity’s timeless questions. Who are we? What is “we”? Is there a significance to existence? Scientists, philosophers, and even believers tried to find an answer to these inquiries, but, in their search for the truth, often sectioned and tore apart the concept of reality, missing what only a broader view, a gaze upon the unity of reality itself, could give them. Commonality between religion, science and spirituality. In general, they are considered separate entities, but is our lack of clarity on these subjects that makes them look different. This remarkable dissertation on the nature of all things contemplates on subjects as the essence of God, and the inexact, if not superstitious, notions that have always accompanied the human perception of this superior, holy entity. God didn’t just create everything that exists. God is everything that exists. So why are things such as evil, illnesses, and pain allowed to take place? To show the way towards a response, the author takes his readers’ hands to gently guide them along the path of self-consciousness, expressing the invite to explore both the inner and outer manifestations of life and to experience the daily passing of time as more than a simple materialistic, raw, and unaware survival. Abhishek Chaturbedi’s literary work is at the same time a philosophical essay and a guide that avoids hyperbolic intellectual discussions, theological doctrines and complex scientific theories, so that the readers can easily grasp the book’s message. A Beginner’s Guide to Spirituality will help all those souls that, still lost, are searching for the path towards inner peace.
