Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almighty God, the Lover of mankind, makes use of us, as St. Augustine says (I De doctrina christiana), both for the sake of His own goodness, and for our advantage. He makes use of us for His own goodness, that man may glorify Him. “Every one who calls upon My name, I have created him for My glory” (Isa. xliii 3). He likewise makes use of us for our own advantage, in order that He may give salvation to all. “Who wishes all men to be saved” (1 Tim. ii. 4). At the birth of Our Lord, an angel proclaimed this harmony between God and man, saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to men of good will” (Luke ii. 14).

Download or read book A Brief Apology for a Catholic Moment written by Jean-Luc Marion and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely new work by one of France’s premier philosophers, A Brief Apology for a Catholic Moment offers insight into what “catholic” truly means. In this short, accessible book, Jean-Luc Marion braids the sense of catholic as all-embracing and universal into conversation about what it is to be Catholic in the present moment. A Brief Apology for a Catholic Moment tackles complex issues surrounding church-state separation and addresses a larger Catholic audience that transcends national boundaries, social identities, and linguistic differences. Marion insists that Catholic universalism, with its core of communion and community, is not an outmoded worldview, but rather an outlook that has the potential to counter the positivist rationality and nihilism at the core of our current political moment, and can help us address questions surrounding liberalism and religion and what is often presented as tension between “Islam and the West.” As an inviting and sophisticated Catholic take on current political and social realities—realities that are not confined to France alone—A Brief Apology for a Catholic Moment is a valuable contribution to a larger conversation.

Download or read book An Apology for Apologetics written by Paul J. Griffiths and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Apology for Apologetics argues that a vigorous apologetics is a vital component of any sound effort at interreligious dialogue. Griffiths shows that a spirited defense of each religious tradition must be made by people who are both committed to their ÒtruthÓ and open to serious criticisms by members of other faith traditions. He demonstrates why and how such a recognition of the necessity of interreligious apologetics (the ÒNOIA principleÓ) runs counter to the underlying presuppositions of many proponents of interreligious dialogue. Griffiths raises the specter of an unacceptable price that will be paid if the apologetic enterprise is abandoned. Religious traditions, he shows convincingly, will face relegation to the realm of purely private opinion and religious people will be denied the minimum plausibility they need to engage in public discourse. He argues ultimately that if basic doctrines cannot be defended against alien claims, religious tradition cannot survive. This book will without a doubt stimulate the debate it seeks to introduce: it unapologetically issues a challenge to teacup ecumenists and lazy pluralists. An Apology for Apologetics is for all who are seriously concerned with their own religious communities. It shows how to think about (and communicate with) those whose practices and convictions seem to differ significantly from oneÕs own.

Download or read book St Thomas Aquinas and the Mendicant Controversies written by Saint Thomas (Aquinas) and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Originally published separately as An Apology for the Religious Orders (1902) and The Religious State, the Episcopate, and the Priestly Office (1902), this book presents - for the first time in one volume and in correct historical order - the rare English translations of three key works by Aquinas, who found himself over a fifteen-year period (1256-1271) forced at the University of Paris to defend the fledgling mendicant orders, his own Dominicans and the Franciscans, against the attacks of the established secular and diocesan clergy. The significance of these debates, and Aquinas's participation in them, to the history of western Christendom cannot be overestimated. The sanctity and freedom of the individual person and the social rights and duties of religion, ideas polished by by the deft hands of Aquinas, shine in these discourses, which also figure prominently, for example, in modern papal social teaching. Complete with a new informative introduction, and comprehensive new index, this title is required reading in philosophy, political theory, theology, and medieval and church history - and thus belongs in every academic, research, and scholar's library."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhist-Christian dialogue has a long and complex history that stretches back to the first centuries of the common era. Comprising 42 international and disciplinarily diverse chapters, this volume begins by setting up a framework for examining the nature of Buddhist-Christian interreligious dialogue, discussing how research in this area has been conducted in the past and considering future theoretical directions. Subsequent chapters delve into: important episodes in the history of Buddhist-Christian dialogue; contemporary conversations such as monastic interreligious dialogue, multiple religious identity, and dual religious practice; and Buddhist-Christian cooperation in social justice, social engagement, pastoral care, and interreligious education settings. The volume closes with a section devoted to comparative and constructive explorations of different speculative themes that range from the theological to the philosophical or experiential. This handbook explores how the study of Buddhist-Christian relations has been and ought to be done. The Routledge Handbook of Buddhist-Christian Studies is essential reading for researchers and students interested in Buddhist-Christian studies, Asian religions, and interreligious relationships. It will be of interest to those in fields such as anthropology, political science, theology, and history.
