Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a unique exploration of the five eras or Worlds of cultural (socioeconomic, psychological, spiritual) evolution. Stephen Powell, a seasoned anthropologist and psychotherapist, illuminates the hunter/gatherer, horticultural, agrarian, and industrial/technological epochs in unexpectedly fresh and timely ways. Foremost, the diversity of these Worlds is still within us all. World One, reaching back to 50,000 BCE, was a time of widely accepted shamanic assumptions. World Two (10,000 to 3500 BCE) developed small-scale horticulture and tribal cohesion, but also unprecedented social conformity. World Three (from about 3500 BCE) experienced the global rise of caste-structured hierarchies with the World Religions as cultural compensation. Beginning in the 1600s, World Four developed a mechanistic, secularized worldview, accentuated by individualism, popular culture and a capitalist agenda. Finally, Powell describes the beginnings of a new, fifth set of world assumptions a world without borders. Here we may start to integrate humanitarian aspects of the preceding Worlds, embracing multiculturalism without losing cultural integrity. Moreover, the wisdom traditions from each time appear to hold seed truths of the profound changes that mark the end-time and the beginning of each World. Apocalyptic Grace leads the reader on a stunning survey of this remarkable journey.

Download or read book The Apocalyptic Paul written by Jamie Davies and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apocalyptic Paul is rapidly becoming one of the most influential contemporary approaches to the apostle’s letters, and one which has generated its share of controversy. Critiques of the movement have come from all sides: Pauline specialists, scholars of Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature, and systematic theologians have all raised critical questions. Meanwhile, many have found it a hard conversation to enter, not least because of the contested nature of its key terms and convictions. Non-specialists can find it difficult to sift through these arguments and to become familiar with the history of this movement, its most important contemporary voices, and its key claims. In the first part of this book, New Testament scholar Jamie Davies offers a retrospective introduction to the conversation, charting its development from the turn of the twentieth century to the present, surveying the contemporary situation. In the second part, Davies explores a more prospective account of the challenges and questions that are likely to energize discussion in the future, before offering some contributions to the apocalyptic reading of Paul through an interdisciplinary conversation between the fields of New Testament scholarship, Second Temple Jewish apocalypticism, and Christian systematic theology.

Download or read book Radical Revelation written by Balázs M. Mezei and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a practical and innovative interpretation of divine revelation, from a philosophical-theological perspective. Balázs M. Mezei outlines the most important presuppositions of our notion of divine revelation in a historic and semantic setting, as well as elaborating upon the methodology of model analysis. He then introduces and analyses the notion of self-revelation as the most important modern understanding of divine revelation; and presents the notion of “apocalyptic personhood” as a corollary of radical personhood, which is further developed into apocalyptic phenomenology. Mezei further examines the remarkable development of some of the most important notions in the history of Christianity, along with the homogenous infrastructure of these notions in the very essence of the religion: the doctrine of Trinity. Covering aspects of revelation from semantics to historical and cognitive origins, and engaging with a wide variety of texts – including Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and Joseph Ratzinger – Mezei makes a strong and clear statement when explaining what the radical revelation is, how it can be understood and its overall importance.

Download or read book Paul Theologian of God s Apocalypse written by Martinus C. de Boer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays argues that Paul's articulation of Christ and his saving work makes use of the categories and perspectives of ancient Jewish apocalyptic eschatology. Such eschatology is concerned with the expectation that God will finally and irrevocably put an end to the present order of reality ("this age") and replace it with a new, transformed order of reality ("the age to come"). In Paul's view, God has initiated this eschatological act of cosmic rectification in the person and work of Christ. The essays included, two of them previously unpublished, investigate and illuminate various aspects of Paul's christologically focused appropriation of ancient Jewish apocalyptic eschatology, particularly in his letters to the Galatians and the Romans. The collection begins with the author's seminal essay on the two tracks of Jewish apocalyptic eschatology (forensic and cosmological) from 1989 and ends with an essay from 2016 containing the author's retrospective restatement and elaboration of his views.

Download or read book Apocalyptic Good News written by R. Dean Drayton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remarkable studies in the New Testament have recovered the fact that the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, was apocalyptic good news--God's redemptive action within history. Today, for more and more people, the sheer scope of an evolutionary universe renders life on Earth as utterly insignificant, religion as nothing more than superstition. And now, in the Anthropocene, we on the pale blue dot live in an apocalyptic age in which cataclysmic issue after cataclysmic issue threaten the future of the planet. The faith of the early church was in an apocalyptic cosmic Christ unleashing within history God's good news of a new creation. Set within the world as we now know it, this gives meaning to the cosmos and life wherever it is found around any star. Screened from view for over a millennium during mission to non-apocalyptic cultures, now is the time for a new paradigm for church, the "apocalyptic church" for an apocalyptic age to replace the denominational church. What a difference this makes to faith, worship, and the role of the church in an apocalyptic future.
