Download or read book When Prayer Takes Place written by J. Gerald Janzen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where in the world was Jesus when he prayed? Where is any one of us when we pray? Since we are embodied creatures, our prayer location can be mapped onto space-time coordinates. Since we are social creatures, our prayers are also situated within our social locations. But do these sets of coordinates exhaustively identify the place that prayer takes when truly entered into? Conversely, can either set totally prevent prayer from taking place there? These questions lie at the intersection of resolutely religious vis-a-vis resolutely secular understandings of existence. The studies in this volume explore dimensions of these issues traced in selected texts from both parts of the Christian Bible.

Download or read book From a Jewish God written by John Weaverson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects upon accounts of relating with God found in the Psalms, as they provide a fascinating look at the ancient views on the God of Abraham. The early Jewish faithful struggled with their understanding of this one true God, so different from a vast array of gods, goddesses and crafted idols they witnessed around them. Formative Jewish dealings with God that conveyed both a wealth of candor and expression of emotion became bound into the resulting theology. Many generations of these traditions grew as the essential strength in the foundation for later development of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Of course, these religions have numerous differences between them, developed over centuries, yet a kinship in faith cannot be denied as the God of Abraham was at the center so long, long ago. We may say they formed from a Jewish God.
