Download or read book After Crucifixion written by Craig Keen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an extraordinary text. It addresses no small number of traditional theological concerns. However, it addresses them mindful of the earthiness of life. Thus this is also a book that is concerned to address questions of migration, brain physiology, emotional trauma, time, love, and death. It is written not to satisfy a bloodless lust for the resolution of puzzles. It is written with confidence that tangible bodies think. Thus there is an earthy quality to its writing, both in what it addresses and how it is addressed. The manner of After Crucifixion may be imagined as a moment in which in some unpretentious underground venue the deep, resonant percussions of subwoofers roll as a carnal wave across the chest and throat before they become the bass line in a conscious musical thought. After Crucifixion has been written for the ears, the chest, the throat, no less than for focused, deliberate, disciplined thought. But it is written in particular for bodies befriended by the Mystery of life and death--in the carnal event of the crucifixion/resurrection of the Galilean peasant Jesus, who unhands the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and thus invites us to join him in prayer.

Download or read book The Transgression of the Integrity of God written by Craig Keen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this dark, when we all talk at once, some of us must learn to whistle." In this comprehensive collection of his work, Craig Keen's voice emerges as that of a theologian who has indeed learned to whistle. In a day when much of what passes for academic "theology" is careful to maintain a safe distance from any determinate act of faith or work of praise, Keen evinces a single-minded determination to think and to speak, to write and to live doxologically. And whether writing or lecturing, teaching or conversing, Keen understands theology to be nothing less than an invitation to work out one's faith with fear and trembling. Throughout this volume Keen argues that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus disrupt all metaphysical attempts to determine the reality of "God," and suggests instead that theology is to be done liturgically and eucharistically--as the work of a people whose labor is carried out with open hands, free from all attempts to grasp and control. Keen discusses doctrinal issues--the Trinity, incarnation, creation--as well as a number of critical theological concerns--church and culture, justice, holiness, Christian education--in this light. The result is a profound set of reflections on the ways in which the word of the cross simultaneously transgresses our constructions of "God" and gives us to live transgressively in love.

Download or read book Crucifixion Resurrection written by Edwyn C. Hoskyns and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-05 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Crucifixion-Resurrection' is the posthumous work of one of the great theological partnerships - Sir Edwyn Hoskyns, the pioneer of biblical theology in England, and Noel Davey, his student, in whom he found the ideal literary collaborator. It was conceived as the theological sequel to their first joint work, 'The Riddle of the New Testament', whose influence on generations of students has been incalculable. 'Crucifixion-Resurrection' is concerned with the theology and ethics of the New Testament. It offers a detailed exposition of the various New Testament interpretations of Christ's death, penetrating to the heart of the message Christianity has to offer the world, and plumbing spiritual depths which the Church rarely sounds today. Present New Testament scholarship may have a more extensive technical equipment, but does not necessarily come to better theological conclusions; indeed the authentic Christian humanism of Hoskyns and Davey may speak to our time even more forcibly than to their own.'Crucifixion-Resurrection' has been edited by Gordon S. Wakefield, who completed the manuscript with the help of lectures left by Noel Davey. Wakefield has also provided a substantial biographical account of the two authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the powerful reality of Christ’s resurrection in your life. Moment by moment, day by day. Two thousand years ago, God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. But that isn’t a mere historical event. It isn’t simply a theological doctrine.

And so it is an event–an experience–that’s worthy of your daily celebration.

Download or read book Death and Resurrection written by Elijah Lovejoy and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death & Resurrection: Exploring the Mysteries of Suffering & Hope is about the death and resurrection of Jesus lived out rhythmically in the lives of his followers. Sometimes Jesus' followers are in the rhythm of death. Sometimes they are in the rhythm of resurrection. A painful divorce, lost friendship, unrealized dream, failed business and besetting sin are not badges of shame or reminders of weakness. They are all opportunities to participate in the power of Jesus' death and resurrection at work in our bodies (2 Corinthians 4:10). The problem many Christians face is viewing Jesus' death and resurrection as one time, book end events at the beginning and end of the Christian life. Jesus' death begins the Christian life through the forgiveness of sins. Jesus' resurrection ends the Christian life resulting in resurrection from the dead for all people. It is true, death and resurrection are one time events for Jesus. They are not one time events for Christians. Death and resurrection form the rhythm of the Christian life, just as breathing and a beating heart form the rhythm of bodily life. When Christians embrace the rhythm of dying and rising with Jesus, they will find far greater power, comfort, peace and life in all circumstances.

Download or read book The Gospel of Resurrection According to Arpha The Healer by Light written by Doreid Audi and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-12 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of a path of light, reaffirmed by visions and manifestations, and culminating in receiving and unveiling the unknown Words of Jesus Christ after His crucifixion and resurrection, His secret teachings that advocate resurrection in life, that is, to be born again of the Holy Spirit; the second birth while you are still flesh. The Gospel of Resurrection is the Science of the Divine, the Theology of the Heavenly Realities: the Son of Man spoke only of the earthly things 2000 years ago: "If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?" Yet in the Gospel of Resurrection, the Lord speaks of the heavenly things. His fifth gospel, while it once more opens the gates of the Kingdom of God before humanity, is the Glad Tidings of life resurrection for the coming millennia. The Gospel of Resurrection is the gospel of awakening, of resurrecting Christ within, who is still crucified, in men; it is not addressed to the Christians alone, but to all men and women of all faiths; to everybody, believers, non-believers, skeptics, and agnostics, for Christ is in everyone. And reviving the Inner Christ, that is, the divine in man, is resurrection in life, is rebirth from the Spirit, not only of men, but of the whole earth, turning it into Christ's Universal Church: the New Earth shall be the Temple of the Holy Spirit. The second coming of Christ is His awakening in men's consciousness: it is His collective, universal Resurrection, and with it shall be the collective resurrection of Humanity, and the transfiguration of Earth, begetting Sons of God.

Download or read book Trauma Sensitive Theology written by Jennifer Baldwin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of Trauma Sensitive Theology is to help theologians, professors, clergy, spiritual care givers, and therapists speak well of God and faith without further wounding survivors of trauma. It explores the nature of traumatic exposure, response, processing, and recovery and its impact on constructive theology and pastoral leadership and care. Through the lenses of contemporary traumatology, somatics, and the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy, the text offers a framework for seeing trauma and its impact in the lives of individuals, communities, society, and within our own sacred texts. It argues that care of traumatic wounding must include all dimensions of the human person, including our spiritual practices, religious rituals and community participation, and theological thinking. As such, clergy and spiritual care professionals have an important role to play in the recovery of traumatic wounding and fostering of resiliency. This book explores how trauma-informed congregational leaders can facilitate resiliency and offers one way of thinking theologically in response to traumatizing abuses of relational power and our resources for restoration.

Download or read book The Spacious Path written by Tamara Hill Murphy and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple invitation into a life ordered around listening and love As we live through cycles of change and disruption, our familiar pathways crumble and we find ourselves in fragmented relationships with God, others, and our own souls. We are not the first to experience this disorientation: When Jesus offered the stunning invitation to come to him to learn how to work from a place of rest, he was talking to people weighed down by ill-fitting political, economic, and religious systems. And his life and ministry offer a glimpse of a better way. For centuries a practice called the Rule of Life—built around rhythms of prayer, work, study, hospitality, and rest—has provided a loving pathway for anyone who desires to live out the whole gospel. More than a historic primer on an ancient practice, an aspirational overview of spiritual life, or a personal inventory focused on habits, The Spacious Path offers companionship through personal narrative, meaningful reflection, and guided prayer for readers to return to as often as needed. ​ Rediscover an ancient Christian practice to reorient your life around the unforced rhythms of Jesus, not by adding another ill-fitting system but by walking freely and lightly on the pathways of listening and love in the way of Jesus.

Download or read book The Cry of the Teacher s Soul written by Laurie R. Matthias and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching is hard. External pressures are steadily increasing, leading to high rates of attrition and burnout. Unlike other resources that attempt to address those external factors, The Cry of the Teacher's Soul offers hope by focusing on the key factor of good education: the teacher. It does so by examining the teacher's inner life--mental, emotional, and spiritual. For the Christian teacher, paradoxes in teaching such as idealism/reality and performance/authenticity often parallel similar paradoxes in the Christian faith. By embracing these paradoxes that probe the depths of issues around identity and purpose, the teacher can sustain the difficult vocation of teaching, even thriving instead of just surviving. Each chapter focuses on a cry of the teacher's soul, features a teacher's story that illustrates that cry, and then explores the paradoxes embedded in teaching and in Christianity.
