Download or read book Catholic Church Milestones written by William Frank Smith and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholic Church Milestones is a concise, easy to read introduction to the people and events that have shaped the Institutional Catholic Church from its beginning to the present day. Counting over one billion members worldwide, the Catholic Church is the world's largest Christian denomination and over the course of the last two thousand years has played a significant role on the world stage. Milestones presents the reader with both the good and not-so-good people and events in the church's history. Included are brief summaries of all twenty-one ecumenical councils; the highlights of several of the most notable papacies; introductions to several of the spiritual mystics who have enriched the church; and, descriptions of some of the world events that played a role in moving the church to where it is today. This is an ideal book for shared group discussion, as well as for personal reading and reference. Milestones starts with a basic understanding that Jesus did not found a "church," rather his apostles and followers began small communities of believers after Jesus' Resurrection. In each of eight discrete time periods, the principle people and events are listed and discussed. Starting with the early local communities founded by the apostles, the first time period encompasses the early persecutions faced by the followers of Jesus and the transition of this new Way from a sect of the Jewish faith into a completely separate, mostly gentile religion. By the fourth century we see the dramatic change as this new belief system becomes the official religion of the Roman Empire, followed by the even more dramatic changes as the Roman Empire splits and then falters, leaving the Pope in Rome as a major player in the political life of the western part of the former Empire throughout the middle ages. At the beginning of the eleventh century the first major split occurs in the Catholic Church, as most of the Eastern Churches reject the leadership of the Pope and form a new "Orthodox" union that exists to this day; followed some five hundred years later by a major split in the West, as Martin Luther and other reformers call for changes in the church, which Rome soundly rejected. Instead the Catholic Church turned inward and put up further walls of separation in its counter-reformation―attitudes it would staunchly hold for the next four hundred years, even as the world changed with: the industrial revolution; scientific breakthroughs; communism; and, then two world wars during the first half of the twentieth century. Finally we look at the changing face of the church following the Second Vatican Council.

Download or read book The Battle for God written by Karen Armstrong and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-08-10 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late twentieth century, fundamentalism has emerged as one of the most powerful forces at work in the world, contesting the dominance of modern secular values and threatening peace and harmony around the globe. Yet it remains incomprehensible to a large number of people. In The Battle for God, Karen Armstrong brilliantly and sympathetically shows us how and why fundamentalist groups came into existence and what they yearn to accomplish. We see the West in the sixteenth century beginning to create an entirely new kind of civilization, which brought in its wake change in every aspect of life -- often painful and violent, even if liberating. Armstrong argues that one of the things that changed most was religion. People could no longer think about or experience the divine in the same way; they had to develop new forms of faith to fit their new circumstances. Armstrong characterizes fundamentalism as one of these new ways of being religious that have emerged in every major faith tradition. Focusing on Protestant fundamentalism in the United States, Jewish fundamentalism in Israel, and Muslim fundamentalism in Egypt and Iran, she examines the ways in which these movements, while not monolithic, have each sprung from a dread of modernity -- often in response to assault (sometimes unwitting, sometimes intentional) by the mainstream society. Armstrong sees fundamentalist groups as complex, innovative, and modern -- rather than as throwbacks to the past -- but contends that they have failed in religious terms. Maintaining that fundamentalism often exists in symbiotic relationship with an aggressive modernity, each impelling the other on to greater excess, she suggests compassion as a way to defuse what is now an intensifying conflict. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Karen Armstrong's Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life.
Download or read book Emperors and Ancestors written by Olivier Hekster and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancestry played a continuous role in the construction and portrayal of Roman emperorship in the first three centuries AD. Emperors and Ancestors is the first systematic analysis of the different ways in which imperial lineage was represented in the various 'media' through which images of emperors could be transmitted. Looking beyond individual rulers, Hekster evaluates evidence over an extended period of time and differentiates between various types of sources, such as inscriptions, sculpture, architecture, literary text, and particularly central coinage, which forms the most convenient source material for a modern reconstruction of Roman representations over a prolonged period of time. The volume explores how the different media in use sent out different messages. The importance of local notions and traditions in the choice of local representations of imperial ancestry are emphasized, revealing that there was no monopoly on image-forming by the Roman centre and far less interaction between central and local imagery than is commonly held. Imperial ancestry is defined through various parallel developments at Rome and in the provinces. Some messages resonated outside the centre but only when they were made explicit and fitted local practice and the discourse of the medium. The construction of imperial ancestry was constrained by the local expectations of how a ruler should present himself, and standardization over time of the images and languages that could be employed in the 'media' at imperial disposal. Roman emperorship is therefore shown to be a constant process of construction within genres of communication, representation, and public symbolism.

Download or read book You Walk He Leads written by Soon-Hock Lim and published by Soon-Hock Lim. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Walk, He Leads is not the usual 7-steps to discover God’s will; it’s about walking in relationship with the Lord to know Him who wants you to know and do His will. The book argues that the first step to do God’s will is not about trying to discover God’s hidden will, it’s about discerning God’s revealed will. Can you imagine God saying, “I want you to do My will. Now go figure!”? Part 1 of You Walk, He Leads deals with three fundamental issues about discerning and doing God’s will, such as, Is God’s will a dot or a circle? Part 2 discusses the key elements that a person needs to discern and walk in God’s will. One of which is about having the right values. Personal values have the power to influence a person’s decision. Godly values lead to right decisions, ungodly values lead to wrong decisions. Part 3 provides the reader with three excellent tools to help him or her to walk in the Lord’s direction for his or her life: Marking Your Milestones, Drawing Your Timeline and Framing Your Purpose. You Walk, He Leads is written by a Malaysian Christian in the Malaysian context, but the principles are universal. The book is written in an easy-to-read style and well-illustrated with biblical and personal examples.
Download or read book Son of God written by Garrick V. Allen and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In antiquity, “son of god”—meaning a ruler designated by the gods to carry out their will—was a title used by the Roman emperor Augustus and his successors as a way to reinforce their divinely appointed status. But this title was also used by early Christians to speak about Jesus, borrowing the idiom from Israelite and early Jewish discourses on monarchy. This interdisciplinary volume explores what it means to be God’s son(s) in ancient Jewish and early Christian literature. Through close readings of relevant texts from multiple ancient corpora, including the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Greco-Roman texts and inscriptions, early Christian and Islamic texts, and apocalyptic literature, the chapters in this volume engage a range of issues including messianism, deification, eschatological figures, Jesus, interreligious polemics, and the Roman and Jewish backgrounds of early Christianity and the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The essays in this collection demonstrate that divine sonship is an ideal prism through which to better understand the deep interrelationship of ancient religions and their politics of kingship and divinity. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Richard Bauckham, Max Botner, George J. Brooke, Jan Joosten, Menahem Kister, Reinhard Kratz, Mateusz Kusio, Michael A. Lyons, Matthew V. Novenson, Michael Peppard, Sarah Whittle, and N. T. Wright.
Download or read book Anunnaki written by Nina Vale and published by Vellaz Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anunnaki Gods of the Earth and Heavens Hidden within the oldest accounts of humanity, the enigma of the Anunnaki reverberates through time, offering glimpses of a disquieting past: ancient beings who descended from the heavens and altered the course of life on Earth. In the plains of Sumer, where humanity took its first steps toward civilization and writing, it is said that the Anunnaki—immortal gods—found a primitive species and, through sophisticated genetic mutations, infused their own DNA, creating humankind. This book unveils a long-forgotten ancestral knowledge—a mystical fusion between the divine and the earthly that shaped human nature. As you delve into the power and mysteries of the Anunnaki, the stories of Enlil, the guardian of the heavens, and Enki, the master of creation and wisdom, emerge as hidden codes that may hold answers to our greatest existential questions. What do these ties to beings from other realms mean? And what destiny was reserved for us by those who shaped our DNA? In a narrative that intertwines archaeology and myth, readers are invited to uncover a truth that challenges modern understanding, drawing closer to the origins of our essence—a journey that promises to transform not only the past but the very idea of what it means to be human.

Download or read book Theology and World Politics written by Vassilios Paipais and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated within the wider post-secular turn in politics and international relations, this volume focuses not on religion per se, but rather explicitly on theology. Contributions to this collection highlight the political theological foundations of international theory and world politics, recasting theology and politics as symbiotic discourses with all the risks, promises and open questions this relation may involve. The overarching claim the book makes is that all politics has theology embedded in it, both in the genealogical sense of carrying ineradicable traces of rival theological traditions, and also in the more ontological sense of being enacted by alternative configurations of the theologico-political. The book is unique in bringing together a diverse group of scholars, spanning knowledge areas as varied as IR, political theory, philosophy, theology, and history to investigate the complex interconnections between theology and world politics. It will be of interest to students and scholars of political theory, international relations, intellectual history, and political theology.
