Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mystery and the World, Maria Clara Bingemer explores how the place of religion in society has dramatically shifted since the Enlightenment. The modern era is characterised by a major change in humanity's fundamental desires that means that reason has taken the place of faith. Human beings, in their ongoing search for a scientific understanding of the world, have drifted away from seeking any essence of transcendence in their lives. Bingemer examines this transition and how, especially inthe postmodern era, it has led to technology and superficial happiness becoming all-important as opposed to the more sacred sense of contentment that governed us for centuries prior to the Enlightenment. In her discussion, however, Bingemer demonstrates that we as humans have not lost our innate desire to believe in a higher power and that, even in our world of instant satisfaction, we still need to fill the void left by religion. Through well-researched analysis of the modern era and discussion of some of the mystics of more recent times, she reveals to readers how our religious belief, whilst changed, is not dead and is still an important aspect of our existence.

Download or read book El nico Dios Verdadero written by Nestor C. Harry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-08-04 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Only True God" is the originator of all the languages of the nations of this planet Earth (Genesis 11:1-9). Does He knows the details of Grammar of those languages? How can we define in synthesis whatGrammar is? Does our wise and sovereign God presaw the need of talking to us in our own language? Does He also presaw that His dealing with the human race should be written in a book? Because these are facts that cannot be denied, it is evident He decreed that every word, phrase, sentence, concepts and complete paragraphs written in The Bible should be grammatically correct. The concept of the Three Persons of deity is evidenced with printine clarity, whenever this Book of God is grammatically interpreted. Inthe last night before His crucifixion, in His prayer to the Father, Jesus said: "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. An now, Oh Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." "Me" and "I" explicitly defines two persons!

Download or read book In the Eyes of God written by Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo and published by . This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every culture needs to appropriate the universal truth of human suffering," says Fernando Escalante, ". . . to give its own meaning to this suffering, so that human existence is bearable." Originally published in Spanish as La mirada de Dios: Estudios sobre la cultura del sufrimiento, this book is a remarkable study of the evolution of the culture of suffering and the different elements that constitute it, beginning with a reading of Rousseau and ending with the appearance of the Shoah in the Western consciousness - "The memory endures, and this constitutes a fundamental transition for the Western conscience: we have witnessed." Drawing on writings from the Greeks to Cervantes, Voltaire to Nietzsche, and Freud to William James, Escalante combines his considerable knowledge of politics and political theory with a vast array of literary examples to arrive at an intellectual understanding of the history and meaning of suffering. His investigation encompasses the rise of popular politics, the role of messianism in modern nationalism, and the contemporary implications of the Shoah. This book will appeal to a wide audience: students of political theory, humanism, and philosophy, as well as the general reader interested in a glimpse into the mind of a highly original Latin American thinker.

Download or read book El elemento religioso en J J Rousseau written by Ferrando López, Andrés and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Rousseau se ha hecho, e incluso se hace, una lectura preeminentemente política, priorizando El Contrato social sobre el resto de su obra. Esta visión, auspiciada por los partidarios de la Contrarrevolución, posteriormente se ha hecho canónica al asentarse los principios proclamados por los revolucionarios franceses. Con la perspectiva de esta visión sesgada, los escritos referentes a la religión se ven como añadidos discordantes, explicándose por causas subjetivas los que se presentan como disarmonías. Frente a esta interpretación, la que el autor propone atiende a aspectos culturales, antes que a aspectos subjetivos. Rousseau es fruto de un momento de transición. Frente al XVIII como el siglo de la razón, el pueblo es eminentemente religioso. La opción de Rousseau por el sentimiento religioso es una opción epistemológica pero a su vez es una opción social, una opción por el pueblo llano, frente a la razón auspiciada por la élite. Rousseau propone una revolución moral presidida por esquemas religiosos, aunque esta religión tiene que adaptarse a los nuevos tiempos: la metafísica debe ceder ante lo terrenal, o la moral primar frente a lo teológico. La religión civil, como religión patriótica, es expresión de su deísmo en el ámbito político.

Download or read book Doctrina Metodista written by Dr. Ted A. Campbell and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Wesley distinguished between essential doctrines on which agreement or consensus is critical and opinions about theology or church practices on which disagreement must be allowed. Though today few people join churches based on doctrinal commitments, once a person has joined a church it becomes important to know the historic teachings of that church's tradition. In Methodist Doctrine: The Essentials, Ted Campbell outlines historical doctrinal consensus in American Episcopal Methodist Churches in a comparative and ecumenical dialogue with the doctrinal inheritance of other major families of Christian tradition. In this way, the book shows both what Methodist churches historically teach in common with ecumenical Christianity and what is distinctive about the Methodist tradition in its various contemporary forms. Documents examined include The Twenty-Five Articles of Religion, The General Rules, Wesley's Standard Sermons and Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, The Methodist Social Creed, and the Apostles' Creed.

Download or read book La Parabola de la Higuera written by Gamaliel CalderóN Mata and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "De la higuera aprended la parábola; cuando ya sus ramas se enternecen sabed que el verano está cerca" (Mt. 24:32-33). Cuando escuchamos o leemos estas palabras de Jesucristo nuestra mente evoca las imágenes del establecimiento del estado judío en 1948 y la reconquista de Jerusalén en 1967. Sin embargo, la parábola de la higuera que tanto ha inquietado a los exegetas de todos los tiempos, quería decirnos mucho más que aquellos dos importantes acontecimientos en la historia moderna de Israel. Jesucristo se estaba refiriendo a una generación específica de israelitas que se levantaría en el estado judío ya restaurado entre las naciones en el fin de esta era, y cuyo escenario seria la ciudad santa ya reconquistada. Esa generación específica de israelitas es de la que se dijo "no pasaría" y de la cual ya nos habían hablado los antiguos profetas de la biblia. ¿Cuándo comenzara la gran tribulación? ¿Quién es la mujer vestida del sol de Apocalipsis 12? Entérese de esta novedosa e interesante tesis escatológica que arroja más luz sobre el cuadro profético.

Download or read book The Sons of Night written by Antoine Gimenez and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sons of Night is two, or more, books in one. The first is Antoine Gimenez's memoir of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, an engaging tale of heroism and intrigue. The remaining three-quarters of the manuscript is a record of the fascination his memoir held for a group of historians—the "Gimenologists"—and the multiple paths of research and inquiry it led them down. Book Two begins with eighty-two "endnotes" to the memoir, each the equivalent of a chapter that follows a particular historical thread or explores a question raised by Gimenez's text. This is followed by the biographies of various people appearing in the memoir, many based on the friendships the historians formed with the now-elderly revolutionaries. The book closes with an Afterword discussing theoretical issues raised by the memoir and seven appendices. Also includes an Introduction by Spanish historian Julián Vadillo Muñoz.

Download or read book Milicianas written by Lisa Margaret Lines and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Women played an integral role in the Spanish Civil War. In fact, women's participation in the anti-fascist resistance constituted one of the greatest mass political mobilizations of women in Spain's history. Milicianas provides a comprehensive picture of what life was like for the women who fought alongside their male comrades during the first year of the Spanish Civil War, focusing on how the women themselves viewed this experience. It examines the political and social forces that led to the acceptance of women into the ranks of armed combatants, and those that led to their eventual removal from the front"--Page 4 of cover.
