Book excerpt: Eternal Values for a Valueless Age is a survey of the Ten Commandments based on the Christian Ethics course prepared, refined, and taught by the author for more than thirty-five years in Christian high schools. The book begins with a chapter on ethical decision-making that examines various ways in which non-Christians approach matters of morality, critiquing these and comparing them with basic biblical principles. Each of the succeeding chapters focuses on one of the Ten Commandments, beginning with an explanation of the principles on which the commandment is based, then moving on to consider practical questions and controversial issues associated with it. For example, the chapter on the Sixth Commandment discusses a wide variety of life-and-death issues, including capital punishment, war, abortion, and euthanasia. Why study the Ten Commandments? Obeying God's law cannot gain His favor for anyone, but one who loves God wants to do what pleases Him. The book is intended to help readers make wise and godly decisions about a wide range of moral questions. Furthermore, readers should be equipped to defend biblical ethical standards in a world where they are largely rejected, communicating godly principles lovingly and effectively. Eternal Values for a Valueless Age is suitable as a text in Christian high schools as well as for use by home-schoolers or Sunday School teachers.

Download or read book The Age of Nihilism written by Curtis R. McManus and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Nihilism explores the ruinous philosophies currently underwriting the devastating slow-motion implosion of Western civilization. Most Western democracies structure their social and political orders around a vague, poorly defined body of ideas called “progressive” and whose stated goal is “social justice.” But using sources as powerful and diverse as Plato, Friedrich Nietzsche, Herman Melville, and Albert Camus, McManus explodes the myth of progress and unmasks the falsehood of social justice. He argues instead for cycles of history, and in doing so, McManus reveals that the citizens of twenty-first century Western democracies exist in the fast-fading twilight of an increasingly distempered civilization whose fate was always determined. We designate as “progress” the cultural and social changes of the past thirty years. But it is not progress. It is nihilism. And it is the presence of nihilism itself that informs us that we are living at the end of an age.

Download or read book Body Mind and Self in Hume s Critical Realism written by Fred Wilson and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay proposes that Hume’s non-substantialist bundle account of minds is basically correct. The concept of a person is not a metaphysical notion but a forensic one, that of a being who enters into the moral and normative relations of civil society. A person is a bundle but it is also a structured bundle. Hume’s metaphysics of relations is argued must be replaced by a more adequate one such as that of Russell, but beyond that Hume’s account is essentially correct. In particular it is argued that it is one’s character that constitutes one’s identity; and that sympathy and the passions of pride and humility are central in forming and maintaining one’s character and one’s identity as a person. But also central is one’s body: a person is an embodied consciousness: the notion that one’s body is essential to one’s identity is defended at length. Various concepts of mind and consciousness are examined - for example, neutral monism and intentionality - and also the concept of privacy and our inferences to other minds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is hard to put this profound book into a category. Despite the author's criticisms of Thoreau, it is more like Walden than any other book I have read. . . . The book makes great strides toward bringing the best insights from medieval philosophy and from contemporary environmental ethics together. Anyone interested in both of these areas must read this book."—Daniel A. Dombrowski, The Thomist "Those who share Kohák's concern to understand nature as other than a mere resource or matter in motion will find his temporally oriented interpretation of nature instructive. It is here in particular that Kohák turns moments of experience to account philosophically, turning what we habitually overlook or avoid into an opportunity and basis for self-knowledge. This is an impassioned attempt to see the vital order of nature and the moral order of our humanity as one."—Ethics

This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and ministry of Jesus serve as the focal point, not only of the Bible, but indeed of all human history. The entirety of God's revelation to man points toward, describes, and then flows from the incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Son of God. Thus a proper understanding of the life of Christ is essential in order to comprehend everything from Creation to Consummation, the meaning and direction of history, and the significance of each individual life. Pilate's question, "What shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" (Matthew 27:22) is decisive in the eternal destiny of every person who lives on this earth. As the Apostle John indicates, the Gospel narratives were written "so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you might have life in His name" (John 20:31). They were intended to elicit faith in Christ as Savior, not to serve as the object of academic study. At the same time, when Jesus said to the Pharisees, "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life" (John 5:39), He was not criticizing their extensive study of the Word, but rather the fact that they did so without faith. The Gospels must therefore be studied with a desire to know personally the Messiah of whom they speak. Knowledge without personal application is as fruitless today as it was among the religious leaders to whom Jesus spoke two thousand years ago. The fact that God has given us four Gospels is a source of great richness in our search for the Savior of whom they speak, but it has also been the basis for much criticism. It is no accident that one of the earliest apologetic works written in the Early Church was a harmony of the Gospels (Tatian's Diatessaron). Pagan philosophers and Jewish scholars alike pointed to supposed contradictions in the Gospels in an effort to discredit their reliability and authority. In modern times, critical scholars have gone even further, denying the traditional authorship of the books and suggesting that they were written by people who lived long after the time of Christ and never knew Him personally. Studying the life of Christ in the form of a harmony, weaving the Gospel narratives together into a smooth whole, can thus serve an apologetic as well as devotional purpose, enabling the believer to "be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you" (I Peter 3:15). Note, however, that the task is complicated by the fact that Jesus undoubtedly said many of the things recorded in the Gospels on multiple occasions during his ministry of approximately three and a half years. Many scholars since the time of Tatian have attempted to harmonize the Gospel narratives, and the results vary in many particulars. In this text I have relied mostly on A.T. Robertson's classic Harmony of the Gospels (1932) while supplementing it with other sources. Most efforts to create a chronology of the life and ministry of Jesus have assumed that Mark, Luke, and John are basically chronological, while Matthew tends to group material topically, leading the writers to build their harmonies around either Mark or Luke. Robertson succeeds more than most in retaining the sequence of all three narratives other than Matthew, and thus I have chosen to use his work as the foundation for this book. Another issue that arises when studying the life of Christ as recorded in the Gospels is the problem of matching it with what we know about the history of the Roman Empire at the time of Jesus. Luke gives more chronological markers than the other Gospel writers, but the range of times associated with the rulers he mentions still leaves quite a bit of room for controversy. The dating scheme I have chosen to follow has Jesus being born around 6 BC, beginning His public ministry in 29 AD, and going to the Cross during the Passover in 33 AD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'A Book Written by the Spirits of the So-Called Dead', Various authors present a collection of spiritual writings purportedly channeled from the spirits of deceased individuals. The book delves into themes of the afterlife, reincarnation, and communication with the spirit world. Written in a poetic and prophetic style, the text reflects the spiritualist movement of the late 19th century, when interest in occult practices and communication with the dead was on the rise. The authors use a combination of allegorical language and personal anecdotes to convey profound messages about life and death. This esoteric work serves as a window into the beliefs and practices of a bygone era, offering readers a glimpse into the spiritual quest for understanding beyond the physical realm. Various, the collective group of authors behind this unique work, likely drew inspiration from a fascination with the supernatural and a desire to explore the mysteries of the universe. The book may have been a collaborative effort among like-minded individuals seeking to channel spiritual wisdom and guidance from the beyond. Their shared belief in the existence of spirits and the ability to communicate with them serves as a driving force behind this enlightening text. I recommend 'A Book Written by the Spirits of the So-Called Dead' to readers interested in the spiritualist movement of the 19th century, as well as those curious about alternative perspectives on life, death, and the afterlife. This thought-provoking work offers a glimpse into a realm of existence beyond the physical world, inviting readers to contemplate the mysteries of the spiritual realm.
