Download or read book God s Gift of the Universe written by Paul O'Callaghan and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many ways of understanding the reality of the world we live in and experience. Science, philosophy, art all offer us ample descriptions, explanations and intuitions. But Christian believers go beyond all that, for they attempt to understand the origins of the universe in terms of the creation of the world by God. Revelation tells us what God had in mind when he made the world ex nihilo, without presuppositions of any kind. God’s Gift of the Universe attempts to present the principal elements and stages of creation theology. The doctrine is to be found fundamentally, of course, in Scripture, both Old and New Testament, which describes the world in the light of God’s word. Yet since God actually gave existence to the world, down to the last detail, our reflection on God’s word not only explains the reality of creation, how it works, its nature, as science does. It also explains how creation came into being in the mind and heart of the Triune God, and, ultimately, why God created the world. In God’s Gift of the Universe, a considerable effort has been spent throughout the book on the Christological and Trinitarian aspects of creation, particularly in the theology of Church Fathers. Creation is presented besides in a deeply eschatological key, for God created the world for purpose of making his glory eternally manifest. The book also considers the way God ‘intervenes’ in the life of the created world, through conservation in being and providence. The meaning of time, matter and spirit are considered. The need for ecological awareness is central. One aspect of the mystery of creation that receives special attention is the presence of evil in the world. This is of particular importance once we accept that God made the world, whole and entire, thus assuming responsibility for the world as it is. The origin of evil through the sin of spiritual creatures provides the ultimate though not the only explanation of the mystery of evil. Particular consideration is given to the reality of ‘original sin’.

Download or read book Heaven and Earth in Anglo Saxon England written by Helen Foxhall Forbes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian theology and religious belief were crucially important to Anglo-Saxon society, and are manifest in the surviving textual, visual and material evidence. This is the first full-length study investigating how Christian theology and religious beliefs permeated society and underpinned social values in early medieval England. The influence of the early medieval Church as an institution is widely acknowledged, but Christian theology itself is generally considered to have been accessible only to a small educated elite. This book shows that theology had a much greater and more significant impact than has been recognised. An examination of theology in its social context, and how it was bound up with local authorities and powers, reveals a much more subtle interpretation of secular processes, and shows how theological debate affected the ways that religious and lay individuals lived and died. This was not a one-way flow, however: this book also examines how social and cultural practices and interests affected the development of theology in Anglo-Saxon England, and how ’popular’ belief interacted with literary and academic traditions. Through case-studies, this book explores how theological debate and discussion affected the personal perspectives of Christian Anglo-Saxons, including where possible those who could not read. In all of these, it is clear that theology was not detached from society or from the experiences of lay people, but formed an essential constituent part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marcello Mastroianni, in una intervista televisiva ad Enzo Biagi, avvenuta un paio d'anni prima della morte, alla domanda "Quale film vorrebbe interpretare" rispose che avrebbe voluto interpretare Tarzan. Un vecchio Tarzan nel mondo di oggi. E questo, per puro caso, è proprio il "leitmotiv" del romanzo "Il punto più vicino al cielo". Un giornalista ormai cinico, ridottosi a "ghost", compilatore di false autobiografie di personaggi celebri, viene assoldato da un nobile inglese. Nella tenuta di Greystoke, nell'attesa dell'apertura del testamento di Lady Gwendoline, fa la sua improvvisa apparizione il vecchio John Clayton (Tarzan), strappato alle sue foreste da una guerra civile e riportato in patria, non riuscirà a reinserirsi nella vita di tutti i giorni divenendo facile preda di sciacalli di ogni tipo tra vicende grottesche, situazioni ironiche e momenti commoventi. Il vecchio Clayton riuscirà a riscattarsi, tra lo stupore dei concittadini, con una malinconica fine degna della sua antica fama.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural biodiversity is a precious legacy which we have a moral duty to pass on intact to future generations. As farming systems modernise, these crucial resources risk being lost, unless effective conservation measures are put in place and sufficient recognition is given to the role of the farmer in food security and agricultural development. This publication contains a number of black and white photographs by Pablo Balbontân Arenas, which give an insight into the life and customs of small farmers who foster, maintain and use genetic diversity in traditional agricultural systems, deploying local techniques and knowledge accumulated over many centuries, focusing on four crops: wheat, rice, maize and potato. The accompanying text is written in English, Spanish and Italian.

Book excerpt: Il delitto aveva occupato un trafiletto nei giornali cittadini, e nessuno si era presentato a chiedere ragguagli sul progredire delle indagini. “Giovane ucciso durante una rapina” era una di quelle notizie così frequenti, che la gente quasi non ci faceva caso. I giornalisti vi dedicavano le solite cinque righe come studenti svogliati che presentano sempre lo stesso compito a un professore che non ha l’abitudine di correggerli. Adesso però era saltato fuori un diamante, un diamante da un milione di dollari, e i professionisti dell’informazione erano accorsi in massa. Con un milione di dollari addosso anche la morte sembra un’altra. La tranquillità di una cittadina del Middle-West americano è turbata dal ritrovamento di alcuni eccezionali diamanti e da un misterioso delitto. Ha inizio in questo modo una storia destinata a evolversi in maniera imprevedibile. Sulla parodia del genere catastrofista, l’autore costruisce un esempio perfettamente riuscito di romanzo distopico, offrendoci una desolata riflessione sulla società contemporanea. Insieme a Il sogno del prete e Le maschere, Diamanti compone la trilogia Le favole, tre romanzi del tutto autonomi ma accomunati dalla medesima ispirazione e dall’impianto visionario.
