Download or read book God Faith and the New Millennium written by Keith Ward and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does being a Christian in the modern scientific age require intellectual suicide? What future for Christianity in the Third Millennium? In God, Faith and the New Millennium Keith Ward has produced a powerful and upbeat study of Christian belief that tackles questions such as these head on. In what he describes as a summary of his life’s work on Christianity, religion and science, Ward’s new and positive interpretation presents a Christian faith in harmony with the scientific worldview while remaining true to its traditions. This is a cutting-edge study that will provoke and inspire every Christian and anyone interested in the debate on the role of faith in the modern world. Through his examination of key issues such as Creation, evolution and the divine purpose, Ward demonstrates that there is a ‘natural fit’ between the scientific worldview and mainstream Christian beliefs – Christian faith gives insight into the meaning and purpose of the universe, the physical structure of which modern science has marvellously discovered.

Download or read book Jesus written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly accessible discussion, Bart Ehrman examines the most recent textual and archaeological sources for the life of Jesus, along with the history of first-century Palestine, drawing a fascinating portrait of the man and his teachings. Ehrman shows us what historians have long known about the Gospels and the man who stands behind them. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet--a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within the lifetime of his apostles and that a new kingdom would be created on earth. According to Ehrman, Jesus' belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization not only underscores the radicalism of his teachings but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to Jerusalem's established leadership.
Download or read book Honest to Jesus written by Robert W. Funk and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1996 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Honest to Jesus, Robert Funk, one of the preeminent biblical scholars of our time, embarks on a radical investigation into the transformation of Jesus the social rebel and iconoclast into Jesus the religious icon. Founder of the Jesus Seminar - the group of writers, philosophers, and theologians spearheading new research into the historical Jesus and the authenticity of the gospels - Funk has never before articulated his own bold and fearless vision of who Jesus truly was and how his legacy should be approached by the modern world." "Funk's investigation concludes with an explosive call to arms. In twenty-one theses, Funk articulates a revolutionary new vision of Jesus and Christianity for the next millennium. Freed from religious and political propaganda, liberated from the cobwebs of orthodoxy, this is a Jesus restored to the roles of social critic, dissident, and sage. Funk envisions a revitalized Christianity - shaped by history rather than orthodoxy and based not on the Christ of the creeds but on the teachings of Jesus in all their original power. Forthright, penetrating, and as radical as the mysterious figure it investigates, Honest to Jesus is a new classic in the debate over the search for the real Jesus and its implications for modern Christianity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Faith in the New Millennium written by Matthew Avery Sutton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Statue of Liberty--depicted on a roadside billboard--did not carry her customary torch and tablet. Instead, she shielded her eyes from words that towered beside her, words that highway drivers could not possibly avoid: "We are no longer a Christian nation." Underneath was the name of the man who spoke them, the nation's president, Barack Obama. He had made the original statement--"Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation, at least not just"--four years earlier. Since then those words had appeared, in one form or another, not just on billboards but in a host of other venues, a visible symbol of America's divide over religion and politics. In Faith in the New Millennium, a group of leading historians explores the shifting role of religion in American politics in the age of Obama, shedding new and fascinating light on the interplay of faith and politics. Each of the sixteen contributors examines a contemporary issue, controversy, or policy through a historical lens. In an age of the 24-hour-news-cycle, where complexity is often buried under bluster, these essays make a powerful case for understanding the stories behind the news. They tackle such topics as immigration reform, racial turmoil, drone wars, foreign policy, and the unstoppable rise of social media. Taken together, they reveal how faith is shaping modern America, and how modern America is shaping faith.
Download or read book Theology for the New Millennium written by Hassan Bfly and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're tired of having to choose between accepting things that don't make sense in order to believe in God and be a good person or rejecting God altogether in order to feel reasonable, then you owe it to yourself to read Theology for the New Millennium: The Introduction of Intellectual Righteousness. Hassan Bfly delivers a deep and thought provoking message concerning God, Heaven/Hell, and the meaning of life so powerful, it should be treated like scripture.It opens with the suggestion we apply the law of non-contradiction as a "mini truth test" to prove what we have reason to believe theologically instead of trying to figure out what people were trying to say centuries ago. After establishing standards of proof, Hassan argues God is real and uses zero as the only concept comparable to God without contradiction: God is to reality what zero is to math.To keep anyone from thinking he is saying God is irrelevant, he points out just as God is the creator, God is the destroyer. The only way to cease to exist as individuals would be to return to God. Literally, with God is Heaven or Hell. It is according to your perspective and appreciation which one it will be for you. Applying that perspective to your life enhances the benefits of all you do.Hassan Bfly shies away from trying to tell people how to live, but does give minimal life advice before discussing his personal outlook and breakthrough. He then finishes this awe-inspiring intellectual exhibition on existence and enjoyment by pointing out there is no room for debate and no reason to reject. The truth is better than any fiction or fantasy.Don't assume because Theology for the New Millennium logically proves the reality of God that it is a defense of any already established monotheistic religion. Throughout the book, Hassan overtly criticizes religious dogma as misleading, irrational, and hypocritical.They say there are two sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in the middle. In theology, the two sides have been faith-based monotheism and atheism. Intellectual Righteousness is the truth. Theology for the New Millennium is its introduction.

Download or read book The God Beat written by Costica Bradatan and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks we, as an increasingly secular nation, were reminded that religion is, for good and bad, still significant in the modern world. Alongside this new awareness, religion reporters adopted the tools of so-called New Journalists, reporters of the 1960s and '70s like Truman Capote and Joan Didion who inserted themselves into the stories they covered while borrowing the narrative tool kit of fiction to avail themselves of a deeper truth. At the turn of the millennium, this personal, subjective, voice-driven New Religion Journalism was employed by young writers, willing to scrutinize questions of faith and doubt while taking God-talk seriously. Articles emerged from such journalists as Kelly Baker, Ann Neumann, Patrick Blanchfield, Jeff Kripal, and Meghan O'Gieblyn, characterized by their brash, innovative, daring, and stylistically sophisticated writing and an unprecedented willingness to detail their own interaction with faith (or their lack thereof). The God Beat brings together some of the finest and most representative samples of this emerging genre. By curating and presenting them as part of a meaningful trend, this compellingly edited collection helps us understand how we talk about God in public spaces--and why it matters--in a whole new way.

Download or read book Where There Is Darkness Light written by David Wirick and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new century has been accompanied by wrenching economic change, worldwide terrorism, endless war, and unrequited personal stress. For all of us caught up in these times, it's hard to find meaning amid the relentless pace of our lives or respite for our weary souls. In this collection of poems, essays, and prayers, author David Wirick argues gently but persuasively to illustrate his point: to find meaning and hope, we have to find our way back to the sacred parts of ourselves and to our connection to eternity. Synthesizing traditions as different as Buddhism, Taoism, and monastic Christianity, Wirick presents to us a God that is wrapped in mystery but who, nonetheless, can be a source of comfort and joy. The God he gives us is not the God of dogma and intolerance, but a God of acceptance and love whose works can be seen every day. Both accessible and inspiring, Where There Is Darkness, Light delivers a message of hope, tolerance, and healing. Wirick shows us a path to a God who speaks to those who suffer, who are overwhelmed by pain, or who simply struggle to find their way in this world. Though we may never fully understand God, he explains how we can find our home in God's grace.
Download or read book Prophecy in the New Millennium written by Suzanne Newcombe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secular and spiritual prophets of doom abound in the information-rich twenty-first century - as they have for millennia. But there has yet to be worldwide floods, meteor impact, global computer failure, obvious alien contact, or direct intervention from God to end the world as we know it. Considering the frequency with which prophecy apparently fails, why do prophecies continue to be made, and what social functions do they serve? This volume gives a concise, but comprehensive, overview of the rich diversity of prophecy, its role in major world religions as well as in new religions and alternative spiritualties, its social dynamics and its impact on individuals’ lives. Academic analyses are complimented with contextualized primary source testimonies of those who live and have lived within a prophetic framework. The book argues that the key to understanding the more dramatic, apocalyptic and millenarian aspects of prophecy is in appreciating prophecy’s more mundane manifestations and its role in providing meaning and motivation in everyday life.
