Download or read book God Interrogated written by Lynne Renoir and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lynne Renoir began life as a devout Christian, but after many years, she realized that her faith was not working. She sought an explanation for her situation by completing postgraduate degrees in psychology and philosophy and carrying out research in quantum theory. Drawing on the insights that the universe is multidimensional and that everything is ultimately one, Renoir proposes that we, too, are multidimensional beings. She points out that what we believe about anything is generally deemed to be either true or false. This approach in her view is applicable to our everyday three-dimensional reality, but that transformation occurs when what we consciously accept as fact resonates with the oneness that lies at the deepest level of our being.

Download or read book The Reason for God written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-02-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller people can believe in—by "a pioneer of the new urban Christians" (Christianity Today) and the "C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion. Using literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and potent reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.
Download or read book God s Hostage written by Andrew Brunson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave. In 2016, they were arrested. Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political pawn whose story soon became known around the world. God's Hostage is the incredible true story of his imprisonment, his brokenness, and his eventual freedom. Anyone with a heart for missions, especially to the Muslim world, will love this tension-laden and faith-laced book.
Download or read book Questioning God written by Timothy Radcliffe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many today may see the relationship between God and humanity as one of passive submission and thus unquestioning. Two outstanding Dominicans, Timothy Radcliffe and Lukasz Popko. suggest otherwise. Questioning God explores Biblical conversations with God and there is no genuine conversation without true questions. Our God question us, from the first conversation of God and humanity in the Bible, where God asks Adam, 'Where are you?', to the Risen Lord's questioning Peter on the beach: 'Do you love me more than these others?' But humanity questions God too, as in the audacious questioning of Jesus by the Samaritan woman at the well. In this process of mutual questioning, humanity is drawn ever deeper into the life of God, the eternal conversation of the Trinity. Insights into these transformative conversations are helpful as the Church questions how to be faithful to God in this uncertain time. Fr Popko offers a fresh translation and insights of Biblical scholarship, and Fr Radcliffe extends his rich experience as a preacher, theologian, and an inspiring commentator.

Download or read book What Are You Doing God written by Bo Ortego and published by Bo Ortego. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★ Have you ever questioned God or wanted to? ★ If so, this book is for you. Maybe it's because of a loss or tragedy. Maybe it's because everything around you seems to be going wrong. Maybe it's because everything you planned and hoped for has fallen apart. Perhaps it's because God isn't answering your prayers. Or maybe questioning God is the only thing you feel like you can do. Whatever the reason, most people have probably had a moment where they questioned or wanted to question God. During those times, what are we supposed to do? How do we move forward? While we may never get direct answers to our questions, God has given us something to help us navigate through those times when we find ourselves questioning Him -- the biblical book of Habakkuk. It is a crucial part of the Bible that is all about questioning God. Why this book? The purpose of What Are You Doing, God? is simple -- to help followers of God understand what God has left us through the book of Habakkuk. Bo Ortego will illuminate the timeless lessons and principles found within the pages of this biblical book. As a result, we can all be better equipped to navigate through the times when we face situations and circumstances that cause us to question God. The prayer for everyone who reads this work is that you leave understanding more about God, how great He truly is, and that He loved us enough to leave us this book of the Bible to assist us during the hardest and darkest moments of our lives. ✓ Discussion Questions Included ★ "I don't know a single Christian who doesn't want to stand victoriously over sin, evil, and our enemy. We want to declare them defeated and see God's power manifested in and through us. But almost no one wants to take the journey to get there. We all want the victory, but no one wants the trials. We all want the miracle, but no one wants to bear the cross. So often, we love the ending but not the journey." -Quote from chapter 4.
Download or read book RANDOM REFLECTIONS Interrogation of Faith written by Celestine Nweze and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man living in history (time and space) is not equipped to fully understand the nature of God who lives in eternity. Eternity is all-pervading, it seems, history still being part of it, and so God's nature is appreciable in our realm to an unimaginable extent. If you decide to be a disciple of Jesus Christ prepare yourself for a great ordeal. Does it mean that you will be free of difficulties if you are not his disciple? Certainly, the terrain of discipleship is very rugged. But - - - Is it not difficult to understand why this divergent conversation in the US should exist at all? Pro-life or Pro-choice, what is sin is sin, what is bad is wrong. "Sin" separates the two Parties in a "Country Under God". "Forgive and forget" has become a common parlance. Can Forgive, Cannot Forget? The nature and direction of a contextual exactness here is largely un-grasped.

Download or read book The Interrogation of Joan of Arc written by Karen Sullivan and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transcripts of Joan of Arc's trial for heresy at Rouen in 1431 and the minutes of her interrogation have long been recognized as our best source of information about the Maid of Orleans. Historians generally view these legal texts as a precise account of Joan's words and, by extension, her beliefs. Focusing on the minutes recorded by clerics, however, Karen Sullivan challenges the accuracy of the transcript. In The Interrogation of Joan of Arc, she re-reads the record not as a perfect reflection of a historical personality's words, but as a literary text resulting from the collaboration between Joan and her interrogators. Sullivan provides an illuminating and innovative account of Joan's trial and interrogation, placing them in historical, social, and religious context. In the fifteenth century, interrogation was a method of truth-gathering identified not with people like Joan, who was uneducated, but with clerics, like those who tried her. When these clerics questioned Joan, they did so as scholastics educated at the University of Paris, as judges and assistants to judges, and as pastors trained in hearing confessions. The Interrogation of Joan of Arc traces Joan's conflicts with her interrogators not to differing political allegiances, but to fundamental differences between clerical and lay cultures. Sullivan demonstrates that the figure depicted in the transcripts as Joan of Arc is a complex, multifaceted persona that results largely from these cultural differences. Discerning and innovative, this study suggests a powerful new interpretive model and redefines our sense of Joan and her time.
Download or read book On Interrogation Introspection Dialectic and the Ineluctable Polarity of Being and Knowing written by Matthew W. Knotts and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work considers the fundamentally “oppositional” structure of reality, viewing Augustine as a “Christian Heraclitus” and focusing on his conception of dialectic. Matthew W. Knotts situates Augustine's anthropology within a classical Roman philosophical context, while characterizing his intellect by continuous questioning. In this way, the book grounds a constructive philosophical-theological enquiry in an historical-critical study of the sources and their context.

Download or read book The Interrogation of Nikolai Berdyaev written by Frederick D. Facka and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who among us can know when good and evil will meet? What if they met, but with you in the middle? Are you prepared if your destiny is to take a stand? Will you pass the primordial test? Will you even have the discretion and discernment to recognize the test? How differently would you act if your own life or the lives of your loved ones were in the balance? What reservoir do you have or would you draw from to prevail? Is your reservoir barren? What tools or weapons would you skillfully wield? Could you even speak in your own defense? Could you rebut any fallacies hurled against you? Could you sow doubt between your accusers and divide them? What ideals would you hold true? Could you withstand the scrutiny of what you know to be true? Could you be at peace with the consequences of your actions? At a point in time, one hundred years ago, during one of the darkest periods of humanity known as the Red Terror in Moscow, Russia, as part of the Bolshevik Revolution, such a confluence of evil took place. This book is an adaptation of a rare and overlooked point in history, at a flashpoint where real men and real circumstances came together, the outcome of which we know. What we don't know is how it happened, how it went down, or what was said. The author takes you, the reader, on a roller coaster of emotions in this spiritual thriller, using the literary technique of historical fiction, based upon real events and documented history of the time. The author leads the reader to examine themselves through the lens of Nikolai Berdyaev. Berdyaev puts on the armor of God in the face of evil. He heroically wields logic, reason, faith, and truth during his primordial test. Will he prevail? Will he defend himself and ultimately humanity at the flashpoint? Will his example lead us today to drop our own preconceptions and prejudices against one another? Can his example show us the way to reconciliation and peace? Put on your spiritual armor!

Book excerpt: Using a linguistic point of view, The Language of Confession, Interrogation, and Deception is a practical explanation of how confessions work, written by the "father of forensic linguistics", Roger W. Shuy.

He concludes the volume with explicit advice on how to conduct interrogations that will yield credible evidence. A landmark volume with cross-disciplinary applications, The Language of Confession, Interrogation, and Deception is useful for professionals and academics in linguistics, forensic linguistics, criminal justice, communication, and interpersonal violence.
