Download or read book What the God seekers Found in Nietzsche written by Nel Grillaert and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, a large and varied group of the Russian intelligentsia became fascinated by Friedrich Nietzsche, whose provocative ideas inspired many of them to overcome obsolete traditions and to create new values. Paradoxically, the German philosopher, who vigorously challenged the established Christian worldview, invigorated the rich ferment of religious philosophy in the Russian Silver Age: his ideas served as a fruitful source of inspiration for the philosophers of the Russian religious renaissance, the so-called God-seekers, in their quest for a new religious consciousness. Especially Nietzsche's anthropology of the Übermensch was instrumental in their reformulation of Christianity. This book explores how three pivotal figures in the Russian religious reception of Nietzsche, i.e. Vladimir Solov'ëv, Dmitrii Merezhkovskii and Nikolai Berdiaev, engaged in a vacillating yet highly prolific debate with Nietzsche and how each of them appropriated his anthropology of the Übermensch in their religious philosophy. In order to explain Merezhkovskii's and Berdiaev's assessment of Nietzsche, the author highlights the significance of Dostoevskii: only by reading Nietzsche through the prism of Dostoevskii could both God-seekers pin down the religious ramifications of Nietzsche's thought. This book will be of interest to anyone fascinated by Nietzsche, Dostoevskii, Russian religious philosophy, Russian history of ideas and reception studies.

Download or read book INTENTIONAL CHRISTIAN 31 Day Devotional for God Seekers written by Jennifer Miller and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we are so multifaceted in who God created us to be and in all He created us to do. No matter where we are in the world, the color of our skin or the varying issues and character makeup of our individual lives. We have one common desire and that is to be steadfast in our devotion to God. By intentionally setting aside quality devotional time to commune with him, we can be steadfast inwardly and outwardly in response to everyday life and situations. The more we look into the lives of the men and women of the Bible, we observe how intentional their relationship with God was. By how they cultivated a private devotional life with him, then God used them to display His glory publicly. Through ridicule, flesh issues, rejection by family and friends, poverty, war, death, the hardships of life and many more things, they practiced the importance of cultivating an intimate relationship with God in private was essential to their existence and as their necessity. They practice intentionality with God by spending quality time with Him in spite of the everyday responsibilities of life. This is where the inspiration for this devotional Intentional Christian is derived from. Jesus, being our chief example, showed us, His children that we have to intentionally cultivate a private devotional life with him. He made an intentional and deliberate decision to cultivate an intimate relationship with his Father, through devotional time spent in private, when no one was looking, while being in his secret place. It is from these intimate moments Jesus spent with his Father he was always empowered, prepared and lived life victoriously every day, staying spiritually and physically in tune and connected to do the will of God: even in dying on the cross for the sins of the world "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Luke 5:16 "However, he made a practice of withdrawing to remote places in order to pray."

Book excerpt: It is easy to believe God has abandoned us. In atrocities from Hitler's Germany to today's Darfur, the meek and the poor are left to fend for themselves. In the United States, we are menaced by violent terrorists who claim to act in God's name. Our own neighbors threaten us with an absolute choice between faith and a fiery path to hell. Robert Levine steps into the fray with What God Can Do For You Now. A leading American clergyman, he asks us to commit to a relationship with a loving God. We can create a trusting partnership with the Almighty, give time to prayer, and strive to repair the world. In a time when genocide and terrorism wreak their terrible toll, he convinces us that the potential for tragedy exists alongside the potential for miracles, every day and every where. When we rekindle our faith in God, we rekindle our belief in ourown goodness, and start the change we need to repair ourselves and the world.

Download or read book Who Are You God written by Joanah E. Gana and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inquisitive minds ask questions to attain knowledge. The happiness money brings is temporary and can be destroyed, but the joy and satisfaction associated with knowledge are perpetual and boundless. Knowledge engenders confidence and makes one free of doubt about the subject in question. It gives a person access to opportunities and allows for advancement, but the authenticity and reliability of the knowledge acquired depend on the source or the originator. If the source is unreliable, the information is likely to be false or questionable and vice versa. As the manufacturer of a car is the best and most reliable source of information on everything about the car, questions about God are best answered by God Himself--through His Word, "straight from the horse's mouth," as the saying goes. This is what this book is about: knowing God through His self-attestations in His Word, the Bible. This book also attempts to encourage its readers to respond to God in the ways He desires, so as to optimize their lives on earth. The study and discussion questions after each chapter stimulate further understanding and applicability to real-life scenarios. My prayer is that every reader is greatly enriched by reading it and that new possibilities and dimensions of living are stirred by encountering this phenomenal God through His life-giving Word!
