Download or read book God s Ways with the World written by Daniel Hardy and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to recovering the truth and vitality of Christian faith by attempting to trace the ways of God with the modern world. Professor Hardy contends that the profundity of God's interaction with the world, despite centuries of valuable contemplation, can best be understood by addressing those aspects of human thought which often give modern life its vitality. These are the very features with which theology has tended to lose touch, but which here are explored as areas in which the character and purposes of God may be manifest. Following the example of the great eras of theological understanding in the past, this book seeks a new and deeper synthesis of faith, theology and other disciplined forms of life and thought to recover the dynamic of God's life and work in and from them. As it does so, it concentrates on the heartlands of Christian faith: worship; the Triune God; and the activity of God in the world, in language and cultures, in cosmology and the human being, in society and the form of the Church, and in the forms of human understanding - scientific, historical, cultural, religious and theological. The result is an uncompromising study which attempts to show the possibilities for a theology which becomes more fully realised by discovering and following the ways of God with the modern world.

Download or read book Theology Music and Time written by Jeremy Begbie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-07-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology, Music and Time aims to show how music can enrich and advance theology, extending our wisdom about God and God's ways with the world. Instead of asking: what can theology do for music?, it asks: what can music do for theology? Jeremy Begbie argues that music's engagement with time gives the theologian invaluable resources for understanding how it is that God enables us to live 'peaceably' with time as a dimension of the created world. Without assuming any specialist knowledge of music, he explores a wide range of musical phenomena - rhythm, metre, resolution, repetition, improvisation - and through them opens up some of the central themes of the Christian faith - creation, salvation, eschatology, time and eternity, Eucharist, election and ecclesiology. He shows that music can not only refresh theology with new models, but also release it from damaging habits of thought which have hampered its work in the past.
Download or read book The Drama of Living written by David F. Ford and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this long awaited follow-on volume to his Archbishop of Canterburys Lent book, The Shape of Living, the renowned theologian David Ford explores how we can live wisely not poring earnestly over difficult choices, but in the presence of Holy Wisdom - Gods darling and delight, playing in his presence and over the whole world. Such wisdom fires our hearts and imaginations, as well as our intellects, and enables us to live fully open to God, to others, and to lifes complexities, in freedom and joy. Playfulness is something many of us leave behind in youth, yet it is a primary characteristic of the kingdom of God the joy of play pervades creation and should pervade our lives. Drawing on scripture and the poetry of Micheal OSiadhail, David Ford enable us to recover a lost dimension in our Christian living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think of your local church. Without art--music, song, dance, etc.--it would be a much poorer place. But if protestants have any vision for the arts, it tends to be a thin one. This unique book is an attempt to contribute to a robust, expansive vision for the church and the arts. Its specific aim is to show how the many parts of the landscape of church and art hold together. You can think of it as a kind of helicopter flyover, but one with expert pilots. The guides include the likes of Eugene Peterson, Lauren Winner, Jeremy Begbie, Andy Crouch, and John Witvliet, helping to inspire readers and empower pastor-leaders with a vision of the church and the arts that is compelling, far-seeing, and profoundly transformative.
Download or read book Our Double Time written by Micheal O'Siadhail and published by Bloodaxe Books. This book was released on 1998 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living life to the full means offering trust as well as embracing vulnerability. That delicate balance was the pivot of Micheal O'Siadhail's previous book of poems, A Fragile City. In this new collection, he measures how a life can be lived in the intensity of 'our double time', alert to its threats, ambiguities and frailties, seizing pivotal moments and tracing the intricacies of families and friendships. Our Double Time ranges through tradition and renewal, lovemaking and gratitude, sufferings and secrets, birth and death, music and abundance. Like O'Siadhail's earlier work in Hail! Madam Jazz, these new poems resonate with a jazz-like vitality, both light and dark. Each poem is a motif expanding into movements that culminate in this glorious symphony in double time.
