Download or read book Robot Theology written by Joshua K. Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between artificial intelligence, robots, and theology? The connections are much closer than one might think. There is a deep spiritual longing in the world of AI and robotics. Technology is a prayer; it reveals the depth of our eschatology. Through the study of AI and robotic literature one can see a clear desire to both transcend human limitations and overcome the fallenness of human nature. The questions of ethics, power, and responsibility are not new to Christian anthropology. This book will introduce and examine some of the major ethical issues surrounding current AI and robotic technology from a theological and philosophical lens. In the study of AI and robot ethics, the Christian community has a chance to join the global efforts to build technology for good. Will we join them?

Download or read book Biblical Humility Works written by Jeffry Williams and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Biblical Humility Works" provides a biblical perspective concerning humility and pride. It demonstrates the powerful grace that God provides to the humble and delineates that powerful opposition of God to the person who is parked in pride. One contrast outlined is the blindness that invariably accompanies pride and the brilliant illumination of truth that is always associated with humility. Further a key purpose of this work is to shine a flashlight ahead on a path toward growth in humility. A pathway is also illuminated to systematically reduce our propensity toward pride. Pride is examined from its inception in the Garden of Eden to its deception in our lives today. Humility is examined in the many ways that it is displayed in the lives of those revealed to us in the Word of God. Critically humility and pride are contrasted by the grace that is given by God to the humble and the opposition of God to those who walk in pride. A Humility Quotient test is included to allow an interested individual to self evaluate their humility level as well as to evaluate potential progress over time. There is also a study guide provided to enhance the potential for growth.

Download or read book A Practice Beyond Cultural Humility written by Claudia Grauf-Grounds and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Practice Beyond Cultural Humility offers specific guidance to support students and practitioners in providing on-going, culturally-attuned professional care. The book introduces a multicultural diversity-training model named the ORCA-Stance, an intentional practice which brings together four core components: Openness, Respect, Curiosity, and Accountability. Drawing from an array of influences, it showcases work with common clinical populations in a variety of contexts, from private practice to international organizations. Each clinical chapter offers a brief review of information relevant to the population discussed, followed by a case study using the ORCA-Stance, and a summary of recommended best practices. In each case, the practice of the ORCA-Stance is shown to allow relationships to become more culturally sensitive and, therefore, more effective. A Practice Beyond Cultural Humility provides practical examples, research, and wisdom that can be applied in day-to-day clinical work and will be valuable reading for a wide-range of mental health students and clinicians who seek to continue their professional development.

Download or read book Pastoral Leadership written by Won Sang Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ascending to heaven, Jesus Christ gave the church the Great Commission to expand the gospel to all nations. Despite this biblical commission, it is still an unfinished task. As leaders of local churches, pastors play a crucial part in this endeavor. Pastoral leadership principles have varied widely throughout history, yet it is interesting to discover the similarities between pastoral leadership principles practiced by John Chrysostom (AD 347-407) in Antioch and Constantinople, and Won Sang Lee (1937-) in Washington, DC. Despite ministering 1600 years apart, both pastors share the same core values: care for people, Christ-like character, biblical preaching, and world missions. This suggests that continued emphasis on these principles will play a significant role in fulfilling the Great Commission, independent of time and place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a very fast-paced world, and we are constantly on the move trying to keep up with everything. In doing so, we drain ourselves of energy. We live for family, work, and other people; so much so that we forget about ourselves. Sometimes we allow others to define who we are, and we forget who God says we are. How can we regain strength and renew our inner peace, joy, and happiness? God is calling us to come to him, fellowship together, and bring our burdens to him. A refreshing time with God contains 365 days of devotions and inspiration that help you discover your unique self. Opening your Bible daily with this guide helps you understand that God has created you to make a difference. It allows you to discover your power of dominion and take back control. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)
