Download or read book The Lonely Man of Faith written by Joseph B. Soloveitchik and published by Image. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph B. Soloveitchik, the rabbi known as “The Rav” by his followers worldwide, was a leading authority on the meaning of Jewish law and prominent force in building bridges between traditional Orthodox Judaism and the modern world. In THE LONELY MAN OF FAITH, a soaring, eloquent essay first published in Tradition magazine in 1965, Soloveitchik investigates the essential loneliness of the person of faith in our narcissistic, materially oriented, utilitarian society. In this modern classic, Soloveitchik uses the story of Adam and Eve as a springboard, interweaving insights from such important Western philosophers as Kierkegaard and Kant with innovative readings of Genesis to provide guidance for the faithful in today’s world. He explains prayer as “the harbinger of moral reformation,” and discusses with empathy and understanding the despair and exasperation of individuals who seek personal redemption through direct knowledge of a God who seems remote and unapproachable. He shows that while the faithful may become members of a religious community, their true home is “the abode of loneliness.” In a moving personal testimony, Soloveitchik demonstrates a deep-seated commitment, intellectual courage, and integrity that people of all religions will respond to.

Download or read book Hasidism and Modern Man written by Martin Buber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hasidism, a controversial, mystical-religious movement of Eastern European origin, has posed a serious challenge to mainstream Judaism from its earliest beginnings in the middle of the eighteenth century. Decimated by the Holocaust, it has risen like a phoenix from the ashes and has reconstituted itself as a major force in the world of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Philosopher Martin Buber found inspiration in its original tenets and devoted much of his career to making its insights known to a wide readership. First published in 1958, Hasidism and Modern Man examines the life and religious experiences of Hasidic Jews, as well as Buber's personal response to them. From the autobiographical "My Way to Hasidism," to "Hasidism and Modern Man," and "Love of God and Love of Neighbor," the essays span nearly half a century and reflect the evolution of Buber’s religious philosophy in relation to the Hasidic movement. Hasidism and Modern Man remains prescient in its portrayal of a spiritual movement that brings God down to earth and makes possible a modern philosophy in which the human being becomes sacred.

Download or read book Humility in the Writings of Charles Wesley and the Early Church Fathers Mothers written by S T Kimbrough and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humility is a central focus of the early church fathers/mothers. Similarly, it is at the heart of Charles Wesley’s thought expressed in his poetry, sermons, and journal. For Wesley, humility plays an active role in the process of salvation. “It can but lead to faith,” he says. For the fathers/mothers of the early church, salvation void of humility is unthinkable. For Wesley the words “humble” and “humility” pervade almost every aspect of Christian character, personality, and experience. A careful examination of Wesley’s writings reveals congruences with and a close relationship to the thought of the early church fathers and mothers on the subject of humility. Throughout this study, examples from witnesses of the Eastern church emphasize the closeness of their thought with that of Charles Wesley. A careful comparative study is made of St. Basil the Great’s “Homily on Humility” and Wesley’s multiple references to humility in prose and poetry. This leads to an interesting response to the question: How does one practice humility? St. Basil says, “Everything that Christ did was a lesson in humility.” This study suggests that in the cycle of the Christian year and the liturgical rehearsal of everything that Christ did, one learns to practice humility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The humbling of one's heart is the means by which they successfully knock on elevation's door. Therefore, it is as arduous for anyone to truly be exalted as they find it difficult to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God. By what technology did I write a book that would inspire millions of people around the world when all the odds were against me as far as ethos is concerned? When I was microscopic in my own eyes, the Lord saw me and loved me into becoming a blessing to nations. I heard questions that I simply did not have the answers to. Who are you? Where did you come from? Who are your parents? Who is going to sponsor you? Who's going to read your book? Why should people even listen to you? How are you going to make it anyway? Do you even have a college degree? What company is going to publish you? These were not questions posed by others; these were interrogations that I wrestled with in my head. For the longest time, I was against myself, but all along, the Holy Spirit was for me. Hence, here I am--a published author. There was more dispiritedness that came from myself than anyone else could encourage or discourage. But my help came from the hill of the One who made it His business to clean my hands more than I could get them dirty and purify my heart with a fire that no cold could conquer. Holy Spirit Academy: A Hair Strand of Humility's Head will certainly strengthen, renew, and restore your heart, mind, and soul. In fact, it is the purpose of this volume to endue you with a degree of knowledge and understanding of God that could only have sprung from the Spirit of Jesus.
