Download or read book Dialogue Among the Faith Communities written by Lucien F. Cosijns and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2008 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After twenty-five centuries of rapid human evolution, dialogue has now come to be a word and concept of daily use in the media and a theme of discussion all over the world. In this current period of our human history, the centuries-long struggle for survival and our belligerent confrontation with each other is being replaced by a new era of collaboration in dialogue. The most intriguing aspect of this new dialogue is that the interfaith conversation has extended worldwide within the past fifteen years. Ultimately, this new conversation has resulted in efforts towards a corroborative dialogue between the world of faiths and the political world. This book's aim is to sketch this striking movement in its philosophical and religious evolution and expression
Download or read book I Want You to Be written by Tomáš Halík and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his two previous books translated into English, Patience with God and Night of the Confessor, best-selling Czech author and theologian Tomáš Halík focused on the relationship between faith and hope. Now, in I Want You to Be, Halík examines the connection between faith and love, meditating on a statement attributed to St. Augustine—amo, volo ut sis, “I love you: I want you to be”—and its importance for contemporary Christian practice. Halík suggests that because God is not an object, love for him must be expressed through love of human beings. He calls for Christians to avoid isolating themselves from secular modernity and recommends instead that they embrace an active and loving engagement with nonbelievers through acts of servitude. At the same time, Halík critiques the drive for mere material success and suggests that love must become more than a private virtue in contemporary society. I Want You to Be considers the future of Western society, with its strong division between Christian and secular traditions, and recommends that Christians think of themselves as partners with nonbelievers. Halik’s distinctive style is to present profound insights on religious themes in an accessible way to a lay audience. As in previous books, this volume links spiritual and theological/philosophical topics with a tentative diagnosis of our times. This is theology written on one’s knees; Halik is as much a spiritual writer as a theologian. I Want You to Be will interest both general and scholarly readers interested in questions of secularism and Christianity in modern life.
Download or read book Emptiness written by John Corrigan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Christians in America, becoming filled with Christ first requires being empty of themselves—a quality often overlooked in religious histories. In Emptiness, John Corrigan highlights for the first time the various ways that American Christianity has systematically promoted the cultivation of this feeling. Corrigan examines different kinds of emptiness essential to American Christianity, such as the emptiness of deep longing, the emptying of the body through fasting or weeping, the emptiness of the wilderness, and the emptiness of historical time itself. He argues, furthermore, that emptiness is closely connected to the ways Christian groups differentiate themselves: many groups foster a sense of belonging not through affirmation, but rather avowal of what they and their doctrines are not. Through emptiness, American Christians are able to assert their identities as members of a religious community. Drawing much-needed attention to a crucial aspect of American Christianity, Emptiness expands our understanding of historical and contemporary Christian practices.

Download or read book The Monstrous New Art written by Anna Zayaruznaya and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late medieval motet texts are brimming with chimeras, centaurs and other strange creatures. In The Monstrous New Art, Anna Zayaruznaya explores the musical ramifications of this menagerie in the works of composers Guillaume de Machaut, Philippe de Vitry, and their contemporaries. Aligning the larger forms of motets with the broad sacred and secular themes of their texts, Zayaruznaya shows how monstrous or hybrid exempla are musically sculpted by rhythmic and textural means. These divisive musical procedures point to the contradictory aspects not only of explicitly monstrous bodies, but of such apparently unified entities as the body politic, the courtly lady, and the Holy Trinity. Zayaruznaya casts a new light on medieval modes of musical representation, with profound implications for broader disciplinary narratives about the history of text-music relations, the emergence of musical unity, and the ontology of the musical work.

Download or read book Cultures of Eschatology written by Veronika Wieser and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 1221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all religions, in the medieval West as in the East, ideas about the past, the present and the future were shaped by expectations related to the End. The volumes Cultures of Eschatology explore the many ways apocalyptic thought and visions of the end intersected with the development of pre-modern religio-political communities, with social changes and with the emergence of new intellectual and literary traditions. The two volumes present a wide variety of case studies from the early Christian communities of Antiquity, through the times of the Islamic invasion and the Crusades and up to modern receptions, from the Latin West to the Byzantine Empire, from South Yemen to the Hidden Lands of Tibetan Buddhism. Examining apocalypticism, messianism and eschatology in medieval Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist communities, the contributions paint a multi-faceted picture of End-Time scenarios and provide their readers with a broad array of source material from different historical contexts. The first volume, Empires and Scriptural Authorities, examines the formation of literary and visual apocalyptic traditions, and the role they played as vehicles for defining a community’s religious and political enemies. The second volume, Time, Death and Afterlife, focuses on key topics of eschatology: death, judgment, afterlife and the perception of time and its end. It also analyses modern readings and interpretations of eschatological concepts.

Download or read book Satan the Anti Christ and the False Prophet written by Larry I. DeRycke and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti-Christ Defined I feel that it is important to understanding Satan that we define just what is meant by the word anti-Christ. The word Christ is obvious, it refers to the Savior, the son of God, the God of Creation. The English word anti means, to be against, or in opposition to. The problem is that the word anti as used in the Bible is Greek in its origin, and therefore has a definition with more meaning than the English word. In the Bible Concordance anti-Christos, is defined as: False Christ, Substitute for Christ, Opposite of, reverse, neutralizing, antagonistic. Therefore, the anti-Christ is someone or something that makes you think they are Christ, through false representation, and substitution. This can be illustrated in the Bible with the following verses. The purpose of this book is to reveal Gods True Word, to all who seek to know Gods Truth.
Download or read book Europe and the Faith written by Hilaire Belloc and published by IndyPublish.com. This book was released on 1921 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...] Spain, not devout at all, but hating things not Catholic because those things are foreign, was more than apart. Britain had long forgotten the unity of Europe. France, a protagonist, was notoriously divided within herself over the religious principle of that unity. No modern religious analysis such as men draw up who think of religion as Opinion will make anything of all this. Then why was there a fight? People who talk of "Democracy" as the issue of the Great War may be neglected: Democracy-one noble, ideal, but rare and perilous, form of human government-was not at stake. No historian can talk thus. The essentially aristocratic policy of England now turned to a plutocracy, the despotism of Russia and [...]."
