Download or read book Peoples of an Almighty God written by Jonathan Goldstein and published by Anchor Bible. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some ancient civilizations, notably the Babylonians and the Israelites, held fast to the belief that their particular god (or gods) were stronger than all other heavenly powers and gods combined, supremely able to protect their well-being and success as a nation. This belief (which resounds in the modern-day rallying cry "God is on our side") led to some foolhardy and rash decisions, particularly when it came to war. For a nation defeated or conquered by a foreign power inevitably faced the profound, perplexing question: "Why did our God, who has sworn to protect us, allow this to happen?" Jonathan A. Goldstein turns to the religious literature of these ancient peoples to discover how they reconciled their beliefs with the realities of history. In a magnificent blend of several academic disciples (literary criticism, political theory, biblical and classical history), he compares and contrasts the responses of different eras and nations-from the Israelites, Babylonians, and Egyptians to the Zoroastrians, Iranians, and Persians under Alexander the Great. Goldstein's close readings of literature written following such devastating events as the fall of the Israelites to the Assyrians and the Babylonians demonstrate that theology, far from being a static and unchanging set of beliefs, evolves with the course of history. Revealing how each defeat helped to shape and define the religious beliefs of the conquered, "Peoples of an Almighty God "clearly demonstrates that no belief can remain unchanged or untouched by the beliefs of other people.
Download or read book Inside the Church of Almighty God written by Massimo Introvigne and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Branded as "the new Falun Gong" by local authorities, The Church of Almighty God is the most persecuted religious movement in China today. Thousands of police officers are deployed full time to identify and arrest its members. Hundreds of thousands of its devotees are in jail. Authorities claim, perhaps hyperbolically, that it has some four million members and accuse the group of serious crimes. Yet, the movement continues to grow. In this ground-breaking study, Massimo Introvigne offers an inside look at this once-elusive movement, sharing interviews with hundreds of members and the Chinese police officers who hunt them down. The story of The Church of Almighty God is one of rapid growth, dramatic persecution, and the struggle of believers to seek asylum in countries around the world. In his telling of the story, Introvigne reconstructs the Church's idiosyncratic theology, centered in the belief that Jesus Christ has returned in our time in the shape of a Chinese woman, worshipped as Almighty God, to eradicate the sinful nature of humans, and that we have entered the third and final time period in the history of humanity: the Age of Kingdom. A major book from one of the world's leading scholars of new religious movements, Inside The Church of Almighty God is a critical addition to the scholarship of Chinese religion.
Download or read book Almighty God Created the Races written by Fay Botham and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating cultural history of interracial marriage and its legal regulation in the United States, Fay Botham argues that religion--specifically, Protestant and Catholic beliefs about marriage and race--had a significant effect on legal decisions concerning miscegenation and marriage in the century following the Civil War. She contends that the white southern Protestant notion that God "dispersed" the races and the American Catholic emphasis on human unity and common origins point to ways that religion influenced the course of litigation and illuminate the religious bases for Christian racist and antiracist movements.

With worldwide plagues such as rampant terrorism and children shooting children, God Culture explores Jesus’ true intention of reconnecting mankind with Yahweh, while revealing why God behaves as He does, how we can learn to comprehend and relate to Him, and ultimately how we can apply His wisdom to our individual present day life experience leading to our ultimate destinies. God Culture dispels the age-old myth that “God works in mysterious ways.” The misunderstanding of God’s true motives, methods and divine nature has left millions of people yearning for answers to such timeless questions as “Why did God allow that? Has God left me? Or does He even exist?” When “Life can only be truly understood when looking backward” those who feel lost, confused and perhaps even abandoned will discover that He actually uses the every-day challenges and chaos of life to cultivate His will while simultaneously connecting with us on a personal level. This thought-provoking discussion has been composed to help you gain a new understanding of God and to develop the knowledge of and insights into God’s behavior, plan and purpose. If you have been perplexed by the daily chaos of life don’t miss God Culture. As you peer into the supernatural realm of heaven the God you discover may be quite different than you could have ever imagined.

Download or read book The Almighty written by Brent Saba and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-08-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Almighty: God's Holy Attributes & Their Meaning For Your Life is a 30-day devotional that draws the reader back to the timeless truths of God's character and nature and emphasizes the application of these rich truths into their daily life. Most Christians hear and sing descriptions for God such as "holy," "righteous," and "omnipotent," but the reality is these words hold little meaning. For most, it is difficult to grasp how God's attributes are more than an abstract concept. This is so because of the fragmentation that has slid into the church's teaching and discipleship. Instead of focusing on the splendor of God's greatness and goodness - and the pure meditation upon these truths alone - our teaching and discipleship has gravitated toward a man-centered teaching; one that emphasizes principled Christian living with little to no thought upon God. Consequently, the church knows little about who God is and our faith is at risk of becoming about humanity. The Almighty: God's Holy Attributes & Their Meaning For Your Life helps the reader connect seemingly esoteric concepts of God with principles for Christian living in a manner that is refreshingly practical. The book also includes a supplemental chapter "Meditating on God's Holy Attributes," over 100 definitions and concepts, and 250-plus references for further study.

Download or read book The Fatherhood of Almighty God written by Alfred Prescott and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fatherhood of Almighty God will dispel many misconceptions about the Lord's nature. God's compassion and mercy is evident throughout the text. Almighty God is a benevolent Father to all mankind. This Fatherhood nature can be experienced by anyone who enters into an intimate relationship with Him. Author Alfred Prescott believes there are widespread misinformation and misconceptions in respect to spiritual matters, and the nature of Almighty God. The Creator has been portrayed as unapproachable, unknown and terrible. Because of this misunderstanding, some turn their backs and live without God in their lives. This is a mistake. My own personal experience with Almighty God proved to be the backdrop for the book. Childhood experiences proved to be invaluable and are included. Excerpt from The Fatherhood: But there is a God of heaven who created us. He never changes. He is not affected by mood swings, nor is He affected by any external circumstance. He is not a 'deadbeat' dad who shrivels at the awesome responsibilities of fatherhood.He does not run for the hills because most of us are spoiled, unbalanced, self-centered brats who throw tantrums whenever we cannot get the world to revolve around us. As a true Father, Almighty God patiently awaits our positive response to His invitation to join Him in eternal bliss. Our God is the only entity in the entire universe that we can blindly place our undivided trust in.
