Download or read book Quest for Divinity written by Mohamed A. Mahmoud and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly influential Sudanese reformist thinker, Mahmud Muhammad Taha is regarded as a product of a dual legacy rooted in mystical Islam on the one hand and in the tradition of modernity on the other. Publicly executed in 1985 folowing his conviction of apostasy, Taha offered distinctly original interpretations of the Qur’an and a radical theory of Islamic prayer. In Quest for Divinity, Mohamed Mahmoud presents an in-depth and balanced treatment of Taha’s controversial yet significant thought. The author’s ability to provide access to relevant literature in both Arabic and English offers readers a rare view of the considerable nuance in Taha’s thought. With rich detail Mahmoud explores Taha’s theories of human freedom and his social message, referred to as "the second message of Islam" with its emphasis on political, economic, and social equality. Taha’s embrace of modernity is further assessed relative to his position on science, law, and art-areas that have always attracted Muslim modernists. Quest for Divinity will attract attention to Taha’s compelling but little-known intellectual contribution as a seminal modern reformer of Islam. Such recognition is long overdue and will enrich the current debates on Islam and modernity.

Download or read book Created Human Divinity written by John H.D. Lucy and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take control of your life, especially spiritually, knowing that God has created you for greatness. Claim the greatness that God intends for you now, and bring new courage into your life. Few distinctions are more fundamental to classical Christian theology than that between God and creation. In this remarkable book John Lucy challenges this fundamental distinction, proposing that Christians should reckon instead with the category of created human divinity. Lucy is to be commended for the remarkable range of theologians he engages, and for making his case with boldness and clarity. Good scholarship makes us think, and Created Human Divinity does just that. -R. Kendall Soulen, Professor of Systematic Theology at Wesley Theological Seminary

Book excerpt: Whether Jesus was really the Son of God or not is a central question for Christians—and one that has provoked heated debate since the time of Jesus' birth. Dean L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Theoretical Religion is easy. Even a chimpanzee can get it. What the world needs is Practical Scientific Religion.” “Once upon a time, there was a frog that lived in a well. It was born there and brought up there, and yet was a little, small frog. One day another frog that lived in the sea came and fell into the well. "Where are you from?" "I am from the sea." "The sea! How big is that? Is it as big as my well?" and it took a leap from one side of the well to the other. "My friend," said the frog of the sea, "how do you compare the sea with your little well?" Then the frog took another leap and asked, "Is your sea so big?" "What nonsense you speak, to compare the sea with your well!" "Well, then," said the frog of the well, "nothing can be bigger than my well; there can be nothing bigger than this; this fellow is a liar, so turn him out." This has been the difficulty with religious beliefs all through ages." Is it possible for the civilized human society to see beyond those tiny circles of belief systems? In Search of Divinity is a heart-warming journey towards the Kingdom of Conscience, beyond the never-ending conflicts among orthodox religious belief systems. Celebrated Neuroscientist and International Best-selling Author Abhijit Naskar in his surreal and spell-binding way reveals the path towards the liberation of the mind. He shows us the glimpse of a world, where religious faith doesn't become an impediment in the path of progress of thinking humanity. Naskar's painstaking efforts to build that world represent the quest of billions of peace-loving human beings. In Search of Divinity is the Handbook of Discovering the Kingdom of Absolute Oneness.

Download or read book In Quest for Divinity The True Path of Humanity written by By a Student and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that humanity is going through a spiritual awakening that is driving it into a quest for self-knowledge. This quest will, in time, bring humanity to the gates of self-realization and the inevitable acceptance that divinity is not only an outward manifestation but that it is innate and inherent, and forms the core of being of each human life. This quest is a profoundly personal one, and as such it should challenge all preconceived notions and structured beliefs. If you take your quest in earnest, the simple narrative of these experiences will prove to be real gems along the way. The author in writing this book brings to the surface in very simple terms a new understanding of Divinity that will hopefully move the concept from the halls of the theologians and esoterists to the avid minds of humanity, where it is most needed.
