Download or read book The Devil s Redemption 2 volumes written by Michael J. McClymond and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 1376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will all evil finally turn to good, or does some evil remain stubbornly opposed to God and God's goodness? Will even the devil be redeemed? Addressing a theological issue of perennial interest, this comprehensive book (in two volumes) surveys the history of Christian universalism from the second to the twenty-first century and offers an interpretation of how and why universalist belief arose. The author explores what the church has taught about universal salvation and hell and critiques universalism from a biblical, philosophical, and theological standpoint. He shows that the effort to extend grace to everyone undermines the principle of grace for anyone.
Download or read book Poetics of Redemption written by Andreas Kablitz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays on Dante collected in this volume interpret his Commedia as the attempt of a renewal of the Christian work of salvation by means of literature. In the view of his author, the sacro poema responds to a historical moment of extreme danger, in which nothing less than the redemption of mankind is at stake. The degradation of the medieval Roman Empire and the rise of an early capitalism in his birth town Florence, entailing a pernicious moral depravation for Dante, are to him nothing else but a variety of symptoms of the backfall of the world into its state prior to its salvation by the incarnation of Christ. Dante presents his journey into the other world as an endeavor to escape these risks. Mobilizing the traditional procedures of literary discourse for this purpose, he aims at writing a text that overcomes the deficiencies of the traditional Book of Revelation that, on its own terms, no longer seems capable of fulfilling his traditional tasks. The immense revaluation of poetry implied in Dante’s Commedia, thus, contemporarily involves the claim of a substantial weakness of the institutional religious discourse.

Download or read book Against Redemption written by Franco Baldasso and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discloses the richness of ideas and sheds light on the controversy that characterized the transition from fascism to democracy, examining authors, works and memories that were subsequently silenced by Cold War politics. How a shared memory of Fascism and its cultural heritage took shape is still today the most disputed question of modern Italy, crossing the boundaries between academic and public discourse. Against Redemption concentrates on the historical period in which disagreement was at its highest: the transition between the downfall of Mussolini in July 1943 and the victory of the Christian Democrats over the Left in the 1948 general elections. By dispelling the silence around the range of opinion in the years before the ideological struggle fossilized into Cold War oppositions, this book points to early postwar literary practices as the main vehicle for intellectual dissent, shedding new light on the role of cultural policies in institutionalizing collective memory. During Italy’s transition to democracy competing narratives over the recent traumatic past emerged and crystallized, depicting the country’s break with Mussolini’s regime as a political and personal redemption from its politics of exclusion and unrestrained use of violence. Conversely, outstanding authors such as Elsa Morante, Carlo Levi, Alberto Moravia and Curzio Malaparte, in close dialogue with remarkable but now neglected figures, stressed the cultural continuity between the new democracy and Fascism, igniting heated debates from opposite political standpoints. Their works addressed questions such as the working through of national defeat, Italian responsibility in WWII and the Holocaust, revealing how the social, racial, and gender biases that characterized Fascism survived after its demise and haunted the new born democracy.

Book excerpt: Little did Evan know his suicide attempt would not be a disappearing into a void but the beginning of a journey to repentance and faith. Long suffering from alcoholism and depression, college sophomore Evan Esco hoped to escape his pain by committing suicide. Evan hoped he would simply cease to be, but he did not count on the existence of God to foil his plans. Instead of wrath, God is now giving Evan the chance to repent—that is, the chance to return to the world above, turn from his sins, and place his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. But if Evan is to learn what it means to repent, he must first travel through the realms of the Inferno—Hell—and speak with those condemned. There, by interviewing shades and demons, some you may find familiar, Evan will learn why he must turn from his sins, look to Christ as his Savior, and trust in God to save him from such a realm.

When a frightening situation arises that threatens their new family, both parents must make sacrifices.

Download or read book Tormenting Tophet A Description of Hell written by Henry Greenwood and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenwood wrote this treatise as "a little city with great gates." It is a short treatise (a little city) with eternal truths that are applicable to every sinner (great gates). He launches his treatise from the text in Isaiah 30:33, "Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared.” This text contains in it a terrible and lamentable description of hell, prepared of old for the tormenting of all ungodly people of the world, no matter what estate or condition they are in, even for kings. He covers the descriptions of Tophet (hell), the preparation of Tophet, the depth of Tophet, the largeness of Tophet, the buring in Tophet, bitter torment of Tophet and then ends with an earnest and zealous prayer to be delivered from Tophet. This doctrine is indeed awful and dreadful, yet it is of God. It is a dreadful thing, but yet a common thing, for people to go to hell. This work by Greenwood will either continue to assure the Christian to hold steadfastly to Christ and his atonement, to love God and avoid hell, or used by God’s Spirit to awaken the dead in sin to the reality of a literal hell waiting for them at the moment Christ calls them into eternity. This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.
Download or read book The Divine Comedy Inferno Purgatorio Paradiso written by Dante Alighieri and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio & Paradiso' is a monumental epic poem divided into three parts, each representing a different realm in the afterlife. The literary masterpiece explores themes of sin, redemption, and divine justice through intricate allegorical storytelling and vivid imagery that immerses the reader in a journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Written in the early 14th century, the book serves as a significant work of medieval literature and a reflection of Dante's political and religious beliefs. The author's use of intricate symbolism and detailed descriptions creates a rich tapestry of moral and spiritual exploration, making it a timeless classic in Western literature. Dante Alighieri, a renowned Italian poet and philosopher, drew inspiration from his own personal experiences and the political turmoil of his time to craft 'The Divine Comedy'. Exiled from his hometown of Florence, Dante used his epic poem as a platform to express his views on morality, justice, and the hierarchy of the universe, showcasing his deep understanding of theology and human nature. I highly recommend 'The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio & Paradiso' to readers who appreciate complex allegorical narratives, philosophical reflections on life and death, and masterful poetic craftsmanship. Dante's timeless work continues to captivate audiences with its profound exploration of the human condition and its enduring relevance in today's world.
