Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text shows counter-intuitively, that the secular enterprise that everyday sociology appears to be pursuing is actually not what is really going on at sociology's deepest level. Sociology today is in fact animated by sacred impulses, driven by sacred commitments, and serves a sacred project. The book re-asserts a vision for what sociology is most important for, in contrast with its current commitments, and calls sociologists back to a more honest, fair, and healthy vision of its purpose.

Download or read book Redeeming Sociology written by Vern S. Poythress and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpersonal relationships are possible for humans because we are created in the image of a Trinitarian God. But if the Trinity is our model for relationships, why is the human condition rife with pain and evil? How are we to think correctly about fallen human relationships and our models for understanding them? Redeeming Sociology advocates a biblically informed model for human relationships—relationships rooted in the Trinitarian character of God, his governance of the world, and his redemption accomplished in Christ. Poythress examines how the breaking of relationships through sin leads to strife, murder, and oppression among human beings and sets cultures against one another. And he shows how these broken relationships are restored through the outworking of redemption in Christ. Though typical sociological models for interpersonal relationships may offer some valuable insights, they are handicapped by a fundamental misunderstanding of humanity. The biblical model that Poythress presents correctly diagnoses the problem of human relationships, so it can likewise prescribe a biblical solution that infuses new meaning and power into how we relate to others made in the image of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sociology of the Bible The lectures on Sociology I have been giving the students of our Theological Seminary for the past six years have been designed to make them leaders of the church in a conscious and intelligent effort to better society. I have tried to show them how the knowledge of the laws of God as we discover them both in the social life of mankind generally, and especially in the social life described in the Bible, may be applied in establishing the Kingdom of God, the highest ideal of society in each community and in the whole earth. This book contains the substance of these lectures wrought into form for popular reading. It is sometimes said "There is more sociology than theology in the Bible." Many books have been written upon Biblical Theology, treating the subject in a great variety of ways. This is the first book, as far as I know, upon Biblical Sociology. Books on Christian Sociology are generally confined to the teachings of Christ, or to a description of the Christian Society of today. In this book I try to gather the most important facts and principles of the society of the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation, to classify them in a sociological way, and to consider what light they throw upon some of the social problems of today. The book must be in the nature of an experiment both as to the subject and the manner of its treatment. I must try what seems to me the most attractive of the many possible ways of studying the matter. I make no claim of its being the best way; it is only suggestive. Others may have their attention awakened to this important and fascinating field and give it far better treatment than I can do. I send forth the book in the hope it may have some influence in advancing the Kingdom of God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Scrolls of Love written by Peter S. Hawkins and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scrolls of Love is a book of unions. Edited by a Christian and a Jew who are united by a shared passion for the Bible and a common literary hermeneutic, this volume joins two biblical scrolls and gathers around them a diverse community of interpreters. Respectful of traditional biblical scholarship, the collection of essays moves beyond it; alert to contemporary trends, the volume returns venerable interpretive tradition to center stage. Most significantly, it is interfaith, bringing together two communities that have read their Bibles in isolation from one another, in ignorance of the richness of the others traditions.
