Download or read book The Courage to Be written by Paul Tillich and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Courage to Be introduced issues of theology and culture to a general readership. The book examines ontic, moral, and spiritual anxieties across history and in modernity. The author defines courage as the self-affirmation of one's being in spite of a threat of nonbeing. He relates courage to anxiety, anxiety being the threat of non-being and the courage to be what we use to combat that threat. Tillich outlines three types of anxiety and thus three ways to display the courage to be. Tillich writes that the ultimate source of the courage to be is the "God above God," which transcends the theistic idea of God and is the content of absolute faith (defined as "the accepting of the acceptance without somebody or something that accepts").
Download or read book Finding Solid Ground written by Rev. Robert Emerick and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, Emerick, an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church and a licensed clinical social worker, embarked on a self-directed study to educate himself about the nation's principal political disputes. He discovered that America's dominant political and economic theories...are... pitting the demands of the individual against the needs of the community. But in the Constitution's preamble... the concerns of individual liberty and the general welfare are given equal weight, and a more equitable national philosophy will...combine the two. [He] also... discovers, contrary to the opinions of many, that the federal government's active role in fiscal affairs can have a stimulating effect...and trickle-down economics has largely been a failure... [Emerick] makes an... attempt to reconcile political polarities, offering a way to structure an economy that...he calls a 'Preamble Economy'. In the second part of the book, the author argues that Christianity has drifted away from the true ministry of Jesus, replacing his core message of love with errant institutional doctrine. [Emerick] singularly focuses on the sayings of Jesus... the book includes a collection of all of them-in order to excavate that teaching. "Emerick writes in unfailingly lucid prose, and his command of the issues is notable..." Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Affirmations of the Soul written by Jack Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jack Armstrong's newest book, he shares powerful and positive affirmations that remind us of spiritual truths we already know, help us release our attachment to negative thoughts or emotions, and clear the pathway to a more joyous, fulfilling and abundant life. The affirmations included in Affirmations of the Soul, which will be the first volume of a continuing series, address issues as varied as spiritual guidance, the manifestation of desires, letting go of despair, living in the moment and financial abundance. For example: "I claim control of this day and of my life. My choices determine the state of my human consciousness, and I choose life! I choose joy, and my days are joyous. I choose love, and my being touches the very being of others. I choose peace, and my essence is calming. I choose light, and I am the light of the world." and "I am alive with joy and enthusiasm. All my needs are being met. All things are working together for my highest good. I am blessed, and the endless flow of blessings carries me exactly where I need to go. Fear is gone. Doubt is gone. Lack is gone. The need to prove myself is gone. All negativity is now gone from my mind, emotions, body and life." The 31 affirmations included in this first volume can be used monthly, as a day-by-day devotional, or on the spur of the moment for inspiration in dealing with life's challenges. Since 1978, Armstrong has been receiving and transcribing spiritual wisdom through a form of channeling known as Inner Dictation (the same phenomenon through which A Course in Miracles was received). His previous publications, including his signature book, Lessons from the Source, have included clear and easy-to-understand teachings from Source about life and spirituality, but Affirmations of the Soul is the first to be devoted exclusively to some of the hundreds of affirmations he has received.

Download or read book Aristotle on God s Life Generating Power and on Pneuma as Its Vehicle written by Abraham P. Bos and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proposes an innovative rethinking of Aristotle’s work as a system that integrates his theology with his doctrine of reproduction and life. In this deep rethinking of Aristotle’s work, Abraham P. Bos argues that scholarship on Aristotle’s philosophy has erred since antiquity in denying the connection between his theology and his doctrine of reproduction and life in the earthly sphere. Beginning with an analysis of God’s role in the Aristotelian system, Bos explores how this relates to other elements of his philosophy, especially to his theory of reproduction. The argument he develops is that in talking about the cosmos, Aristotle rejected Plato’s metaphor of artisanal production by a divine Demiurge in favor of a biotic metaphor based on the transmission of life in reproduction, in which pneuma—not breath as it is often interpreted but the life-bearing spirit in animals and plants—plays a key and sustaining role as the vital principle in all that lives. In making this case, he defends the authenticity of the treatises De Mundo and De Spiritu as Aristotle’s, and demonstrates Aristotle’s works as a unified system that sharply and comprehensively refutes Plato’s, and in particular replaces Plato’s doctrine of the soul with a theory in which the soul is clearly distinguished from the intellect. Abraham P. Bos is Professor Emeritus of Ancient and Patristic Philosophy at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His books include Aristotle, On the Life-Bearing Spirit (De Spiritu): A Discussion with Plato and His Predecessors on Pneuma as the Instrumental Body of the Soul; The Soul and Its Instrumental Body: A Reinterpretation of Aristotle’s Philosophy of Living Nature; and Cosmic and Meta-cosmic Theology in Aristotle’s Lost Dialogues.

The book is divided into three sections. Part 1 presents primary source readings that will encourage discussion and debate; Part 2 offers easy-to-use activities that focus on the direct application of philosophy to areas such as critical thinking, language, and the arts; and Part 3 offers a unique perspective just for teachers—a philosophical look at how teachers can become more reflective philosophers themselves.
