Book excerpt: The scope of this book is best stated by the author in his opening chapter: "To trace some of the steps of what may be called the evolution of the spirit, or, in the light of modern knowledge, the growth of the soul as it moves upward. Given the spiritual being, what are the stages through which he will pass on his way to the goal toward which he is surely pressing." "Amory H. Bradford, D. D., the author of this suggestive book, is a leading Congregational minister, and belongs to the liberal wing of his denomination. Outside of that denomination he will well known as a thoughtful writer on latter-day subjects, and this new book will do much to extend his influence. Dr. Bradford is a theistic evolutionist, and as such represents that school of thinkers who believe that the evolutionary hypothesis can be made to consist with Christianity. If nowhere in this volume he obtrudes his belief in this respect, that belief none the less colors his thoughts. Aside then, from its religious merits, the book is one of much more than ordinary interest, and cannot fail to be helpful to man....Dr. Bradford writes excellent English; his style is clear and chaste, and remarkably free from verbiage; while every page reveals the severely conscientious and spiritually-minded thinker and the sincere lover of his kind....No one can follow him through these pages without feeling that he is with one who is doing him good." -The Literary World "A deep, searching, and vital study of great problems that confront the individual." -St. Paul Dispatch "Presents the distinctly spiritual aspect of the subject, especially in its practical bearings, with noticeable clearness, breadth, candor, and sympathy." -Buffalo Express "A thoughtful study of the spiritual life in man....Bradford's reflections and his growing experience, as time has passed, have inspired him with optimism. He has come to believe profoundly not only in the immortal life, but that no soul of man will ever, in the end, be 'cast as rubbish to the void,' because God's love cannot be defeated. In the 'fullness of Christ' is the soul's true goal, and for that all men, and not the elect few, were created. Believing thus, he finds a place for prayers for the dead, for the idea is to him untenable that when men die their state is irrevocably and forever fixed....His study of the soul's upward struggle, its sufferings, its disciplines, its conquests through Christ, will be felt as true by everyone, and his hopeful and trustful spirit knows no cry of defeat, but only the shout of victory." -The Christian Advocate "Dr. Bradford has been an influence and a force for right living, civic integrity, and high patriotism. He has always had strong convictions, has uttered them plainly and clearly, but has never scolded or fumed from pulpit or platform. Gentleness of manner and strength of purpose have united effectively in his work and in his personality." -New Outlook "The development, improvement, and final destiny of the individual soul....Dr. Bradford evidently recognizes the fact of future suffering for the impenitent. But he teaches that without exception, every soul will eventually be brought around to God's love." -The Christian Work and the Evangelist CONTENTS The Soul The Awakening of the Soul The First Steps Hindrances The Austere Re-Awakening The Place of Jesus Christ The Inseparable Companion Nurture and Culture Is Death the End?

Download or read book The Ascent to Truth written by Thomas Merton and published by HMH. This book was released on 2002-11-04 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of The Seven Storey Mountain explores the mysticism of Saint John of the Cross. The only thing that can save the world from complete moral collapse is a spiritual revolution. . . . The desire for unworldliness, detachment, and union with God is the most fundamental expression of this revolutionary spirit. In Ascent to Truth, author and Trappist Monk Thomas Merton makes an impassioned case for the importance of contemplation. Drawing on a range of thinkers—from Carl Jung to Pope Pius XII—Merton defines the nature of contemplative experience and shows how the Christian mysticism of sixteenth-century Spanish Carmelite Saint John of the Cross offers essential answers to our disquieting and troubling times. “For any who have the desire to look into meditation and contemplation . . . this is the book for which they have waited.” —New York Herald Tribune Book Review “For those who may be curious about mysticism, and for those who may be called to a life of contemplation, this is an excellent book.” —Catholic World
Download or read book The Ascent of Humanity written by Charles Eisenstein and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate self Our disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them. It has fired our near-pathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse. Fortunately, an Age of Reunion is emerging out of the birth pangs of an earth in crisis. Our journey of separation hasn't been a terrible mistake but an evolutionary process and an adventure in self-discovery. Even in our darkest hour, Eisenstein sees the possibility of a more beautiful world—not through the extension of millennia-old methods of management and control but by fundamentally reimagining ourselves and our systems. We must shift away from our Babelian efforts to build ever-higher towers to heaven and instead turn out attention to creating a new kind of civilization—one designed for beauty rather than height.
Download or read book The Ascent of the Soul Esprios Classics written by Amory H Bradford and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2021-06-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The phrases, "The Ascent of Man" and "The Descent of Man" are familiar to all readers of the literature of modern science. One of the most eminent of American writers on science and philosophy too soon taken from his work, if any act of Providence is ever too soon, has made a clear distinction between evolution as applied to the body and as applied to the spirit. In lucid and luminous pages he has taught us that evolution, as a physical process, having culminated in man can go no further along those lines; that henceforward "the Cosmic force" will be expended in the perfection of the spirit, and that that process will require eternity to complete."

Download or read book Bonaventure s Aesthetics written by Thomas J. McKenna and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the standard approach to Bonaventure’s aesthetics established the broad themes that continue to inform the current interpretation of his philosophy, theology, and mysticism of beauty: his definition of beauty and its status as a transcendental of being, his description of the aesthetic experience, and the role of that experience in the soul’s ascent into God. Nevertheless, they also introduced a series of pointed questions that the current literature has not adequately resolved. In Bonaventure’s Aesthetics: The Delight of the Soul in Its Ascent into God, Thomas J. McKenna provides a comprehensive analysis of Bonaventure’s aesthetics, the first to appear since Balthasar’s Herrlichkeit, and argues for a resolution to these questions in the context of his principal aesthetic text, the Itinerarium mentis in Deum.
Download or read book Soul Winners written by David Clary and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American evangelicals have always been innovators. They reimagined what a church could be, whether it was a humble tent in a rural field or a high-tech urban megachurch. They embraced new forms of media to spread their message to the masses. They thrived in a fiercely competitive religious marketplace. In Soul Winners, journalist David Clary argues that this entrepreneurial spirit has indelibly shaped evangelical ministries and their worldview. For generations, evangelical leaders have partnered with tycoons to pay for their churches, crusades, and campuses. In turn, evangelicals adopted the pro-business, anti-government values of their conservative benefactors. White evangelicals evolved into the Republican Party’s most loyal voting bloc. The close relationship between business and evangelicals has produced the growth-oriented megachurches that dot the nation’s landscape. Pastors such as Rick Warren used market research and management theory to create their “seeker-sensitive” churches. Televangelists and “prosperity gospel” preachers, most notably Joel Osteen, tell their audiences that faith will be rewarded in this world as well as in the kingdom to come. Clary’s narrative approach brings to life colorful characters such as the ballplayer-turned-preacher Billy Sunday, who condemned the “godless social service nonsense” of liberal churches, and Billy Graham, who brought evangelicalism into the highest precincts of business and politics. Soul Winners offers a fresh, balanced perspective on evangelicals and the consequences of their enduring influence on American life.
Download or read book Creating the Soul Body written by Robert E. Cox and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-04-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlines the principles and mechanics of the soul body, the spiritual vehicle that enables individual consciousness to survive the body’s death • Shows that the ancient Vedic, Egyptian, Hebraic, and Pythagorean traditions shared and understood this spiritual practice • Reveals modern science as only now awakening to this ancient sacred science Ancient peoples the world over understood that individual consciousness is rooted in a universal field of consciousness and is therefore eternal, surviving the passing of the physical body. They engaged in spiritual practices to make that transition maximally auspicious. These practices can be described as a kind of alchemy, in which base elements are discarded and higher levels of consciousness are realized. The result is the creation of a vehicle, a soul body, that carries consciousness beyond physical death. These spiritual preparations are symbolized in the Vedic, Egyptian, and Hebraic traditions as a divine stairway or ladder, a step-by-step path of ascent in which the practitioner raises consciousness by degrees until it comes to rest in the bosom of the infinite, thereby becoming “immortal.” This spiritual process explains the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, for example, whose reincarnation is confirmed in infancy through physical and spiritual signs, indicating that the consciousness has been carried from one lifetime to the next. In Creating the Soul Body, Robert Cox maps the spiritual journey of consciousness behind this sacred science of immortality and reveals the practice of creating a soul body in detail. He also shows that this ancient spiritual science resembles advanced theories of modern science, such as wave and particle theory and the unified field theory, and reveals that modern science is only now awakening to this ancient science of “immortality.”
