Download or read book An Awakening to Awareness of Our Humanity written by John Foster and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in 1953 the structure of DNA was eventually mapped and bio-technology started to take over from philosophy in its understanding of what it is to be human, the personal became highly important in seeking a solution to the pressing problems in a modern, dynamic society. Once it was established that the building blocks of all life on this earth were the pairs of chromosomes on the DNA double helix and that the DNA segment of each human being was unique to that individual, then the authentic way forward was to respect and value this uniqueness and to promote and develop it. Human differentiation is as staggering as the trillions of millions of stars in the heavens and a unique inheritance. Here is to hand a new contemporary language, the language of genetics, to relate science to faith. Here is a human language born out of science to equip faith to communicate with it at a time when the communication lines are down and science and faith with their rival anthropologies cannot speak to one another. Suddenly gospel texts begin to be understood in a new way: "the hairs of your head are all numbered". The underlying themes of the Bible, creation, inheritance, universal relatedness, common humanity, begin to be appreciated in a new, personal and immediate way. Abraham, the father of faith, was called out of the comfort and security of the known into the unknown, to a land without maps. He never returned to the Oaks of Mambre. So too, genetics tells us that human existence is precarious and uncertain. Humanity took an evolutionary leap forward in discovering its true value and glory as the bringer of order in an otherwise random nature, and so we continue in history to move towards our eschatological future and the land of promise.

Download or read book Born of Need written by John Schuit and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-24 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern churchgoers often find the reality of original sin inconvenient. Of course, people acknowledge remorse and personal guilt as a present reality, but these feelings are hurriedly suppressed. Most people assume that they are basically good and innately innocent, but the Bible, history, and society’s current situation demonstrate otherwise, and the church needs to hear preaching that includes the biblical diagnosis. Conviction of sin can hurt deeply and collides with prevailing norms, but it is meant to drive sinners to the only remedy available—Jesus. This book is an invitation to revisit the doctrines of sin and salvation as they impact daily life. It is an unvarnished look at the Bible and a period in history when preaching fostered a sense of need in the general population, resulting in awakenings and large revivals. Today, serious Christians are invited to pause and take a long look at the state of the church and their own hearts.

Download or read book Democracy Human Rights and Law in Islamic Thought written by Mohammed Abed Al-Jabri and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Middle East, and in the west as well, there has been much discussion concerning the notion of Islamic rule and the application of shari'ah by the state. Central to these debates are the three key themes that Mohammad Abed al-Jabri looks at in this book: democracy, human rights and law. Jabri, one of the most influential political philosophers in the contemporary Middle East, examines how these three concepts have been applied in the history of the Arab world, and shows that they are determined by political and social context, not by Islamic doctrine. Jabri argues that in order to develop democratic societies in which human rights are respected, the Arab world cannot simply rely on old texts and traditions. Nor can it import democratic models from the West. Instead, he says, a new tradition will have to be forged by today's Arabs themselves, on their own terms. Through analysis of contemporary Arab ideology, its doubts about democracy, whether human rights are universal and the role of women and minorities in Islamic society, he expounds on the most pertinent issues in modern political philosophy. This lively interrogation of the building blocs of western conceptions of a modern state is a classic text and is vital for all students of modern Islamic political thought. Mohammed Abed al-Jabri (1936-2010) was Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Rabat. As one of the most influential political philosophers in the contemporary Arab world, he authored many acclaimed books including, in Arabic: The Structure of Arab Reason, Arab Political Reason' and Arab Ethical Reason, and in English: The Formation of Arab Reason: Text, Tradition and the Construction of Modernity in the Arab World (I.B.Tauris, 2011).

Download or read book Japanese Philosophy written by James W. Heisig and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-07-31 with total page 1362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Japanese Philosophy: A Sourcebook, readers of English can now access in a single volume the richness and diversity of Japanese philosophy as it has developed throughout history. Leading scholars in the field have translated selections from the writings of more than a hundred philosophical thinkers from all eras and schools of thought, many of them available in English for the first time. The Sourcebook editors have set out to represent the entire Japanese philosophical tradition—not only the broad spectrum of academic philosophy dating from the introduction of Western philosophy in the latter part of the nineteenth century, but also the philosophical ideas of major Japanese traditions of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shinto. The philosophical significance of each tradition is laid out in an extensive overview, and each selection is accompanied by a brief biographical sketch of its author and helpful information on placing the work in its proper context. The bulk of the supporting material, which comprises nearly a quarter of the volume, is given to original interpretive essays on topics not explicitly covered in other chapters: cultural identity, samurai thought, women philosophers, aesthetics, bioethics. An introductory chapter provides a historical overview of Japanese philosophy and a discussion of the Japanese debate over defining the idea of philosophy, both of which help explain the rationale behind the design of the Sourcebook. An exhaustive glossary of technical terminology, a chronology of authors, and a thematic index are appended. Specialists will find information related to original sources and sinographs for Japanese names and terms in a comprehensive bibliography and general index. Handsomely presented and clearly organized for ease of use, Japanese Philosophy: A Sourcebook will be a cornerstone in Japanese studies for decades to come. It will be an essential reference for anyone interested in traditional or contemporary Japanese culture and the way it has shaped and been shaped by its great thinkers over the centuries.

Download or read book Gaia Speaks written by Pepper Lewis and published by Light Technology Publishing. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pepper Lewis is a natural intuitive, a gifted full-body channel and a recognized writer, speaker and teacher of metaphysics, who travels the world sharing Gaia's wisdom at conferences, seminars, and in personal sessions. The unique and distinctive channeled messages brought forth by Pepper have become favorites of readers all over the world. Most popular are the featured articles authored by the sentience of our planet, Mother Earth, affectionately known as Gaia, which also appear in the pages of the monthly Sedona Journal of Emergence and in these books. "Gaia has always been animated, engaging and even humorous. That being said, she is also very direct and does not diminish her words to suit a guest. She aims directly for our hearts and rarely misses. Her energy is just as you might imagine the Earth to be: youthful and ancient, strong and elemental, soft, innocent and pristine, refined but a little rough around the edges. Gaia's voice is different than my own, and her use of language is altogether her own. Most people hear a dialect but cannot place it. Everyone seems to experience her in unique and different ways---which, not surprisingly, is her intention."--- Pepper Lewis "These days there are lots of channelers around, but only one Pepper Lewis. Her process with Gaia is unique, and the profundity of her messages rings with truth and the wisdom of the ages."--- Lee Carroll, channel for Kryon The book you now hold is like a mystery that will unfold as you read it. More than a collection of pages, you will find that it is one part textbook and one part oracle. You might even wonder if it is biographical or autobiographical in nature, as the coincidental references to your own life will seem almost uncanny. How can that be? Gaia is a living/learning/teaching library of everything that is, was or might be related to the Earth. Because you are Gaian, you are also'a part of the great living library that is. Gaia; you are a library within Gaia,' one whose contents are a collection of ever-unfolding experiences. You are a lifetimes-old master storyteller, unraveling each tantalizing chapter. That ts why you cannot help but find yourself within these pages. Your purposes are made of multidimensional similes and metaphors designed to stimulate, encourage, create and resolve. As Gaia tells it, you have at least seven purposes or reasons for being. You instinctively (consciously or unconsciously) know one or more of these, but others may remain hidden for many years or even throughout your entire lives. Given this expanded view of what you are and why you are here, you can begin to see how this book might be of use to you.
