Download or read book Life Death and Christian Hope written by Daneen Warner and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges Christians to reframe dying and death in three ways. First, Christians should acknowledge the truth about the human condition. Having done so, Christians are then free to accept lament as an important Christian practice for moving from a dependency on human hope to hope in God or divine hope. Second, with lament Christians are better able to accept death and dying in response to the "Good News" of Holy Scripture, Baptism and Eucharist. The "Good News" is "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again"--the mystery of faith and source of Christian hope. This hope through God's grace moves Christians to love others within an eschatological community that transcends both time and place. Third, Christians transform faith communities in light of the "Good News" so that love flourishes in "daily dying" to self through beatitudinal living for others. As a result, the preparation of daily dying forms Christians to accept mortality not as the worst evil to resist in every way but rather as the final stage of a life long journey with Christ into eternal life. The book challenges Christians, both clergy and laypersons, to consider this perspective. This challenge is supported with both scriptural and theological explanations as well as practical observations for reflection from "unscientific" discussions with twenty Christians, both clergy and church member, from five different Christian traditions. +
Download or read book The Shaping of Ulster Presbyterian Belief and Practice 1770 1840 written by Andrew R. Holmes and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-11-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical study of the most influential and important Protestant group in Northern Ireland - the Ulster Presbyterians. Andrew R. Holmes argues that to understand Ulster Presbyterianism is to begin to understand the character of Ulster Protestantism more generally and the relationship between religion and identity in present-day Northern Ireland. He examines the various components of public and private religiosity and how these were influenced by religious concerns, economic and social changes, and cultural developments. He takes the religious beliefs and practices of the laity seriously in their own right, and thus allows for a better understanding of the Presbyterian community more generally.
Download or read book Hope to Die The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body written by Scott Hahn and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Catholics, we believe in the resurrection of the body. We profess it in our creed. We’re taught that to bury and pray for the dead are corporal and spiritual works of mercy. We honor the dead in our Liturgy through the Rite of Christian burial. We do all of this, and more, because when Jesus Christ took on flesh for the salvation of our souls he also bestowed great dignity on our bodies. In Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body, Scott Hahn explores the significance of death and burial from a Catholic perspective. The promise of the bodily resurrection brings into focus the need for the dignified care of our bodies at the hour of death. Unpacking both Scripture and Catholic teaching, Hope to Die reminds us that we are destined for glorification on the last day. Our bodies have been made by a God who loves us. Even in death, those bodies point to the mystery of our salvation.

Download or read book Hope Death Christian Responses written by MICHAEL A. DAUPHINAIS and published by Emmaus Academic. This book was released on 2023-01-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul famously challenges his readers in 1 Corinthians, “If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.” What does it mean to hope in Christ for the life to come? How can we intellectually defend such hope in the midst of secularist and materialist trends so prevalent in contemporary society? Even if we believe as Christians in eternal life, how do we find meaning in such hope when the injustices of the world and our own suffering often loom so large? Drawing primarily upon the witness of biblical revelation and its reception and formulation in the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, the essays in Hope & Death: Christian Responses answer contemporary questions related to how Christians might face suffering and death with hopeful minds and hearts. The essays recover Christian hope in three main parts: what hope reveals about God’s nature and his providence, how hope responds to and clarifies the meaning of human suffering, and the way in which all hope draws human beings to an end beyond this world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can any good come from thinking about death? Our natural tendency is to answer that question no! But what if our meditation on death was informed by a theological understanding of death, a recognition of the comfort Jesus’s death affords Christians, and ethical guidance for dealing with death in these complicated days of modern medical developments? Rather than being morbidly unhelpful, authors Joel R. Beeke and Christopher W. Bogosh contend that meditating on dying and death can be profitable, even necessary, for us.

Download or read book Death in Second Century Christian Thought written by Jeremiah Mutie and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Death in Second-Century Christian Thought' explores how the meaning of death was conceptualised in this crucial period of the history of the church. Through an exploration of key metaphors and other figures of speech that the early church used to talk about this fascinating and controversial topic, Jeremiah Mutie argues that the church fathers selected, adapted and exploited existing pagan ideas about the subject of death in order to offer a distinctively Christian view based on Biblical texts. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus were critical to this development, as was the Christian promise of eternal life. In this erudite book, Mutie shows how Christians engaged with the views of death in late antiquity, coming up with their own characteristic belief in life after death.
Download or read book DEATH Swallowed Up In Victory written by Frank Dobrowski and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century has created this great debate among those of the church here in America and around the world: Do Christians get taken up before the great tribulation or after? This debate seems to bounce back-and-forth with one idea against another, and when all is said and done, nobody seems to be the better for it one way or another. Scripture after scripture is quoted for pre-trib and then post-trib with such serious proclamation and both sides end up walking away in great dismay wondering about the other, "How could they not see what I was saying?" Is there an end to this debate before some telling time or event comes along for all to see? It was the apostle Paul who tackled this topic with great care and understanding. His discourse was with great insight and revelation that seemed to have come from the Lord Himself. In Paul's writings to Corinth, he finally came to state, "Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." What was Paul declaring here when he said "swallowed up"? Where has the church stood on the term "swallowed up"? Where are all the debaters at in regard to this term? Could this statement of Paul's be an end to this debate? I most assuredly say yes. I have found that Paul's statement is an irrefutable one declaring a post tribulation res/rap judgment. All of Paul's teachings on this topic are in full agreement, strengthening this idea without controversy. Once you see it and understand it, you will be converted to stand by it! Come take a look for yourself.
