Download or read book The Crucible of Life written by Timothy J. Crutcher and published by Asbury Theological Seminary Se. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is published in cooperation with the Center for the Study of World Christian Revitalization Movements at Asbury Theological Seminary. Building on the work of the previous studies, the Center provides a focus for research in the history and practice of revitalization movements within the Christian tradition. The purpose of this project is to sponsor interdisciplinary, international, and interdenominational research on the relationship between religious revivals and socio-cultural change. The Center recognizes the need for conducting research that combines insights from the history of evangelical renewal and revival movements with anthropological and religious studies literature on revitalization movements. It also networks with similar or related research and study centers around the world, in addition to sponsoring its own research projects. Crutcher's study of John Wesley's understanding of experience provides a comprehensive survey of Wesley's use of experience for doing theology and takes that discussion to new depths and clarity, and in so doing he serves to advance the concern for revitalization within Christianity that cannot be meaningfully articulated without attention to this foundational issue.
Download or read book The Great Detective at the Crucible of Life written by Thomas Kent Miller and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Ethiopia and beyond, Sherlock Holmes encounters both the hideous and the divine, ripping asunder the fragile veil separating us from worlds unknown-all while in the company of the renowned Allan Quatermain. The last of Allan Quatermain's true African adventures to appear, The Treasure of the Lake, was published nearly a century ago in 1926. Those who lusted to vicariously accompany Quatermain on new perilous treks into the vast reaches of the "Dark Continent" (as they had done to King Solomon's Mines) had no choice but to remain disappointed. UNTIL NOW! Recently found amongst some obscure papers at Brown University, this new manuscript chronicles a complex and inspired quest headed by Quatermain deep into the earthquake- and volcano-ripped Danakil Desert of Ethiopia in 1872 accompanied by his devoted aide-de-camp Hans and a host of the nineteenth century's most prodigious luminaries, including astronomer Maria Mitchell, volcanologist Axel Lindenbrock, and Gunnery Sergeants Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnehan. Along the way, this ragtag troop is brutally attacked in the desert by its trophy-hunting denizens, and then they discover a 2,000-year-old lost city. Yet Holmes' and Quatermain’s quest is not merely one of surviving in Ethiopia’s beautiful yet tortuous landscapes; they must confront horror and overcome it. As the tale unfolds, readers will be swallowed by a maelstrom of concepts, relentlessly pulled headlong, descending into a scholarly labyrinth of interwoven writings. In point of fact, Quatermain encounters no less than the very essence of the meaning of life, which he then discounts as a wizard's trick!
