Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Attributes Including Also the Divine Trinity: A Treatise on the Divine Love and Wisdom and Correspondence The first and primary thought, which opens heaven to man, is thought concerning God; the reason is, be cause God is the All of heaven, insomuch that whether we speak of heaven or of God it is the same thing; the divine (principles) which make the angels, of whom heaven consists, to be angels, taken together, are God; and hence it is, that thought concerning God is the first and primary of all thoughts which open heaven to man, for it is the head and sun of all truths and loves celestial and spiritual. But there is given the thought of light and there is given the thought of love; the thought of light alone being the knowledge that God is, which appears as acknowledgment, but still is not so. By the thought of light man hath presence in heaven, but not conjunction with heaven: for the light of thought alone, doth not conjoin, but exhibits man present to the Lord and to the angels, inasmuch as that light is like winter-light, in which man sees with equal clearness as in summer-light, but which nevertheless doth not conjoin itself to the earth, nor to any tree, shrub, flower, orgrass.

Download or read book Act and Being written by Colin E. Gunton and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After two thousand years of discussion there seems to be little clarity about what God is. In Act and Being a leading Christian theologian explores the defining characteristics of deity. Bringing a unique combination of theology and philosophy to bear on this central question in Christian thought, Colin Gunton examines past attempts to unpack the nature of God and offers a new, intellectually stimulating portrait of the divine being. In the course of his book Gunton discusses the adequacy of theological language, compares the Greek and Hebrew views of divinity, and shows the difference that the concept of Trinity makes to our understanding of the divine attributes. The result is the most complete and coherent picture of God to be published in recent times.
Download or read book The Divine Trinity written by David Brown and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first serious analysis of the doctrine of the Trinity for many years, presents a defense against the conservative treatment of the Trinity as an impenetrable "mystery," and against the radical position that the doctrine is incoherent and therefore unacceptable. Brown favors "the founding of a new discipline of philosophical theology (or the widening of the horizons of the philosophy of religion) to apply more widely the type of penetration of theology by philosophy" that he exemplifies in his treatment of the Trinity. He argues for belief in an interventionist God (theism rather than deism), and contends that biblical criticism and historical research do not imply the abandonment of Christian belief, since "the historical original" should not be equated with "theological truth." Although historical difficulties must prevent any literal acceptance of the Gospel accounts in toto, "the true Christ" can be disentangled from "the historical Jesus" by philosophical method. Wide-ranging in scope, rigorous and candid in argument, Brown's work will prove of interest to educated Christian laypersons and others beyond the boundaries of professional theology and philosophy of religion. Perhaps most provocative is Brown's assertion that the Resurrection must be accepted as a literally true visionary experience, and that anyone who accepts it must be prepared to take seriously other visionary experiences, for example, visions of the Virgin Mary, even if he rejects them in the end. "It is certainly an astonishing truth that God should be so interested in a being of such vastly inferior powers as man," says the author. "But that clearly must be the implication of the doctrine of the Trinity . . ." To have reached this conclusion by means of philosophical argument is to have taken a major step toward the "complete penetration of theology by philosophy" that Brown calls for.

Download or read book God With Us and Without Us Volumes One and Two written by Imad N. Shehadeh and published by Langham Global Library. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God as Trinity is at the core of the mystery and otherness of the divine nature of God. It has also been a frequent barrier to those who hold to the Absolute Oneness of God. In this combined work Dr Imad Shehadeh demonstrates the inevitability of the Trinity by exposing the conflict that Absolute Oneness faced historically. Dr Shehadeh presents the beautiful logic of the Trinity and explains how the display of God’s attributes in creation derives from the self-sustaining relationships in his triune nature as Father, Spirit and Son. The book climaxes in revealing the transforming power of the Trinity when applied to life. Followers of Christ will find their worship and love of God enhanced through the rich truths this book contains; followers of Islam will find confusion about the Triune God cleared up removing stumbling blocks to understanding the Bible’s message.

Download or read book Divine Simplicity written by Jordan P. Barrett and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divine Simplicity engages recent critics and address one of their major concerns: that the doctrine of divine simplicity is not a biblical teaching. By analyzing the use of Scripture by key theologians from the early church to Karl Barth, Barrett finds that divine simplicity developed in order to respond to theological errors (e.g., Eunomianism) and to avoid misreading Scripture. The volume then explains how divine simplicity can be rearticulated by following a formal analogy from the doctrine of the Trinity in which the divine attributes are identical to the divine essence but are not identical to each other.
Download or read book God With Us and Without Us Volume One written by Imad N. Shehadeh and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revelation of the Trinity establishes that the relationship of the one true God with us springs from the relationship within himself, without us. The Trinity is not a problem to be solved, but a beauty to be discovered. Dr Imad N. Shehadeh uses careful exegetical and theological analysis to explore the presentation of the triune God in Scripture and expertly navigate the reader through the errors and pitfalls regarding the Trinity. This book explains the essential role that the perfect truth of a three-in-one God plays in being able to know God and be sure of his character. Dr Shehadeh doesn’t fear to tread on controversial ground but instead addresses key issues in theology, the study of God, such as the logic of the Trinity, and whether the God of the Bible is the same as the god of other religions. This first of two volumes, is a valuable contribution to the theological academy but also is an accessible guide for anyone to encounter the perfect, holy, triune, God.

Book excerpt: The following dissertation concerning the Trinity, as the reader ought to be informed, has been written in order to guard against the sophistries of those who disdain to begin with faith, and are deceived by a crude and perverse love of reason. Now one class of such men endeavor to transfer to things incorporeal and spiritual the ideas they have formed, whether through experience of the bodily senses, or by natural human wit and diligent quickness, or by the aid of art, from things corporeal; so as to seek to measure and conceive of the former by the latter.
