Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of a Christian The name thus given to the followers of Christ is significant for many reasons. The question has been raised in some quarters as to whether religion is dogma or life. In fact, our religion in the last reduction is neither dogma nor life; it is a Way from Sin into the Kingdom of God. Its bed-rock is truth, its pavement is character, its destination is eternal life. It is a plain Way; as indicated in the prophecy, A highway Shall be there and a way, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the wayfaring man, though a fool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Evolution: Modern Problems of the Faith Christian Faith. Although, therefore, a general agreement will be found to exist throughout the series, one or two of the writers have made no secret of their holding a much more limited view of the scope and character of Evolution than that represented by the rest. Should exception be taken to this circumstance, we would respectfully submit, that in the settlement of great vital questions it must tend in a much higher degree to healthy, thorough, and impartial discussion when debaters are left perfectly free in every thing save the essentials of the point at issue. In the hope that the following pages may be found helpful by many whose spirits are shadowed by the scepticism of the age, we now commit them.

Download or read book Evolution and Christian Faith written by Joan Roughgarden and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Click here to visit evolutionandchristianfaith.org "I'm an evolutionary biologist and a Christian," states Stanford professor Joan Roughgarden at the outset of her groundbreaking new book, Evolution and Christian Faith: Reflections of an Evolutionary Biologist. From that perspective, she offers an elegant, deeply satisfying reconciliation of the theory of evolution and the wisdom of the Bible. Perhaps only someone with Roughgarden's unique academic standing could examine so well controversial issues such as the teaching of intelligent design in public schools, or the potential flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution. Certainly Roughgarden is uniquely suited to reference both the minutiae of scientific processes and the implication of Biblical verses. Whether the topic is mutation rates and lizards or the hidden meanings behind St. Paul's letters, Evolution and Christian Faith distils complex arguments into everyday understanding. Roughgarden has scoured the Bible and scanned the natural world, finding examples time and again, not of conflict, but of harmony. The result is an accessible and intelligent context for a Christian vision of the world that embraces science. In the ongoing debates over creationism and evolution, Evolution and Christian Faith will be seen as a work of major significance, written for contemporary readers who wonder how-or if-they can embrace scientific advances while maintaining their traditional values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution in Christian Doctrine It is not easy to find a name for the modern broad school in the Church. The term liberal has predominantly a political meaning. The term broad may indicate mere laxity and indifference. I have decided boldly to adopt the term Modernist. It also is unsatisfactory, for what is modem is by no means always in the line of progress. And the Roman Curia has attached the term Modernist to a circle of beliefs which seldom if ever was found in the mind of a single thinker: it has created a sort of clothes-horse, on which to hang any views which it regards as dangerous. But we must reflect that nearly all party names were originally the invention of enemies, including even the name Christian; and we may hope to rescue the term Modernist from ignoble use.

Download or read book The Evolution of the New Testament Classic Reprint written by John Elliotson Symes and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the New Testament The little volume which we call the New Testament has had more influence on the world than the whole literature of England or France. It consists of twenty-seven books, written eighteen centuries ago, in a degenerate form of Greek, by authors of Jewish race and scanty learning. Nevertheless, millions of persons still turn to the New Testament for guidance and for consolation. Such persons should surely wish to know in what order and in what circumstances these twenty-seven books were written; how many of them may be assigned to their traditional authors; what motives animated these men; whether any of the books are compilations from earlier documents; and how they came to occupy their unique position among Christian writings. Such questions will also interest, if to a less degree, those who reject Christianity, but are yet too wise to neglect or despise a literature merely because they do not share the views which it expresses. Moreover, we have here to do with a literature which has been the textbook of that religion on which modern civilization has to a great extent been built up, a religion which remains to-day one of the greatest of living forces. Many of the critics who in modern times have thrown light on the New Testament have themselves been unbelievers; but they have realized that the subject is one of profound interest and importance, and they have devoted immense learning and ability to its elucidation. Forty years ago some of these critics attributed most of the New Testament books to unknown writers of the second century, but it is now generally agreed that this attribution was based on insufficient grounds.

This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Man and Christianity First. It has been repeatedly asserted that I reject the Incarnation or the Divinity of Christ. This is false.viii evolution OF man and christianity. I accept the Catholic doctrine of the Incarnation as set forth in our Second Article of Religion. As more fully explained in the chapter on Miracles, the birth and char acter of our Lord are two distinct questions, and one may accept His divinity even if he believe that He had an earthly father - Joseph. Further: One may believe Ilis birth to have been truly miraculous - that is, the result of a special operation of the Divine Will - and yet hold that this birth occurred along the lines of natural generation. In other words, the divinity of Christ depends upon the essential relation of the hu man and divine spiritual elements in Him, not upon the mode of His birth. He may have been born in the ordinary way, while His (human) spirit was specially begotten of God the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, working through the media of a man and woman. At any rate, I believe that in Christ dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (col., ii, which influx of Deity into Humanity was due to a special operation of God's Will acting along the line of ordinary generation. It has also been asserted that I reject the resurrection of Christ. I do attach little importance to the details of His bodily resurrection as given in the Gospels, because I consider these documents of too uncertain authorship to allow of attaching much importance to their details but I accept the resurrection or manifestation of Christ after death in a spiritual body, as spoken of by St. Paul in First Corinthians, xv; and this is the doctrine of the Episcopal Church, as set forth in her burial service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Early Christianity: A Genetic Study of First-Century Christianity in Relation to Its Religious Environment Of Christian origins must first orient himself in the life of the times, if he would understand the genesis of the new religion as well as the literature it produced. The possibility of obtaining this orientation has greatly increased in recent years. Much help may now be derived from the historical study of religions as a whole, which supplies certain broad principles capable of general application. These results emphasize the necessity of taking account of psychological processes in the rise and development of all religions, and they make clear the importance of social and cultural forces for the determination of religious phenomena. But more immediate help comes from Observing the actual historical situation in which the early Christians lived. Within the last half-century various scholars have devoted themselves to the study of later Judaism, with the result that the historian can now know, for the most part, the actual religious situation which conditioned the lives of the first disciples on Jewish soil.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution and Modern Thought Like all great movements of the human spirit, Christianity also shares this inborn confidence in its authorized standard, thought to be handed down from above. This excuse in defense of Christian religion has ever firmly knit together this confidence by the blank unmeditated opposition of Christianity to all that is non-christian, depreciating the latter to a homogeneous mass of human error, and vice, ex alting the former to immediate divine dignity, accredited as such by outer and inner miracle, as will be shown in this book. The old position held by all Christians in all ages, is that all ecclesiastical history presents absolute truth, proved to be such, because miraculously authenticated to be due to divine communication.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ascent Through Christ: A Study of the Doctrine of Redemption in the Light of the Theory of Evolution Nor yet an attempt to reconstruct the whole contents of the Christian Faith on an Evolutionary basis. It is, as the sub-title suggests, a study of certain Spiritual facts, which cluster round the Mystery of Divine Redemption, viewed in the light of that great principle of Development which has taken posses sion of the mind of to-day, and which seems destined, in its broader aspects, permanently to affect human thought in all its departments. These facts are, Sin and its correlative theory of the Fall of Man; the Person of Christ, His atoning death and Resur rection, and the New Life in Him, which embodies the highest moral and spiritual evolution of human character, and which is the Christian's surest ground for believing in a blessed Immortality; together with such subsidiary problems as radiate from these focal centres.
