Download or read book Reason and Revelation written by Byron Belitsos and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2024-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proponents of the UB are overdue for serious dialogue with the intelligentsia of our society, including the academic community. This introductory anthology builds bridges to these serious thinkers, especially those unfamiliar with The Urantia Book. It is suitable for those with research interest in religious studies, philosophy, theology, history, and general humanities. This anthology provides the highest quality research essays about The Urantia Book (UB) in one standalone introductory volume. Aside from their high quality of writing, these materials have been selected for three reasons: They showcase genuine scholarship and deep research on The Urantia Book These essays bridge to contemporary knowledge outside the UB Each piece is suitable for readers new the Urantia text. Adherents of the UB are long overdue for serious dialogue with the academic community as well as with the intelligentsia of our society, most of whom are unfamiliar with The Urantia Book. In addition to introducing the UB to academics, thought leaders, and cultural influencers, Reason and Revelation is also designed as an introductory textbook for use in university classrooms, especially in fields such as religious studies, philosophy, theology, history, and general humanities. Like the Urantia revelation itself, this anthology is holistic and interdisciplinary. However, it does not provide essays on the social and natural sciences; these topics will be covered in a future volume. Reason and Revelation is divided into four parts: I. General Studies II. Origin and Influence Studies III. Religion, Ethics, and Spirituality IV. Philosophy and Theology Because no prior knowledge of the UB is required, Part I provides a beginner's orientation. The later sections further introduce UB teachings on more specific topics, building upon this earlier section. Most but not all of these later essays are chosen because they are comparative--they assess the UB's teachings in relation to the contemporary academic understanding of the chosen topic. Several chapters simply provide studies of key topics at academic depth. To further aid readers, the anthology provides an extensive glossary, appendices, charts, and an index.
Download or read book The Whistling Galilean written by Jennifer Bjork and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shai, the ten-year-old son of a Galilean fisherman, deeply desires his father’s pride and respect. The frustrated, sometimes angry, boy is challenged by jealousy and competes for attention from a blood relative, his older brother, Ezra. Maturing into adolescence, Shai and his best friend each seek a girlfriend, even doing something ridiculous to gain their attention. Brutality surrounds Shai, ranging from a school bully to Roman torture. The term ‘payment or punishment’ spreads quickly as the unyielding Roman rulers enforce market taxes in Capernaum. Everything is about to change when Shai befriends a stranger from Nazareth one day while bathing in the waters of the Galilee. While his rabbi teaches him to become a man and to abide by Hebrew laws, Yeshua (Jesus) teaches loving care through action. Confused, Shai is faced with conflicting choices, one after another. As Yeshua reveals his power and destiny, people in Shai’s life react differently to his friend’s messages. Shai’s relationships evolve and change as his choices transform not just his life, but also the lives of others.
Download or read book Zealot written by Reza Aslan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A lucid, intelligent page-turner” (Los Angeles Times) that challenges long-held assumptions about Jesus, from the host of Believer Two thousand years ago, an itinerant Jewish preacher walked across the Galilee, gathering followers to establish what he called the “Kingdom of God.” The revolutionary movement he launched was so threatening to the established order that he was executed as a state criminal. Within decades after his death, his followers would call him God. Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history’s most enigmatic figures by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived. Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Aslan describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction. He explores the reasons the early Christian church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary. And he grapples with the riddle of how Jesus understood himself, the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequent claims about his divinity. Zealot yields a fresh perspective on one of the greatest stories ever told even as it affirms the radical and transformative nature of Jesus’ life and mission. Praise for Zealot “Riveting . . . Aslan synthesizes Scripture and scholarship to create an original account.”—The New Yorker “Fascinatingly and convincingly drawn . . . Aslan may come as close as one can to respecting those who revere Jesus as the peace-loving, turn-the-other-cheek, true son of God depicted in modern Christianity, even as he knocks down that image.”—The Seattle Times “[Aslan’s] literary talent is as essential to the effect of Zealot as are his scholarly and journalistic chops. . . . A vivid, persuasive portrait.”—Salon “This tough-minded, deeply political book does full justice to the real Jesus, and honors him in the process.”—San Francisco Chronicle “A special and revealing work, one that believer and skeptic alike will find surprising, engaging, and original.”—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power “Compulsively readable . . . This superb work is highly recommended.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
