Download or read book The Changing Face of God written by Frederick W. Schmidt and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2000-06 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Does the face of God change? Years ago I would have said, 'No.' Countless hymns, passage of Scripture and confessions of faith assert or imply the changelessness of God. To take issue with traditions that are centuries, if not millennia old, seemed to be daunting and misguided....But when the great professions of confidence in God harden into philosophical propositions, one is bound to ask: What difference would it make to say that God has only one face? Even if true in some sense, the fact of the matter is that features each of us would count as necessary and changeless would be a matter of considerable debate." - From the Introduction In 1998/99 five scholars presented lectures at Washington National Cathedral about our images of God and what difference they make. This book, and its companion videos, will allow parish study groups and individuals to consider and discuss the viewpoints of Marcus Borg, Karen Armstrong, Jack Miles, James Cone, and Andrew Sung Park.

Download or read book The Face of God written by Roger Scruton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Scruton explores the place of God in a disenchanted world. His argument is a response to the atheist culture that is now growing around us, and also a defence of human uniqueness. He rebuts the claim that there is no meaning or purpose in the natural world, and argues that the sacred and the transcendental are 'real presences', through which human beings come to know themselves and to find both their freedom and their redemption. In the human face we find a paradigm of meaning. And from this experience, Scruton argues, we both construct the face of the world, and address the face of God. We find in the face both the proof of our freedom and the mark of self-consciousness. One of the motivations of the atheist culture is to escape from the eye of judgement. You escape from the eye of judgement by blotting out the face: and this, Scruton argues, is the most disturbing aspect of the times in which we live. In his wide-ranging argument Scruton explains the growing sense of destruction that we feel, as the habits of pleasure seeking and consumerism deface the world. His book defends a consecrated world against the habit of desecration, and offers a vision of the religious way of life in a time of trial.

All of us would like life to be smooth with no upheavals. But the fact is that our lives are anything but. Our lives are full of upheaval, for that is life as we are given it. Gire looks at the beauty that is the result of these upheavals.

Many years have passed since three warriors brought carnage and chaos to Silver Lake. Now the tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. The town has recovered and yet the legacy remains. Responding to reports of a growing unease among the tribes beyond the border, the Malazan army marches on the new god’s people. They aren't quite sure what they're going to be facing. And in those high mountains, a new warleader has risen amongst the Teblor. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god even if he has to cut a bloody swathe through the Malazan Empire to do so. Further north, a new threat has emerged and now it seems it is the Teblor who are running out of time. Another long-feared migration is about to begin and this time it won't just be three warriors. No, this time tens of thousands are poised to pour into the lands to the south. And in their way, a single company of Malazan marines . . .

Download or read book The Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ written by David K. Bernard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is now a substantial scholarly consensus for the emergence of a high or divine Christology very early and from a Jewish context, but the questions of "how" and "why" need further study. Within the framework of traditional Jewish monotheism, Paul and other early Christians used the language of deity to describe Jesus. To investigate their view of Jesus, the author examines Paul's discourse in 2 Cor 3:16–4:6, employing insights from rhetorical criticism and Oneness Pentecostal Christology. He explains how early Christians proclaimed the deity of Jesus within their monotheistic Jewish context. He then identifies socio-rhetorical reasons for and practical consequences of the monotheistic deification of Jesus.

Download or read book Oh Hey God written by Isaac Lightfoot and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric was just a regular guy. He'd had ups and downs in life and spirituality. Flawed but not so much that you'd know it from the outside. The obvious cracks in his armor-single, divorced dad, living with his fiancée-were low-hanging fruit, and of course they didn't look great. His family and friends know him as a man that had been brought up in church though and knew who God was. Even though his life had taken twists and turns to and from his faith, he'd always held on to his core beliefs. On a cold night in November, he found himself in the company of a mixed group of strangers and in the unenviable position of explaining his life and faith (as twisted as both of those seemed to be) to their skeptical ears. Sit in on the improbable but captivating details of that night and how Eric ended up in that home on the north side of Chicago.

Download or read book Man Seeks God written by Eric Weiner and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author of Geography of Bliss returns with this funny, illuminating chronicle of a globe-spanning spiritual quest to find a faith that fits. When a health scare puts him in the hospital, Eric Weiner-an agnostic by default-finds himself tangling with an unexpected question, posed to him by a well-meaning nurse. "Have you found your God yet?" The thought of it nags him, and prods him-and ultimately launches him on a far-flung journey to do just that. Weiner, a longtime "spiritual voyeur" and inveterate traveler, realizes that while he has been privy to a wide range of religious practices, he's never seriously considered these concepts in his own life. Face to face with his own mortality, and spurred on by the question of what spiritual principles to impart to his young daughter, he decides to correct this omission, undertaking a worldwide exploration of religions and hoping to come, if he can, to a personal understanding of the divine. The journey that results is rich in insight, humor, and heart. Willing to do anything to better understand faith, and to find the god or gods that speak to him, he travels to Nepal, where he meditates with Tibetan lamas and a guy named Wayne. He sojourns to Turkey, where he whirls (not so well, as it turns out) with Sufi dervishes. He heads to China, where he attempts to unblock his chi; to Israel, where he studies Kabbalah, sans Madonna; and to Las Vegas, where he has a close encounter with Raelians (followers of the world's largest UFO-based religion). At each stop along the way, Weiner tackles our most pressing spiritual questions: Where do we come from? What happens when we die? How should we live our lives? Where do all the missing socks go? With his trademark wit and warmth, he leaves no stone unturned. At a time when more Americans than ever are choosing a new faith, and when spiritual questions loom large in the modern age, Man Seeks God presents a perspective on religion that is sure to delight, inspire, and entertain.

Download or read book Neighborliness written by David Docusen and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to love your neighbor as yourself but don’t know where to start? This practical, accessible guide to bridging the dividing lines of politics, race, and economics, both individually and as the church, will help you amplify Jesus in your community and build God’s kingdom. When asked what the greatest commandment is, Jesus gave a two-part answer: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” and also “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love God. Love others. Jesus’ simple command to love your neighbor can feel overwhelming when your neighbor looks, lives, and votes differently than you do. Racial and economic tensions across the country have resulted in deep dividing lines that seem really intimidating to cross. Docusen breaks down these lines in approachable chapters, including topics like these: how to actively seek out people you can benefit and encourage, what it means to find a diverse and supportive community that fulfills needs, examples of real-life experiences, including highlights and missteps of Docusen’s ongoing journey, and how churches can teach on difficult topics with grace and truth. Neighborliness is a practical guide to bridging those dividing lines and learning to recognize and amplify the beauty of God in our communities. Backed by David’s speaking and training through the Neighborliness Center, this book will help individuals and churches reach out to their neighbors, love them through Christ, and build God’s kingdom.
Download or read book Turning God s Face written by Steve Dragert and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fr. Tom Kennedy's first experience with something totally out of the norm is when he hears the confession of a small boy who scares the priest with his evil description of something he has done and for which he has no remorse. The Nazarene woman approaches a school board meeting for the purpose of lodging a complaint against their removal of all books relating in any way to Christianity. What she encounters at the meeting is our first look at the power of Satan unchecked. A number of other individuals find disturbing human actions and nature gone wrong. What has caused the garden, belonging to Fr. Tom's mother, to rot into plastic-type vegetation? What is behind the riots within the small community where they live? What is the cause of the mysterious behavior the non-believer finds in the wilderness of northern Minnesota? Why is the disturbing prayer life and extreme difficulty with dreams from all the individuals we meet so much of a concern to not only the ones suffering but to us the readers? Fr. Tom and another priest friend call a meeting of all the individuals we know and some we will get to know at this meeting. The purpose of this get-together is to determine the cause of these common effects on the lives of so many different people from different backgrounds and different faiths. The meeting becomes a place where all the concerns are voiced and all the sufferings are exposed. A possible reason for the commonalities is shared and agreed upon by all the attendees. How do we, God's people, face this problem that eventually takes Fr. Tom all the way from his bishop to Rome? Fr. Tom receives some heavenly help in solving this problem as he takes steps to engage the path that he has been directed.
