This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of the Spirit, in Modern Life The main purpose is practical. It is hoped that this study of the subject will foster the type of religion for which it pleads. For the writer sincerely believes that there is a deep um der current of religious life in our age, a religious tendency actively seeking the modes of inter pretation and expression here advocated. Hence several of the chapters have been made partly dc votional in form, with the h0pe that they will be employed as aids to realisation and service. For this reason, also, much stress is put upon inner attitudes, with inner peace as the immediate goal in view, and eficient consciousness as the result. The inner centre or heart is emphasised even at the risk of seeming to neglect the social bearings of the religious life; since all spiritual growth of the profounder sort must begin within. Special ap peal is made to those who, dissatisfied with doc trines and religious institutions, still devoutly believe in the essentials of the spiritual life. Hence the style has been made somewhat general, and as untechnical as possible. Again, the book is constructive, not critical, save so far as every one must criticise who dwells upon the life rather than the doctrine. The book is primarily intended for those who are working their way into a larger, stronger, and more spiritual type of faith.

Download or read book The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today Classic Reprint written by Evelyn Underhill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evelyn Underhill was a renowned pacifist and Christian mystic. Her writings on religion were famous in her day and still resonate right up to the present. This book was drawn and expanded from some talks Underhill gave in Oxford, in which she attempted to link psychology and spirituality. She also discusses the place of institutional religion and of spirituality in the context of wider society. As elsewhere in her writings she emphasises the wonder of incarnation and life. The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today is certainly recommended for fans of Underhill, but any religious individual will find resonance in her writing and should certainly take the time to explore why she was so influential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ministry of the Spirit Christianity is beset with three powerful cur rents, which insidiously Operate to deflect her from her course. Materialism, which denies or ignores the supernatural, and concentrates its heed on ameliorating the outward conditions of human life; criticism, which is clever at analysis and dissection, but cannot construct a foundation on which the religious faculty may build and rest; and a fine literary taste, which has greatly developed of late, and is disposed to judge of power by force of words or by delicacy of expression.

Download or read book The Spirit in the New Testament Classic Reprint written by Ernest Findlay Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit in the New Testament NO doctrine has proved so fruitful in modern Christianity as that of the Spirit. During the last century, and more especially in our own generation, the social order has undergone profound changes; our knowledge of nature and of the process of human development has been immensely widened; the documents of the faith have been subjected to critical inquiry, with the result that many of the old assumptions have given way. If our religion has been able to maintain itself under the altered conditions this has been chiefly due to the doctrine of the Spirit which it has inherited from the early church. The disciples believed that along with his message Jesus had imparted the revealing and life-giving Spirit. His Gospel was not bound to a fixed tradition but was capable of endless growth and self-renewal. It could take into itself new elements, and keep pace with the world's movement, and appeal with a fresh meaning to every age. This great conception was long obscured under the various authoritative creeds, but is now finding its rightful place. Teachers of every school are guided by it more and more in their interpretation of the Christian message.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spirit and Life: Thoughts for to-Day The most important of experiences is that which leads to a rational and credible idea of God. This cannot be taught in the schools. N 0 man or body of men have authority to delineate it; the largest and noblest conception Of the Deity ever possessed, even though imparted by revelation, has been at the best but a broken light. And yet, on clear views of God hang the glory and usefulness Of human life. If there is no God, there is no hope, life is a dream, and he is happiest who knows no waking. If God exists but has no care for men, or is interested only in the universe and not in individuals, then for us it were as well if there were no God.

Download or read book Religion and Life Classic Reprint written by James Reed and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and Life Religion has relation to life, and is inseparable from it. The word is derived from a Latin word which means to bind back. The primary and all important idea expressed in it is that of binding, of Obligation and accountability to a higher and anterior power. The truly religious man feels re sponsibilities of which others know nothing. He is conscious of having bound himself to a better life, and a nobler service, than any which the world can offer him. In a word, he has undertaken to act in all things not from himself, but from God, -to do, not his own selfish pleasure, but his Heavenly Father's will. He feels his own need of the Divine Presence. To him it is not enough to understand and believe. He must worship. He must bow down in prayer. He must establish and feel a personal relationship between himself and God. He must go to the Lord in a devout and humble Spirit, trying to come under the Divine influence, in order that his life may grow into accord with the Divine life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World of Matter and the Spirit of Man: Latest Discourse of Religion These sermons indicate clearly the remarkable de gree to which Parker kept abreast of the growing knowledge and thought of his day, and even much in advance of them. He welcomed every phase of the scientific advance being made around him, and he hailed with enthusiasm the labors of Darwin, which came im perfectly to his knowledge in the last months of his life. No theist of 1858 could have anticipated more completely than he the reconstruction of theological opinions resulting from the theory of evolution. I may venture to think that nothing has yet been written which shows so complete an acceptance of man's relations to the universe, and yet so profound a piety, as some of the sermons contained in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on the Christian Spirit and Life Is there a business-man, Of whatever religious repute in his sectarian or theological circle, with his name standing however high on the roll Of believ ers or saints, who yet regards his religion like his Sunday garment, as a thing to be left out Of his shop or counting-room, lest it be soiled there in the rough hands Of the world? There will be a littleness and disingenuousness in that man's secular proceedings, exposing him, if not, alas the religion he professes, to contempt. Religion is not so dainty about herself as this sub scriber of her creeds, and Observer Of her forms, is about her. She is ready to go, with the whole power and splendor Of her celestial presence, into the com monest scenes, for the adjustment Of the humblest matters. This separation Of religion and business is no fiction, or supposed case for the sake Of argument and moving I have known one in the very heat of religious enthusiasm, and with the most sacred names upon his lips, defraud a poor woman in the performance of a stipulated service, without seeming to imagine there was any inconsistency.

Download or read book This Life written by Martin Hägglund and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the René Wellek Prize Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, The Millions, and The Sydney Morning Herald This Life offers a profoundly inspiring basis for transforming our lives, demonstrating that our commitment to freedom and democracy should lead us beyond both religion and capitalism. Philosopher Martin Hägglund argues that we need to cultivate not a religious faith in eternity but a secular faith devoted to our finite life together. He shows that all spiritual questions of freedom are inseparable from economic and material conditions: what matters is how we treat one another in this life and what we do with our time. Engaging with great philosophers from Aristotle to Hegel and Marx, literary writers from Dante to Proust and Knausgaard, political economists from Mill to Keynes and Hayek, and religious thinkers from Augustine to Kierkegaard and Martin Luther King, Jr., Hägglund points the way to an emancipated life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Spirit of True Religion There are in our country, at the present moment, a great many devotedly religious persons, who are very ex elusive In their religious Views; and their numbers are daily increasing. There are also a great many others who have no toleration for these exclusives. Thus, ex elusiveness on the one hand, is met by intolerance on the other. Coldness, or else mutual recrimination follows. And very many who are noted by the world for their re ligiousness, exhibit to the world, instead of the fruits of the Spirit, only unsocial feelings, or angry passions. In stead of love, joy, peace, long - suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 'meekness, they exhibit moroseness, contention, haste, anger, in a word, all the Opposites of the Christian graces.

Download or read book The Harmony of Divine Truth Classic Reprint written by Seth Williston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Harmony of Divine Truth How it can be accounted for, that the term truth should have been selected by the inspired writers, (or rather by the Spirit of inspiration.) to distinguish the religion which they exhibit, from every other system in the world, if at the same time they had considered it as a mere moral chaos, made for our plastic hands to mould and shape into such creeds as should please every man's own fancy? It is worthy to be noted that the sacred volume makes a very copious* use of this term, applying it to every department Of religion. For itself, as an inspired book, it claims the honor of being called the scripture of truth, and the word of truth. Dan. X. 21. Eph. I. 13. Is not the Bible thus manifestly distinguished from the Koran of the Mahometan's, and the Shasters of the Brahmins, and from every other book which sets up a claim to inspiration? The God of the Bible is called the true God, his beloved Son is called the true Witness, and his Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth and why, except to distinguish Jehovah from idols, his Son from false Christs, and the Holy Ghost from Satan, and every other lying spirit? The doctrines we are required to believe, are denominated the truth, to distinguish them from the doctrines of devils, and from delusive errors of every kind; and the belief of these doctrines, when it is wrought in our hearts by the Spirit of God, is said to be truth and no lie, to distinguish it from a false faith which does not work by love. Also, that conduct which is required by the divine law, and which is the external expression of a heart conformed to it, is called obeying the truth. 1 Tim. Ii. 4. 1 John ii. 27. 2 John 4. The church of the living God, when considered as a community, composed Of men redeemed from iniquity, is called the pillar and ground Of the truth. 1 Tim. Iii. 15. See also Isa. Xxvi. 2. What an importance does it give to religious truth when we hear Christ Jesus witnessing this good confession before Pontius Pilate! TO this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. John xviii. 37. Surely that must be a thing of no small consequence, the establishment of which was the end of our Redeemer's birth, and the sole cause why he came into the world.
