Download or read book God and the Creative Imagination written by Paul Avis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A mere metaphor', 'only symbolic', 'just a myth' - these tell tale phrases reveal how figurative language has been cheapened and devalued in our modern and postmodern culture. In God and the Creative Imagination, Paul Avis argues the contrary: we see that actually, metaphor, symbol and myth, are the key to a real knowledge of God and the sacred. Avis examines what he calls an alternative tradition, stemming from the Romantic poets Blake, Wordsworth and Keats and drawing on the thought of Cleridge and Newman, and experience in both modern philosophy and science. God and the Creative Imagination intriguingly draws on a number of non-theological disciplines, from literature to philosophy of science, to show us that God is appropriately likened to an artist or poet and that the greatest truths are expressed in an imaginative form. Anyone wishing to further their understanding of God, belief and the imagination will find this an inspiring work.
Download or read book The Influence of the Imagination on the Knowledge of God written by Robert Colacurcio and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most adult believers would acknowledge that the absolute reality of God is unimaginable, and yet the ordinary mind cannot think about divinity without creating images of that reality. This book explores a variety of ways in which our imagination influences what we believe and think we know about God. Even as some theories and the methods behind them yield better results in practice, so certain forms of the imagination yield a truer connection to the divine. Curiously, cutting-edge scienceoften viewed as inimical to engagement with the divineis itself creating new images for a conception of divinity that intimately penetrates all that is. Frontier cutting-edge science will thus become one of three interpenetrating streams that impact the influence of the imagination on the knowledge of God. The other two are the conceptual dimension of mind and what I distinguish as the awareness dimension of mind. The application of my theory about the influence of the imagination on the knowledge of God is whether the reader can make practical connections to their experience of suffering in the world and find some diminishment of that suffering. If that does not happen, I apologize to my readers for wasting their time.

Download or read book The Role of Contradictions in Spinoza s Philosophy written by Yuval Jobani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spinoza is commonly perceived as the great metaphysician of coherence. The Euclidean manner in which he presented his philosophy in the Ethics has led readers to assume they are facing a strict and consistent philosophical system that necessarily follows from itself. As opposed to the prevailing understanding of Spinoza and his work, The Role of Contradictions in Spinoza's Philosophy explores an array of profound and pervasive contradictions in Spinoza’s system and argues they are deliberate and constitutive of his philosophical thinking and the notion of God at its heart. Relying on a meticulous and careful reading of the Theological-Political Treatise and the Ethics, this book reconstructs Spinoza's philosophy of contradictions as a key to the ascending three degrees of knowledge leading to the Amor intellectualis Dei. Offering an exciting and clearly-argued interpretation of Spinoza’s philosophy, this book will interest students and scholars of modern philosophy and philosophy of religion, as well as Jewish studies. Yuval Jobani is Assistant Professor at the Department of Hebrew Culture Studies and the School of Education at Tel-Aviv University.

Download or read book Discovering the God Imagination written by Jonathan Brink and published by . This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep inside you always knew it was there, that image of God drawing you in to healing, restoration, hope and even love. You wanted it to be true. You couldn't ignore it, even though you weren't sure it was true. Yet finding that image in Scripture is often hard. It's easy to see God as angry and bent on catching us when we fail. What if the story the Bible could actually reinforce what your heart longed to be true? What if the story was actually about God's relentless pursuit of the restoration of all creation, of you? You just needed help seeing it. In this re-examination of the story of Christianity, author Jonathan Brink offers a compelling look into the remarkable dissonance between our historical understanding of Gospel, and what the story in Scripture actually reveals. It offers a compelling possibility for those looking to reconstruct their faith in a whole new way. Discovering The God Imagination examines the details of the story that shapes our understanding of the Gospel, in light of our emerging understanding of cognitive development. It suggests a profoundly simple but provocative assessment of why we misunderstand God, ourselves and each other. Listening to the story once again allows us to unravel the mystery of suffering, justice, and reconciliation, and actually participate with God in our own restoration. It suggests that at the deepest levels, life is really about wrestling with and answering a single root question, symbolized in the Tree of Knowledge? How can God love me when I'm broken? Finally, it offers new insights that suggest the cross is God saying, "This is how far I will go to show you that you that I love you." It suggests the Way of love espoused by Jesus is actually a return to reality, to God's original, objective structure for what it means to be human.

Download or read book Beyond Our Imaginations The Infinite God written by Mark Lawrence and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With our world getting sicker and the days getting darker, what and where can we find the substance of our faith? What will guide us in troubled times when we are more concerned with the pleasures and the minutia of our daily lives? With the watering down of the Word of God into today's pop messages to please the ear, it's no wonder the people starve spiritually when even the milk of the Gospel is gone. Herein, the author attempts to lure the reader back to the Lord's table-to sup the wine, to break the bread, to consider what is the food of our Lord that we may spiritually be fed and grow into eternal life instead of the fast food of man hurriedly eaten to starve our souls toward an early death. This is one man's journey into the mustard seed of his own faith.
Download or read book The Imagination in Early Modern English Literature written by Deanna Smid and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Imagination in Early Modern English Literature, Deanna Smid presents a literary, historical account of imagination in early modern English literature, paying special attention to its effects on the body, to its influence on women, to its restraint by reason, and to its ability to create novelty. An early modern definition of imagination emerges in the work of Robert Burton, Francis Bacon, Edward Reynolds, and Margaret Cavendish. Smid explores a variety of literary texts, from Thomas Nashe’s The Unfortunate Traveler to Francis Quarles’s Emblems, to demonstrate the literary consequences of the early modern imagination. The Imagination in Early Modern English Literature insists that, if we are to call an early modern text “imaginative,” we must recognize the unique characteristics of early modern English imagination, in all its complexity.

Sample Book Insights: #1 I am the eternal No-thingness that contains within itself the capacity to be all things. I am the law of being and there is no law beside me. I am that I am. #2 The Bible is a great psychological drama that reveals the consciousness of man. When man understands that his awareness of being is God, he will realize that his unconditioned awareness of being is greater than his conditioned state or his conception of himself. #3 The law of consciousness is the only law of expression. You must become conscious of being a thing and express or possess that which you are conscious of being. Turn from the blindness of the uninitiated man who attempts to express and possess those qualities and things which he is not conscious of being and possessing. #4 The truth that sets you free is the knowledge that your consciousness is the resurrection and the life, that your consciousness both resurrects and makes alive all that you are conscious of being. Apart from consciousness there is neither resurrection nor life.
