Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a language of transcendence which does not fall under the well-worn categories of monism, theism, pantheism, biblical or pagan monotheism, personal or tripersonal God, or an impersonal absolute, conceived as immanent and/or transcendent? The present set of studies from different fields of research centers on the question whether it is possible to speak at all of transcendence or a divinity, and if it is, under what limitations does such speech proceed. In current discussion in theology and in philosophy of religion, there is a pervasive awareness that the inherited terms and alternatives, developed in the western tradition, no longer facilitate an adequate understanding of the divine. Increasing familiarity with the languages of ‘immanence’ and ‘transcendence’ (under erasure) in Hindu and Buddhist thought has further jumbled our coordinates, while holding out the promise of a more subtle and vital engagement with the matter itself of religious inquiry. A further long-established distinction, between ‘personal’ and ‘impersonal,’ also takes on rich new hues in Asian contexts, where the very notion of ‘person’ may undergo unsettling critiques. Transgressing the categories of ‘personal’ and ‘impersonal’ points to the mystical depth of religious traditions, emphasizes their openness and reintegrates essential elements of both perspectives. Advancing with curiosity and caution, all the contributors take seriously the diversity of historical religious traditions, while nevertheless searching for a fresh language that may connect these traditions and provide a common ground of understanding.

This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chief object of the pages that follow is to show how the great Christian presuppositions – God, Freedom, Immortality – in their specifically Christian character (including the reality of the Divine Incarnation in Christ and of Grace) can be established on the basis of such a Monistic conception of the world as the facts of Science demand and as Philosophy is feeling after. The subject, however, is not approached from the standpoint of Philosophy, but, rather, objectively – from that of the teaching of Science concerning ourselves in the Universe. The book is written for “the plain man,” and seeks to follow an inductive method and to reach something that shall be, not vague merely, but distinctively Christian. - From the Preface

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Theism and a Spiritual Monism: God, Freedom, and Immorality in View of Monistic Evolution He has sought to lead gradually up to this Spiritual Monism, and to set it forth as clearly as possible. If he has ventured to touch on some aspects of the current Idealistic Philosophy, it is because he believes that its conclusions need to be reached in a more objective and direct manner. To some extent what is attempted is pioneer work, but he has found much help and encourage ment from the writings of Professor Lloyd Morgan, with which he only recently became acquainted. Sir Oliver Lodge - whose interest in the religious problem and contributions towards its solution in harmony with Science are to be warmly welcomed - speaks of any such attempt as is here set forth as a most ambitious one, not likely to be com plete. But he adds the encouraging remark that many may strive to make some contribution towards the great end; and those who think they have a contribution to make, or such a revelation entrusted to them, are bound to express it to the best of their ability, and leave it to their contemporaries and successors to assimilate such portions of it as are true, and to develop it further (life and Matter, p.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Theism and a Spiritual Monism: God, Freedom, and Immorality in View of Monistic Evolution I am thankful for the very kind reception which this book has met with. While far from being indifferent to critical suggestions, I have only been able in this Second Edition to make some minor corrections. I have added one sentence (at the close of the book) expressive of a truth which has deeply impressed me of late, namely, that since God in Himself is Spirit, the full and perfect life towards which we are moving must be that of Spirit. This may, however, manifest or express itself in some corresponding material form and activity, such as we see in the case of the Divine creative Life. It is the purposive expression of the Divine life of Spirit that gives rise to the phenomenal world, and its goal must be the realisation of the idea that originates the movement - in which "matter" is simply instrumental. There are many indications that a Spiritual Monism is being increasingly adopted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Existential Inertia and Classical Theistic Proofs written by Joseph C. Schmid and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically assesses arguments for the existence of the God of classical theism, develops an innovative account of objects’ persistence, and defends new arguments against classical theism. The authors engage the following classical theistic proofs: Aquinas’s First Way, Aquinas’s De Ente argument, and Feser’s Aristotelian, Neo-Platonic, Augustinian, Thomistic, and Rationalist proofs. The authors also provide the first systematic treatment of the ‘existential inertia thesis’. By connecting the thesis to relativity theory and recent developments in the philosophy of physics, and by developing a variety of novel existential-inertia-friendly explanations of persistence, they mount a formidable new case against classical theistic proofs. Finally, they defend new arguments against classical theism based on abstract objects and changing divine knowledge. The text appeals to students, researchers, and others interested in classical theistic proofs, the existence and nature of God, and the ultimate explanations of persistence, change, and contingency.

Download or read book Pantheism written by Michael P. Levine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people who do not believe in God believe that 'everything is God' - that everything is part of an all-inclusive divine unity. In Pantheism, this concept is presented as a legitimate position and its philosophical basis is examined. Michael Levine compares it to theism, and discusses the scope for resolving the problems inherent in theism through pantheism. He also considers the implications of pantheism in terms of practice. This book will appeal to those who study philosophy or theology. It will also be of interest to anyone who does not believe in a personal God, but does have faith in a higher unifying force, and is interested in the justification of this as a legitimate system of thought.
Download or read book The Papers of Martin Luther King Jr Volume II written by Martin Luther King Jr. and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s ideas—his call for racial equality, his faith in the ultimate triumph of justice, his insistence on the power of nonviolence to bring about a major transformation of American society—are as vital and timely as ever. The wealth of his writings, both published and unpublished, are now preserved in this authoritative, chronologically arranged, multi-volume edition. Volume Two begins with King's doctoral work at Boston University and ends with his first year as pastor of the historic Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. It includes papers from his graduate courses and a fully annotated text of his dissertation. There is correspondence with people King knew in his years prior to graduate school and a transcription of the first known recording of a King sermon. We learn, too, that Boston was where King met his future wife, Coretta Scott. Accepting the call to serve Dexter, the young King followed the church's tradition of socially active pastors by becoming involved in voter registration and other social justice issues. In Montgomery he completed his doctoral work, and he and Coretta Scott began their marriage. The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. represents a testament to a man whose life and teaching have had a profound influence, not only on Americans, but on people of all nations. The Martin Luther King, Jr., Papers Project at Stanford University was established by the Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. in 1984.

Download or read book Theo Monistic Mysticism written by M. Stoeber and published by Springer. This book was released on 1994-04-05 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to some of the current explanations of mystic phenomena, this book proposes an interpretive framework for understanding mysticism. It clarifies various kinds of mystical experiences, suggesting they are not wholly determined by subjective categories of interpretation, and illustrates how they can be synthesised in a theistic, mystic teleology. In reference to Ramanuja, Aurobinodo, Sankara, Eckhart, Ruusbroec, and Boehme, monistic experiences are understood to culminate in higher theistic realizations, to which other kinds of mysticism can also be related.
Download or read book A World of Difference Reasons to Believe written by Kenneth Richard Samples and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Barna research indicates that less than one in ten evangelical Christians hold a biblical worldview. A World of Difference seeks to change this disturbing fact by educating readers on how the Christian perspective is uniquely reasonable, verifiable, and liveable. Author Kenneth Richard Samples faced a profound test of his own belief system during a personal life-and-death crisis. In A World of Difference, he uses nine distinct tests to compare the Christian worldview with current religious and philosophical competitors, including Islam, postmodernism, naturalism, and pantheistic monism. Samples tackles tough issues through this in-depth study of Christianity's history, creed, and philosophical basis. An excellent resource for readers who want their view of life and the world to make sense.
