Download or read book The Reconstruction of Resurrection Belief written by Peter Carnley and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While its companion volume, The Resurrection in Retrospect, addresses the inadequacies of an approach to the Resurrection of Christ purely as an event of past historical time, The Reconstruction of Resurrection Belief articulates an alternative understanding of Resurrection faith as essentially a response of trust based upon a knowledge by acquaintance with the living presence of Christ today. In the hope that it may have some traction in an increasingly secular world of contemporary scientific realism, Carnley demonstrates an understanding of the nature of Resurrection faith in the language of today, with as much logical coherence as possible, and explains how the claim that the animating Spirit of the Christian community that Saint Paul spoke of as ‘the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus’ (Rom 8:2) may be justifiably identified in faith today as ‘the living presence of Jesus of Nazareth.’

Download or read book Agape Agape written by William Gaddis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Gaddis published four novels during his lifetime, immense and complex books that helped inaugurate a new movement in American letters. Now comes his final work of fiction, a subtle, concentrated culmination of his art and ideas. For more than fifty years Gaddis collected notes for a book about the mechanization of the arts, told by way of a social history of the player piano in America. In the years before his death in 1998, he distilled the whole mass into a fiction, a dramatic monologue by an elderly man with a terminal illness. Continuing Gaddis's career-long reflection on those aspects of corporate technological culture that are uniquely destructive of the arts, Agape Agape is a stunning achievement from one of the indisputable masters of postwar American fiction.

Download or read book Minority Reports written by Mark Klitsie and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stuff that comes after modernism isn't all bad. Postmodernism, not needing everything to be buttoned up, can leave things dangling; it can pay attention to the obscure, marginal, and particular. The postmodern dynamic invites one to revisit biblical texts that do not fit into tidy, cherished theological constructs: I call these texts the "minority reports." Popular theology infers that God is just pretending when he changes his mind or gets frustrated, saddened, and affected by humans--this understanding is guided by concepts of God's omni-attributes. But these wise and well-intentioned concepts fail to portray a God who will not be domesticated. Certain biblical narratives trace YHWH's hiddenness, suffering, changeability, and "hostility"--this awkward "shadow side" of YHWH is sometimes selectively overlooked. The fear of God is gone. Instead we have the ever-tolerant, universal God who is in danger of evaporating into "spirit," "light," and "love." As a theologian I use Hebrew block logic: competing truths in the Bible are kept intact; synthesis isn't necessarily sought. God chooses us and we choose God; God is self-sufficient, all-powerful, and all-knowing, needing no creature. Yet he chooses to limit his "omni-ness" in the human arena and makes himself vulnerable to humans. He hyphenates his name with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob--and the church--at a risk.

Download or read book The Surpassing Righteousness written by Charles R. Davis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sermon on the Mount is very much more than a sermon. Mr. Davis argues that it characterizes the core principles for those who would be disciples of Christ. Specifically, The Sermon on the Mount argues that its thesis is that God calls people to voluntarily repent of sins and too voluntarily accept the responsibility for complying with what Jesus calls the righteousness that surpasses the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees apart from which no one can expect to attain to the Kingdom of Heaven. Davis argues that the application of Christs principles is grounded in the fundamental reality that Sin is inherently dysfunctional and the only remedy is repudiating dysfunction and complying with holiness. Davis further argues that to comply with holiness must begin in character transformation such that the Kingdom disciple performs righteous deeds from a righteous character.
