His work, however, is not well known to Anglophone readers, which this book aims to remedy.
Download or read book Gu nonian Esoterism and Christian Mystery written by Jean Borella and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2005-03 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rene Guenon's explication of the principles of an interior understanding of sacred forms has established his reputation in the West as the master theorist of esoterism. But till now his doctrine has not been the focus of thorough study in Christian circles, and this has had serious consequences. Guenonian Esoterism and Christian Mystery is the first major work to combine an analysis of Guenon's ideas about esoterism with a critical examination of their application to Christianity in terms of data provided by Christianity itself. But to accomplish this, such data cannot simply be surveyed superficially-it must be known firsthand; hence the abundance of citations and references in this text. Such an approach not only lets us decide about certain issues, but may also help us rediscover an all too misunderstood facet of the revelation of Christ. Jean Borella taught philosophy at the University of Nancy until 1995. A Platonist by formation, he has been strongly influenced by Guenon and Eastern metaphysics. But his deepest inspiration derives from unceasing meditation on the Christian faith, which led him to undertake the present searching critique of 'Guenonian Christianity'. A religious philosopher, he strives to hear the reverberations awakened in human thought by revelation. "Rene Guenon was one of the great metaphysical minds of the last few centuries, and it was a great loss to the Catholic Church when he converted to Islam. Prof. Borella shows in this landmark study exactly where Guenon's work remains of perennial value for Christians, but also demonstrates the limitations and personal idiosyncrasies which led Guenon to distort some of the most important elements of Catholic and Orthodox doctrine. Prof. Borella's book may well stimulate the recovery of authentic metaphysics within the Church for which Guenon longed, but which he despaired of seeing in his lifetime." -Stratford Caldecott Editor, Second Spring, Director (UK) of the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture"

Download or read book Cosmic Christianity written by Tim Cleary and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in a very interesting and unique time in human history. The pace of change of technology and of our society as a whole is dizzying, perhaps even disorienting. With the rise of artificial intelligence and the decoding of the human genome, we stand at the threshold of paradigm-shifting discoveries and innovation that may redefine what it means to be human. This is an era defined by tension and infighting between the spheres of science and religion. Indeed, this has been a dominant trend since the nineteenth century. For many modern rational thinkers, the wisdom of our religious traditions has become outmoded and ought be relegated to the dustbins of history. Despite this, the human heart continues to long for the profound, the meaningful, and the sacred—things our spiritual heritage has typically provided. Cosmic Christianity aims to salvage what is most valuable about these sacred traditions while simultaneously integrating them with more modern trends that center on technological advances and artificial intelligence. Moreover it will create a novel synthesis between the values of humanism and mysticism. Apart from this, Cosmic Christianity aims to integrate the wisdom of every imaginable spiritual tradition. From traditional Eastern and Western religions to esoteric, new age, astrology and spiritualism, an all embracing framework is created that comfortably houses all perspectives. Finally, it sets forth a proposal for the origin of God and the universe. You will be inspired and made to ponder by Cosmic Christianity.

Book excerpt: First published in 1980, The Christian Mystery presents a new approach to considering the Mysteries of the Faith. The book examines the doctrines of Christianity, analysing them closely and showing how together they constitute an invisible whole. It argues that churches should turn back to the esoteric teachings known by the first Christians and explores how Christianity has developed the primal Tradition of which Jesus was Representative.

Download or read book The Christian Mystery written by Louis Bouyer and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-07-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysticism has a place in all the major world religions. This book begins with the assertion that Christian Mysticism, in its most essential state, is the mystery of Christ's union with God. Certain major theologians including Albert Ritschl and Karl Barth have stood in opposition to the concept of mysticism and have even suggested that it is opposite to the heart of the Gospel and indeed the whole Bible. Yet Bouyer here makes a strong argument for understanding Mysticism as central to the Christian faith. This analysis of mysticism is contrasted with its place in pagan religions and its role throughout Christian history. In so doing, Bouyer reveals the significance of mysticism for understanding the meaning of life.

Download or read book God Mystery and Mystification written by Denys Turner and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In God, Mystery, and Mystification, Denys Turner presents eight essays covering the major issues of philosophical and practical theology that he has focused on over the fifty years of his academic career. While a somewhat heterogeneous collection, the chapters are loosely linked by a focus on the mystery of God and on distinguishing that mystery from merely idolatrous mystifications. The book covers three main fields: theological epistemology, medieval and early modern mystical theologies, and the relation of Christian belief to natural science and politics. Turner develops the implications of a moderate realist account of theological knowledge as distinct from a fashionable, postmodernist epistemology. This modern realist epistemology is embodied in connections between theoretical, speculative theologies and the practice of the Christian faith in a number of different ways, but mainly as bearing upon the practical, lived connections between faith and reason, between reason and the mystical, between faith and science, and among faith, prayer, and politics. Scholars and advanced students of theology, religious studies, the history of ideas, and medieval thought will be interested in this book.

Download or read book Metaphysics of Mystery written by Marijn de Jong and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we theologically reflect on universality in a world that increasingly focuses on particularities and differences? Marijn de Jong argues that the question of universality calls for a reconceptualized form of metaphysical theology, which he finds in the work of Karl Rahner and Edward Schillebeeckx. Casting a new light on these theologians, de Jong demonstrates that their methods contain a dialectical interrelation of hermeneutics and metaphysics – an interrelation which seemingly has been lost in more recent hermeneutical theology. Rahner and Schillebeeckx carefully balance particularity and universality without falling prey to relativist or absolutist ways of reasoning. By analyzing fundamental themes such as experience and interpretation, nature and grace, faith and reason, and intelligibility and mystery, de Jong reveals the modest theological metaphysics that lies at the heart of their methods. This critical retrieval demonstrates the enduring relevance of these thinkers and opens up new avenues of thought for theologians that do not want to shy away from the difficult question of the universality of God.

Download or read book Questionings to Christian Metaphysics of Conny Mendez written by Rolando José Olivo and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term metaphysics comes from the Greek and means beyond physics. It constitutes a branch of philosophy that tries to go beyond the visible reality, in order to understand the mysteries that transcend the human cognitive abilities, incorporating the enigmas related to the origin, purpose and destiny of humanity. However, the Christian metaphysics of Conny Mendez is not consistent with the transcendental purpose of metaphysics (going further to understand the great existential mysteries) and is more a method of self-help than a valid philosophical discipline. In addition, the Christian metaphysics is based on esoteric, Gnostic and Hermetic principles of the New Age (incompatible with Christianity), and even rejects some Christian foundations (God is not the judge of humanity, Jesus isn ́t God nor the Savior, etc.) and the Judeo-Christian notion of sin. Therefore, this Christian metaphysics, also called dynamic Christianity, is questionable and easy to reject because it isn ́t metaphysics and neither is Christian.
Download or read book The Life and the Way written by Akhoy Kumar Mozumdar and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and the Way: The Christian Yoga Metaphysics The author sends this treatise into the world in the name of the Great Ideal, through whose inspiration he undertook to write it. Excepting the first few pages this book was written inside of a month, in the midst of repeated interruptions by visitors, students and friends. Without the Divine inspiration and guidance it would have been impossible for the author to write this metaphysics, in the midst of a strenuous, busy life, and in a language which he had acquired in but a short time, by self study. By the above statement he does not mean to underrate the value of an academic education, he simply wants to convey the idea that the Almighty can do His work even through one who has very little or no education in the aca demic sense. That fact alone ought to be a message of hope to many millions of God loving souls, who are willing to work in the Lord's vineyard, yet who are hampered by the feeling of their inability and limitation. After writing this treatise, the author has been more than convinced, that to understand the divine philosophy of life, there is very little need of aca demic education. The education which we receive in the Al mighty's kindergarten by the simple trust and self-surrender is sufficient for that purpose. The secret of work in the field of truth is the simple trust in the-all-providing power within us. The scientific explanation of the word trust has been given in this metaphysics. If any one is willing to know about the great mystery of life, let him or her read this book over and over again.
