Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the vast majority of American Catholics today do not understand the Eucharist, much less believe what the Church and Christ himself maintain about it, Bethlehem: The House of Bread is a timely primer to understand the Catholic teaching on the Eucharist. It provides an overview of what Vatican II declared the “source and summit of the Christian life.” Step by step, Bethlehem (“House of Bread” in Hebrew) scans the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, revealing the scriptural roots of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, thus placating the Protestant views that it is merely symbolic! Bethlehem continues the exploration with writings of the early church, medieval theologians, and recent influential Catholic leaders. All of them concur with the Bible. The Eucharist has the power to transform one’s life. This booklet is for anyone desiring to know more about this vital mystery of the faith in these troubling times.

Download or read book He Dwells Among Us written by William Emmanuel Abraham and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces and clarifies steps towards the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham through the twists and turns of Israelite history to culminate in the unexpected manner of its fulfillment. The manner of the fulfillment is to be understood not through prophecy but through Levitical Law, which Jesus declared he had come to observe and not set aside. To do otherwise would ignore that declaration and inevitably distort the nature of Jesus’ mission and salvific work. This book accordingly provokes new questions but also leads to conformable answers. Why would the magi come from Babylon to worship a Judahite baby? Why was there the temptation in the wilderness? Why did Jesus establish a priesthood? How does Levitical law explain Jesus’ missing body? Above all, what does it really mean to say that the Son of God and Lord of life died?
Download or read book American Jesus written by Stephen Prothero and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2004-09-18 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deep Dive into America's Complex Relationship with Jesus There's no denying America's rich religious background–belief is woven into daily life. But as Stephen Prothero argues in American Jesus, many of the most interesting appraisals of Jesus have emerged outside the churches: in music, film, and popular culture; and among Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and people of no religion at all. Delve into this compelling chronicle as it explores how Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth, has been refashioned into distinctly American identities over the centuries. From his enlistment as a beacon of hope for abolitionists to his appropriation as a figurehead for Klansmen, the image of Jesus has been as mercurial as it is influential. In this diverse and conflicted scene, American Jesus stands as a testament to the peculiar fusion of the temporal and divine in contemporary America. Equal parts enlightening and entertaining, American Jesus goes beyond being simply a work of history. It’s an intricate mirror, reflecting the American spirit while questioning the nation's socio-cultural fabric.

Download or read book Jesus and the Other Names written by Paul F. Knitter and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What are Christians to make of their mission in an pluralistic world?" asks Paul F. Knitter, author of the landmark work in interfaith dialogue No Other Name? As a recognized scholar and participant in interfaith dialogue, Knitter is in a unique position to explore the key concept of what Christian mission must entail in a world that will remain a world of many religious faiths for the foreseeable future. From the first chapter of Jesus and the Other Names, which recounts his own theological and dialogical odyssey, Knitter constructs what he calls a "correlational, globally-responsible theology of religions" as a necessary correction to traditional pluralist and exclusivist approaches. By anticipating and addressing his critics - both conservative and liberal - Knitter makes a powerful argument for a reconstruction of mission faithful to the Christian imperative and dynamically attuned to the plurality of the world. Jesus and the Other Names will give pause to those who believe Christian mission can be carried on as it was in the modern era. Sure to inspire debate as well as dialogue it offers a more humble, but perhaps more "Christic", postmodern approach to mission in the new millennium that has little to do with earthly glory and nothing to do with the sense of cultural superiority that has so often - and often so tragicallyaccompanied modern missionary movements. Theologians, missiologists, Christian historians, can all benefit from its thoughtful and timely message.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Muslim-Christian Polemics across the Mediterranean Diego R. Sarrió Cucarella provides an exposition and analysis of Shihāb al-Dīn al-Qarāfī’s (d. 684/1285) Splendid Replies to Insolent Questions (al-Ajwiba al-fākhira ‘an al-as’ila al-fājira). Written in response to an apology for Christianity by the Melkite Bishop of Sidon, Paul of Antioch, the Splendid Replies is among the most extensive and most important medieval Muslim refutations of Christianity, and the primary significance of this study is to provide detailed access to its argumentation and intellectual context for the first time in a western language. Moreover, the Introduction and Conclusion creatively situate the work within the challenges of modern-day Christian-Muslim dialogue.

Download or read book Faith and Reason written by Carmel Paul Attard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Christian you might have asked yourself questions like: How could a benevolent God, “our Father,” punish anyone in fire eternally? How could billions of non-members of my church all be going to hell? How can there be three “Gods” in one God? How can Jesus be both human and divine? Why is the “kingdom of God” in heaven, but we pray for it to “come on earth”? Why is the Bible infallible when it’s littered with textual contradictions? The talking serpent clearly relegates Adam and Eve’s story to the realm of tales. Since they never existed, how could they have committed original sin? So how could we inherit it? And what did Jesus need to redeem us from? It’s been almost two thousand years: will Jesus ever come back to earth? How can Jesus be inside the Eucharist? Faith and Reason shows why and how we’ve come to believe such oddities. “The truth will set you free!” John 8:32 (NIV)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, the Jehovah's Witnesses spend about 2 billion hours evangelizing their communities around the world in 357 languages. Many think that they know the Jehovah's Witnesses, but the sources are usually twofold: (1) They are misinformed Bible scholars who have read books and websites by disgruntled ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. (2) They have read books or comments by disgruntled ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. Herein you will learn a lot that you may have not known and learn some things about how to better evangelize them, or if you are even up to evangelize them. Moreover, we will use some arguments often raised about Jehovah's Witnesses as our text case from such persons as J. Warner Wallace is a leading Evangelical Christian apologist today. Here is what you will need to know in order to effectively share your faith with JWs when they come knocking.

Download or read book Words of God Or Words of Men written by A. I. Mind and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While highly controversial the book is intended to stimulate discussion about the divine origin of religious texts and attempts to raise the collective consciousness regarding religion's subjugation of women with the hope that women break free from this repression. Is scripture truly the Word of God? Why does scripture treat women as second class citizens? What is the meaning of 666? Did Jesus live to be over fifty years of age? The author suggests a qualitative analysis be performed on scripture for accuracy, consistency and reasonableness to determine divine origin and exposes religion's subjugation and oppression of women. Read the Open Letter to God which contains references to scriptural passages and ask yourself, "Are these the words of God?" The author suggests we are entering into a new phase of the Age of Enlightenment where individuals replace acceptance of repressive religious ideology with An Inquiring Mind? The last chapter contains Thoughts on life on some 50 subjects.
