Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study the life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus Christ in harmony—with all the relevant material from the Gospels placed side by side on the page and in chronological sequence. The goal of this volume by author and teacher J. Dwight Pentecost is to help you know Jesus better by getting a clearer picture of him through the four Gospels—the books that directly depict his life, his ministry, and his heart. To show the harmony of the gospels, passages are arranged in parallel columns when more than one is cited so that you can easily see the accounts beside one another. This simple, logical presentation of the complete parallel text with the outline greatly simplifies your study of Christ's life. A Harmony of the Words and Works of Jesus Christ is ideal for use with its companion volume, The Words and Works of Jesus Christ, a comprehensive study of the life of Christ. A Harmony of the Words and Works of Jesus Christ also makes an outstanding parallel Scripture text for any study of the gospels or the life of Christ. All Scripture is in the New International Version (NIV).

Book excerpt: One Reality: The Harmony of Science and Religion is a compilation of passages from the Bahai writings that explores the relationship between science and religion, and demonstrates the Bahai perspective that the two seemingly opposing forces can live in perfect harmony. As Abdul-Baha, the son of the Prophet and Founder of the Bahai Faith, states: If we say religion is opposed to science, we lack knowledge of either true science or true religion, for both are founded upon the premises and conclusions of reason, and both must bear its test. Meticulously researched and compiled by Bonnie J. Taylor, One Reality offers a comprehensive overview of the subject from a Bahaiperspective, and includes a thought-provoking and challenging introduction from John S. Hatcher, a highly respected academic and the author of numerous books about Bahai scripture and theology.

Download or read book Book of Harmony written by Martin J. Lohrmann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reformation-era writings that make up the Lutheran Confessions remain lively resources for Christian ministry and mission today. Because each of the documents within the Book of Concord was written with a specific context and rhetorical purpose in mind, each has its own compelling story and objectives. Luther’s catechisms present the faith for daily life at the grass-roots level, with teaching elements that we might now view as typical of social media and multimedia. The Augsburg Confession and its Apology provide an adaptable foundation for preaching, teaching, church organization, and dialogue that is rooted in the promise of Christ, received through faith. Fifteen years after the Diet of Worms, the Smalcald Articles reveal yet another “Here I stand” moment for Luther. Finally, the Formula of Concord shows how the next generations of Lutherans used collaboration and consensus as they wrestled with important themes of faith and life. In summary, as these texts engage us with their stories, they invite us to consider what is most important about our journeys of faith and Christian witness in today’s twenty-first-century contexts.

Download or read book The Road to Harmony with God written by Joseph A. Schrock and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-09-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of dedicated efforts to not only find what is most real and most vital for humans to strive toward, but to achieve an increasing harmony with a transcendent Reality that may be called God. The current book is an effort to express in understandable language the author's convictions concerning important aspects of the the road to harmony with the transcendent being we call God. There are almost innumerable religions and religious sects in our troubled world, whereby billions of human beings search for ways to find inner peace and tranquility. Very often such endeavors encounter winding roads, numerous detours in the roads, and far too often major obstacles in our paths. This book seeks to serve as a general outline of how many among us might enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our walk on the road toward true harmony with Ultimate Reality (God). This book is emphatically not one that seeks to steer its readers toward financial wealth, or a life full of sensual and secular thrills, but it does give guidance toward an ever-growing inner peace, harmony, a sense of purpose, well-being, and joy. The book can be read with serious interest and appreciation by Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or those oriented toward New Age ideologies. Even some strict secularists might encounter in its pages some ideas worth considering. The book is essentially nonsectarian, nondenominational, and of potential interest to any seeker of a deeper spirituality and more rewarding growth toward ultimate reality, truth, and goodness.

Download or read book Science and Religion written by John F. Haught and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Has science made religion intellectually implausible? Does it rule out the existence of a personal God? In an age of science can we really believe that the universe has a "purpose"? And, finally, doesn't religion hold much of the blame for the present ecological crisis?" "These questions form the nucleus of today's debate between science and religion. This book is a guide for that debate, identifying the questions, isolating the issues and pointing to ways the questions can be resolved." "There are four possible ways, says John F. Haught, that we can view the relationship between religion and science. First, they can stand in complete opposition - the conflict position. Or, we can believe they are so different that conflict is impossible - the contrast position. A third approach holds that while science and religion are distinct, each has important implications for the other. A fourth way views them as different but mutually supportive."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

I believe that God does reside in our heart and gives us many guides and Angels to help us along the way. A simple request of them and God is all that is needed. I reveal ways that you will find quite simple to believe in and that will not ruin your faith in God, but enhance it.

Download or read book Science and Faith in Harmony written by Sy Garte and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than discord between science and Christian faith, there is a harmony as grand as any choral masterpiece The idea that Christianity and science are inextricably in conflict is a relatively recent conception. However, with each new scientific discovery and scriptural insight, it's an idea that's being proved to be insupportable. Sy Garte has immersed himself in both science and faith and knows they work beautifully together to sing of the greatness of God. Now this respected scientist shares how God's world (nature and science) and God's word (made flesh in Christ) are bound together in loving harmony. In Science and Faith in Harmony, Garte examines modern scientific concepts and what they can teach us about theological truths, such as the dual nature of Christ. He explores the ways in which the terminology and language of science and faith consistently match each other. Despite his deep dives into theology and science, Garte does not get overly technical in his writing. Instead, he is personal and passionate, speaking directly to readers with a tone of joy and wonder, inviting them to join the chorus of praise to the Lord. Readers still wondering whether the truths of science and Christian faith are in conflict need this book. Following the path of Christ and holding a scientific worldview at the same time is not only possible but also leads to a fuller, richer life of harmony and truth.
