Download or read book Lord That I May See Fundamentals of Christian Philosophy written by Matthew Robinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Lord, That I May See: Fundamentals of Christian Philosophy, Robinson surveys the most important concepts in classical philosophy and offers the student a solid foundation in reason. In recent times, the Catholic Church has been urging all of the faithful to come to a renewed appreciation and understanding of genuine philosophy. The pedagogical method of this book is one that widens one's intellectual and spiritual lives in the faith. Beautiful prayers and artwork are offered to help you elevate your hearts and minds to the things of God. Since God has revealed Himself supernaturally by Divine Revelation, and naturally by creation, arguments are employed that make use of those avenues of knowledge of God. Scripture and Tradition are cited to help ground you in the context of the Catholic Church, a Church which is the "pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Tim 3:15).
Download or read book Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview written by J. P. Moreland and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2004 ECPA Gold Medallion Award! Winner of an Award of Excellence in the 2003 Chicago Book Clinic! What is real? What is truth? What can we know? What should we believe? What should we do and why? Is there a God? Can we know him? Do Christian doctrines make sense? Can we believe in God in the face of evil? These are fundamental questions that any thinking person wants answers to. These are questions that philosophy addresses. And the answers we give to these kinds of questions serve as the the foundation stones for consrtucting any kind of worldview. In Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview J.P. Moreland and William Lane Craig offer a comprehensive introduction to philosophy from a Christian perspective. In their broad sweep they seek to introduce readers to the principal subdisciplines of philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics and philosophy of religion. They do so with characteristic clarity and incisiveness. Arguments are clearly outlined, and rival theories are presented with fairness and accuracy. Philosophy, they contend, aids Christians in the tasks of apologetics, polemics and systematic theology. It reflects our having been made in the image of God, helps us to extend biblical teaching into areas not expressly addressed in Scripture, facilitates the spiritual discipline of study, enhances the boldness and self-image of the Christian community, and is requisite to the essential task of integrating faith and learning. Here is a lively and thorough introduction to philosophy for all who want to know reality.

Download or read book The Problem of God Yesterday and Today written by John Courtney Murray and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an urbane and persuasive tract for our time, the distinguished Catholic theologian combines a comprehensive metaphysics with a sensitivity to contemporary existentialist thought. Father Murray traces the “problem of God” from its origins in the Old Testament, through its development in the Christian Fathers and the definitive statement by Aquinas, to its denial by modern materialism. Students and nonspecialist intellectuals may both benefit by the book, which illuminates the problem of development of doctrine that is now, even more than in the days of Newman, a fundamental issue between Roman Catholic and Protestant, theologians and nonspecialst intellectuals alike will find the subject of vital interest. As a challenge to the ecumenical dialogue, the question is raised whether, in the course of its development through different phases, the problem of God has come back to its original position. Father Murray is Ordinary professor of theology at Woodstock College, Woodstock, Maryland. St. Thomas More Lectures, 1. "A gem of a book—lucid, illuminating, brilliantly written. A fine contribution to the current Catholic theological renaissance."—Paul Weiss.
Download or read book Christian Eternalism written by Armon Eaton and published by ChristianEternalism.org. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John A. Widtsoe said "The Gospel may be said to be 'The philosophy of Eternalism.' The Gospel is immersed in the ocean of eternity." Neal A. Maxwell said "Eternalism is defined as that view of man and the universe which not only acknowledges, but exults in, the existence of a Heavenly Father...Eternalism focuses on the individual and on those processes in which the individual is taught correct principles and then is given optimum opportunity to govern himself...For those who believe we are all going to be around forever, it is both natural and wise to concern ourselves with such questions and also with such principles which are also going to be around forever." These quotes involving the word "Eternalism" indicate a deep philosophical foundation underlying everything about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. This book describes some of the philosophical foundations of what Latter-day Saints call the Restoration. In the broadest sense, philosophy is concerned with mankind's relationship to existence, whereas theology is concerned with mankind's relationship to God. Both philosophy and theology are important to Latter-Day Saints because one's view of God is greatly influenced by one's view of reality. Eternalism then, in the broadest sense, is Latter-day Saint theology explained within a philosophically sound structure.
Download or read book Foundations of Christian Belief written by Francis L. Strickl and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Christian Belief: Studies in the Philosophy of Religion These pages are addressed to all who have an interest in the deeper problems of present-day religious thinking. The purpose is to draft sound philosophy into the service of religion. Thoughtful men and women who love the Christian faith not infrequently find their horizons of knowledge widening and some of their fundamental religious conceptions undergoing change. When this happens the fogs of perplexity and doubt are apt to drift in. It is hoped that these pages may afford some guidance to thought, so that even though modifications of belief may become necessary, the deeper convictions may not be weakened nor religious faith lose its spiritual content. Religion is not primarily a matter of clear or correct belief; it is an experience of the soul entered into through faith, obedience, and love. But clear thinking on the great fundamental issues is of prime importance. The soul does not generally nurture great convictions while reason is groping. And clear and strong Christian thinking is very necessary if the Christian Church is to make an authoritative appeal to the life of to-day. We shall attempt to discuss some fundamental matters in the philosophy of religion. The method will not be that of abstract speculation. We shall consider fundamental truths in the philosophical spirit but from the standpoint of religious values.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Christian Being written by Walter E. Brandenburg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Christian Being Christianity has fundamentals. They are the cardinal doctrines relating to Jesus Christ. Destroy belief in any of them, and all are reduced to devitalized formulas of thinking and living. One of these fundamentals, central to all, is the resurrection of Jesus. Without his resurrection, sin has no atonement, and there is no hope for our dead. Christianity itself is supported by false witnesses, as declared by the Apostle Paul. Co-related to that subject are the incarnation, doctrine of the Holy Spirit, the death and ascension of Christ. These have been presented so many times in familiar form that their attractiveness is sicklied over. A fresh presentation from the scientific viewpoint by sound reasoning will do good. The chapters of this volume have been constructed out of sermonic material, begotten by a yearning desire to convince doubters, answer disbelievers, and confirm Disciples of Christ. To render this threefold service, the author submits facts, quotes utterances of thinkers, applies Scripture and argues to logical conclusions from the premises he submits.

Download or read book Jesus the Great Philosopher written by Jonathan T. Pennington and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us tend to live as though Jesus represents the "spiritual part" of our lives. We don't clearly see how he relates to the rest of our experiences, desires, and habits. How can Jesus, the Bible, and Christianity become more than a compartmentalized part of our lives? Highly regarded New Testament scholar and popular teacher Jonathan Pennington argues that we need to recover the lost biblical image of Jesus as the one true philosopher who teaches us how to experience the fullness of our humanity in the kingdom of God. Jesus teaches us what is good, right, and beautiful and offers answers to life's big questions: what it means to be human, how to be happy, how to order our emotions, and how we should conduct our relationships. This book brings Jesus and Christianity into dialogue with the ancient philosophers who asked the same big questions about finding meaningful happiness. It helps us rediscover biblical Christianity as a whole-life philosophy, one that addresses our greatest human questions and helps us live meaningful and flourishing lives.
