This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profound Problems in Theology and Philosophy In Philosophy there is the profound question of Sub stance - that which is properly regarded as the primary foundation of what we experience as the two sub-depart ments of matter and of mind. All that can be hoped for here, is to formulate such definitions as shall present a natural concatenation of these departments with the primal foundation: such, moreover, as will go to ex pound the relationship of objects, as differentiated from one another; and further, such as will elucidate the operations of what is called Cause, in producing the phenomenon which is called Efiect; and in this way to expound the eventualities of nature in all their complex and minute variety. This. In fact, is the problem given forth by Hume, and left unsolved by Kant - a problem which constitutes the Philosophy of law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in Theology But today the personal relation to the once crucified and now living Christ is considered a better claim to soundness of religious faith. The deeper we draw the waters from the wells of true philosophy and science, the clearer and purer will be the waters from the wells of God's holy book. The Bible and the religion taught therein have nothing to fear, but much to gain, in the way of exposition and enforcement, from genuine philosophy and science.

Download or read book Theology and the Problem of Evil written by Kenneth Surin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most profound problems that theologians are called on to address is the presence of evil and suffering in the world, and how this can be reconciled with the assertion of an omnipotent and morally perfect God. This book begins by showing how the problem of evil has been inextricably bound up with the problematic deity created by the philosophical theism of the Enlightenment and perpetuated ever since, demonstrating how contemporary theodicists have failed to perceive the historical and cultural determinants which affect their theorizing. Dr. Surin argues that thinking on the problem of evil consists of two fundamental perspectives. He labels these the theoretical and the practical approaches and examines the work of a number of theologians who typify each. Alvin Plantinga, Richard Swinburne, the process theologians, and John Hick exemplify the theoretical approach; Dorothee Soelle, Jurgen Moltmann, and P. T. Forsyth the practical. He uses the views of Dostoevsky's character Ivan Karamazov and the protagonists in Elie Wiesel's writing as a paradigm for evaluating the two approaches, and concludes that only the practical approach has the merit of both rooting itself in the realities of human suffering, and grounding itself in the fundamental rule of what he calls an adequate grammar of salvation, namely that God justifies himself by justifying sinners on the cross. Finally, Dr. Surin explores this grammar of the notion of an incarnate salvation with particular reference to the need for a messianic and practical solidarity with those who are afflicted. This thought-provoking book will serve both as an introduction to those new to the ideas of theodicy, and as a stimulating essay for those dissatisfied with conventional studies of theology and the problem of evil.
Download or read book The Philosophy of Christianity written by William D. Pirie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Christianity: Or the Purpose and Power of the Gospel Although all nations, and even all tribes, profess some sort of religion, yet there prevails an extreme uncertainty as to its purpose, and as to the means or mode under which such purpose is to be realised. This is the more Singular because people do not seem generally to be aware of it themselves. The fact is, that men naturally dislike precise knowledge with respect to religion. They prefer loose and in definite notions, which do not perplex them by con siderations away from those objects in which alone they take a profound interest. This will appear manifest even under a very general investigation of the character of religion as usually professed and practised among human beings, taken in connection with the subject to which our attention is now more specially to be directed.

Download or read book The New Infinite and the Old Theology Classic Reprint written by Cassius Jackson Keyser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Infinite and the Old Theology The following pages have been written under the stress of that conviction, which the intervening years have but deepened and confirmed. Rational theology is a legitimate and venerable member of the great family of spiritual enterprises of man: natural science, philosophy, jurisprudence, religion, art, mathematics, theology. These are all of them children of one great passion: the imperious craving of the human spirit for an inner ideal adjustment of life to the tragic limitations of life in a flowing world. The distinctive problems of rational theology are regarded as in a special sense originating in what may be called the supernalizing tendence or power of the human mind. This propensity or power, so strange and so famil iar in every category of the understanding, ever and everywhere manifesting the pres ence of a kind of divine energy in the world, is a 'natural' agency, being at once a human faculty and a cosmic force, deeper than will; and so rational theology is con ceived to be a species of 'natural' science that branch of it which has for its special task to study and to appraise the phenomena of Idealization.

Download or read book Renovated written by Jim Wilder and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity has tended to focus on right beliefs and right choices as the keys for personal growth. But biblical evidence and modern brain science show that our character is shaped more by whom we love than what we believe. Through conversations he had with Dallas Willard at the Heart & Soul Conference shortly before Dallas's death, Jim Wilder shows how we can train our brains to relate to God based on joyful, mutual attachment--which leads to emotional and spiritual maturity as our identity and character are formed by our relationship with God.

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 Across the Spectrum written by Gregory A. Boyd and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible yet comprehensive primer explores the breadth of viewpoints on major issues in evangelical theology by examining positions taken by evangelicals on seventeen seminal issues. The second edition retains the helpful features of the first edition and adds an appendix that addresses thirteen peripheral issues in contemporary evangelicalism. Praise for the first edition "The authors do what no book on the market does: In one volume they faithfully present divergent views on the crucial issues that divide evangelicals, and they do so in an unbiased, succinct, and lively manner. This book is perfect as a supplemental text in an introductory theology course or as a manual for church study groups. It will help everyone arrive at his or her own conclusions within the parameters of the evangelical tradition."--Dennis Okholm, Azusa Pacific University "Across the Spectrum succeeds with distinction in at least two respects. First, it represents a very useful tool for those who wish to begin grappling with different approaches to difficult theological problems. The book will be most helpful to beginning students in evangelical theology, the target audience. Second, the work presents various perspectives in fair and unbiased tones. . . . If used with care, it will repeatedly reward the reader with its fair and even treatment of different theological views."--Nathan D. Holsteen, Bibliotheca Sacra "I've been waiting for this book for some time. Due to its brief, nontechnical format, it can be used in a variety of ways in undergraduate theology courses. Although a concise volume, it succinctly outlines multiple arguments, both pro and con, for (incredibly!) over two dozen issues in disputed, largely non-fundamental areas of doctrine. The professor can present positions in favor of particular views or leave the issues open. It's settled--I'm requiring it!"--Gary R. Habermas, Liberty University "A collective sigh of relief will arise from the evangelical student body when it discovers this book! It helpfully and critically surveys the many legitimate evangelical theological options and convincingly demonstrates that there is no single authentically evangelical viewpoint on a wide range of controversial issues. It constitutes a small library between two covers."--Roger E. Olson, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University
Download or read book Classic Issues in Islamic Philosophy and Theology Today written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With some exceptions, there is not a real interest in Islamic philosophy and t- ology in Western institutions today. This largely ignored area has the potential to present enlightening insights into the development of the Western thought and to contribute to contemporary discussions in philosophy and theology in general. Scholars working in Islamic thought usually focus on its medieval background and consider it to be mainly of a historical interest and far away from the intellectual world of today. Showing its contemporary relevance is an important task by which the status of Islamic philosophy can be elevated to its proper station. By considering these points in mind, the University of Kentucky organized an international graduate student conference on Islamic philosophy and the- ogy with an emphasis on its contemporary relevance which was held between the 28th and 30th September 2007. This book emerged out of the conf- ence by adding more chapters relevant to the main theme of the book. This book presents analyses and discussions of different topics in Islamic philo- phy and theology by relating them to contemporary debates and ideas in four main areas: epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of religion and value t- ory. There are ten chapters in sum. Some of the chapters are written by graduate students and some of them by experienced scholars. Each chapter presents c- siderable insight into its relevant topic but does not represent the opinion of anybody except the author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Personality: The Problem of Man's Personal Life as Viewed in the Light of an Hypothesis of Man's Religious FaithHere are no more profound and difficult problems than those which concern the personal life of man.Indeed, it might successfully be argued that all other problems are in some sort largely included in the answers given to these problems. This is not true alone from the theoretical point of View, as affecting our conclusions touching all the fundamental issues of philosophy, religion, and the positive sciences. It is pre-eminently true as touching all the practical issues of life. What shall I think of myself, my origin, the meaning of my life, the values which it seeks to realize, and my destiny; these are inquiries, than Which no other lie so near to the vital interests of every man.And surely, at no other time in human history has the pressure of the inquiry into the secret of human personal life and the measurement of its fundamental and eternal values if indeed it has any such been more insistent and spiritually disturbing.
