Download or read book Religion and Life Classic Reprint written by James Reed and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and Life Religion has relation to life, and is inseparable from it. The word is derived from a Latin word which means to bind back. The primary and all important idea expressed in it is that of binding, of obligation and accountability to a higher and anterior power. The truly religious man feels re sponsibilities of which others know nothing. He is conscious of having bound himself to a better life, and a nobler service, than any which the world can offer him. In a word, he has undertaken to act in all things not from himself, but from God, -to do, not his own selfish pleasure, but his Heavenly Father's will. He feels his own need of the Divine Presence. To him it is not enough to understand and believe. He must worship. He must bow down in prayer. He must establish and feel a personal relationship between himself and God. He must go to the Lord in a devout and humble Spirit, trying to come under the Divine in uence, in order that his life may grow into accord with the Divine life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion as Life IF one is to do justice to the breadth of human nature, he may not forget that there are always two questions to be asked concerning any of the phenomena of the world and of life: How did it come to be? What does it mean? The question of process, of mechanical explanation, and the question of meaning, of ideal interpreta tion. And men cannot help asking the second question as well as the first. As Watts says, endeavoring to put into words the constant thought back of all his own work as an artist: As long as humanity is humanity, man will yearn to ascend the heights that human footsteps may not tread, and will long to lift the veil that shrouds the enigma of being; and he will most prize the echo of this longing in even the incoherent expression of literature.

Download or read book Sermons on Religion Life Classic Reprint written by Frederick William Robertson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons on Religion Life The sermons seem therefore specially fitted for a generation determined on truth, while they at the same time give expres sion to the faith after which it is groping. Faith comes from faith as life comes from life.' The man who walks as seeing the invisible opens other men's eyes for a like vision. Robertson walks through a real world, he has to do with society, with labour and capital, with doubts, with sorrow and failure, but he deals with everything as One who himself knows the whole of which everything is a part. He takes, for instance, the natural human desire for rest. He, by examples which appeal to every one's experience, shows what sort of rest satisfies and what does not satisfy. He gives due recognition to the other human desires - to the desire for action and the desire for fame, which seem to war with the desire for rest. Then, out of the very facts of human nature, he brings, as it were, the present God. His readers are not forced by argument, they feel in themselves that as they become like God they will find rest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Life and Thought The following observations on Religious Life and Thought, although appearing in the popular form of Sermons, and printed as they were delivered from week to week to my own Congrega tion, and having the slightness of structure that such communi cations require, are not hasty expressions of opinion. They are portions of a deliberately formed body of opinion. The concep tions of religion to be found in them have been elaborated at leisure. The statement of these conceptions is often made with little enough leisure; but I wish it to be distinctly understood that the Sermons do not set forth tentative essays at the solution of a great problem. I would rather that they were looked upon as sundry efforts to familiarize the public mind with results at which I have myself arrived after many years of special study. Not that I suppose for a moment that I have seen wholly round the subject treated of. I know it too well to entertain any such notion. I can honestly make use of words of Kant, applied by him to another subject of inquiry: Alle Aufgaben aufib'sen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons on the Christian Life The publisher of this volume has been anxiously desirous to promote, by such means as his position might place in his power, the habit of reading for direct religious edification. He has believed that, both in the private chamber and in the family circle, especially when any are deprived, wholly or partially, of the privileges of the sanctuary, no other books will quite supply the place of printed sermons; and he has regretted that, in our country, so few volumes of this class are offered to the public. In the hope that the taste of thoughtful persons may not be yet at settled variance with what was formerly esteemed so favourable to the growth of individual and domestic piety, he determined to enter on the publication of several volumes from living preachers of the Church, if their consent could be obtained, and if the first results of the enterprise should not be mere discouragements.

Download or read book Principles of Religious Life Classic Reprint written by Francis Cuthbert Doyle and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Religious Life The chief object for which this work has been written is to furnish those who wish to lead a solidly devout life in the Ecclesiastical, in the Religious, or in the Secular State, with a manual or text-book containing, in as compendious a form as possible, the 'principles' upon which such a life must be built. The sources whence materials for an undertaking of this kind may be drawn are various and numerous; but out of the many at my disposal, two are especially deserving of mention, inasmuch as it has been by the doctrine which I have learnt from them, that I have been guided in much that has been treated of in this book. The first of these are the works of Cassian, to which, as a child of St. Benedict, I felt myself drawn as it were by instinct; for, it was from the world-famed 'Conferences' of this learned ascetic that our holy Father drew much of that spiritual lore which is so conspicuous in the various enactments of his Rule, and to the pages of which he refers his children, for those sublime lessons of spiritual wisdom, which will lead them to the topmost height of Christian perfection. Cassian's teaching, save upon the question of divine grace, is unexceptionally good. His deficiency upon this point may be satisfactorily accounted for, if we bear in mind that in his day various questions which arise out of this most intricate subject had not been thoroughly examined into and set at rest for ever by the infallible decision of the Church. The second is the 'Theologia Mystica' of Father Dominick Schram, O.S.B., in which that erudite Religious has bequeathed to us valuable treasures of Christian asceticism arranged with scientific accuracy, and stored away with scholastic neatness and precision. The plan of which I have made use for reducing to order the mass of material which presented itself to my hands, is a very simple one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Aspects of Life and Religion "If thou art base and earthly, then despair. Thou art but mortal as the brute that falls. Birds weave their nests, the lion finds a lair, Man builds his halls, - These are but coverts from earth's war and storm, Homes where our lesser lives take shape and breath; But, if no heavenly man has grown, what form Clothes thee at death? And when thy meed of penalty is o'er, And fire has burnt the dross, where gold is none, Shall separate life, but wasted heretofore, Still linger on? God fills all space; whatever doth offend From His unbounded Presence shall be spurned; Or deem'st thou He should garner tares, whose end Is to be burned? If thou wouldst see the Power that round thee sways, In whom all motion, thought, and life are cast, Know, that the pure, who travel heavenward ways, See God at last."

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychology of the Religious Life In the religious life there is an inherent struggle. The presence Of the Supremely Impressive makes the self and other men and all the common goods Of life Objects at once Of value and contempt. Reverence calls forth both hope and fear, both rejoicing and dejection. And yet men naturally see this conflict, not as wholly in themselves, but at least in part as without the parts and powers Of the world appear to be in mutual strife. There is, however, in peoples and religions a differing sense Of this discord. The Greek pictured the world, somewhat as he built his temple, with a certain Simple grace; while the Germanic mind, like the Gothic vault with its impenetrable shadows, saw the gloom and the evil close to what is fair. Every people and every person in varying degree reveals a peculiar feeling Of the tension Of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
