Download or read book Slippery Paths in the Darkness written by Alan R Tippett and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A primary concern amongst missiologists is presenting the gospel in a way that is culturally relevant without adulterating the essential truths of the message. The ability to appropriately contextualize this message is the difference between establishing an indigenous Christianity as opposed to introducing syncretism. In this compendium of presentations and papers, the issue is addressed with regard to the idea of covenant relationship with the Lord. Drawing from interdisciplinary research across continents, Tippett examines the syncretistic religious behaviors eminent at the time of his writing that threatened to fracture this covenant relationship— from eastern personality cults in India to scientology in Australia, from satanism in the United States to animism in Mexico. While his research only spans a set number of years, Tippett provides timeless insights for a global church burdened with the Great Commission call in an increasingly pluralistic world.

Download or read book The Crescent Has Its Own Stories written by Prothoma Rai Chaudhuri and published by Ukiyoto Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-10 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excuse me, did you say ‘medieval India’? But why? The ‘glory’ of the ancient era, we understand. The fascinating modern times, our times, we proudly inherit and own. But…why this? What, after all, is worthy of attention there? Illicit in its mention, obscure in its situation, repulsive in its attributes, the medieval period in the subcontinent is the surest reference to all things dark and best forgotten. The Crescent Has Its Own Stories is an answer to that vexed question, ‘but why?’ It brings together 18 young student-scholars who attempt to listen to the whispers of the crescent, symbolic of the era in more ways than one, unearth hidden stories, and illuminate our minds which turn as dark as the supposed ‘dark ages’ whenever we are forced to look back in history.

Download or read book The Dark of Summer written by Eric Linklater and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduced by Eric Linklater. In the early years of the Second World War an army officer is sent to the Faroe Islands to investigate rumours of a collaboration with the Nazi regime in Norway. What he finds changes lives, not least his own. No one who reads this book will forget the frozen corpse tied to a chair in an icehouse guarded by two drunken seamen, or the raging storm which batters their ship as they carry the body to Shetland. That’s just the beginning. As the tale takes hold, the reader becomes haunted, just as the characters are haunted by a sense of guilt and betrayal. One of the finest of Linklater’s later, deeper, darker novels, The Dark of Summer combines national and family histories as it sets out to understand the past, redeem the corrosion of memory and find meaning in a world of divided loyalties. ‘He writes not only of an angel, but like one...’ Observer ‘One of the finest craftsmen of the century, shamefully undervalued.’ Anthony Burgess ‘His masterpiece, and one of the finest novels of the century, in the same class as Waugh’s Sword of Honour.’ Allan Massie
Download or read book Some Days from a Hill Diary written by Adam Watson and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presents extracts from his hill diary in Scotland, Iceland and Norway, including hill-walking, rock and snow climbing, ski-mountaineering, observing wildlife, and being with mountaineering companions and local people. These diary days started in 1943 when he was 13. They continued through a personal exploration of hill country, often solo, until 1951. The book portrays his excitement as he trod his beloved hills at first in summer and then in winter snow, and his joy at the beauty of nature. In his diary he caught his experiences of long days on the hills, describing views, wildlife, weather and local folk so vividly that readers easily imagine being there.
Download or read book Storms written by Reverend Anthony Kelley and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to inspire, encourage, and remind its readers, Christian workers, laypersons, missionaries, evangelists, and pastors and teachers, that it is within this time of challenges, conspiracies, contradictions, and controversies that requires the preaching enterprise to be forthright, provocative, and prophetic as it presents the gospel message of Jesus the Christ with all urgency, clarity, and correctness. Well-prepared sermon manuscripts presented in the book are biblically sound, homiletically structured, and theologically correct and provide an excellent resource for busy pastors who sometimes must preach through “storms” within their churches faced with the stress and strain of their multi-faceted ministry in the church and leadership in the community. This approach to that prophetic word which meets people where they are is understood to be and manifested in three (3) distinct but interconnected and interrelated stages of prophetic and priestly preaching—that is, preaching while heading “to a storm,” preaching while “in a storm,” and preaching coming “out of a storm” with celebration on the shore of deliverance by a God “who is there, and he is not silent”. Each sermon unapologetically leads the reader intentionally to the Friday Cross of Suffering where Jesus died for the redemption of humankind but especially to the Sunday Resurrection of Power when victorious living was made possible for those who believe.

Download or read book Dignity and Duties of the Priest written by Saint Alphonsus de Liguori and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dignity of the priest is also estimated from the power that he has over the real and the mystic body of Jesus Christ. With regard to the power of priests over the real body of Jesus Christ, it is of faith that when they pronounce the words of consecration the Incarnate Word has obliged himself to obey and to come into their hands under the sacramental species. We are struck with wonder when we hear that God obeyed the voice of Josue The Lord obeying the voice of man and made the sun stand when he said move not, O sun, towards Gabaon, . . . and the sun stood still.
