Download or read book The Crown of Creation Poems written by Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This poem was suggested in a flash by a paragraph in Michael McClure's book, "Scratching the Beat Surface," in which he quotes Ernst Haekel in the words used here as an epigraph, "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." He goes on to say, in explanation, "Haekel meant that the individual, in his growth from meeting of sperm and ovum at conception, lives out, in fetus, the growth and evolution of his tribe; that first he is an amoeba, then a colonial organism, then an invertebrate, then a lancet, then a fish, until at last he is a mammal and a human." Reading this brought together for me various strands of thought into one clear picture, in harmony with the cosmological picture of the Muslim saints: "Man is a little cosmos, the cosmos is a big man." And the view that Allah created the entire creation as a setting, as it were, into which He placed man, the jewel, the perfect diamond, as the seal and culmination of this creation. ________________________________________________

Download or read book The Seven Pillars of Creation written by William P. Brown and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their highly selective and literal reading of Scripture, creationists champion a rigidly reductionistic view of creation in their fight against "soulless scientism." Conversely, many scientists find faith in God to be a dangerous impediment in the empirical quest for knowledge. As a result of this ongoing debate, many people of faith feel forced to choose between evolution and the Bible's story of creation. But, as William Brown asks, which biblical creation story are we talking about? Brown shows that, through a close reading of biblical texts, no fewer than seven different biblical perspectives on creation can be identified. By examining these perspectives, Brown illuminates both connections and conflicts between the ancient creation traditions and the natural sciences, arguing for a new way of reading the Bible in light of current scientific knowledge and with consideration of the needs of the environment. In Brown's argument, both scientific inquiry and theological reflection are driven by a sense of wonder, which, in his words, "unites the scientist and the psalmist." Brown's own wonder at the beauty and complexity of the created world is evident throughout this intelligent, well-written, and inspirational book.

Download or read book Barth s Doctrine of Creation written by Andrew K. Gabriel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologians working on the doctrine of creation are compelled to wrestle with Karl Barth's explication of this doctrine. And yet, studies on Barth have not paid a significant amount of attention to this aspect of his theology. To help fill this gap, Gabriel introduces and clarifies Barth's doctrine of creation by outlining its contours and evaluating three prominent critiques of Barth--critiques that focus on questions regarding the place of nature, the Trinity, Jesus, and history in his doctrine. Gabriel finds value in these critiques, while also identifying ways in which Barth's theology sometimes adequately addresses them. Through this, Gabriel mines insights from Barth that can contribute to a theology of nature or ecological theology and a Trinitarian theology of creation.
Download or read book Priests of Creation written by John Chryssavgis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a constructive reading of Scripture, the apostolic and patristic traditions and deeply rooted in the sacramental experience and spiritual ethos of the Orthodox Church, John Zizioulas offers a timely anthropological and cosmological perspective of human beings as “priests of creation” in addressing the current ecological crisis. Given the critical and urgent character of the global crisis and by adopting a clear line of argumentation, Zizioulas describes a vision based on a compassionate and incarnational conception of the human beings as liturgical beings, offering creation to God for the life of the world. He encourages the need for deeper interaction with modern science, from which theology stands to gain an appreciation of the interconnection of every aspect of materiality and life with humankind. The result is an articulate and promising vision that inspires a new ethos, or way of life, to overcome our alienation from the rest of creation.

The author focuses in particular on the physical restoration, the prophetic proclamation of the coming animal peace, the attitude of God and humanity towards animals, and the question of the relationship between biblical life, the future of animals, and vegetarianism.

Everyone wants to live a happy life - that is why he strives again wealth,honor, power, family, academic achievment, good healty, etc...But what one obtains from these things of the world is like mirage. The worldly happiness is only transitory and not of eternal nature. Human beings strive to grasp this elusive happiness only to fall down exhausted. At the end of the day when man is about to depart this life, he realizes and confesses that "life is futile." Then what makes Christian's life truly happy? The answer is to live according to the Creator's purpose oc creation. God created the world so that He will receive praise and glory. Since the purpose of creating us was such, we human beings can only be truly happy when we live according to this purpose of creation. Because this happiness is directly given by our Creator God, this joy from God is beyond human expression, and it is great, profound and eternal.

Tetapi seseorang yang mendapatkan hal-hal dari dunia ini adalah seperti khayalan belaka. Kebahagian dunia ini hanya bersifat sementara dan tidak abadi. Manusia berjuang untuk mendapatkan kebahagian semu tersebut, dan mereka akan menjadi penat/lelah. Pada akhirnya ketika manusia terpisah dari hidupnya, dia menyadari dan mengakui bahwa :hidup adalah sia-sia." Jadi apa yang membuat hidup seorang Kristen benar-benar bahagia? Jawabannya adalah hidup menurut tujuan penciptaan Sang Pencipta. Allah menciptakandunia agar Dia menerima pujian dan kemulian.
