Download or read book The Whole Mystery of Christ written by Jordan Daniel Wood and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoroughgoing examination of Maximus Confessor’s singular theological vision through the prism of Christ’s cosmic and historical Incarnation. Jordan Daniel Wood changes the trajectory of patristic scholarship with this comprehensive historical and systematic study of one of the most creative and profound thinkers of the patristic era: Maximus Confessor (560–662 CE). Wood's panoramic vantage on Maximus’s thought emulates the theological depth of Hans Urs von Balthasar’s Cosmic Liturgy while also serving as a corrective to that classic text. Maximus's theological vision may be summed up in his enigmatic assertion that “the Word of God, very God, wills always and in all things to actualize the mystery of his Incarnation.” The Whole Mystery of Christ sets out to explicate this claim. Attentive to the various contexts in which Maximus thought and wrote—including the wisdom of earlier church fathers, conciliar developments in Christological and Trinitarian doctrine, monastic and ascetic ways of life, and prominent contemporary philosophical traditions—the book explores the relations between God’s act of creation and the Word’s historical Incarnation, between the analogy of being and Christology, and between history and the Fall, in addition to treating such topics as grace, deification, theological predication, and the ontology of nature versus personhood. Perhaps uniquely among Christian thinkers, Wood argues, Maximus envisions creatio ex nihilo as creatio ex Deo in the event of the Word’s kenosis: the mystery of Christ is the revealed identity of the Word’s historical and cosmic Incarnation. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of patristics, historical theology, systematic theology, and Byzantine studies.
Download or read book The Mystery of the Gospel written by Evangelist Victor A. Sackey and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystery of the Gospel: Revealing the First Century Truths About the Kingdom of God is an attempt to expose the messages of the coming kingdom of God to earth, which Christ brought down from the Father unto mankind. This knowledge is not known by majority of professing Christendom, but God wants the latter to be encompassed by the truth because it is evident that there is an undeniable force, power, and sovereignty of the Spirit of God moving within the true church of God and also the end-time charismatic movement of Christians. The coming of Christ and his establishment of the church of God became the standard and benchmark for living the Christian life at the time. However, due to opposing forces to the church of God and the first followers of Christ, the truth became suppressed. In other words, the first-century message and essence of the coming of Christ to proclaim his coming kingdom became lost or seriously flawed. Fortunately, Christ gave a promise concerning his church. He said, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Despite the continuous existence of Gods true church, God is still real and moving in the lives of all professing Christians who are in the majority but are ignorant of the existence of the true church of God. God is not out to save all of humanity in this lifetime but will introduce and reeducate humanity to the laws and government of heaven in the millennial rule of Christ here on earth. God is a family, and as Christ is the firstborn of many brethren, so shall the first-fruit saints be called, begotten, and then born or resurrected as sons and daughters, and the rest of the professing Christians as the children being re-taught the truths, laws, statutes, and commandments of God in the kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Rohr, internationally known retreat leader, speaker and writer, plumbs the depths of the Job's story and its relevance for us today.

In this invigorating exploration, the tension between suffering and faith becomes a powerful means to an authentic, open connection with the divine.
Download or read book Mystery of the Christ written by Oskar Kürten and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is the Christ? What is the 'Sun-spirit'? How should we understand the person of Jesus in relation to the Cosmic Christ, or even to the Holy Trinity? In a majestic overview of Rudolf Steiner's extensive references to Christ and Jesus, originally dispersed throughout his many writings and lectures, Oskar Kürten creates a mutually reconcilable and coherent text. We are invited to accompany the author as he attempts to comprehend the unimaginably vast enigma of Christ's appearance on Earth. The results of his work can sometimes be overwhelming, but as Kürten points out: 'humanity is always advancing in its intellectual and spiritual culture, and each step poses higher demands on our capacity to understand'. In a volume comprising three previously-untranslated booklets, composed originally as study material for people conversant with the fundamentals of anthroposophy, Mystery of the Christ gives numerous pointers to great mysteries, inviting readers to penetrate ever more deeply into the inexhaustible subject-matter. As Kürten states, this approach enables us 'again and again to find surprisingly new insights into the mysterious interconnections in which Christ's entry into earth-existence and the Mystery of Golgotha are placed'.

Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
Download or read book Transformation in Christ written by David A. Ackerman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Paul used language similar to the religions and cultures of his time, he had a unique understanding of the “mystery” of God. The once-hidden plan of God was revealed and fulfilled in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Saul of Tarsus experienced a fundamental change when he encountered the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus. This vision gave him new direction and purpose and profoundly changed his understanding of God’s plan for humanity. Paul often uses the phrase “in Christ” or its variations to describe this plan. Being in Christ results in transformation into Christ’s likeness of holiness and love through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Those in Christ form a new community that crosses ethnic barriers, is bound together in fellowship with the Triune God, and fulfills its purpose of holiness before him. Paul’s answer to the struggles people face is simple: when one is united with Christ by dying to the old self and committing to his supremacy, one will find victory over any force opposed to us in this world. This book explores one of the most profound claims in the New Testament that demands a response of its readers.
Download or read book Approaching the Mystery of Golgotha written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2009-04-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Truths cannot be transmitted simply as stable dogmas. Truths are always of a given moment and, at each moment, must be grasped anew. This demands at each moment a renewed activity in relation to the human gift of understanding." -- Jörgen Smit (from the foreword) The goal of this study is to cultivate the experience of living, intuitive thinking, such as we experience with every new understanding. As Kühlewind puts it, this unique contribution to practice of anthroposophy has a twofold purpose: "to stimulate working with spiritual science through exercises, and to stimulate independent new formulations of its content on the basis of experience." Working with Anthroposophy will help guide beginning students and inspire longtime students of the path opened up by Rudolf Steiner. As with all of Kühlewind's works, this book opens new insights with each reading.

Download or read book The Mystery of the Cross and the Narrow Gate Revealed What the Bible Really Says written by Michael J. Roberts and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystery of the Cross and the Narrow Gate Revealed is a search to reconcile apparent contradictions in the Bible, especially those passages pertaining to salvation. Beginning with the premise of the infallibility of the Bible, it argues that both the Reformers understanding of the atonement and their doctrine of salvation are invalid, since they are contradicted by numerous scriptures. In the end, the result of this search is a new understanding of both the atonement and salvation and the development of doctrines on these subjects, which will enable us to read canonically without seeing contradictions. Through faith and reason, a sound hermeneutic and careful exegesis, The Mystery of the Cross and the Narrow Gate uncovers the internal coherence of scripture, with the principal objective of restoring truth and bringing reform to a church that fails to grasp that the Holy Spirit is given to humankind to enable us to become holy and be made fit for the kingdom in heaven-refer www.themysteryofthecross.com.

Download or read book Unlocking the Mystery of Christ written by Kluane Spake and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The questions we must begin with are, Who is God? Who is Christ? I thought I knew... after preaching my whole adult life--but WHAT IF I LOOKED AGAIN? Is Jesus the same as Christ? It has bothered me since I first believed. Who is Christ? That is, as Paul said, a massive mystery - and an ever-revealing one at that. This revelation of this portion of this book can change your life every day! In Jewish tradition, Christ (Messiah, Anointed One) was Who was and is to come. The Hebrew Word means Messiah or Mashiach. The Greek word Christ is christos, and is not actually a translation of the word, but a transliteration. The Greek word christos was changed into the English word Christ. The same is true of the Hebrew equivalent, Messiah (Mashiach). JESUS' LAST NAME WAS NOT CHRIST. The revealing of this Christ is a great mystery. CHRIST is the Hebrew word mesach, meaning "the anointed" one, or Messiah. Christ was not the last name of Jesus. Christ is the anointed of God - it is the application of His CHOOSENESS and anointing to bring forth His purpose on earth. This positional force reveals that all is anointed - and all is containing IN Him. Christ The Anointed- God's ChoosinessAccording to Paul, CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD! Who is Christ?Anointing = to smear with heavy oilCHRIST = anointed one, anointed Anti-Christ =anything against anointing Christ = The appointed or Anointed One of God that will accomplish His intentions on earth.Anointings in the Old Testament were for certain purposes as follows:ANOINTING & DEDICATED FOR GOD'S USE: After completion, God told Moses, "Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy" (Ex, 40:9, NIV).Examining the meaning of the title CHRIST expands our understanding of Who Jesus Is/Was. This is an amazing study that will change your spiritual perspective.In the New Testament, the word Christ was used ONLY to define JESUS. Paul amplifies the term to include those who followed Him as being Christ-ians (Gal. 3:27; Eph 3:4). As we know, Jesus was born in a lowly manger - how could He be the Messiah that Israel had waited to receive? They expected the immediate fulfillment of Old Testament Scripture - to see a King with a physical Kingdom to rule here on earth. They were out of touch with Who He would be.The Jews of that day expected a Messiah (Jn. 4:25). They long awaited the Anointed One - and that is why they thought they understood what the role of the Messiah would be. But Jesus did not fit their expectations. Where was the Prince, Lawgiver, Judge, King, Prophet who would rule them? However, for centuries the Jews used the term moshiach ("anointed") to refer to their expected deliverer.[What we see what they believe is right, GOD IS ONE.Jesus Christ, the SON is what the Jews are waiting for... The ONENESS of the Manifestation of the Glory of God.In pre-existence, THE SON had unlimited reach (metron). As a Human Being, Jesus came to Israel to be their Savior, but His reach was far greater than any other human - and yet limited by His humanity.
