Download or read book Symbolic Theology written by J. Parr and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symbolic Theology is a recreation of a sixth century manuscript written in Greek by the Irish monk, John of Ardmore, which has been sadly overlooked by historians. Writing at the same time as Boethius and Pseudo-Dionysius, John's work is an original synthesis of early Christian spirituality and Neoplatonic teaching. Fifteen hundred years on, the book's message can still resonate with a twenty-first century audience seeking a relationship with their Soul.
Download or read book Theological Symbolics Classic Reprint written by Charles Augustus Briggs and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theological Symbolics This book, undertaken by Dr. Briggs many years ago, was practically complete when his earthly service ended. It had been put in form for the printer, and in large part subjected to a final revision by his own hand. Since that hand was stilled, the process of verification has been carried through by his daughter - long a co-worker - Miss Emilie Grace Briggs, who has also charged herself with the necessary corrections as the book was going through the press. One to whom the teaching and the friendship of Dr. Briggs have been among the choice blessings of life has, likewise, read the proof. The volume has not been edited in any other sense than this. It is Dr. Briggs's own learning and his own convictions - deep and firm ones - that find expression in it. If he could have supervised the printing himself, he might have made minor alterations here and there, but the work represents his mature thought, and is substantially as he would have had it. No book on Symbolics will command universal assent until the unity of the Church of Christ, which was to Dr. Briggs an object of such intense desire, is actually realized. He designed this one as a means to that great end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Brief Systematic Theology of the Symbol written by Joshua Mobley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do Christians understand the Trinity? How does this understanding relate to other Christian teachings? In conversation with key thinkers in contemporary and classical theology, particularly Henri de Lubac, Karl Rahner, Thomas Aquinas and Augustine, this book argues that a theology of symbols can help us glimpse the mystery of the Trinity and see how this central Christian teaching corresponds to Christian understandings of creation, humanity and the church. A symbol is not here understood as an arbitrary sign, but as a sign that mediates the presence of the symbolized. Joshua Mobley examines the understanding of the Father as “symbolized” in the Son who is the “symbol” of the Father by the “symbolism” of the Spirit, the personal agent of unity between Father and Son. These trinitarian relations then structure creaturely relations to God: God is symbolized in creation, which is a symbol of God by participation in the Son, and the church is symbolism, the union of creation with God by the power of the Spirit. Mobley thus argues that a theology of symbol helps coordinate trinitarian theology with key themes in Christian dogmatics.

Download or read book The Language of Symbolism written by Pierre Grelot and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one describe God who is utterly other? Neither the concrete definitions of science nor the abstractions of philosophy can provide the words needed. Rather, the words the Bible uses to describe God spring from the mysteries of the human condition: figurative language, relationship language, even the language of imagination and mythology. Pierre Grelot examines the language of symbolism in the Bible, categorizing, explaining, and illuminating the Scriptural use of language to reveal God. The symbolic language used in the two Testaments of the Bible can suggest supernatural realities without having to define them. And the Bible is soaked in the supernatural: from the parting of the Red Sea and the guidance of God's chosen people through the wilderness, to the virgin birth, miracles, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In order to understand the Bible, it is not enough to understand dates, places, authors, and literary genre; we must also understand its language. This Bible's symbolic language is theological, but it is very distinctive from the theological language of Greco-Roman, medieval, or modern culture. best able to engage the cultures where the Christian faith is growing most rapidly today, such as those in Asia and in Africa. Indeed, such symbolic language may now also be well-suited to engaging Western societies, where a rationalist culture has dulled religious sensibilities. In proposing a way to classify the Bible's symbols, Grelot shows how its language works to make perceptible that which, in the purpose of God, cannot otherwise be explained.
Download or read book A Theological Examination of Symbolism in Ezekiel with Emphasis on the Shepherd Metaphor written by Joel K. T. Biwul and published by Langham Monographs. This book was released on 2013-12-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses one of the ever-aching problems of human society – failed leadership in secular and sacred domains. It points out, from Ezekiel’s use of symbolism and shepherd motif, what society stands to suffer and or lose under a bad human leadership structure and bad governance. This plays out in the book’s x-ray of the characteristics of sheep needing a shepherd. Dr. Biwul contends that Ezekiel used symbolic sign-acts to indict both Israel’s bad and imperfect human shepherds as well as the Babylonian exiles as being responsible for their plight for not upholding the norms of Deuteronomic theology. Particularly, he argues forcefully from Ezekiel’s shepherd motif that a major factor responsible for the exile of Israel as a covenant community is the massive failure of its bad and imperfect human shepherds who did not possess the requisite shepherding qualities inherent in Yahweh as chief shepherd of Israel. Biwul therefore draws particular attention to the reality of Ezekiel’s use of the recognition formula when Yahweh acts at last to restore his people. This is rooted in the theological-eschatological motif which would come to its full reality in the anticipated eschatological community when Yahweh would shepherd his people.

Download or read book The Truth of Broken Symbols written by Robert C. Neville and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a cross-cultural analysis of how religious symbols function from a theological and philosophical perspective. Showing how religious symbols can be true in various qualified senses, Neville presents a theory of religious symbolism in the American pragmatic tradition extending and elaborating Tillich's claim that religious symbols participate in the divine realities to which they refer and yet must be broken in order not to be idolatrous or demonic. The Truth of Broken Symbols offers a theory of religious symbolism treating reference, meaning, and interpretation, and discussing different functions of religious symbols in theological, practical, and devotional contexts. It shows that religious symbols are to be properly understood as true or false and that symbol-systems such as myths, theologies, or liturgical symbols are to be used to engage divine realities while internally exhibiting semiotic structures of reference, meaning, and interpretation.
Download or read book What Is Biblical Theology written by James M. Hamilton Jr. and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Bible just a random collection of old stories, or is there something more going on within the pages of Scripture? Is it possible that the ancient books of the Old and New Testaments are part of a single, unified story, begun long ago but extending into our world today? In this introduction to biblical theology, professor James Hamilton orients Bible readers afresh to the overarching story line of Scripture, helping Christians read and interpret the Bible as the biblical writers intended and as the early Christians read it. Examining Scripture's key symbols, patterns, and themes, Hamilton helps readers truly grasp—and be transformed by—the theology of redemption contained in God's Word.

Download or read book The Craft of Theology written by Avery Dulles and published by Crossroad Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Avery Dulles's theological career has spanned one of the most creative and confusing periods in the history of the church. With the goal of integrating new information from philosophy and the sciences into a deeper understanding of the world and society, the many theological schools pursued independent agendas, with the net effect of a loss of coherence. It is Fr. Dulles's contention that theological schools have drifted so far apart that what seems false and dangerous to one school seems almost self-evident to another. Theologians lack a common language, common goals, and common norms." "Exploring the possibilities for greater consensus, The Craft of Theology illustrates how a "post-critical" theology can draw on the riches of Scripture and tradition as it reflects on the faith of the church in new contexts. Fr. Dulles discusses the freedom of theology within the university and sets forth principles for a fresh dialogue with philosophy, the sciences, and other Christian churches."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Symbol and Sacrament written by Louis-Marie Chauvet and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work comes at an opportune hour: a time in which many complain that contemporary theology lacks a general theory of sacraments. Chauvet charts a reorientation in sacramental theology from the scholastic treatments, which appropriated the metaphysical categories of causality and substance to develop an essentially instrumentalist appreciation of grace, in favor of an approach through the category of symbol." In this approach the subject is as much "grasped" (and transformed) by the symbolic representation as is the object being interpreted. Chauvet commands a wealth of scholarship which he deploys to powerful effect. His work in developing a foundational theology of sacramentality will remain the standard for years to come. "
