Download or read book Theology from the Womb of Asia written by C.S. Song and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-07-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 'Theology from the Womb of Asia', Song continues to demonstrate that he is one of the most creative and important theologians of our time. He forces us to expand the horizons of our theological vision, not only by drawing on the resources of Asian thought and experience, but also by insisting that we do theology with passion. Here he offers images, fables, poems, parables, and visions, woven together with his own compelling prose. The biblical stories with which we thought we were familiar become new and more compelling stories when we revisit them with this able and wise guide. And our whole approach to life and living is transformed by the freshness he breathes into all that he surveys with us. --Robert McAfee Brown, Professor Emeritus of Theology and Ethics, Pacific School of Religion In 'Theology from the Womb of Asia', C. S. Song shows how the story of God's compassion in Jesus and the many heartrending stories and poems of the Asian people are reaching out towards each other. Doing theology in this perspective is not a matter of application of doctrine, but of recognition of a relation between the suffering God and suffering humanity, which transcends many artificial and alienating distinctions. The book is an appeal to Asian theologians, but at the same time a necessary challenge to a Western academic theology and missionary thinking. --Bert Hoedemaker, Professor of Missions and Christian Ethics, University of Groningen, the Netherlands A splendid example of doing theology with Asian resources. A breath of fresh air to liven up traditional theology, using original reflections and observations with the backing of close knowledge of traditional theology. A book no theological college can do without. --Yeow Choo Lak, The South East Asia Graduate School of Theology, Singapore C. S. Song is Professor of Theology and Asian Cultures at Pacific School of Religion. His recent publications include 'The Believing Heart'.
Download or read book Plato s Third Eye written by Michael J.B. Allen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) was one of the luminaries of the Florentine Renaissance and the scholar responsible for the revival of Platonism. The translator and interpreter of the works of both Plato and Plotinus as well as of various Hermetic and Neoplatonic texts, Ficino was also a musician, priest, magus and psychotherapist, an original philosopher and the author of a vast and important correspondence with the intellectual figures of his day including Lorenzo the Magnificent. Professor Allen has become the foremost interpreter of Ficino’s metaphysics and mythology, and the ancient sources they draw upon; and this collection of essays assembles his work on Ficino’s complex interrogation of Platonic 'theology’ as not only a preparation for Christianity but as an enduring medium for intellectuals to explore and to express Christian truths.

Download or read book Third Eye Awakening written by Jessica Harris and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third eye is not some mystical discovery that has happened in the past few decades. If you look into the history and practices of various cultures and religions around the world, there is mention of the third eye. Under the Taoist way of living, for example, there is an emphasis on connecting with oneself spiritually by opening the third eye. The Christian Bible also mentions the third eye-but it recommends and even condemns trying to open it. While the intentions and 'goodness' of the third eye are disputed, this makes it clear at the very least that it is a real, studied thing. The third eye that is spoken of in religions, cultures, and meditative practices is the pineal gland. Symbolically, the third eye is a single eye that exists on the forehead. It is positioned between the two eyebrows. It is said that by creating the connection between the third eye and the mind, we connect with our inner selves and the outside world. One of the earliest references to the third eye in the Bible is in Matthew 6:22, where it is said 'If thine eye is single the whole body shall be full of light'. Though this comes across as positive, the text further goes on to discuss the connection to the third eye as having the potential to be one of light or darkness, depending on if the intentions of the eye opener are good or evil. However, later in the Bible, passages in Leviticus, Chronicles, Romans, John, and Ephesians go against this idea that the third eye may be good or evil. It is even said that those who practice acts of the third eye like fortune telling and the like should be punished by death, as well as those who have chosen to associate with them. Eventually, the earlier support for the third eye is explained-the third eye or sixth sense that is spoken of is a connection to the Holy Spirit, and it is this spirit that should be used for guidance. This taking in of the Holy Spirit should be so much that it fills, which keeps out the evil spirits because there is no room for them. It is common to hear the third eye referred to as a chakra, with it being one of seven that are found at various points in the body. These chakras align with the unified field theory and ideas presented in quantum physics-that humans are not single entities but instead made up of atoms and molecules that have aggregated together. Each 'human' entity is just a physical body that has been assigned to contain the seven chakras. The chakras explain different energy centers found in the body, each of them with its own location and 'color'. Many cultures believe that the flow of energy is important to health-that is why treatments which align 'qi' or energy like Reiki and acupuncture are used to treat some conditions, according to traditional medicine practices. It has been used for high blood pressure, pain in the joints, back, or anywhere else, migraines, and more. In this book, you will learn more about: How to open your third eye Healing mind and body through meditation The ways to protect yourself during third eye activation Chakras yoga Experiences after the opening of the third eye The powers of an open third eye Using crystals, oils, plants, and other tools for chakra healing Setting the environment for third eye meditation Other practical advice for opening the third eye Balancing chakras Finding happiness through your spirit Interacting with the third eye Meditation and the third eye ...

Download or read book The Peacock s Tail Feathers Reading the Bible the Celtic Way written by Kenneth McIntosh and published by Harding House Publishing, Incorporated/Anamcharabooks. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how the ancient Christian Celts read the Bible-and discover new ways to understand the sacred Scriptures today. The Celts' perspectives on the Bible were far less literal than many modern viewpoints, and yet at the same time, they treasured even deeper layers of meaning than are familiar to most twenty-first century readers. For the Celts, Scripture was a wondrous treasure trove of metaphor and meaning, stories and symbols, all pointing to the loving Mystery that weaves through all Reality. "At certain points while reading this book, I could just nod my head, seeing in print things that I have felt deeply but had never put into words. At other points I was stopped in my tracks, reading something that seemed so simple, yet so profound. There were times I had to stop and re-read the same paragraph several times, not because it was too difficult to understand, but because there was so much packed into just a few sentences." -Steve Robinson, Wolf Mountain Books "A very good introduction to how the Celtic followers of Jesus read and saw the Bible. I highly recommend it. Ken's writing style is really easy to follow-which is saying a lot for such a vast and complex topic." -Jack Gillespie, Celtic priest in the Lindisfarne Community

Book excerpt: The project of constructing Asian irregular theology in East Asian perspective, based on life-word of Bamboo and social political reality of minjung, embraces Dr. Chung s cross-cultural existence as he develops his long-standing interest and expertise in Christian minjung theology in new ways with the image of bamboo as a symbol for the theological perspective of grass roots marginality. Using the ancient Chinese story The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, Dr. Chung engages with Christian eschatological discourse to support an aesthetical-utopian theological ethics that is opposed to an ethics concerned with legitimation of a socio-economic status quo. In addition, Dr. Chung s develops his deep commitment to the Lutheran theology of the cross and the suffering Christ through the Buddhist concept of dukkha (suffering) to create, in the end, a genuinely East Asian contextual theology

This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, an attempt is undertaken to highlight the genesis, progress, and transformation of Asian contextual theology of minjung, introducing its historical point of departure, its development, and its transformation in light of younger Korean and Korean American scholars' endeavors. In this regard, the new Asian contextual theology, which is emerging, strives to integrate both minjung and the wisdom of World Religions into its own framework and direction, assuming the character of a public theology and remaining humble and open before God's mystery while featuring its association with minjung in a holistic way.
