Spirit and Nature Wipf & Stock Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Description: Spirit and Nature is a collection of essays exploring how the resources of Christian spirituality can inform the practice of a more ecologically sustainable faith. Our current ecological situation calls for people of religious faith to reexamine the way they envision the practice of spirituality. As environmental ethicists have called us to reconsider the human-Earth relationship so that the planet is not seen as simply an endless supply of resources to fill human wants and needs, so these essays call us to reconsider spiritual practice as it relates to Earth's ecology. Rather than viewing spirituality as an escape from the material world, the authors describe the embodiment of the God-quest within the human-nature relationship. Drawing on diverse disciplinary perspectives, these essays examine a variety of topics, including the relationship between Earth and humans in the Bible, the role of nature's beauty in Christian spirituality, the practice of Christian discernment and contemplation in light of the natural sciences, the role of nature in liturgical prayer, and others. These essays consider how scholarship in Christian spirituality can contribute to re-imaging faith in ways that better cherish the Earth's fragile beauty. Endorsements: ""This collection of essays contains something to please everybody interested in ecological spirituality, regardless of their background. For scientists, reflections on Loren Eisley and Aldo Leopold, for artists thoughts on Emily Carr, for readers with a theological background, sections on Alice Walker's fluid spirituality, the Hebrew Bible's view of creation, liturgy in the face of ecological tragedy, Athanasius' Life of Antony, and more. This all constitutes a colorful intellectual quilt well worth reading."" --Steven A. Kolmes University of Portland ""What does the discipline of Christian spirituality contribute to twenty-first-century urgency toward sustaining the life of the earth? From a rereading of the Bible and retrieval of resources in Christian history, to engagement with contemporary scientists, writers, artists, and activists, this volume's essays stretch readers into transformative new engagement with the tradition, in love of the earth."" --Lisa E. Dahill Trinity Lutheran Seminary ""It is difficult to imagine anyone reading this book and remaining unmoved by its powerful witness to the emergence of a distinctively Christian, ecological spirituality. The historical and theological breadth and interdisciplinary rigor of these essays consistently point toward a truth that has too long been obscured from view--that Christian spiritual practice is inconceivable apart from careful and sustained attention to the living world."" --Douglas Burton-Christie Loyola-Marymount University ""Through Spirit and Nature, the editors and authors invite us to take a clearer, deeper, and more sustained look at the Divine web that binds us to God, each other, and all of nature. We learn from Irenaeus of Lyons that 'the glory of God is the human person fully alive,' but Spirit and Nature helps us see a truth even more profound: that God's glory is a creation fully alive and flourishing. This collection is urgent and indispensible for all who study and teach Christian spirituality."" --Sam Hamilton-Poore San Francisco Theological Seminary About the Contributor(s): Timothy Hessel-Robinson is Alberta and Harold Lunger Assistant Professor of Spiritual Resources and Disciplines at Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University. Ray Maria McNamara, RSM, is Director of Mission Advancement for the Sisters of Mercy. She previously taught theology and spirituality at the University of Portland.

God We Never Knew Harper Collins Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Answering the many "spiritual" questions left unaddressed by such popular historical bestsellers as "A History of God" and "God: A Biography," renowned author Marcus Borg reveals how to embrace an authentic contemporary faith that reconciles God with science, critical thinking and religious pluralism. How to have faith-- how to even think about God-- without having to stifle modern rationality is one of the most vital challenges facing contemporary religion. In providing a much-needed solution to the problem of how to have a fully authentic yet fully contemporary understanding of God, Borg-- author of the bestselling "Meeting Jesus Again for the first Time" --traces his personal journey. He leads readers from the all-powerful and authoritarian God of his (and their) childhood and traditional faith to an equally powerful but dynamic image of God that is relevant to contemporary seekers and more biblical and spiritually authentic. Borg shows how the modern crisis of faith is itself rooted in delusion-- misinterpretation of biblical texts and of God's true nature-- and challenges readers to a new way of thinking about God. He opens a practical discussion about how to base a relationship with the divine both immanent and transcendant, here and now, always and everywhere. Arguing that the authentic Judeo-Christian tradition is that God's being includes the whole world, Borg persuasively shows how this understanding accounts for the whole variety of human religious experience. Ultimately, he introduces readers to a way of thinking about God who is "right here" all around them, rather than distant and remote. This understanding is more intellectually and spiritually satisfying andallows readers to reclaim a stronger sense of God's presence.

An inspired gathering of religious writings that reveals the "divine reality" common to all faiths, collected by Aldous Huxley "The Perennial Philosophy," Aldous Huxley writes, "may be found among the traditional lore of peoples in every region of the world, and in its fully developed forms it has a place in every one of the higher religions." With great wit and stunning intellect--drawing on a diverse array of faiths, including Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christian mysticism, and Islam--Huxley examines the spiritual beliefs of various religious traditions and explains how they are united by a common human yearning to experience the divine. "The Perennial Philosophy" includes selections from Meister Eckhart, Rumi, and Lao Tzu, as well as the Bhagavad Gita, Tibetan Book of the Dead, Diamond Sutra, and Upanishads, among many others.

God's Shining Forth Pickwick Publications

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

God's Shining Forth offers a theological presentation of divine light in which the leading motif is the doctrine of the Trinity. More precisely, this study is organized around a double trinitarian theme: God is light in himself, and from himself God is radiant in relation to human creatures. This double affirmation is expounded by considering its extensions in the work of God's grace, in ecclesiology, and in the nature of theological intelligence. The chosen conversation partners in this study are some of the leading pro-Nicene trinitarian theologians of the fourth century, plus John Calvin, Karl Barth, and a selection of contemporary authors. Andrew Hay argues that the scriptural statement ""God is light"" is best understood as a confession of the eternal, fully realized life of the triune God in its wholly gratuitous electing, reconciling, and illuminating human creatures in the darkness of sin and death. FOR BACK COVER: ""Through a careful assessment of key biblical and traditional sources, Hay divulges the relevance of the 'light' to current theological questions, opening doors for the recovery of this important concept. A valuable and commendable theological enterprise!"" --Lydia Schumacher, King's College London   ""Students of almost any Christian discipline will be rewarded for time spent in this penetrating study that cannot but leave one humbled, hopeful, worshipful, and praying. It models what theology ought to be."" --Don J. Payne, Denver Seminary   ""God's Shining Forth is a very remarkable book. It stands firmly in the tradition of Protestant orthodoxy and demonstrates its richness. . . . In all this [Hay] manifests deep and charitable learning. The central theme--God's radiant shining forth as light--develops a central confession of the Nicene Creed, of Jesus Christ as 'Light from Light.' The theme of light is also central to the tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy, as Hay is well aware, so that this book is very much an ecumenical challenge. . . . This is a timely and powerful book."" --Andrew Louth, Durham University FOR FRONT MATTER: ""Throughout the early history of the Christian church, light remained a popular motif for explaining God's nature and his work in the world and especially to redeem humanity from the darkness of sin. In contemporary theology, however, the rich resources of this motif have been under-explored. Through a careful assessment of key biblical and traditional sources, Hay divulges the relevance of the 'light' to current theological questions, opening doors for the recovery of this important concept. A valuable and commendable theological enterprise!"" --Lydia Schumacher, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Theology and Religious Studies, King's College London   ""How for so long have I missed the significance of 'light' as an interpretive catalyst throughout Scripture and theology? Andrew Hay's rigorous study offers chastening and enlivening implications for themes such as the nature of God, ecclesiology, mission, and theological method. Students of almost any Christian discipline will be rewarded for time spent in this penetrating study that cannot but leave one humbled, hopeful, worshipful, and praying. It models what theology ought to be."" --Don J. Payne, PhD, Associate Professor of Theology and Christian Formation, Chair, Division of Christian Thought, Denver Seminary   ""God's Shining Forth is a very remarkable book. It stands firmly in the tradition of Protestant orthodoxy and demonstrates its richness, drawing on the fathers and Western scholasticism, as well as the magisterial reformers, Luther and Calvin, and the great Protestant scholastics, scarcely known nowadays, even by name, as well as Jonathan Edwards, and more recent Prote

The Essentials of Business Administration LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The central theoretical point of view in this book is that administration is an inevitable adventure. All humans are unconsciously involved in it on daily basis - beginning from home to the church, business organization and to the larger society. All persons therefore, ought to be fully acquainted with the knitty-gritty of home and business management. In the light of the Scripture, all persons who are managers and administrators ought to reverence God as the Chief Administrator. As such, all human beings as God's creation in His image have no rights to ignore God in the process of administering the available human and material resources for any specific goals whatsoever. In reality, man's genuine success in administration is dependent on the Spirit of God, the Word of God and the know-how. More so, the fact that God is an Omniscient obligates everyone to seek divine help from Him for administrative successes.

Future Of Man Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"The Future of Man is a magnificent introduction to the thoughts and writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, one of the few figures in the history of the Catholic Church to achieve renown as both a scientist and a theologian. Trained as a paleontologist and ordained as a Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin devoted himself to establishing the intimate, interdependent connection between science--particularly the theory of evolution--and the basic tenets of the Christian faith. At the center of his philosophy was the belief that the human species is evolving spiritually, progressing from a simple faith to higher and higher forms of consciousness, including a consciousness of God, and culminating in the ultimate understanding of humankind's place and purpose in the universe. The Church, which would not condone his philosophical writings, refused to allow their publication during his lifetime. Written over a period of thirty years and presented here in chronological order, the essays cover the wide-ranging interests and inquiries that engaged Teilhard de Chardin throughout his life: intellectual and social evolution; the coming of ultra-humanity; the integral place of faith in God in the advancement of science; and the impact of scientific discoveries on traditional religious dogma. Less formal than "The Phenomenon of Man and "The Divine Milieu, Teilhard de Chardin's most renowned works, The Future of Man offers a complete, fully accessible look at the genesis of ideas that continue to reverberate in both the scientific and the religious communities.
