Darwin in a New Key - Bok av William J Meyer - Häftad

Darwin in a New Key - Bok av William J Meyer - Häftad

Can one coherently integrate Darwin's view of evolution with an affirmation of the value of existence? In this fresh, lean, and substantive volume, William Meyer addresses this important question. By carefully analyzing Darwin's own writings and by drawing on the philosophical perspectives of William James, Alfred North Whitehead, and others, Meyer persuasively redirects the cultural conversation about Darwin away from the retrospective question of origins toward the prospective question concerning..

Power and the Powers - The Use and Abuse of Power in its Missional Context - Bok av Dr Andrew Hardy, Richard Whitehouse, m.fl. - Häftad

Power and the Powers - The Use and Abuse of Power in its Missional Context - Bok av Dr Andrew Hardy, Richard Whitehouse, m.fl. - Häftad

Missio Dei by its very nature requires the church to come to terms with the exercise of power, both internally and externally, as it confronts the world. Tune in to any newscast or glance at the daily newspaper and it immediately becomes clear that the use and abuse of power is a live issue. The more we focus on the twists and turns of current events, the more it appears that uncorrupted exercise of power eludes the human race. All too often we become uneasily aware that there are powers lying behind..

Power Made Perfect? - Bok av Timothy Sherratt - Häftad

Power Made Perfect? - Bok av Timothy Sherratt - Häftad

How would politics be different if Christians acknowledged Jesus Christ as the archetype of all rulers, democratic and nondemocratic? How would our practice of politics change if we recognized the suffering love of Christ as the truest exercise of power? Power Made Perfect? offers a distinctive approach to government and politics. It is important, the author argues, to ask how creation provides guidance for political conduct; for politics to be an exercise in piety; and to approach politics in a..

Worship and Power - Bok av Sarah Kathleen Johnson - Häftad

Worship and Power - Bok av Sarah Kathleen Johnson - Häftad

Christian worship emerges from and speaks back into human relationships that are necessarily shaped by power and authority. Free Churches structure and negotiate power in relation to worship in ways that reflect the decentralization, local diversity, and personal agency that characterize many aspects of Free Church theology and practice. This volume models how dialogue among scholars and practitioners of Free Church worship, as well as dialogue with the wider church, can be mutually enriching as..

Power of Popular Piety - Bok av Ambrose Mong - Häftad

Power of Popular Piety - Bok av Ambrose Mong - Häftad

This book examines the ambivalence of folk Catholicism as a resource to fight against injustice, exploitation, and oppression. Cases are cited to illuminate the value and potential trespasses of popular religious beliefs and practices. Over centuries, representatives of the powerful middle and upper middle classes did not hesitate to manipulate popular piety to protect their power and privileges. In fact, much of popular religion still reflects the dominant ideology. Popular piety has the potential..

Theology Beyond Metaphysics - Bok av Anthony Bartlett - Häftad

Theology Beyond Metaphysics - Bok av Anthony Bartlett - Häftad

A theory of human origins that is one-half Charles Darwin and one-half Cain and Abel is bound to entail a lot of rethinking of traditional themes. Rene Girard''s thesis of original human violence and the Bible''s power to reveal it has been around for more than a generation, but its consequences for Christian theology are still only slowly being unpacked. Anthony Bartlett''s book makes a signal contribution, representing an astonishing leap forward in understanding what a biblical disclosure of founding..

The Power of One - Bok av Anette Ejsing - Inbunden

We do not like to talk about loneliness. We like even less to talk about the fact that the experience that faith does not automatically heal it. This is a problem, but what if it does not have to be that way? What if we can tap into loneliness as a source of personal empowerment? In The Power of One, Anette Ejsing makes exactly this case. Relying on personal stories, she first shows why romantic, spiritual, and social loneliness are particularly difficult to understand in the context of Christian..

The Form and Power of Religion - Bok av Laura Bartels Felleman - Inbunden

The Form and Power of Religion - Bok av Laura Bartels Felleman - Inbunden

In \\Thoughts Upon Methodism,\\ John Wesley shared his hopes and fears for the future of his religious movement. The article contains this well-known passage: \\I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid, lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power. And this undoubtedly will be the case, unless they hold fast both the doctrine, spirit, and discipline with which they first..

And why is this fear described as \the power of the devil\? And most importantly, how are we--as individuals and as faith communities--to be set free from this slavery to death?In another creative interdisciplinary fusion,..

For Him Who Has Eyes to See - Bok av Edmund J Rybarczyk - Häftad

For Him Who Has Eyes to See - Bok av Edmund J Rybarczyk - Häftad

Too many Christians are afraid of beauty. This fear disconnects these Christians from their larger culture, a culture that is increasingly visual, increasingly aware of the presence and power of images, and more commonly fascinated by the power of beauty and form. This historical-theological overview presents the thought of ten theologians and one philosopher in an attempt to give Christians helpful vocabulary concerning beauty and aesthetics. It is time to use beauty and aesthetics for the mission..

War, Peace, and Reconciliation - Bok av Theodore R Weber - Häftad

War, Peace, and Reconciliation invites Christians and the churches into a conversation over how to think about war from a standpoint in faith. It asks how reconciliation, which is central to Christian life and doctrine, can engage the realities of war without surrendering its fundamental affirmations. It defines these realities politically by discussing the meanings of power, peace as a particular organization of power, and the international system. The study of war and politics is unavoidable, as..

Cultivating Reality - Bok av Ragan Sutterfield - Inbunden

Cultivating Reality - Bok av Ragan Sutterfield - Inbunden

We are, at our base, humus-beings. Our lives are dependent upon the soil and we flourish when we live in this reality. Unfortunately, we have been a part of a centuries-long push to build a new tower of Babel--an attempt to escape our basic dependence on the dirt. This escape has resulted in ecological disaster, unhealthy bodies, and broken communities. In answer to this denial, a habit of mind formed from working close with the soil offers us a way of thinking and seeing that enables us to see the..

The Power of Love for Reaching Out to the Other - Bok av Johnny Ramirez-Johnson - Häftad

In this book, Bible stories and principles are combined with four intercultural communication skills to help develop love of the other. This book builds on what Sherwood Lingenfelter and Marvin K. Mayers developed for understanding cultural values and diversity of likes and dislikes. Those differences are..

A Body Broken, A Body Betrayed - Bok av Mary McClintock Fulkerson & Marcia W Mount Shoop - Inbunden

Race and privilege are issues that cry out for new kinds of attention and healing in American society. More specifically, we are being called to surface the dynamics of whiteness especially in contexts where whites have had the most power in America. The church is one of those contexts--particularly churches that have traditionally been seen as the stalwarts of the American religious landscape: mainline Protestant churches.Theologians and Presbyterian ministers Mary McClintock Fulkerson and Marcia..
