Book Description
Today's modern Christian often struggles with overwhelming issues and questions at home, at work, in the marketplace, and within the depths of his or her own soul. Often these issues come in the form of attacks against positions we take when we speak God's truth into the lives of our loved one or our places of work. Many Christians have been trained to dialog with unbelievers on the big issues of apologetics, but few have been equipped with the less weighty but no less troublesome issues of everyday life. Dare to Be Dogmatic was written in the format of short essays to equip the reader in thinking through many of these issues. Many topics are covered that will prepare the reader to give an answer and a reason for the hope that is our in Christ Jesus (1 Peter 3:15). Some essays are fun, some a bit frivolous, but all have a point rooted in a Judeo-Christian and biblical worldview.

The Study of Dogmatic Theology
Author: Leo Tolstoy
Publisher: Livraria Press
ISBN: 3989888846
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
A new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. The Study of Dogmatic Theology (Исследование догматического богословия) - Published in 1884, The Study of Dogmatic Theology represents Leo Tolstoy's exploration of religious doctrines and theological principles that have long shaped Christian belief systems. In this work, Tolstoy critically examines the dogmas of the Orthodox Church and other Christian traditions, questioning their legitimacy and relevance in contemporary society. By offering an alternative perspective on spirituality centred on love, compassion and the teachings of Christ, Tolstoy contributes to the ongoing discourse on the nature of true faith. The book's significance lies in its ability to provoke thought and debate about the nature of religious institutions and their role in individual and community life. A pivotal moment in Tolstoy's own spiritual transformation, this work marks a turning point in the author's philosophical journey and continues to inspire readers to question established religious structures and seek a more authentic, compassionate spirituality.

Protestant Modernist Pamphlets
Author: Edward B. Davis
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421449838
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
A critical edition of ten rare pamphlets on science and religion published from 1922–1931 by the University of Chicago Divinity School. In the years surrounding the Scopes trial in 1925, liberal Protestant scientists, theologians, and clergy sought to diminish opposition to evolution and to persuade American Christians to adopt more positive attitudes toward modern science. With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and many leading scientists, the University of Chicago Divinity School published a series of ten pamphlets on science and religion to counter William Jennings Bryan's efforts to ban evolution in public schools. In Protestant Modernist Pamphlets, historian Edward B. Davis, who discovered these pamphlets, reprints them with extensive editorial comments, annotations, and introductions to each. Based on unpublished correspondence and internal Divinity School documents, these introductions narrate the origin of the pamphlets, as well as their funding sources and how readers reacted to them. Letters from dozens of top scientists at the time reveal their previously unknown views on God and the relationship between science and religion. Viewed together, the pamphlets and Davis's critical assessment of their historical importance provide an intriguing perspective on Protestant modernist encounters with science in the early twentieth century.

The Urantia Papers
Author: Unknown
Publisher: tredition
ISBN: 3347631226
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 3323
Book Description
The Urantia Papers - Unknown - The Urantia Papers is a spiritual and philosophical book that originated in Chicago sometime between 1924 and 1955. The authorship remains a matter of speculation. The authors introduce the word Urantia as the name of the planet Earth and state that their intent is to present enlarged concepts and advanced truth. The book aims to unite religion, science and philosophy, and its enormous amount of material about science is unique among literature claimed to be presented by celestial beings. Among other topics, the book discusses the origin and meaning of life, mankind's place in the universe, the relationship between God and people, and the life of Jesus. It has been described as a rich and complex moral narrative, equal parts Tolkien and St. Paul.

Poetry and Personality
Author: Steven Jay Van Zoeren
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804718547
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This is a history of the hermeneutics of China's earliest classic, the Book of Odes, which was probably compiled about the 6th century BC. Neither a reading of the Odes as such, nor yet a history of their interpretation, this study attempts rather to trace the principles that guided the interpretation of the Odes over some two thousand years of Chinese history. The book begins by tracing the rise and development in China of the disposition to treat certain 'classical' texts as the ultimate repositories of the culture's values and norms, a disposition that was to shape the political, social, and cultural institutions of traditional China. A notable example was the examination system, which tested candidates for state office on their knowledge of the canon, in the process making questions concerning the interpretation of the canon prominent in public as well as in private life. The author then describes the emergence of the distinctive and influential hermeneutic associated with the Odes.
