Book Description
The reality of suffering in today's world, in our personal lives, is for many especially Western Christians an obstacle for entering into a relationship of faith with the One who bears the name "Almighty". Touched by this crisis the author inquires whether the theology of Thomas Aquinas (1224/5 - 1274) can help us find a way out. In this book some distance is taken from the crisis itself, in order to take a closer look at our faith regarding Christ's sufferings and how God almighty is related to these nexus mysteriorum. For what is more obvious for a Christian thinking about suffering and God's relation to it, to start with the consideration of the sufferings of Christ and how God is related to them? Questions like "Did and/or does God suffer too?", "How are we to understand 'God is love' (1 Jn 4,8, 16) in view of this?" and "What do Christians actually mean by the word 'almighty'?" are dealt with. Thomas' questions and associations may often not be ours. And yet it turns out that his approach opens up new, or rather (almost) forgotten and therefore to us surprising, and hopeful perspectives. Mark-Robin Hoogland C.P. (1969) is a Passionist priest. At the time of preparation for this dissertation he lived and worked in the Passionist Inner City Mission at East End London (U.K.) and he was active in youth work there and in The Hague (the Netherlands). While he was a resaerch-fellow at the Catholic Theological University (KTU) at Utrecht, he also worked for three years at Mesos Medical Centre at Utrecht as a hospital chaplain and after that in several parishes where for a shorter or longer time no priest was available. At present he is preparing a study on Thomas Aquinas regarding God and human suffering, in the context of Stauros International, a Passionist Institute.

Our Passion, God's Power
Author: Adam Meisberger
Publisher: CrossBooks Publishing
ISBN: 9781462729289
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
We are living in dangerous and scary times. Christians are growing cold and losing faith in the truth, and this is leading to a lack of power among them. Author Adam Meisberger believes something needs to change. In Our Passion, God's Power, he discusses how Christians today are living unfulfilled lives and shows that the key for fulfillment revolves around finding a renewed, undying, and full-fledged passion for God. This passion can help Christians feel the real power of God in their everyday lives. Meisberger explains how there is much more to being a Christian than most people realize-God has given His people real and true power to transform. Our Passion, God's Power communicates that being a Christian involves more than just going through the motions of religion. God has something else in store; He desires to mold and shape His followers into the image of Jesus Christ. In order for this to happen, however, Christians must seek Him earnestly, go deeper in their faith, and hunger and thirst for His righteousness. We need to undergo change in our hearts.
