Book Description
God’s Agenda - Religious Poems: Vol 1 By Richard I. Gold God’s Agenda - Religious Poems contains a number of poems about God, Jesus Christ, our relationship with God, and our relationship with our fellow men, all in accordance with the Bible. At several points, two or more poems have the same title, but they were kept in because they are different poems. In other cases, several poems may appear to be somewhat similar; however, the focus is slightly different. Sometimes, a poem may require several readings to get the full meaning. At times, the meaning may be more than the author put into them and the reader may find some ideas which will benefit him or her. In all cases, the meaning of the poem should be taken to help build our faith and hope for the future, both in this life and when we have crossed to the other side. Remember, if we have a loved one who has passed on and is in the next life, they are in a better and more fulfilling place. It is well that we mourn for them, but this should be for our lack of seeing them, not for the fate of the loved one.

Approaches to Religion and Mythology in Celtic Studies
Author: Alexandra Bergholm
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443808768
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This publication is the first interdisciplinary collection of articles focusing on religion and mythology in Celtic studies. The first part presents various current viewpoints within the field from scholars of history, art history and literary studies. In addition to more traditional approaches, the other two parts of the book illustrate the possibilities of applying new theories and methods from the discipline of Comparative Religion to the analysis of Celtic materials. They introduce previously unpublished results of the international research network “The Power of Words in Traditional European Cultures”, and the research project “Religion, Society, and Culture: Defining the Sacred in Early Irish Literature” funded by the Academy of Finland at University of Helsinki. The present collection serves as a significant contribution towards a better understanding of issues that have not been previously brought together in a single volume. As such it is of interest to scholars in Celtic studies as well as other related disciplines.

Religion as Poetry
Author: Andrew M. Greeley
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351493779
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Religion as Poetry continues in the grand tradition of the sociology of religion pioneered by Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Talcott Parsons, among other giants in intellectual history. Too many present-day sociologists either ignore or disparage religious currents. In this provocative book, Andrew M. Greeley argues that various religions have endured for thousands of years as poetic rituals and stories. Religion as Poetry proposes a theoretical framework for understanding religion that emphasizes insights derived from religious stories. By virtue of his own rare abilities as a novelist as well as sociologist, Greeley is uniquely qualified for this task.Greeley first considers classical theories of the sociology of religion, and then, drawing upon them, he explicates his own interpretation. He critically examines the viewpoint that society is becoming more secular, and that religion is declining. He observes that this theory stands in the way of persuading sociologists that religion is still worth studying. In contrast, Greeley is interested in why religions persist despite secular trends and alongside them. He argues that it is poetic elements that touch the human soul. Greeley then sets out to test this viewpoint.Greeley maintains that his theory is not the only, or necessarily even the best approach to study religion. Rather, it is his contention that it uniquely provides sociologists with perspectives on religion that other theories too often overlook or disregard. Religion as Poetry, an original and intriguing study by a distinguished social scientist and major novelist, will be enjoyed and evaluated by sociologists, ' theologians, and philosophers alike.

Praying in God’s Will
Author: Morgan Kizer
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664293655
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
This is a Scriptural based book on prayer. It cites over 200 references in both the New and Old Testaments. The Bible has much to say about prayer. It is a very important topic. This book answers many questions that believers have about prayer. Why their prayers are not answered. Which prayers are always answered. It explains how to pray. Where to pray. How often one should pray. When to decline praying and numerous Scriptural details that can help an individual’s prayer life. Prayer is a significant part of a believer’s relationship with the Father. It also discusses the things that have produced ineffective prayers. The key problem with most people’s prayers is unforgiven sins. The solution is both simple and complex: sincerely praying forgiveness prayers. The author identifies three basic prayers that when prayed correctly and sincerely are always answered in the affirmative. God expects us to be honest with Him. The key is Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane: Matthew 26:39-44 When Jesus was facing a terrible death on the cross He asked if possible that the Father would spare Him. Nevertheless, He gave believers the example that they should always ask that the Father override our wants in favor of His will being done! Prayer is not reciting a series of magic words that cause things to happen! God is sovereign! He can do anything that He chooses to do. The Holy Bible mentions some of the answers that He has already pre-determined. He is consistent and does everything in agreement with His written Word. God is perfect. If He were to change He would be other than perfect!

Encounters with God in Medieval and Early Modern English Poetry
Author: Charlotte Clutterbuck
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351940333
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Engaging with four English poems or groups of poems-the anonymous medieval Crucifixion lyrics; William Langland's Piers Plowman, John Donne's Divine Poems, and John Milton's Paradise Lost-this book examines the nature of poetic encounter with God. At the same time, the author makes original contributions to the discussion of critical dilemmas in the study of each poem or group of poems. The main linguistic focus of this book is on the nature of dialogue with God in religious poetry, an area much neglected by grammarians and often overlooked in studies of literary style. It constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of the relationship between literature and theology.
