Quest for the Living God
Author: Elizabeth A. Johnson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1441142665
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
'Since the middle of the twentieth century,' writes Elizabeth Johnson, 'there has been a renaissance of new insights into God in the Christian tradition. On different continents, under pressure from historical events and social conditions, people of faith have glimpsed the living God in fresh ways. It is not that a wholly different God is discovered from the One believed in by previous generations. Christian faith does not believe in a new God but, finding itself in new situations, seeks the presence of God there. Aspects long-forgotten are brought into new relationships with current events, and the depths of divine compassion are appreciated in ways not previously imagined.' This book sets out the fruit of these discoveries. The first chapter describes Johnson's point of departure and the rules of engagement, with each succeeding chapter distilling a discrete idea of God. Featured are transcendental, political, liberation, feminist, black, Hispanic, interreligious, and ecological theologies, ending with the particular Christian idea of the one God as Trinity.

The 'Living God' Lie
Author: John O'Loughlin
Publisher: Centretruths Digital Media
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Continuing from where John O'Loughlin's previous title, The Un-paralleled Logic of Om-niscience (1923–24) leaves off, this title is divided, with 'Books 1A/B', into two versions, the first of which, dubbed 'Unhyphenated Version', is followed by an 'Unhyphenated Addendum', whilst the second of which, dubbed 'Hyphenated Version', is likewise duly followed by a 'Hyphenated Addendum', both of which are the exact thematic replica of Book 1A except for the fact that all the terms which Mr O'Loughlin preferred not to hyphenate in the one have, as noted, been duly hyphenated in the other, thereby providing a relatively conventional text for those readers who would struggle with the unhyphenated version and its addendum which, according to the author, is ntended for the 'radically tight' rather than the 'conventionally loose' who, even if not invariably female, nonetheless deserve access, via 'Book 1B', to a relatively more accessible text, the bulk of which is, indeed, concerned with what he describes as the Lie of a Living God, even if the addenda to each version of the main text happens to be more comprehensively exacting in its approach to a well-nigh exhaustive list of terminological parallels such that, reminiscent of Arthur Koestler, 'sum-up' his overall philosophy.

Death Masks
Author: Ed Greenwood

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
The creator of the Forgotten Realms leads readers through a rollicking fantasy adventure and murder mystery set in the city of Waterdeep Revealed in death to have been Masked Lords, three more citizens had been murdered over the preceding day and night: the Sembian wine-seller and collector Oszbur Malankar; the half-elf sorceress and artisan Dathanscza Meiril; and the moneylender, landlord, and investor Ammasker Gwelt. All of Waterdeep now knew someone was killing the Lords of Waterdeep, one by one. Yet that was about where truth ended and speculation—however plausible—began. The broadsheets were full of wild conjecture. Who's behind this? The ousted Lord Neverember? The Zhentarim, the Cult of the Dragon or some other Outland Power? The Xanathar? Some cabal of guilds or nobles planning a coup? The rumors would rage on, whether the Open Lord Laeral Silverhand did something or not. That was the trouble with rumors; once loosed, they roamed free like snarling, untamed beasts, with no simple way of stopping them. And all rumors aside, Waterdeep has become . . . a City of Murderers. Death Masks is loosely connected to the Elminster series and Sage of Shadowdale series.

This Thing Called Christianity

Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Join New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke as he tears back the worn canvas of religion, lets an unsalvageable, phony frame of distractions fall away, and unfolds for the reader the breathtaking meaning and worth of the Christian faith. We're all searching for our greater purpose in life, but society pushes cheap, false narratives instead: your worth is measured by your success, winning brings happiness, put yourself first. But Bethke tells us that when we buy into those empty promises, we don't realize that the picture of life we've been sold is incomplete. We were made for so much more. A continuation of his bestseller It's Not What You Think, Bethke invites us to find our true purpose by seeing Jesus in a new light, taking us on a journey from the creation of the universe in Genesis to the great feast of celebration in Revelation. Along the way, Bethke gives us the tools we need to: Reflect on our role in God's story Embrace faith as a blend of mystery, truth, grace, and beauty Discover the blessings of rest, worship, and fellowship Reexamining Christianity from the very beginning as revealed in the Bible, Bethke discovers a story far more beautiful, compelling, and fulfilling than we could ever imagine.
