Book Description
It is widely recognized that Immanuel Kant was one of Karl Barth’s most important intellectual influences, but how and to what extent this is the case remains an open question. In Presupposing God, Robert Hand demonstrates a deep consistency between Kant’s and Barth’s theological epistemologies, with this issue in mind. After arguing for a number of positive emphases in Kant’s critical philosophy and religious epistemology in conversation with modern Kant scholarship, Presupposing God demonstrates how these emphases were obscured in Kant’s reception in the decades between Kant and Barth, and then explores the intellectual conditions under which Barth first encountered Kant. The argument proceeds to show how Barth wrestled with these varying interpretations and continued to utilize Kant with increased sophistication as his thought developed across the Romans commentaries, Anselm, and the Church Dogmatics. Presupposing God suggests that Kant can be an asset to theology, rather than the liability he is often taken to be, and that Barth is one of the better available examples of this in practice.

The Reality of God and the Problem of Evil
Author: Brian Davies
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441138706
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
An important new book on how we can still believe in a God of love and confront the problem of evil in the world. Probably the most important book on the subject since John Hick's book `Evil and the God of Love`. &; Evil is a strong word that people now employ fairly rarely. Many people believe these days that God is omnipotent,omniscient and good and that what we deem to be bad or evil in the world is no reason for abandoning belief in God. It is an intellectual or theoretical problem not one where the focus is on how one might bring about some desirable goal ( a practical matter). &; Professor Davies says we should tackle this problem by attending to the basics, by asking whether there is a God and then What is God? he starts by summarizing the arguments so far (from Seneca to the present day). He then moves to what he describes as the basics (see above) and demonstrates that much of what has been written about on the topic of evil is in fact irrelevant or just plain wrong. &; Finally, though many theologians argue that evil is a mystery, Davies argues that this too is wrong and a cop out. We should rather be concerned with the problem (or mystery) of good. The real issue is ` Why is there not more good than there is`. From the discussion Aquinas emerges as a hero (as filtered through analytical philosophy) but many moderns thinkers do not emerge so well. Davies effectively picks holes int e arguments of Peter Geach, Paul Helm, Richard Swinburne and even Mary Baker Eddy. &; This is a lively book on a tricky subject, written at all times with humour and much practical example.

Cornelius Van Til's Doctrine of God and Its Relevance for Contemporary Hermeneutics
Author: Jason B. Hunt
Publisher: Wipf and Stock
ISBN: 1532682883
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
Cornelius Van Til's Doctrine of God and Its Relevance for Contemporary Hermeneutics seeks to answer the question, ""What does Van Til have to do with hermeneutics?"" It is argued that some of the most relevant concerns in the field of contemporary hermeneutics are similar to those addressed by Van Til in the area of apologetics. Van Til's approach involved a self-conscious consistency between method and theology proper in order to reason according to the Christian worldview found in Scripture. Just as one's apologetic method should be consistent with the theology revealed in the Bible, so also should one's hermeneutic. This work not only argues that Van Til has an important place in the hermeneutical discussion, but also demonstrates his place in terms of the main contours in his doctrine of God. In doing so, certain influences on evangelical hermeneutics are considered according to consistency with theology proper. Lastly, a Van Tillian hermeneutic is applied to the often-debated issue concerning the New Testament use of the Old Testament.

The Theory of Christian Psychology
Author: Eva Klostreich
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465314784
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
The Theory of Christian Psychology comes from the worldview that sees humanity as the object of a love relationship with Jesus Christ. Parallel to Buddhist forms of Psychology, The Theory of Christian Psychology meets the worldwide Christian population need for its own Psychology. The Theory of Christian Psychology presents a flexible foundation, addressing personality with full humanity dimension, integrating principles of clinical psychology found in Psychoanalytic Psychodynamic Psychology. Soundly Biblical and non-denominational it focuses on key precepts that bind Christianity together. The Theory of Christian Psychology bridges clinical psychology and theology in an intersection of power accessibility. Psychology has been culture alien to Christianity. I have been asked to leave churches who only need God when they discovered I was a psychologist, and criticized by others, who only need psychology. Sound psychological principles are inherent throughout the Bible. There is no dichotomy necessary. We just need to speak the same language to clearly see the intersection. Issues addressed in The Theory of Christian Psychology carry relevancy for law and education. Her fi rst book, Dr. Klostreich plans to continue to write and speak. She is initiating The Institute for Christian Psychology to offer seminars, training, certification and ongoing research.
