The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch
Author: David Pinault
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1621642321
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
This book on Islam has an unusual perspective. It argues that a critically minded examination of Islam can help Christians achieve a deeper appreciation of the unique truths of their own faith. It draws on the author’s personal experiences living in Islamic countries and his fieldwork with persecuted Christian-minority communities, especially in Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt, and Indonesia. It includes the author’s own original translations of Islamic texts in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, as well as primary-source materials in Latin that were written by Christian participants in the Crusades. The author focuses on Muslim interactions with the Christian tradition. He examines and takes issue with the misguided approach of those Christians and Muslims who, in the interests of Christian-Muslim rapprochement, minimize theological differences between the two faiths, especially in the area of Christology. Such attempts at rapport, he writes, do a profound disservice to both religions. Illustrating the Muslim view of Christ with Islamic polemical texts from the eleventh to the twenty-first centuries, the author draws on Hans Urs von Balthasar, and other theologians of kenotic Christology, to show how Islamic condemnations of divine "weakness" and "neediness" can deepen our appreciation of what is most uniquely Christian in our vision of Jesus as God-made-man, who voluntarily experiences weakness, suffering, and death in solidarity with all human beings. Both timely and urgently needed, The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch invites readers to reflect on the stark differences between Christianity and Islam and to appreciate the uniqueness of the Christian faith.

He Said
Author: John Amerson

ISBN: 1642981605
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
He said: Long before Earth and the stars that you see in the night sky were created, there were thousands upon thousands of planets throughout the universe supporting life. The inhabitants of the planets live in peace. The gods were pleased. Yes, I said "the gods," not one, not just your god but all the gods. Even back then no one knew how many there were, how they came to be, or where they came from. Some of the inhabited planets were only a few million miles apart. As the inhabitants of the planets began to venture out into space they encountered other races and cultures. Wars broke out. And soon the whole universe was filled with warring planets determined to conquer one another. The gods became angry. Mankind had become a disappointment. The gods decided to put an end to all the violence. Your scientists got the big bang theory practically right. It wasn't the creation of the universe. It was the destruction of the universe. Earth and what you see in the night sky is the aftermath, the rubble, you might say, of a universe that had been home to thousands upon thousands of inhabited planets.

Many Broken Promises and Yet I Stand!!
Author: Henry W. Cabarrus Jr
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1460206932
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Henry W Cabarrus, Jr's formative years occurred during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. A young black male seeking self-identity through family and work, Henry struggled to find himself amidst the surrounding social cacophony. In 1954, the US Supreme Court ruled that segregation in US schools was unconstitutional. The decision kicked off a massive resistance movement in Virginia, where Henry's family lived. In response to the resistance, it was ruled that operation of public schools was a local option for the state's counties and cities, and no provision was made for educating the county's black children. With no education, prospects, or family support, Henry found himself saved from a near suicide attempt. He left Virginia in pursuit of a formal education and his place in the world. College was a struggle, but Henry prevailed, graduating with a 4.0 GPA from Saint Paul's College. Henry's memoir, Many Broken Promises and Yet I Stand!, is part history, part relationships, and part social commentary.
