From Inspiration to Understanding
Author: Edward W. H. Vick
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1893729109
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The way in which we read the Bible grows out of what we believe the Bible to be. Thus it is impossible to discuss methods of interpretation without considering our view of inspiration, the gathering of the canon, and even the reception of the Bible by the community of faith. And so, Edward W. H. Vick starts this comprehensive discussion of hermeneutics—the interpretation of Scripture—by looking at what the Bible is, and what empowers its authority. He brings a lifetime of experience, teaching and writing to the task. In this examination, he takes up such diverse topics as inspiration, canonization, authority, infallibility, inerrancy, verbal inspiration, sola scriptura, tradition, myth, and many related topics. Dr. Vick always relates these elements to the overarching questions: How shall we read Scripture? How shall we understand it? How does it impact the way we live and act? There are many books on how to read the Bible, but there are few that will offer this comprehensive and systematic study. If you apply the principles you find here to your own study, you will find the scriptures opening up in new ways. Dr. Vick will help you move beyond the assumptions that often stand in the way of our personal Bible study and see the remarkable variety and power that is mediated through this book we call the Bible.

Creation in Contemporary Experience
Author: David Moffett-Moore
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1631990357
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Do the things we believe about God as creator make any difference in the way we act in the world? Yes, what we believe about God as creator impacts our theology and action in many ways. In this book, Dr. David Moffett-Moore will examine some of these implications by looking at topics as diverse as quantum physics and chaos theory, hermeneutics, ethics, and how we tell stories of faith. Can one accept the major theories of science, including evolution and still be a faithful believer? What do these findings of science mean for the way we do theology in the 21st century? Dr. Moffett-Moore not only believes that we can accept the findings of science and still be faithful Christians, he believes that discoveries in fields such as physics and biology can help us talk about God in a more relevant and compelling way than we ever have before. When we talk about God in this new way, we will also find a new call to live in a way that is faithful both to the wonders of the physical Creation, and also to scripture. This study is designed for individual reading and study. Though it does not include questions and other traditional elements of a study guide, it would still be an excellent guide for small group study on these topics.

the Gospel of the Lion of Judah, a student's guide
Author: Roland van Reenen
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326001655
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
We must become something we have never been and for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us. In this speech of Emperor Haile Selassie I, he is urging us to become something for which our education have ill-prepared us for. The Gospel of the Lion of Judah is a response to that call of Haile Selassie I to prepare the upcoming generations for the world he envisioned. This book contains those timeless extracts of the vision of Haile Selassie I. It does not claim to be complete, but it wants to serve as a guiding light for the new generations. It merely wants to sow some seeds of the high ideals and morality of His Majesty in the still fertile minds of the youths. Seeds which might be nurtured and taken care after by the questions and tasks at the end of each chapter. With these tasks the students are invited to look into the world around them, but more important, invited to look into themselves, into the depths of their souls, to find their own answers to the demands of a new race.

The Space Between
Author: Matthew Braddock
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1631996541
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Should your faith and your spirituality be a matter of simply private concern, or should they connect to social action? This book explores the disconnect between social and religious progressivism. The author maintains that both social and religious notes are essential for those who want to further a progressive agenda that creates equity and compassion, restores the dignity of all people, and ensures the full participation of all in common life, common wealth, and the common good. The Space Between builds bridges across the space between these elements, both between social and religious belief, but also between contemplative action and active contemplation. This book is an vigorous and unashamed call for social action, but specifically a social action that grows from contemplation, but also for the balance and strength that comes from resting and waiting.
