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 Church of the Living God, the Pillar and Ground of the Truth, Inc. - Constitution, Government, and General Decree Book
Author: Church of the Living God
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780910003018
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The Decree Book can logically be divided into four major arenas: church history, theological propositions, organizational structures, and guiding principles. Church history has been and is being collected into a number of documents referred to elsewhere. The documents referred to earlier reflect the second and third major arenas. The present work attempts to bring to fore many aspects of the fourth major arena. The theological propositions are formally stated in "We believe?" or credenda terms. Organizational structures are copious throughout the Decree and range from ecclesiastical and clerical hierarchies, through the gamut of church structures and infrastructures, revenues and expenditures, official meetings and assemblies, discipline, and on into other prominent structural elements of the entity and their relationships to each other. The guiding principles mirror the highly visible "parental exhortations" expected of an experienced leader and "visible head." These principles, while not necessarily indicative of Bible preachments, are nonetheless conceived as wholesome and "safe" principles that will serve to guide future generations and development of the organization.
