Consider What the Angels Say
Author: George DeVangelosPublisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1514404125
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Our world now and throughout history has had conflicting accounts of the nature of God and man's relationship to this cosmic deity. These conflicts have wrecked havoc within the societies of humanity to dangerous levels. Mankind has relied upon his sacred and canonized scriptures to provide doctrinal absolutes for his religions, but these absolutes differ and therefore cannot possibly all be correct, at least in specific contexts. However, there exist a very mysterious book circulating worldwide that does have specific, detailed, and consistent answers to all of our questions. The origin of this book is steeped in mystery and no human author has claimed ownership to its teachings which cover 2097 pages of intensive reading and exhaustive information. This book is known as the Urantia Book and has been placed in the public domain. The Urantia Book takes us from the conceptual locations within our segregated religious heritage and correctively re-calibrates our various belief systems which have been unavoidably limited and distorted by our world-views throughout human history. After its conceptual enhancements and adjustments, the Urantia Book enlarges such informational details into an elevation of more exact universal levels of perception as an advancement of cosmic truth. "Consider What the Angels Say" takes this expansive and intricately complicated book and presents a timesaving presentation of its teachings and gently correlates it with Christian doctrines and other religions as well as human philosophy and knowledge. In this book, the following questions will be answered. What exactly is God and how does this phenomenon relate to infinite reality, the time and space cosmos, other spiritual beings, and our world? Exactly what is the Godhead Trinity and why is it a necessary foundation for the existence of universal reality? What are angels and spiritual principalities? What are their levels and types, and how do they interface and interact between supernatural and human situations? How does the historical Jesus Christ fit into the spiritual dimensions of reality. How is he related to the one eternal God and how is Jesus an integral part of our soul salvation? How was man physically created and what accounts for the variances in human biological races and how does this correlate with the theory of evolution? What is the nature of the human soul and how is it translated into the eternal spiritual realities and how does it exist beyond death and what is its destiny? How did mankind come to develop and organize his cultures and what part did supernatural spiritual beings play in the formulations of man's religious doctrines? Why has there been so much tragedy, hardship, war, disease, and social discord throughout our history? What is the nature of sin and why does evil even exist. Something is not right, what went wrong? In all of the versions of religious theologies and doctrines worldwide, no one book explains the details of these universal mysteries as completely and systematically as the Urantia Book, it is truly a gift from the angels. Consider What the Angels Say is a concentrated effort forged from the heartfelt love and concern for humanity to introduce this majestic angelic book to all who are able to receive and benefit form its supernatural information.
The Makings of Indonesian Islam
Author: Michael LaffanPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691162166
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
Indonesian Islam is often portrayed as being intrinsically moderate by virtue of the role that mystical Sufism played in shaping its traditions. According to Western observers--from Dutch colonial administrators and orientalist scholars to modern anthropologists such as the late Clifford Geertz--Indonesia's peaceful interpretation of Islam has been perpetually under threat from outside by more violent, intolerant Islamic traditions that were originally imposed by conquering Arab armies. The Makings of Indonesian Islam challenges this widely accepted narrative, offering a more balanced assessment of the intellectual and cultural history of the most populous Muslim nation on Earth. Michael Laffan traces how the popular image of Indonesian Islam was shaped by encounters between colonial Dutch scholars and reformist Islamic thinkers. He shows how Dutch religious preoccupations sometimes echoed Muslim concerns about the relationship between faith and the state, and how Dutch-Islamic discourse throughout the long centuries of European colonialism helped give rise to Indonesia's distinctive national and religious culture. The Makings of Indonesian Islam presents Islamic and colonial history as an integrated whole, revealing the ways our understanding of Indonesian Islam, both past and present, came to be.
The Cambridge Companion to American Utopian Literature and Culture since 1945
Author: Sherryl VintPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009188216
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Providing a comprehensive overview of American thought in the period following World War II, after which the US became a global military and economic leader, this book explores the origins of American utopianism and provides a trenchant critique from the point of view of those left out of the hegemonic ideal. Centring the voices of those oppressed by or omitted from the consumerist American Dream, this book celebrates alternative ways of thinking about how to create a better world through daily practices of generosity, justice, and care. The chapters collected here emphasize utopianism as a practice of social transformation, not as a literary genre depicting a putatively perfect society, and urgently make the case for why we need utopian thought today. With chapters on climate change, economic justice, technology, and more, alongside chapters exploring utopian traditions outside Western frameworks, this book opens a new discussion in utopian thought and theory.

Sanctuary

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Separated by 600 years, linked by a tragic coincidence… Sholto Kelley had always lived a sheltered life working at an Abbey in Ireland, but when the Pope calls for a crusade to restore the Christian influence in the Holy Land, Sholto feels compelled to respond. Upon his arrival in the port city of Acre, a huge, enemy army also descend, determined to expel the Christian crusaders from the Holy Land. Instructed by the Commander of the Templar garrison to leave Acre on the last available boat, Sholto’s mission is to evacuate ancient texts and transport them back to the Abbey to be deciphered. When his life is threatened, Sholto hides the texts with a coded message as to their location. Six hundred years later, in 1891, Sholto’s message is found by James Cartwright who is seeking sanctuary during a storm. Intrigued by his discovery, James is inspired to follow the message in order to bring closure to Sholto’s mission and satisfy his own curiosity. Inspired by authors such as Kate Mosse, Dan Brown and Henry Lincoln, Sanctuary spans six decades in order to bring a new perspective to an age old question.
