Publisher: Xlibris Corporation

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
Interludes and Ladies of Love The old institution of love has long out lived the values it may have once held in yesteryear. Good providing has always been the main factor but, it has gone deep and dark into plain, vain materialistic gain. In todays high-tech fast paced world where women are more likely to be the bread winner than the man; the definition of love has taken a whole new meaning. Interludes and Ladies of Love gives a glimpse into the mind of women, and how they view love today. The authors life experiences, and observations was the reason he wrote this book; Inspired by God to write how love is rapidly deteriorating in todays society, and with the acceptance of loves lowering level as long as theres a profit to be made, and no spiritual thought is given to their actions to attain it. Love and relationships are like everything else economically controlled, and can be virtually shut down in most cases where money takes priority over love. Unless women formulate a higher consciousness spiritually, and think outside of the box that constrict the mentality of todays society things will inevitably get worse in love land. Interludes and Ladies of Love is an in depth look behind the scene of what appear before the eyes of man, taking a look into loves unseen deceptions. Sympathy is expressed for the so-called manipulator of women (pimps) because, they havent realized yet, that the only true pimps are women, and they (the men) have pimped out nobody but themselves through their arrogant ignominy, and dependency on the ladies of love to provide financial security. Glimpse inside the unsavory interludes women delve into with hidden motivations held within what appear to be wide open, and innocent. Through the beauty of their bodies women truly do make themselves a power to be reckoned with in this world that feels a need to satisfy its insatiable sensations for money by any means necessary.

To Know as I Am Known: The Communion of the Saints and the Ontology of Love
Author: Mark McLeod-Harrison
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1622736206
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The doctrine of the communion of the saints is central in the spiritual lives and theology of millions of Christians. However, it has been neglected by much recent philosophical scholarship. ‘To know as I am known’ addresses this oversight by offering a contemporary analysis of this venerated doctrine. By taking two related puzzles inherent in the doctrine itself, McLeod-Harrison explores and reflects on not only the communion of the saints but also on the ontology of love. Divided into five parts, this book provides an account of human nature and sin, before suggesting a way of thinking of love that is rooted both in the doctrine of the Trinity and in the thought of several contemporary analytic thinkers along with Dostoyevsky, Eckerd, Royce. While the integral issues of the doctrine are related to the “why-be-moral” problem, McLeod-Harrison shows that the challenges of the doctrine arise from the unique nature of agape (divine love). Thus, the communion of the saints comes through the challenges intact with a plausible interpretation of saintly motivation and human solidarity. Born out of 20 years of thought, this essential and sophisticated reflection serves as an important contribution to the field of the philosophy of religion that will inspire and engage students, scholars, and Christians, alike.

Luke
Author: Darrell L. Bock
Publisher: InterVarsity Press
ISBN: 9780830818037
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
In Luke's vivid narrative, Jesus comes into Galilee proclaiming "good news to the poor . . . freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind." More than any other Gospel, the Gospel of Luke shows Jesus' great concern for the downtrodden, the oppressed and the marginalized--including women and children and even those outside the house of Israel.Darrell Bock's IVP New Testament Commentary shows why Luke's Gospel is "tailor-made" for the world we live in--a world often divided along ethnic, religious, economic and political lines. After all, the Jesus portrayed by Luke is a source of unity for his disciples and for believers from every walk of life. Tax collectors, Roman soldiers, prostitutes, city officials, religious leaders, widows and fishermen were among the diverse group brought together in the early Christian church. "The Gospel is universal in its perspective and cosmic in its scope," Bock writes. "As we look at our modern multicultural world, . . . certainly there is relevance in a Gospel that highlights how men and women of different ethnic origins can be transformed into a unified community."Along with a passage-by-passage exposition of Luke, Bock offers background information on date, destination, purpose, form and theological themes in the text. His dual focus on understanding what Luke wanted to communicate to his original readers and on discovering how that message is relevant for today's readers will make this commentary an excellent resource for all who study, preach or teach the Scriptures.

Beyond the Call of Duty
Author: Gregory Mellema
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791407370
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A surprisingly large number of people have denied that it is possible for human moral agents to act in such a way as to go beyond or transcend what moral duty or obligation requires of them. Some of this opposition to the possibility of supererogation, as it is called, has been motivated by theological concerns. This book surveys the concerns of Luther, Calvin, and Melanchthon, as they react to certain teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as the concerns of several contemporary theologians. It also examines some contemporary philosophers whose concerns have grown out of a commitment to a Kantian, utilitarian, or prescriptive type of ethics and urges that there are valuable lessons to be learned from these theologians and philosophers. At the same time it is argued that some of their concerns are the result of a mistaken idea of what it means to perform an act of supererogation. In addition, it is argued that some of their concerns can be addressed in ways that do not require a denial of the possibility of going beyond the call of duty in human life. This stage of the argument involves a discussion of virtue ethics and an examination of the concept of vocation, particularly as it has developed in Protestant thought, and illustrates the relevance of virtue and vocation to the problem of supererogation.
