How are God and creatures related?

Her search for a unique kernal or regulative dimension of the Christian doctrine of God-world relations leads her to identify in the tradition an operative "grammar&334; of meaningful theological discourse that not only informs the past but can guide the future.

Resistance to Tyrants, Obedience to God
Author: Dustin A. Gish
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 073918220X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Both reason and religion have been acknowledged by scholars to have had a profound impact on the foundation and formation of the American regime. But the significance, pervasiveness, and depth of that impact have also been disputed. While many have approached the American founding period with an interest in the influence of Enlightenment reason or Biblical religion, they have often assumed such influences to be exclusive, irreconcilable, or contradictory. Few scholarly works have sought to study the mutual influence of reason and religion as intertwined strands shaping the American historical and political experience at its founding. The purpose of the chapters in this volume, authored by a distinguished group of scholars in political science, intellectual history, literature, and philosophy, is to examine how this mutual influence was made manifest in the American Founding—especially in the writings, speeches, and thought of critical figures (Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Charles Carroll), and in later works by key interpreters of the American Founding (Alexis de Tocqueville and Abraham Lincoln). Taken as a whole, then, this volume does not attempt to explain away the potential opposition between religion and reason in the American mind of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries, but instead argues that there is a uniquely American perspective and political thought that emerges from this tension. The chapters gathered here, individually and collectively, seek to illuminate the animating affect of this tension on the political rhetoric, thought, and history of the early American period. By taking seriously and exploring the mutual influence of these two themes in creative tension, rather than seeing them as diametrically opposed or as mutually exclusive, this volume thus reveals how the pervasiveness and resonance of Biblical narratives and religion supported and infused Enlightened political discourse and action at the Founding, thereby articulating the complementarity of reason and religion during this critical period.

For God Or for Tyranny
Author: Walid Shoebat
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780982567906
Category : Apologetics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Progressives denounce God and the Bible as an old writ from thousands of years ago, that we need to advance and modernize-God is "outmoded" they say. "Perhaps it is time to set up a new moral code without Him." FOR GOD OR FOR TYRANNY shows how mankind digresses every time he takes this route-that evil is the process of us governing others rather than allowing God to govern us. We can either believe that God exists or He simply is nowhere to be found. But God's moral law stands-which we shall prove here. If we remove God, the government will become God. This book will show conclusively that whenever we abandon God, we elevate a collective tyranny into a god. Either God becomes king or a tyrant becomes king. This book equips and trains the inner soul through a journey into history examining some of our downfalls when man thought he was superior, to later only recognize, after the havoc, and only then confess, that the core of his principles was indeed appalling. Today the world is at it again, demanding global unity. But unity under freedom is the process of uniting individuals that disagree, while tyranny is the process of forcing everyone to agree-in unison.

The Tyranny of Heaven
Author: Michael Bryson
Publisher: University of Delaware Press
ISBN: 9780874138597
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The Tyranny of Heaven argues for a new way of reading the figure of Milton's God, contending that Milton rejects kings on earth and in heaven. Though Milton portrays God as a king in Paradise Lost, he does this neither to endorse kingship nor to recommend a monarchical model of deity. Instead, he recommends the Son, who in Paradise Regained rejects external rule as the model of politics and theology for Milton's fit audience though few. The portrait of God in Paradise Lost serves as a scathing critique of the English people and its slow but steady backsliding into the political habits of a nation long used to living under the yoke of kingship, a nation that maintained throughout its brief period of liberty the image of God as a heavenly king, and finally welcomed with open arms the return of a human king. Michael Bryson is a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Northwestern University.

On Tyranny
Author: Timothy Snyder
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0804190119
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “bracing” (Vox) guide for surviving and resisting America’s turn towards authoritarianism, from “a rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and present” (The New York Times) “Timothy Snyder reasons with unparalleled clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief. He has written the rare kind of book that can be read in one sitting but will keep you coming back to help regain your bearings.”—Masha Gessen The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. On Tyranny is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come.
