God and Enchantment of Place
Author: David Brown
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199271984
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
David Brown argues for the importance of experience of God as mediated through place in all its variety. He explores the various ways in which such experiences once formed an essential element in making religion integral to human life, and argues for their reinstatement at the centre of theological discussions about the existence of God. In effect, the discussion continues the theme of Brown's two much-praised earlier volumes, Tradition and Imagination and Discipleshipand Imagination, in its advocacy of the need for Christian theology to take much more seriously its relationship with the various wider cultures in which it has been set. In its challenge to conventional philosophy of religion, the book will be of interest to theologians and philosophers, and also to historiansof art and culture generally.

Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Jack Dufour’s battle between good and evil brings him to a terrifying scene of unexplainable deaths. In a small village north of Georgia, strange deaths have occurred. Twenty-six people were found dead, mainly children and young women, but the causes could not be determined. There was an elevated seismic activity but the death of these people wasn’t caused by the earthquake, but from unexplainable lacerations present on each victim’s chest as if the earthquake tremors actually occurred from within their bodies. The form of the wounds precisely outlined the sign of the cross. Why have the chests of these poor kids been slaughtered? Why the sign of the cross? Why a cross-shaped slashing? What does the Black Lady want to tell us? What is the sense? And if there is a sense, will it repeat itself?

Re-enchanting the Text
Author: Cheryl Bridges Johns
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493436678
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
In an age when the Bible has been stripped of its sacredness and functional biblical illiteracy reigns, this book makes the case that we must work to re-enchant the text in order to return the Bible to its rightful place in the lives of Christians. Cheryl Bridges Johns explains how the Enlightenment's turn to the rational human subject made it possible to objectify the Bible and has distorted our interpretations of Scripture. This move generated a belief that studying the Bible was primarily a means of supporting facts and providing evidence of competing visions of reality. This "modern" version of the Bible does not trouble our nights with apocalyptic images. It has been stripped of its power. She also shows that both "liberal" and "fundamentalist" interpretation are failed forms of disenchanted readings. Johns argues that we must rediscover the Bible as a sacred, dangerous, mysterious, and presence-filled wonderland to counteract biblical illiteracy in an increasingly post-Christian landscape.
