The Spiritual Power of Nonviolence
Author: George W. Wolfe
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453572899
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Religion and violence--the two concepts seem incompatible given the emphasis in religion on virtue, love, forgiveness and compassion. Yet many scriptures contain martial images and stories of god-inspired military conquest. The Spiritual Power of Nonviolence confronts this theological contradiction, arguing that martial images and symbols found in religious texts are often meant to be interpreted as metaphors for an inner spiritual struggle and should never be used as a justification for war. The analysis is undertaken from an interfaith perspective that explains many of the paradoxical concepts found in theories of nonviolence. Professor Wolfe also presents a compelling case for the sustainability paradigm and for offering peace education and interreligious dialogue on a global scale. He probes the scriptures of the world proving that nonviolence is a shared virtue and that the real enemy we must battle against and ultimately defeat is actually within us. ?An excellent introduction to spiritually-based principled nonviolence. Professor Wolfe?s blend of different wisdom traditions is especially useful?--Dr. Michael Nagler, Professor Emeritus, University of California at Berkeley. ?George Wolfe has put the blame for proliferating violence in the world where it belongs, on the crass interpretation of religion. A thought-provoking book??Arun Gandhi, President, Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence. ?Truly an enlightening book??Judy O?Bannon, Former First Lady of Indiana.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Sons of Van Helsing The world spun and danced in shades of azure and emerald as Jack, who could not remember that name, surfaced from the embrace of the rocky river. Water sluiced from his hair and dripped off the ends of his mustache, mingling with the blood that trickled down from a gash on his forehead. He gasped for air, lungs burning, and dragged himself onto the pebbled shore, each breath an agonized rasp. "Help him! He's alive!" A villager's voice cut through the fog of his confusion, sharp and urgent. Hands reached for him, pulling him away from the water’s edge. As he was laid upon the grass, Jack's eyes fluttered open to see faces hovering over him - expressions etched with concern and awe. "Where...?" His voice was a hoarse whisper, the words tasting unfamiliar. "Shh, rest now," a woman said, her touch gentle on his shoulder. "You're safe with us." Jack tried to sit up, but his body protested vehemently, throbbing with pain. The villagers knelt beside him, their gazes drawn to his chest where his shirt hung in tatters, revealing a tattoo – an intricate emblem of a cross and a stake entwined with a serpent. "Look at the mark," another whispered, his tone reverent. "It's the sigil of the Vanquisher. He's been chosen." Chosen? The thought echoed hollowly in Jack's mind. He searched for memories to explain the significance of the symbol etched into his skin but found only a void. "Who am I?" The question fell from his lips, laced with desperation. A murmur rippled through the crowd, but no one had an answer. Instead, they exchanged glances, silently agreeing upon the weight of the responsibility that had washed ashore with this enigmatic stranger. "Your past might be lost," the woman who had first spoken said softly, "but your future is unwritten. You bear the mark of destiny." Destiny. The word held a promise, a whisper of purpose amidst the cacophony of lost recollections. Jack—now a man without a name—felt it settle in his bones, a call to something greater than himself. It terrified and exhilarated him in equal measure. "Rest now, hero," the woman continued, her hand warm against his clammy skin. "We will care for you, and in time, you will learn what it means to carry such a mark."

Theology of Hope
Author: Jürgen Moltmann
Publisher: SCM Press
ISBN: 0334060117
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Causing a considerable stir when it was first published in Germany in 1965, "Theology of Hope" represents a comprehensive statement of the importance for theology of eschatology - and of an eschatological theology which emphasizes the revolutionary effect of Christian hope upon the thought, institutions and conditions of life in the here and now. Jürgen Moltmann understands Christian faith essentially as hope for the future of humankind and creation as this has been promised by the God of the exodus and the resurrection of the crucified Jesus. God's promise is the compulsory force of history, awakening hope which keeps human beings unreconciled to present experience, sets them in contradistinction to prevailing natural and social powers, and makes the church the source of continual new impulses towards, in Moltmann's own words, "the realization of righteousness, freedom and humanity in the light of the promised future that is to come". This new expanded edition of a theological classic includes his 2020 Charles Gore lecture ‘A Theology of Hope for the 21st Century’, in which he offers a powerful reflection on the nature of hope in our current times.
