Speaking in Parables
Author: Sallie McFague
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
"This book is not only absorbingly readable but important. For its themes engage effectively with main dilemmas not only of formal theology but of current piety and witness." - Amos N. Wilder, Andover Newton Quarterly "This book is immensely valuable for its persuasive illustrations of the parabolic and metaphoric imagination. McFague attends both to the interpretive and the evaluative levels of hermeneutics. Her readings of specific parables, poems, stories, and autobiographies are insightful and relevant to her thesis that what religious language 'says' is 'conceptually imperceivable and inexpressible.'" - Mary Gerhart, Journal of the American Academy of Religion "It is at the very least a fine guide to one important direction that theological hermeneutics might take, and more than that, it testifies confidently to the presence of still unplumbed resources of the biblical word and its secular counterpart that are there for the imagination's appropriation." - Robert Detweiler, Religious Studies Review "Everyone interested in theology will be stimulated by Sallie McFague's mediating theological position and the form of thinking and discourse she espouses. Those interested in the intercourse between theology and literature will be stimulated by the way she links the two and the perceptive way she handles her literary examples. Biblical scholars will undoubtedly note her primacy of the parables as the central corpus of the biblical records. Preachers of the church will be strengthened by the concern McFague has for the Christian community and the importance of the word through the words of the preachers. With this variety of concerns, Speaking in Parables will have a deservedly wide reading and, perhaps even more important, wide discussion." - Ronald E. Sleeth, Perkins School of Theology Journal

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453559116
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Come with me as God takes me on a journey. Watch what God reveals through the Dreams, Visions and Out of Body Experiences of mine personally, as well as that of others who have shared with me theirs. Let me tell you about some of the accounts that affected me and sometimes others. This book will show you How to be a True, Living Epistle of God through awareness of your own Dreams and Visions. It will teach you how to STOP where you are in life to hear the voice of the Lord God and hearken unto it. Unfortunately, we are presently living in the mist of a "Microwave Society" that is too busy for God. Nevertheless, God wants to speak and does so every single day. Yet most often than not, we are too busy to notice when He is speaking because we are caught up in our own way of living life. We simply neglect to make an effort to STOP and pay attention to the signs and wonders of GOD afforded us. As a result, we miss out on the very thing that we have need of or may be in prayer about. I tell you this day, God has already spoken through a Dream, Vision or His Word. We merely have not noticed it yet! This book shows you How to Acknowledge, Pay Attention and Respond Accordingly when God is speaking. Believe me when I tell you, He is speaking! Let me, through this book, show you how. A MUST READ for everyone who desires to learn more about How the Word of GOD affirms the Spiritual Application for the Natural Situations encountered in Dreams and Visions.

Fifteen Faces of God
Author: Father Michael Manning
Publisher: Image
ISBN: 0385531621
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The parable, a short story told to impart a lesson to the listener, was the chief teaching tool of Jesus Christ. In this delightful and inspirational book, author Michael Manning, the TV host of The Word in the World, takes readers on a journey through fifteen of the most beloved parables from the New Testament, in order to enlighten the many different ways seekers can understand God’s presence in their daily lives. From the parable of the talents to the stories of the wedding feast and the Good Samaritan, Manning shows us that God has many faces to meet the diverse challenges we all experience. Certainly God can be seen as a parent or an authority figure, but as the parables demonstrate, God is also a humble servant, a conversationalist, a friend, a risk taker, and an optimist, to name just a few. Knowing this and experiencing God’s many faces can dramatically change your life forever. In our fast-paced, hectic society, Manning’s practical guide for walking a spiritual path is an illuminating, multidimensional work that will help readers to slow down, stop, look, listen, and gaze upon the beautiful faces of God and all his creation.
