Автор: Andrew B. Torrance Название: The Freedom to Become a Christian: A Kierkegaardian Account of Human Transformation in Relationship with God ISBN: 0567661210 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567661210 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 137280.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The Kierkegaardian account of becoming a Christian has come to be perceived in radically egocentric terms. Torrance challenges this perception by demonstrating that Kierkegaard was devoted to the idea of Christian conversion as a transformative process of becoming. This process is grounded in an active relationship initiated by the eternal God who has established kinship with us in time. Torrance focuses on 'becoming a Christian' as a particular theological theme that deserves further attention — how 'becoming a Christian' or Christian transformation should be construed in relation to God's initiating and active relationship to the person. Torrance's account of Kierkegaard on human transformation demonstrates in striking ways Kierkegaard's relevance to current issues in systematic theology and philosophical theology around the nature of Christian conversion, particularly how conversion might be re-conceptualized in strong divinely-relational and transformative rather than in progressive self-developmental terms. This study also considers how Kierkegaard was able to negotiate his emphasis on the God-relationship with his emphasis on the importance of individual reflection, decision and action in the Christian life.

In 2005, Father Juli?n Carr?n became the leader of the global ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation, following the death of the movement's founder, Father Luigi Giussani. Disarming Beauty is the English translation of an engaging and thought-provoking collection of essays by one of the principal Catholic leaders and intellectuals in the world today. Adapted from talks given by Fr. Carr?n, these essays have been thoroughly reworked by the author to offer an organic presentation of a decade-long journey. They present the content of his elaboration of the gospel message in light of the tradition of Fr. Giussani, the teachings of the popes, and the urgent needs of contemporary people.
Carr?n offers a broad diagnosis of challenges in society and then introduces their implications in contexts such as families, schools, workplaces, and political communities. In a dialogue with his listeners, he inspires and encourages them to lay out a new path for the Catholic church and the world. Throughout his essays, Carr?n addresses the most pressing questions facing theologians today and provides insights that will interest everyone, from the most devout to the firm nonbeliever. Grappling with the interaction of Christian faith and modern culture, Carr?n treats in very real and concrete ways what is essential to maintaining and developing Christian faith, and he invites an ongoing conversation about the meaning of faith, truth, and freedom.
Автор: Richard Worsley Название: Human Freedom and the Logic of Evil ISBN: 134924323X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781349243235 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 111790.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Worsley argues that it is rational to believe in a realist, loving God in the face of evil. Beginning with a critique of Alvin Plantinga, he shows that human freedom is highly complex, and so depends upon complex structures in nature. The book develops a parallel argument that human evil stems from the evolution of personality.
Автор: Kaveny, Cathleen (darald And Juliet Libby Professor Of Law And Theology, Boston College) Название: Ethics at the edges of law ISBN: 0190612290 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190612290 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 36420.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: An interdisciplinary conversation between law and Christian thought exists, but has so far been centered in the legal academy. Law scholars have fruitfully critiqued contemporary legal and jurisprudential issues by drawing upon concepts and norms from the field of religious ethics. However, the conversation needs to move in the opposite direction as well-centered in religious studies and theology and reaching out to the legal field. Ethics at the Edges of Law begins this movement by arguing for the discipline of law as a valuable source of moral wisdom and conceptual insight for ethicists. Cathleen Kaveny shows how the work of important contemporary figures in Christian ethics, including John Noonan, Stanley Hauerwas, and Margaret Farley, can be enriched and illuminated by engagement with particular aspects of the American legal tradition. The book is divided into three parts: Part I, Narratives and Norms, examines how the legal tradition can shed light on the development of religious and moral traditions. Part II, Love, Justice, and Law, uses particular legal cases to advance questions about the relationship of love and justice in Christian ethics. Part III, Legal Categories and Theological Problems, shows how legal concepts can reframe and even resolve moral controversies within religious communities. With this book, Kaveny leads the way towards a mutually profitable exchange between the American legal tradition and the tradition of Christian ethics.

Is There A Reason Why We Exist?
The value or significance of anything, including life, is found in its meaning. An innate desire to matter which comes from our souls, naturally, causes us to question our value; yet we live in a society where the value and sanctity of human life has increasingly diminished. Slowly, our hearts are becoming desensitized to acts of terrorism, chemical warfare, uncivil protests, merciless mass shootings, live media killings, suicides, genocides, millions of aborted destinies (babies), state sponsored euthanasia, and the drug epidemic that's ravaging our communities. Why does it seem as if the lives of animals are more passionately protected than human beings? People need to know the meaning or reason why they exist so that they won't devalue our most sacred gift--life.
Life is more than just existing, and at some point, we begin to wonder about its meaning. It is a universal question that extends beyond the borders of country, age, ethnicity, ideology, religion, culture, and socioeconomic status. Men throughout history have sought and shared ideas on almost every subject in life in an attempt to gain some understanding. The reality of life and the inevitability of death have sparked many debates among the greatest minds in human History. In my own pursuit to understand, I have found myself left only with more questions. Finally, after watching bees pollinate and trees bear fruit, I had an epiphany; what makes us who we are, our uniqueness, give us reason to exist, and the only way to fully make sense of our necessity is to seek the architect of life, Yahweh. He is the key which unlocks the mystery behind why we exist.
When we reach the age where the time behind us is more than the time before us, the need to understand and find closure about our existence intensifies. Faced with our own mortality, we tend to contemplate questions such as:
Who am I?
Does a creator really exist?
Why am I here?
Where do I come from?
When I die, where will I go?
What does this all mean?
The Meaning will address some of the toughest questions in life as well as share foundational wisdom to the many idea's life consist of. It is a vivid picture that discloses just how intentional our Creator is in fulfilling His plan. Regardless of how or who we've arrived to in life, to God all lives matter. Nothing in life just happens, and nothing or no one in life is without reason or value.

Описание: Divine Providence and Human Agency develops an understanding of God and God's relation to creation that perceives God as sovereign over creation while, at the same time, allowing for a meaningful notion of human freedom. This book provides a bridge between contemporary approaches that emphasise human freedom, such as process theology and those influenced by it, and traditional theologies that stress divine omnipotence.This book argues that it is essential for Christian theology to maintain that God is ultimately in charge of history: otherwise there would be no solid grounds for Christian hope. Yet, the modern human self-understanding as free agent within certain limitations must be taken seriously. Jensen approaches this apparent contradiction from within a consistently trinitarian framework. Jensen argues that a Christian understanding of God must be based on the experience of the saving presence of Christ in the Church, leading to an apophatic and consistently trinitarian theology. This serves as the framework for the discussion of divine omnipotence and human freedom. On the basis of the theological foundation established in this book, it is possible to frame the problem in a way that makes it possible to live within this tension. Building on this foundation, Jensen develops an understanding of history as the unfolding of the divine purpose and as an expression of God's very being, which is self-giving love and desire for communion. This book offers an important contribution to the debate of the doctrine of God in the context of an evolutionary universe.
