Описание: In this new translation, Laruelle offers a serious and rigorous challenge to contemporary theological thought, calling into question the dominant understanding of the relation between Christ, theology, and philosophy, not only from a theoretical, but also political perspective. He achieves this through an inversion of St Paul’s reading of Christ, through which the ground for Christianity shifts. It is no longer the ‘event’ of the resurrection, as philosophical and theological operation (Badiou’s St Paul), so much as the Risen Himself that forms the starting point for a non-philosophical confession. Between the Greek and the Jew, Laruelle places the Gnostic-Christ in order to disrupt and overturn such theologico-philosophical interpretations of the resurrection and set the Risen within the radical immanence of Man-in-Person. Forming the basis for a non-Christianity, Clandestine Theology offers a more radical deconstruction of Christianity, resting upon the last identity of Man and the humanity of Christ as opposed to endless deferral or difference (Nancy) or the universalising economy of Ideas and Events (Badiou).

Do you seek the truth? Do you value reason, science, and independent thinking? Are you skeptical of beliefs that people maintain merely on faith, yet you remain interested in the big questions of life? Do you hope there could be a greater purpose to the universe, if only that were realistic? If so, then philosopher Joshua Rasmussen can encourage you in your journey. Beginning with his own story of losing faith and the belief in any ultimate purpose in life, he then builds a bridge to a series of universal truths about ultimate reality. Using only the instruments of reason and common experience, Rasmussen constructs a pathway--step by step, brick by brick--that he argues can lead to meaning and, ultimately, a vision of God.
You might be a believer, but do you struggle to believe God really will do what He has promised. God tells us, "All things are possible to those that believe."Do you have more in common with doubting Thomas than King David or Mary? You love God, dream big and work hard to put life into the vision that thrills your heart. You know God CAN do it. But will He? And through YOU?Internally you scream "What If?", or prayerfully wish "If Only " Whatever happens, "Even If" disappointment and delay interrupts your journey, author Gill Bentham convinces you that the tests are worthwhile. She reveals a powerful truth: When you live "As If" your dream has already happened, it is yours
Life coach Gill, gently teaches through the ancient character Jacob, a meandering canal cruise metaphor and her own anecdotes and observations. You will recognise a far deeper goal than the lure of fulfilment. Simply put, your aspirations are unattainable until you desire them less than the One who put them within you.
In this book, you will learn the unforced rhythms of grace as you:
Master the deceptive power of reason, emotion and will
Embrace the transforming power of weakness, brokenness and loss
Relax into deep assurance of your value, potential and calling
Stand fully confident, as His unique choice for your appointed time
This is a truly imaginative Pilgrims Progress birthed at the turn of the millennium for every twenty-first century believer who is weary of the superficiality of spiritual platitudes and sickly-sweet recipes for success.

Описание: Faith-based organizations continue to play a significant role in the provision of social work services in many countries. This text explores their various roles and relationships to social work practice, and includes examples from different countries and a range of religious traditions.
Christianity in America is experiencing a rapid decline. According to a Pew 2015 Research Report (America's Changing Religious Landscape) those that identify themselves as Christian dropped 7% in just seven years (between 2007 and 2014). Meanwhile, those who consider themselves atheist or agnostic almost doubled (from 3.7% to 7.1%) in the same time period. The trend among young adults is even more dramatic. More than a third of those 37 and under are religiously unaffiliated.
For those who left the faith, we could ask why? How did you come to the point of leaving? There would be a variety of reasons, including 'coverups of scandals, ' 'an abusive family, ' 'lack of answers in times of crisis, ' 'the existence of evil in the world, ' and 'past and present evil done by believers.'
More reasons can be unearthed with a fill in the blank question: Christians are _____. Expected answers include: 'hypocritical, ' 'judgmental, ' 'gossips, ' 'bigoted, ' 'narrow-minded, ' and 'uninformed.'
If we ask them another fill in the blank question: Christianity is ______, possible responses are 'full of rules, ' 'out of date, ' and 'false.'
Of course, these answers will be met with defensiveness and anger from those whose faith remains strong. Nevertheless, the responses are valid reasons for one to doubt and eventually turn away. The question is: 'do believers have answers that go beyond simply quoting a bunch of Bible verses?'
When one is a member of a group, they subconsciously accept an inherent set of worldview assumptions. Some of these may be valid. Others, not so much. When we experience a faith crisis, we begin to question those assumptions; all of them. Everything is up-for-grabs. Even the existence of God is not for sure. So, simply repeating religious dogma with a louder voice will not work. It will not convince; it is bound to fail and drive a person further away.
There are many catalysts that can trigger a faith crisis. In my case, my son's death was a first blow. This was followed by a second blow. I learned about the emotional, physical, and sexual abuse experienced by my wife and other missionary kids at Mamou Alliance Academy in Guinee. Then, we learned of similar atrocities committed by mainstream Christian denominations against indigenous children right up to the second half of the 20th century.
It was time to question everything. How can God allow these things to happen? Does He even exist? What do modern scientific discoveries have to say about evolution and the age of the Earth? Can a book like the Bible really be inerrant, or is it just a collection of ancient writings? The Old Testament is so violent and many of its laws seem so unreasonable. Why is modern Christianity focused on end time apocalyptic prophecies? TV evangelists use God manipulation strategies to prey on the week. So much seems to be emotionally-based wishful thinking.
So, my wife and I spent a number of years working through these issues. Eventually, with much difficulty, we found our way back to faith. The book, 'Wrestling with Faith' presents conclusions that work for us. I have to point out, that our issues might not be the same that others face. Our answers will most-certainly not resonate with everyone.
Nevertheless, we hope that this book will be helpful to those who are still hoping for answers. I believe that a living faith provides meaning to life. When we considered life without faith, we saw emptiness. In my wife's words, a black void to fall into with no way back.
I hope you find the book engaging. In our journey, we've had many interesting open family conversations. Everyone was free to express their hopes, their fears, and their thoughts. May you be able to do the same.

To live any other way not only displeases and dishonors God, but it relegates us to misery and ineffectiveness." the author. "Christians will gain a deeper sense of their walk in faith and in God in reading this "manual of faith".

Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s, significant numbers of Haitian immigrants began to arrive and settle in Miami. Overcoming some of the most foreboding obstacles ever to face immigrants in America, they, their children, and now their grandchildren, as well as more recently arriving immigrants from Haiti, have diversified socioeconomically. Together, they have made South Florida home to the largest population of native-born Haitians and diasporic Haitians outside of the Caribbean and one of the most significant Caribbean immigrant communities in the world. Religion has played a central role in making all of this happen.
Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith is a historical and ethnographic study of Haitian religion in immigrant communities, based on fieldwork in both Miami and Haiti, as well as extensive archival research. Where many studies of Haitian religion limit themselves to one faith, Rey and Stepick explore Catholicism, Protestantism, and Vodou in conversation with one another, suggesting that despite the differences between these practices, the three faiths ultimately create a sense of unity, fulfillment, and self-worth in Haitian communities. This meticulously researched and vibrantly written book contributes to the growing body of literature on religion among new immigrants, as well as providing a rich exploration of Haitian faith communities.

Описание: Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely regarded as North America's most influential theologian. Throughout the early decades of his ministry he engaged in a public and sustained debate with 'Arminian' theology, a crusade that contributed significantly to the events of the Great Awakening. This book investigates the contours and substance of this theological war. In establishing a clearer historical context for this polemic, McClenahan seeks to overturn the scholarly consensus that Edwards' own theology was a twisting of the Reformed tradition. By demonstrating that Edwards' interlocutor was the dead English Archbishop, John Tillotson, McClenahan provides the hermeneutical key for many of Edwards' most significant works. Justification by faith is one of the most contested doctrines in contemporary theology and Jonathan Edwards, referred to as America's Augustine, wrote extensively on this area. His is a voice that many people are keen to hear.
