My father's abstract painting that I chose for this book cover inspired the following analogies and insights about life.
At birth, in some ways, each of us starts life like an artist standing before a blank canvas, board or sheet of paper. For the duration of our earthly existence, we'll be creating a picture of our life which will also leave an imprint on those around us. Initially, it won't be clear what the picture is going to be - the design and images will continue to emerge as time goes on.
Symbolically, the picture may be formed with different media for a two-dimensional piece of art. Or, it may become a three-dimensional collage, mosaic, vase or a statue. Indeed we are all artists, but instead of the canvas and paint or other materials, the media of life are our bodies, minds and spirits creating our experiences and fashioning our lives. Though we all have common human experiences, each of us is also unique. In addition, everyone has both special gifts and certain liabilities, as well as a different style. As a result, every person will create a reality unlike anyone who has ever lived or will live.
A hidden and mysterious dimension to the art piece of our life is that of the transcendent Divine -- a guiding Hand working behind the scenes, though often unperceivably. While we have free will and choose our paths, which in turn lead to certain outcomes, at times we are guided into situations that shape the course of our lives in ways that we would have never expected or selected.
Some compare life to a divinely woven tapestry, that from below (our human perspective) looks like a tangled mess, but from the top (divine perspective) is a stunning design of awesome beauty - which while in our physical existence we can't perceive because of our limited senses. Ultimately, in God's perfect plan, whatever happens in this life will be for the good of ourselves and all others, even though it may not appear so at the time.
The cover painting also conveys to me the idea of life as a series of experiences, coming in various shapes and colours. For example, the browns and blacks might be difficult or traumatic experiences; the bright colours positive or edifying experiences; and the whites and yellows highs and special insights. Some of life's events may be both challenging and enlightening, as seen by the light and dark colours side by side. The yellow background could portray -blank spaces- yet to be filled before our life ends.
My father's painting, then, symbolically portrays what this book is about - it consists of several patches from the mosaic of my life with reflections on the wisdom and/or spiritual insights that have been gleaned from the various incidents. The book has two parts - Wisdom from Life and Spiritual Analogies from Life.
The experiences in the first part of the book, Wisdom from Life, each include a challenge or a question, and then suggest scriptural principles for how to effectively deal with such a situation. No -best way- or -the way- is given as each person and their circumstances are different. However, the wisdom may be helpful when one is faced with similar dilemmas of life.
The second part, Spiritual Analogies from Life, consists of stories, followed by biblical analogies and metaphors with the intent of providing glimpses into spiritual realities. All names have been changed to protect the privacy of those involved.
For those who desire to learn more about the biblical teachings behind the conclusions, footnotes provide scriptural references.
Автор: Mark W. Elliott Название: Providence Perceived: Divine Action from a Human Point of View ISBN: 3110310562 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110310566 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 123910.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book will offer an account not so much of God's Providence an sich, but rather of divine providence as experienced by believers and unbelievers. It will not ask questions about whether and how God knows the future, or how suffering can be accounted for (as is the case in the treatments by William Lane Craig, Richard Swinburne, or J. Sanders), but will focus on prayer and decision-making as a faithful and/or desperate response to the perception of God as having some controlling influence. The following gives an idea of the ground to be covered: The patristic foundations of the Christian view of Providence; The medieval synthesis of 'objective' and 'subjective' views; Reformational and Early Modern: the shift towards piety; Modern Enlightenment: Providence and Ethics; Barth and the Sceptics; The sense of Providence in the Modern Novel and World.

Partly in a desire to defend divine freedom and partly because it is seen as the only way of preserving a distinctive voice for theology, much contemporary theology has artificially restricted revelation and religious experience, effectively cutting off those who find God beyond the walls of the Church. Against this tendency, David Brown argues for divine generosity and a broader vision of reality that sees God deploying symbols (literary, visual and sacramental) as a means of mediating between the divine world and our own material existence. A sustained argument for divine interaction and more specifically the ways in which God speaks in the wider imaginative world, this volume calls for a careful listening exercise since symbols are richer and more open in their possibilities than their users often suppose. Not only is this true of the imagery of Scripture, even inanimate objects like buildings or hostile but creative artists can have important things to say to the believing Christian. An ideal introduction that also moves the conversation forward, this volume addresses foundations, the multivalent power of symbols, artists as theologians and meaning in religious architecture.

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.
Автор: Laela Zwollo Название: St. Augustine and Plotinus: the Human Mind as Image of the Divine ISBN: 900438779X ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004387799 Издательство: Brill Цена: 204550.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In Augustine and Plotinus: the Human Mind as Image of the Divine Laela Zwollo provides an inside view of two of the most influential thinkers of late antiquity: the Christian Augustine and the Neo-Platonist Plotinus. By exploring the finer points and paradoxes of their doctrines of the image of God (the human soul/intellect), the illustrious church father’s complex interaction with his most important non-biblical source comes into focus. In order to fathom Augustine, we should first grasp the beauty in Plotinus’ philosophy and its attractiveness to Christians. This monograph will contribute to a better understanding of the formative years of Christianity as well as later ancient philosophy. It can serve as a handbook for becoming acquainted with the two thinkers, as well as for delving into the profundity of their thought.
