Miguel De Unamuno S Quest For Faith

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

How can this life have meaning if at my death nothing of me remains? This is the essential question with which Miguel de Unamuno, the most accomplished Spanish man of letters of the twentieth century, struggled during his entire life. Unamuno's views have been the subject of vigorous debate: Was he a Catholic, a Protestant, or an unbeliever? Miguel de Unamuno's Quest for Faith seeks to appreciate and clarify Unamuno's faith commitments without diminishing or exaggerating them. His historical context pulled him to equate knowledge with science, but his existential angst told him humans must be something more than short-lived products of matter. He believed that his philosophy and the resulting faith that he held must have consequences for the choices he made to live out his life meaningfully. Jan E. Evans surveys what was at stake in Unamuno's desire to believe and the stance that he came to live with. That stance is contrasted with thinkers whom he read and admired: Soren Kierkegaard, Blaise Pascal, and William James. Ultimately, this book tests Unamuno's philosophy against his own criterion that demanded concrete actions that were motivated by principled passion. It draws new readers of Unamuno into his world and provides critical new perspectives for those who know Unamuno's work well.

The Praeger Handbook Of Faith Based Schools In The United States K 12

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Exploring a subject that is as important as it is divisive, this two-volume work offers the first current, definitive work on the intricacies and issues relative to America's faith-based schools. The Praeger Handbook of Faith-Based Schools in the United States, K–12 is an indispensable study at a time when American education is increasingly considered through the lenses of race, ethnicity, gender, and social class. With contributions from an impressive array of experts, the two-volume work provides a historical overview of faith-based schooling in the United States, as well as a comprehensive treatment of each current faith-based school tradition in the nation. The first volume examines three types of faith-based schools—Protestant schools, Jewish schools, and Evangelical Protestant homeschooling. The second volume focuses on Catholic, Muslim, and Orthodox schools, and addresses critical issues common to faith-based schools, among them state and federal regulation and school choice, as well as ethnic, cultural, confessional, and practical factors. Perhaps most importantly for those concerned with the questions and controversies that abound in U.S. education, the handbook grapples with outcomes of faith-based schooling and with the choices parents face as they consider educational options for their children.

Lie Of The Ages

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

"For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciv- iousness (license for sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." Jude 4 Could there possibly exist a deadly doctrine so widespread in Christendom that those who don't teach it are actually considered by many to be "unorthodox"? Are some so apostate in this late hour that they call this brazen false teaching "orthodox Christianity?" Not only did Christ nor His apostles teach such a doctrine (Lie of the Ages), they actually identified this exact teaching as heretical and warned that those who teach it are "ungodly men...denying the only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ." Could the Holy Spirit have been warning the Church here through Jude of the severe danger of believing the first lie ever told to mankind and the prevalent nature and impending danger of this Lie of the Ages? Would it intrigue you to discover the original lie told by the sworn enemy of all souls whom the Son of God stated is the father of all lies? (John 8:44) Here are some of the questions that will be irrefutably answered with biblical clarity in this landmark volume: Exactly what lie is this Lie of the Ages and what damage has it caused and is it causing? Are millions of people within Christendom being taught this same deadly lie and told it is biblical? Is this lie endangering the eternal souls of those who have embraced it? Are you living the Lie of the Ages? How secure is the born again believer in Christ? Are many of our leaders changing the truth of God into a lie while turning the grace of God into a license to sin? Is the authentic believer unconditionally eternally secure and certain for Heaven, even if he lives in sin and open rebellion after being saved? What does God require of men to be saved from eternal damnation and secure for eternal glory? What did the prophets, Christ, and His apostles say concerning this teaching? Are those who have been born again and are now backslidden promised eternal life (Heaven) even if they do not repent before dying? Can the true disciple possess deep assurance and be safe, sound, & secure in the Savior of Scripture? Discover the answers to these and many more intriguing questions in this bold and enlightening look into one of history's most impassioned controversies.

Religious Experience And The Creation Of Scripture

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Mark Wreford examines the reasons that prompted the New Testament writers to create the texts which would become the formation of the Christian religion, exploring the possibility that certain religious experiences were understood as revelatory, and consequently inspired the writing of texts which were seen as special from their inception. Wreford uses Luke-Acts and Galatians as test-cases within the New Testament, reflecting both on the stated importance of religious experiences – whether the author's own or others' – to the development of these texts, and the status the texts claim for themselves. Wreford suggests that Luke-Acts offers a helpful example of the relationship between religious experience and the creation of Scripture, as an extensive narrative which reflects on early Christian claims to Spirit-inspired witness and which begins with an explicit authorial statement of purpose. Similarly, in Galatians, Paul's autobiographical account of God's revelation of Christ to him is the foundation of a letter that is intended to play an authoritative role in shaping its addressees' own faith and practice. Wreford argues that religious experiences are presented as the driving force behind the creation of the texts, examining how such religious experience links with notions of scripture and canonicity. He then asserts that both Luke and Paul understood themselves to be creating new scriptural writings on the basis of their relationship to new religious experiences, citing the experience and speech at Pentecost, the inclusion of gentiles in the experience, and Paul's own conversion experience as key elements behind the self-understanding of these New Testament authors.

The Conflict Between Faith And Experience And The Shape Of Psalms 73 83

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Stephen J. Smith enters the lively field of editorial-criticism of the Hebrew Psalter or Psalterexegese with this detailed investigation into the final form of Psalms 73-83. In the book, he engages scholarly disagreements over this collection's structure, the degree and nature of its literary unity, and the primary theological message(s) it communicates. Smith argues that the sequence of Psalms 73–82 - and possibly 83 – has a deliberate design that reflects a sustained focus on addressing, and resolving, a multidimensional collision between “faith” (i.e., core Israelite beliefs about God) and “experience” (i.e., the individual/community's lived experience of God) that was precipitated by God's prolonged absence in the Temple's destruction (c. 586/587 BCE). Parting ways with previous scholarship, Smith contends that a recursive organizing principle rooted in biblical parallelism structures the collection. Over the book's nine chapters, he makes the case that the editor(s) grouped its psalms into two major blocks (74-78; 79-82) of two sub-groupings each (74-76, 77-78; 79/82, 80-81) in order to develop a single topic in multiple dimensions: the severe threat that God's prolonged absence in the temple's destruction posed to the ongoing viability of various core Israelite beliefs about God, most fundamentally God's goodness. Smith makes the case that the collection is shaped to resolve this crisis by bolstering the reader's confidence in, and commitment to, these beliefs in the face of their apparent failure.
