Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often, we move through this life on a fast track. I've never officiated, or attended a funeral where there wasn't at least some sense of surprise, or regret that "this life" had ended. Yet, we all face the time when "this life" will end. Still we rush to get, be, and do things that we hope will give us some security and assurance of our place in life. The most tragic outcome of life's fast track is the strained, discarded, and sometimes broken relationships that result from our frantic pace of living; not to mention the loss of life's simple moments.

Book excerpt: Many people today are asking the "meaning-making" questions. We want our lives to have meaning. We want to know how our faith informs our work life, how our family life enhances our spirituality, and how we can feel less fragmented and more whole. These are the spiritual questions of life. They are wisdom-seeking invitations stirring within the depths of our souls. These are the hungers that theological reflection can help feed. This book offers an understanding of theological reflection--a model and a method. It will not only illustrate how readers may use theological reflection in their own spiritual development but will also show how to facilitate the process with others. --From the introduction In "Theological Reflection: Connecting Faith and Life," principles of theological reflection are presented to help the believer connect faith teaching and life.

Download or read book Aquinas and Calvin on Romans written by Charles Raith II and published by Oxford University Press (UK). This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquinas and Calvin on Romans is a comparative analysis of John Calvin's and Thomas Aquinas's commentaries on Romans with a focus on our participation in God's work of salvation. The study accomplishes two principle goals: it demonstrates that Calvin's critiques of his "scholastic" opponents arising from his reading of Romans fail to find a target in Aquinas's interpretation while Calvin's principle positive assertions are upheld by Aquinas as well; and itillustrates the nonparticipatory dimensions of Calvin's thought and how those dimensions create difficulties in his reading of Romans--difficulties not found in Aquinas's more participatory reading. CharlesRaith further suggests how Calvin's interpretation, especially on the topics of justification and merit, should be augmented by Aquinas's thought. Raith then rereads Calvin's criticisms of the Council of Trent in light of these suggestions.

Download or read book Shalom, the Spirit and Pentecostal Conversion written by Grace Milton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Shalom, the Spirit and Pentecostal Conversion, Grace Milton presents a uniquely practical-theological model of Pentecostal conversion, centered on empirical data from a congregational case study. Pentecostal-Charismatic conversion is commonly equated with a dramatic, “Damascus road” type event, which directly opposes prevailing theories within the social sciences that conversion is a more gradual process over time. This raises the question, how far do these Pentecostal stereotypes reflect lived experience? In this book, for the first time, the experiences and beliefs of ordinary Pentecostal believers are drawn into conversation with conversion theories from the human sciences (sociology, psychology and anthropology) and theology. The result is a distinctly Pentecostal model of conversion, which interprets religious transformation through the theological lens of Shalom.

Download or read book Explaining Evil written by J. Harold Ellens and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this three-volume set, international scholars from across a broad spectrum of scholarly fields examine the concept of evil throughout history and world cultures from religious, scientific, psychological, and political perspectives. The manifestation of evil has provided a convenient theme for popular culture entertainment, ranging from the classic film The Exorcist, to almost all of Stephen King's horror novels, to video games such as Resident Evil. Unfortunately, dealing with—and attempting to overcome—the forces of evil is a pervasive problem in the real world as well. Explaining Evil addresses incidents of evil from ancient times to modern day around the globe. Concepts of evil within the big three religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—are examined, as well as in Chinese philosophy and Native American beliefs. The political or national expressions of evil are explored, such as the "axis of evil" that culminated in World War II. These volumes identify the causes and effects of evil, and suggest possible remedies to humanity's inescapable flaw.
