El anticristo propugna la superación del nihilismo y del cristianismo.

Julian Barnes' new book is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his brother (a philosopher), a meditation on morality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God, and homage to the French writer Jules Renard. Though he warns us that 'this is not my autobiography', the result is a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers.

Luis de Molina's Concordia liberi arbitrii (Harmony of Free Will), first published in 1588, is a landmark work in 16th-century philosophy and theology. Emerging from the revival of Iberian scholasticism during the Reformation era, it grapples with the perennial question of reconciling human freedom with divine grace, providence, foreknowledge, and predestination. This complex problem ignited the fierce De Auxiliis controversy, a major doctrinal dispute within the Catholic Church. This volume presents Part 1: On the Power of Free Will, where Molina lays the essential groundwork for his ...

The Augustine Way recovers Augustine's mature apologetic voice to address the challenges facing today's church. It offers a compelling argument for Christian witness that is rooted in tradition and engaged with contemporary culture. The book focuses on Augustine's best-known works, Confessions and The City of God, to retrieve his scriptural and ecclesial approach for a holistic apologetic witness.

What if Nothing was not the absence of meaning, but its birthplace? What if divinity was not found in certainty, but in the unknowable, the untouchable, and the undefinable space beyond it? This is not a book of answers. The Gospel of Nothing is a journey into paradox, an exploration of the void from which all things emerge. It dares to ask: Is the sacred something we can hold, or is it the space left untouched? Is the divine a presence—or an absence? We are creatures obsessed with meaning, weaving it into the fabric of existence, unable to escape the instinct to search.

Eternal Wisdom explains the connection between art, mythology, spirituality, and religion through the language of symbols. These concepts are taken outside of the context of religious philosophy to explain how these ideas should be revised to achieve a positive cultural outlook for the increasingly bleak modern era. Archetypes and mystical experiences possess an inherent immortal existence in the collective human subconscious. They are eternally existent in artistic symbolism and spiritual traditions. Part earthly and part-other worldly, these hidden forces interact with humanity by ...

Many individuals are not aware that there is a God. I am here to tell you, there is truly a God. God found me broken, in pain, and fragile. I almost lost my life at the hands of a violent partner in 2018 and then, after that, I was sexually assaulted as an adult-keep in mind I had been sexually assaulted by two individuals when I was eight. However, God spoke to me and told me to remember to never give up. And, because of my faith in God, I did not give up, and I will never give up.

This volume gathers studies by prominent scholars and philosophers about the question how have major figures from the history of philosophy, and some contemporary philosophers, addressed "the ultimate why question": why is there anything at all rather than nothing whatsoever? The authors take this question seriously, striving to go beyond accounting for the present state of reality as distinguished from a prior or subsequent state, to the more profound question of discerning why anything whatsoever exists.

En este libro Van Til argumenta que, aunque el idealismo y el cristianismo parecen estar aliados, existen diferencias fundamentales entre ellos. El idealismo enfatiza la inmanencia de Dios, mientras que el cristianismo también sostiene la trascendencia. A pesar de la alianza entre ambas corrientes, el autor defiende la fe en el Dios del cristianismo como más filosóficamente sostenible. Argumenta que la concepción central de Dios en el teísmo cristiano ofrece una unidad posible a la experiencia humana, mientras que el idealismo tiende a abandonar su ideal inicial de encontrar ...

Do you believe human life is inherently valuable? Unfortunately, in the secularized age of state-sanctioned euthanasia and abortion-on-demand, many are losing faith in the simple value of human life. To the disillusioned, human beings are a cosmic accident whose intrinsic value is worth no more than other animals. The Death of Humanity explores our culture's declining respect for the sanctity of human life drawing on philosophy and history to reveal the dark road ahead for society if we lose our faith.

What is the Fruit of Knowledge? Is it connected with carnal knowledge, or is there a deeper meaning? What is the significance of the angel with the flaming sword that guards the way to Eden? How did the vengeful and jealous God of the Old Testament become the loving and forgiving God of the New Testament? What does the word 'Jehovah' actually mean and why does its nature change throughout the Biblical narrative? In the previous volume, Lambert revealed the mysteries hidden in the Bible's first creation account. Now he returns to Genesis and continues with the second story of creation. ...

In Volume One, Lambert pulled back the veil on the secrets hidden within the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Now he turns his attention to the Holy Gospels. Using various texts from the Nag Hammadi library, including the Gospel of Thomas, Lambert identifies a list of seven key parables found within the Synoptic Gospels. According to the texts, the successful interpretation of these seven parables is enough to unlock the mysteries hidden within the teachings of Jesus. "... my primary desire was to find a map, if you will, which would lead to the next section of the Synoptic Gospels we ...

Questions of what happens after death were vital in Shakespeare's time, as it is today. And, like today, the answers were by no means universally agreed upon. Exploring how particular texts and characters answer these questions, Shakespeare and the Afterlife showcases the vitality and originality of the author's language and thinking. We encounter characters with very personal visions of what awaits them after death, and these visions reveal new insights into these individuals' motivations and concerns as they navigate the world of the living.
