In Thoreau’s God, Richard Higgins invites seekers—religious or otherwise—to walk with the great Transcendentalist through a series of meditations on his spiritual life. Thoreau offers us no creed, but his writings encourage reflection on how to live, what to notice, and what to love. Though his quest was deeply personal, Thoreau devoted his life to communicating his experience of an infinite, wild, life-giving God.

In the Bible, the Apostle John twice says that "God is Love." Nowhere else do we find those precise words. Most people assume that John simply meant to tell us that God loves us. But what if he meant more than that. This book suggests that John's meaning might go well beyond that.

How is it that we have so lost sight of the meaning of the human person that our very biological sex is seen as just another medical problem to be solved by technique? In a society that has rejected all moral norms, that refuses to honor God as Creator, what hope do we have of stemming the tide of scientific intervention into even the most sacred dimensions of our humanity? In this prescient volume, originally published in 1984, the eminent theological ethicist Oliver O’Donovan offers a penetrating analysis of our confusion over human nature and the proper boundaries of medical science.

For 50 years, John B. Cobb, Jr. has been teaching listeners that theology is not confined to biblical and doctrinal exegesis but rightly includes economics, politics, education, and science. His prophetic warnings about climate change date back to the early 1970s; his critiques of higher education and American foreign policy are incisive. But for all the pertinence of his views, Cobb has refrained from giving them full expression until now. In the preface to this book, which he aptly names his confession, Cobb writes:

This audiobook explains why Gentiles have never been bound by kosher food laws, Jewish temple rituals, or the Saturday Sabbath.

In On Ecclesiastical Theology (Περὶ τῆς Ἐκκλησιαστικῆς Θεολογίας), Eusebius of Caesarea, often hailed as the "Father of Church History," ventures beyond historical narrative to offer a profound exploration of Christian theology. Written against the backdrop of doctrinal controversies in the fourth century, this work defends Nicene orthodoxy while engaging critically with the theological innovations of his day. Eusebius examines the nature of God, the Logos, and the relationship between the Father and the Son, weaving together scriptural exegesis, ...

Easily the most important advance in Judeo-Christian relations in 100 years, Commonwealth Theology (CT) cuts across denominational divisions to reveal God’s plan for the Church and the Jews. CT is based on a more literal interpretation of the Scriptures. Interpretations have, since the 2nd century, been influenced by man’s philosophy and politics. Beyond the basics of Christian salvation, mainstream theologies are at odds. Catholic, Reform, and Evangelical interpretations of Bible prophecy don’t agree because they have all overlooked the obvious. Is it possible that the truth has been...

Noll's Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind shows how the orthodox Christology confessed in the ancient Christian creeds, far from hindering or discouraging serious scholarship, can supply the motives, guidance, and framework for learning. Christian faith, Noll argues, can richly enhance intellectual engagement in the various academic disciplines - and he demonstrates how by applying his insights to the fields of history (his own area of expertise), science, and biblical studies in particular.

In this fifth volume of a multi-year translation project by the Davenant Institute, we present key sections from Book V of Hooker’s "Laws," in which Hooker thoroughly yet succinctly lays out the Reformed yet catholic perspective on both Christology and the sacraments. Long regarded as both the theological and rhetorical high point of the "Laws," these chapters provide a survey of the church’s historic teaching on the person of Christ and our union with him, as well as an irenic defense of Reformed distinctives over against the Catholic, Lutheran, and anti-sacramental alternatives.

It is often said that “no one spoke more about hell than Jesus.” This book examines the words of the Savior of the World to see if that statement is true. What if the teaching that there is a place of never-ending punishment is the result of bad interpretations of things Jesus said? And what if the teaching that there is a “hell” was not passed on by the original disciples? Is never-ending torment consistent with what Jesus said about love and forgiveness?

In Final Warning, beloved pastor and best-selling author Carl Gallups explores the stunning visions of the Apostle John as found in the seven trumpets of Revelation and overlays them on major events in the 20th and 21st centuries. How do the two world wars line up with John the Revelator's visions? Could it really be that the Chernobyl meltdown was foretold in the Bible almost 2,000 years before it happened? Does the rebirth of Israel indicate the last days are upon us?

The time has come to reenvision Christian theology without contradictory teachings laced with fear. It is time for a theology of love and miracles. Richard Smoley reframes Christian theology using logical, consistent, and easy-to-understand teachings of unconditional love and forgiveness. He draws inspiration not only from the Bible, but also from Hinduism, Buddhism, Gnosticism, and from esoteric and mystical teachings, such as A Course in Miracles and the Sefer Yetzirah, the oldest known Kabbalistic text.

What does our Catholic faith teach us about eating well? Some of us eat too much food. Or we eat too little. Often, we eat without gratitude, without charity, without respect. But, as award-winning author and food-blogger Emily Stimpson Chapman explains in The Catholic Table, with a sacramental worldview, the supernatural gift of God's grace can transform and heal us through the food we make, eat, and share.

This book - simple and powerful - is the result of Murray's passionate exploration of the issue of surrender: why it's seemingly impossible and yet completely necessary.

Meaning is not simply discovered but created. Two exceptional thinkers who can help us with this creative meaning-making process are the French academic René Girard and the British philosopher Alfred North Whitehead. Dr. Rabe demonstrates that deep, broad, and significant harmonies exist between process philosophy and mimetic theory. Girard enriches Whitehead through exemplification, and Whitehead enriches Girard through an expansion of the overall narrative and deeper ontological insights into the processes that made us human. The result is an illuminating unveiling of the biases we ...

"天國與地獄"不僅在探討靈魂的歸宿, 也進入了史威登堡深邃的基督教神學與聖經詮釋. 他並非只是哲學家或秘宗學者, 而是一位以獨特方式解讀聖經的靈視者. 他的思想超越了傳統神學, 並以親身體驗和靈性洞察, 揭示天堂, 地獄, 以及靈魂的最終命運. 史威登堡在本書中提出了一個革命性的觀點, 天國與地獄並非上帝強制審判人送往的領域, 而是靈魂依其內在選擇自動進入的境界. 他強調聖經的象徵性認為其文字背後蘊藏著更深層的靈性意義. 例如, 聖經中提到的"新耶路撒冷", 在他的詮釋中並非一座地理上的城市, 而是一個象徵人類靈性提升的境界. 此外他認為天使並非上帝特別創造的靈物, 而是那些在世時選擇慈善行並愛神的靈魂之自然轉化. 這與基督教的傳統觀點形成鮮明對比. 史威登堡也探討了基督教的核心概念, 靈魂的重生, 他認為真正的信仰並不是口頭的信念或宗教的儀式, 而是人內在的轉變. 只有透過善行與愛, 靈魂才能與天堂的光輝相契合. 他的神學思想在某種程度上與儒家"格物致知"的理念產生共鳴. 人的道德選擇直接影響靈魂的昇華與終極歸宿. 他的神學也與道家"人法地, 地法天, 天法道, 道法自然" 的理念相呼應. 對於華人聽眾, 這本書不僅是基督教神學的啟示, 也是一場跨文化的靈性對話. 當你聆聽史威登堡的靈視世界, 你會發現天國與地獄並非遙遠的概念, 而是我們每一天的選擇所塑造的最終歸宿.

The church is filled with people asking, "Is this it? Is this all the Christian life is supposed to be?" They long to experience more of God's presence - they just don't know how to get there. Some have been burned by "charismania." Others are fearful of it. Is there a way to experience the Spirit - without the weirdness? Author and pastor Alan Kraft provides a biblical pathway into the exhilaration of an everyday experience with the Holy Spirit, showing how normal it can be to hear God's voice, know his love, and walk in his power.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is notable for its observance of Saturday as the old Jewish Sabbath, but its identity extends beyond this practice. Adherents hold the writings of their prophetess, Ellen G. White, as divinely inspired and inerrant, akin to the Bible. These teachings are the cornerstone of various Adventist doctrines, including Sabbatarianism, the Investigative Judgment, Vegetarianism, Soul Sleep, and other unconventional beliefs. Particularly contentious is the notion that salvation is earned through strict adherence to the Old Testament law. Similar to other cult-like ...
