Once upon a time, Postmodernism was a buzz word. It pronounced Modernism dead or at least in the throes of death. It was a wave that swept over Christendom, promising to wash away sterile, dogmatic and outmoded forms of church. But whatever happened to postmodernism? It was regarded as the start of a major historical transition to something new and promising and hailed as a major paradigm shift. Is it a philosophy that has passed its "sell-by" date? No! The radical fringe has become the dominant view and has been integrated into all aspects of life, including the Christian church. With the ...

Seen as godless by the religious and weak by the atheists, secularism mostly has been misunderstood. In How to Be Secular, Berlinerblau argues for a return to America’s hard-won secular tradition; the best way to protect religious diversity and freedom lies in keeping an eye on the encroachment of each into the other. Berlinerblau passionately defends the virtues of secularism, reminds us what it is and what it can protect, and urges us to mobilize around its cause, which is for all Americans to continue to enjoy freedom for - and from - religion.

Christianity wasn't born in a bubble. In the intellectually vibrant world of the Roman Empire, a new faith collided with centuries of Greek philosophical thought. This clash sparked a revolution in thinking about God, the soul, and the meaning of life. The Birth of Christian Philosophical Thought delves into the fascinating world of the Church Fathers, the pioneering thinkers who bridged the gap between Christian faith and classical philosophy. From fiery apologists defending Christianity in a pagan world to brilliant system-builders like Augustine of Hippo, this book takes you on an ...

The Satanic Book of the Dead, Extrema Unctio contains a satanic ritualistic text on dying. It is intended for the dying, for the already dead, but also for those who experience death during their lifetime. The text describes real human agony, but also the experience of the death of spiritual delusions and the rise to life in the glory of flesh and blood. Extrema Unctio is a satanic book of passage, a ritual of the last anointing before ascending into the luciferic light, into the realm of undifferentiation.

The Satanic Kerygma contains satanic godless theology - The Mystery of Godlessness. This book recognizes the satanic nature of things and shows the process of transformation of the Satanist, his learning of the ungodly truth about the Satanic All Things and himself, in whose subconscious the primal instincts, the demons, are awakened as a result of the call of the evil spirit, that ancient power of nature, being beyond good and evil and beyond all unnatural religious morality, and the subsequent process of becoming one with the Satanic Being - the All Things.

Success in life is not measured by the absence of difficulty. Success in life is overcoming the difficulties you face with dignity, and emerging with you integrity intact.

John Locke's theory of toleration is generally seen as advocating the privatization of religion. This interpretation has become conventional wisdom: secularization is widely understood as entailing the privatization of religion, and the separation of religion from power. This audiobook turns that conventional wisdom on its head and argues that Locke secularizes religion, that is, makes it worldly, public, and political. In the name of diverse citizenship, Locke reconstructs religion as persuasion, speech, and fashion.

The satanic missal “Missale Satanae” contains a detailed description of the preparation and performance of the satanic rituals of the Black Mass and Satanic exorcism according to the impious rite of Ecclesia Luciferi System. In the briefest of terms, the content of the Missale Satanae was based on an analysis of the states of religious ecstasy found in various cults around the world and on Western Christian religious and ecclesiastical ritual writings created in the 16th century, but based on even earlier rituals.

A democratic republic depends upon two unassailable truths: Freedom can only exist (1) where the laws of God are considered absolute and (2) where the majority believe that God, not man and not government, created men and women equal. This book is founded on the principle that only truth can make us free and that the Holy Bible is the foundation of our freedom. This book explores law - the laws of God and the laws of man, and defines freewill, agency, freedom, and liberty - and presents what is necessary to maintain our liberty.

While "missions" used to be the territory of experts and missionary professionals, globalization has made the issues and needs of our world accessible to average Americans. Many American Christians feel overwhelmed by the scope of the brokenness in the world and conclude all they can do is go on with their lives. Others respond by giving and praying, and still others want to do more. What Can I Do shows that global mission is something we all can be part of in tangible ways.

As persecutions in increasing number threaten us, so the more are we called on to give earnest thought to the question of how faith ought to receive them, and the duty of carefully considering it concerns you no less, who no doubt, by not accepting the Comforter, the guide to all truth, have, as was natural, opposed us hitherto in regard to other questions also.

“Jesus said, ‘Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.’” This was banned by the budding Christian Church 2,000 years ago, and is still deemed a heretical teaching to this day. The Verbal Truth of Christianity brings you to the crux of the central message of all religions - the revealing of a truer nature of reality, the defining of God and the cosmos in believable and constructive terms....
