  • - How Faith Can Survive Its Encounter with Science
    af John van Hagen
    318,95 kr.

    In Rescuing Religion John Van Hagen argues that psychological theories and models of psychotherapy can help one hold on to a religious worldview while simultaneously living in a world increasingly described in scientific terms. Rescuing Religion grapples with that tension as it focuses on science s recent challenges to the historicity of the major Bible stories: Moses never existed, Jesus did not start a church. Yet facing such challenges presents us with an opportunity for religious growth. We can now go behind those Bible stories and glimpse the storytellers who in their own times faced enormous crises of faith. We can learn from their struggles and be inspired to face our own global ones. Like those ancient authors, we can search for God s power moving through history, even as we realize that we, like them, can only describe it in finite terms. Throughout the book, readers are buoyed up by examples of remarkable individuals who have sensed and described this movement.

    af Susan M. Elli Elliott
    368,95 kr.

    `Family values' has long been seen as a code for a conservative perspective; whilst the Roman Empire centred its family values on a father-owner-master of the household, early Christians confronted that imperial model.

    af Thandeka
    333,95 - 373,95 kr.

  • af William O. Walker Jr
    263,95 kr.

    The apostle Paul is not an easy historical figure to understand or like. William O. Walker believes some of the animosity toward Paul stems from the fact that, if people are reading Paul's letters at all, they are not reading them carefully enough, they are interpreting them on the basis of certain preconceived notions, and they are not taking into account the cultural context.

  • - A Debate
     
    248,95 kr.

    Did the historical Jesus preach that God was about to bring an end to human history and impose the divine kingdom on the earth and all its peoples? Four eminent New Testament scholars -Dale Allison, Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, and Stephen Patterson- come together under the direction of Robert J. Miller to debate this, the single most important question about the historical Jesus. Borg, Crossan, and Patterson argue that Jesus taught that God's kingdom was already here, not that it was coming in the near future. Dale Allison defends the widely-held view that Jesus was an apocalyptic prophet. Everyone's cards are on the table in this candid exchange. The disagreements are sharp and the debate is both pointed and respectful. This book is an eloquent exploration of a pressing issue that strongly affects how we understand the historical Jesus and Christian life today.

  • - Getting Theology Right!
    af Nigel Leaves
    223,95 kr.

    In recent years, as there has been a fundamentalist resurgence in religion, it has at the same time increasingly come under attack from many quarters. In this wide-ranging book Nigel Leaves examines the main critics of religion: scientists, the new atheists, the spirituality revolution, and those who have done away with religion altogether. He does not confine himself solely to Christianity, but also discusses the attack on Islam from both within and outside its borders. Leaves proposes a unique theological response to the crises of belief. He wrestles religion from extremists and into the hands of reasonable and sane believers. He offers hope to the future direction of religion, because in the absence of a major theological revolution, religions will continue their further decline into either obscurity or fossilized fundamentalism. This is a ground-breaking book that not only analyses the current vibrant (and hostile) debate as to the value of religion today, but also offers a workable solution: religion must be rescued by good God-talk!
