Practical, heartfelt, and biblically informed, Jesus, the Master Teacher: Transforming our Hearts demonstrates how Jesus is the perfect template for a Christian teacher and learner while offering an exercise in spiritual formation. Dr. Shaw explores the motivation, identity, fundamental beliefs, questions, and communal relationships from which Jesus taught as he also demonstrated how to think, interact, communicate, and connect with him and each other. Throughout the chapters, she invites us to “pause to consider” meaningful thoughts and questions that help us take his teachings from ...

This work is a translation by R.C. Thompson from the original Assyrian incantation. It describes the "Maskim ghouls", the seven wicked demons of the Mesopotamian underworld. These demons were associated with plagues and disasters like earthquakes.

Does science have all the answers? Can it even deal with abstract reasoning that reaches beyond the world experienced by us? How can we be so sure that the physical world is sufficiently ordered to be intelligible to humans? How is it that mathematics, a product of human minds, can unlock the secrets of the physical universe? Are all such questions to be ruled out as inadmissible if science cannot settle them? Metaphysics has traditionally been understood as reasoning beyond the reach of science, sometimes even claiming realities that are beyond its grasp.

This book offers a close reading of Romans that treats Paul as a radical political thinker by showing the relationship between Paul's perspective and that of secular political theorists. Turning to both ancient political philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero) and contemporary post-Marxists (Agamben, Badiou, Derrida, and Žižek),

Is man's sole impulse the securing of his own approval? Do we love God or do we just love God's frequent-prayer program? Is what we call self-sacrifice really self-delusion? What's the Christian amount to tip a waiter? A spirited and passionate discussion.

Endorsements by Theologians, Pastors, Philosophers, Therapists Is Your God Good? takes on perhaps the greatest single obstacle to faith in the Christian God—the widespread occurrence of seemingly unfair and senseless suffering. Dave Jackson does not downplay the seriousness of the problem or offer simplistic solutions. Nor does he dodge the difficulty of certain biblical texts that portray God as the agent of evils but emphatically urges readers to consider Jesus Christ as the definitive revelation of God that corrects these all-too-human ancient, albeit “biblical” misconceptions of ...

What if the key to lasting transformation wasn’t found in your effort, but in a gift you’ve already been given? In God’s Great Grace, pastor and author Jeff Culver invites you to rediscover one of the most powerful and often misunderstood truths in the Christian life: grace isn’t just unmerited favor—it’s the very foundation of our faith, the lifeline to freedom, and the power source for living the life God intended. So many believers today are striving—striving to earn God’s love, to stay in His favor, to measure up to a standard they were never meant to carry. Others have ...

Many philosophical works take up questions about God, but the chapters of this book plunge the listener very quickly into the arguments relevant to each question. Layman presents the arguments cogently and simply, yet without oversimplifying the issues. The book emphasizes the strengths and weaknesses of both theism and its metaphysical rivals.

When you ask people the question, you usually get many different answers. Some see God as an authoritarian leader or dictator, others see Him as aloof and distant. Still, others see Him as a father figure concerned with even the smallest details of their lives. Whatever your view of God may be, it matters. In God is For You, David Blunt explains that in order for God to do the good things He wants to do in your life, you must have the right perspective of Him.

Drawing on the wisdom of 2,500 years of contemplative non-religious writing on all that it means to be human - from the origins of the universe to small matters of courtesy and kindness in everyday life - A. C. Grayling, Britain's most popular philosopher, has created a secular bible. This book is designed as a narrative and also to be dipped into for inspiration, encouragement and consolation, The Good Book offers a thoughtful, non-religious alternative to the many people who do not follow one of the world's great religions.

Cette version audio vous invite à pénétrer dans le Jardin d'Épicure, père d'une philosophie qui, de nos jours, continue de nourrir notre perception du monde extérieur et de notre monde intérieur. Physicien autant que philosophe, il a pourtant bâti un système d'une intelligence merveilleuse qui lie l'infiniment petit, les atomes, à l'infiniment grand, les planètes. Il le déploie avec clarté à travers trois grands ensembles de textes, des lettres à ses disciples, des sentences et enfin des maximes : de la forme la plus développée à la plus concise, que vous pourrez écouter dans leur intégralité.

Ensayo. Publicado como prólogo a la nueva edición de "Ortodoxia" de Gilbert Keith Chesterton, para la Biblioteca de Clásicos Cristianos. Editada por ABBA, Barcelona, 2020, pp. 11-25. La obra de Chesterton en general y 'Ortodoxia' en particular han atravesado mis ideas y mi fe de tantas maneras que, indefectiblemente, estos párrafos probablemente se parezcan más a un abrazo que a una clase magistral. Borges lo dijo antes y mejor que yo: que la literatura es una forma de felicidad, y que tal vez ningún escritor nos ha dado tantas horas felices como Chesterton.

The streets are not the same. They are louder, angrier, restless. Brokenness echoes in every corner—shattered windows, shattered trust, shattered lives. You feel it when you step outside, when you turn on the news, when you scroll through endless debates and outrage. Chaos is no longer an event; it has become the atmosphere. And it is not only outside. It is in the air we breathe—fear, confusion, anxiety.

Plum Blossom Zen transforms Zen Master Dogen (12th century) into contemplative poetry. Tai Sheridan's interpretations bring Dogen's complex Zen wisdom to life and make him accessible to everyone. In Rice Eyes, Dogen reveals himself as a master of mindfulness. Bendowa encourages contemplation until you understand inter-being and the essence of non-dual reality. The selections from Shobogenzo are odes that sing praise in the manner of Walt Whitman to the beauty of nature and things.

Dialogue and Antithesis: A Philosophical Study on the Significance of Herman Dooyeweerd's Transcendental Critique is a comprehensive examination of the philosophy of leading Dutch Christian philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977).

What should one do with faith when God has ceased to be living and survives only as an idea? What remains for a person when prayer no longer addresses anyone, when the Church feels like an institution, and inner seeking becomes nothing more than emptiness masquerading as depth?

Revelation of God — Volume III concludes a three-volume philosophical exploration of consciousness, civilization, and responsibility. This final volume focuses on destiny—not as fate, but as the long-term outcome of choices made within irreversible systems. As technology, artificial intelligence, and global integration accelerate, individual decisions increasingly participate in collective structures. Consequences scale faster, uncertainty deepens, and responsibility can no longer be delayed or externalized.
