Religious Theology

On March, 13, 2013, 115 cardinals elected for the first time a pope from outside of Europe. Pope Francis, a native of Argentina, is not just the first pope from the Southern Hemisphere; he is also the first Jesuit to ever hold the Chair of Peter. Now, a leading expert on the papacy provides the ultimate introduction to this new pope, including biographical information and an absorbing collection of Jorge Mario Bergoglio's most persuasive words.

Biografía de San Francisco de Asís, de quien el actual papa Francisco no solo tomó su nombre en su honor, sino que, como máximo jerarca de los católicos, se inspira en sus enseñanzas y actos para darle un nuevo rumbo a la Iglesia. San Francisco les enseñó a los hombres que la perfección hay que buscarla en el servicio al prójimo; que en la perfecta alegría, aun en las contrariedades del mundo y los dolores del cuerpo y del alma, está la libertad...

Gott hat für jede Frau, Ehefrau und Mutter einen exzellenten Plan, wie sie Ihn mit allen Bereichen ihres Leben verherrlichen und eine "Frau nach dem Herzen Gottes" werden kann. Elizabeth George vermittelt in liebevollem und verständnisvollen Stil ihre biblischen und praktischen Einsichten, wie eine Frau zur Ehre Gottes leben kann: in ihrer persönlichen Beziehung zum Herrn, im Alltag mit ihrem Ehemann und ihren Kindern, mit ihrer Aufgabe als Hausfrau und mit ihrem Dienst in der Gemeinde.

In the beginning, those three words are the unmistakable foundation for our worldview, whatever that view may be. We can all agree that there was a beginning. What did it look like? How did it happen? Who or what made it happen? The Bible answers all of these questions.

Knowledge of God in the World and the Word is a clear and succinct introduction to classical Christian apologetics that also addresses the most common objections to natural theology. Amid the crisis of authority in our modern and postmodern era, Christians need to be able to point to God's revelation in the natural world in addition to defending God's unique revelation in the Bible and in the person of Jesus Christ.

The Logos Papers is a collection of work from Dr. Gangadean, reflecting his teaching in philosophy, religion, and the humanities in the academy, in theology at Logos Theological Seminary, and pastoral teaching in the church. In unison with his other publications, it fundamentally calls for a focus on foundation from the Logos. The Logos is the eternal word of God in its fullness, who makes God fully known.

Quattro elementi di un cenacolo si incontrano dopo essersi intensamente conosciuti durante la rivoluzione francese. Questi "sentire" che da incarnati sono chiamate "persone", completano adesso la "lezione evolutiva" iniziata in Francia nella vita precedente. Tutti viviamo la condizione umana per trascenderci, di vita in vita e oltre, fino all'identificazione in Dio

At a time when divisions among the churches are subject to attack, both from within and from without, the author has felt led to write doxologies, essays, and thoughts. These words are a call to action to all true believers in the Word of God, and can only create encouragement in the body of Christ.

Viewing human nature as one that seeks the dichotomy of both imagination and reason, he argues that the Christian faith is the only true fulfillment of both of those needs. Chesterson explains that Christianity is the only faith that can answer the basic needs and desires of all humans because it has both in its very structure. A rigid morality combined with an allowance for some interpretation of truth and way of life, Christianity resolves the human need for a life that follows both logic and romance.

In October 2014, a group of mathematicians, physicists, ecologists, philosophers, and theologians gathered at a special conference in Berkeley, California, to present the results of a two-year research program dubbed “Project SATURN”. This program explored many of the rich avenues of thought found at the intersection of modern science and Christian theology. Chief among them is the possibility that certain processes in nature might be so complex that they do not have sufficient physical causes.

Francis Spufford's Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. Refuting critics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the "new atheist" crowd, Spufford, a former atheist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, argues that Christianity is recognizable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling, satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the grown-up dignity of Christian experience.

Theology is meant to cause you to think unto God, and then, when the right understanding of God (and the good news) makes its way into your heart, theology is meant to cause you to rise up singing and praising him for who he is and for what he has done, and will do, in your life.

Transcending Architecture considers the mysterious, profound, and real power of designed environments to address the spiritual dimension of our humanity. The book offers a wide, critical, and nuanced understanding of the lived relationship between the built and the numinous worlds. It examines phenomenological, symbolic and designerly ways in which the holy gets fixed and experienced through buildings, landscapes, and urban forms, and not just in institutionally defined religious or sacred places. Transcending Architecture brings together a stellar group of scholars and practitioners to share their insights: architect Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Karsten Harries, comparative religion scholar Lindsay Jones and architectural theoretician Karla Britton, sacred architecture researcher Thomas Barrie and theologian Kevin Seasoltz, landscape architect Rebecca Krinke and Faith & Form magazine editor Michael Crosbie, are among the illustrious contributors.

Alle Welt kennt ihn: Doch was denkt und fühlt der Dalai Lama wirklich? In diesem Buch gibt er zusammen mit seinem langjährigen Vertrauen Dagyab Kyabgön Rinpoche Einblick in sein Denken, sein Fühlen und Handeln. Dieses umfassende Buch des XIV. Dalai Lama, das tief in das Herz des Buddhismus als universelle Lebenskunst führt, sucht seinesgleichen und wurde in zehnjähriger Arbeit aus unzähligen Unterweisungen, Gesprächen und Diskussionen zusammengestellt. Es ist sein großes Vermächtnis an die Welt.

Life is a gift, brimming with seemingly endless possibilities. Often, our days are filled with joy and purpose. But life can change in an instant, plunging us into a sea of chaos and fear as our faith is tested. Perhaps we are going through a prolonged season of suffering that feels like it will never end—and we spiral into the depths of despair. No matter our season of life, we're meant to live in a way that glorifies God. We're meant to find joy, hope, and peace in the midst of suffering.

From the outset, the implications of this book are terrifying. In this thorough, and sometimes disquieting, investigation of the biblical predictions, the Great Apostasy emerges, not as a foreboding future event, but as the very essence of today's postmodern Church. Like tares in the wheat field, false adherents are presently growing up alongside true believers. But how will we know them? This is where Steve Gallagher is at his best. He exposes the prevailing self-centeredness, widespread sensuality, and rebellion to authority that epitomizes this false part of the Body.

This absorbing audiobook presents the lives of 20 great founders and leading advocates of the world's foremost religions. Here are the historical facts and legends associated with these forceful personalities who have inspired and influenced humankind through the centuries.

Is it possible that the largest body of Christian believers, Roman Catholics, have fallen from their place in heaven? Dark Halo takes the listener on a fantastic voyage, down the hallowed halls of St. Peters Basilica in the heart of Rome, and behind closed doors in the Vatican to reveal that the horrors and atrocities of the Roman Catholic Church have echoed down the ages, right into our modern times.

For Cardinal Francis George, the Catholic Church is not a movement built around ideas but a communion built around relationships. In A Godly Humanism, he shares his understanding of the church in lively, compelling prose, presenting a way to understand and appreciate the relationships of God to human beings and of human beings to one another. These loving relationships are continually made present to us in and through the church, from the time of Jesus' first disciples down to our own day.
