Influence Of Greek Ideas And Usages Upon The Christian Church

~~152,38€~~ 137,14€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 How did Christian societies come to believe one proposition rather than another? How did they come to the frame of mind which attached importance to either one belief or the other? The change in the centre of gravity from conduct to belief is coincident with the transference of Christianity from a Semitic to a Greek soil. The presumption is that it was the result of Greek influence. This book will show this presumption is true.

 Finally, after 2,000 years, there’s a historical explanation for the birth of Christianity. Relying on known history from that era, The Other Jesus and the Birth of Christianity details how the anonymous author of the oldest gospel in the New Testament was anxiously waiting in Rome for the promised end of the world, envisioned in 30 CE by a long-dead and otherwise forgotten prophet named Jesus. In 70 CE, the author, later called Mark, was electrified by the news that the temple in Jerusalem had been destroyed and the city taken by the Romans. Not only that, but the twin disasters had also been predicted by a man named Jesus, son of Ananias, whose presence is documented in the writings of the Jewish historian of that time. Believing the two men to be the same person and wanting to let everyone know of the coming apocalypse, Mark then combined what he knew about Jesus, the unheralded prophet from Galilee, with the Jesus who made such an accurate prediction. Drawing largely on existing sacred accounts detailing the activities of ancient seers like Elijah and Elisha and on the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas, Mark hastily produced a biography that was adopted and expanded by future gospel writers, unknowingly generating what has become the world’s largest religion.

 Words -- they are not just an important part of our lives, but are the core to our total being. We rarely stop to think about them, how we use them or misuse them, just as we seldom stop to think about our breathing. Words come and go like inhaling and exhaling. But where would our lives, culture, or world be without words? The answer lies in Genesis 1:2. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep." Our world would be without form and void. In short, we would be nothing. However, in verse 3, we find the first recorded "words" spoken by God. And God said, "Let there be light: and there was light." These four simple words spoken by the Creator changed the rest of eternity. By simply speaking these words, He changed darkness into light, which allowed life to be brought forth and set His master plan into motion. This book relates the author's experiences with God, and the important, but not always pleasant words He revealed.

Growth Of The Christian Church: A Search For Faith, Form And Freedom (Ad 30-2000)

de Robert I. Letellier

304,75€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The subject is historical and follows the development of the Church-the great movements of faith and the people that have shaped the worldwide mission over two millennia. Christianity came into being (c. 30 AD) when the Apostles received the power of the Holy Spirit to preach the resurrection and Gospel of Christ (Acts 1-2). Jesus had placed the Jewish idea of the Kingdom of God at the centre of his teaching but gave the idea a new spiritual and universal meaning (Matthew 28:16-20). He taught that God is present wherever individuals enter into the relationship of love which God is seeking to initiate with them. Throughout the ages the Catholic Church spread the Gospel, and sustained Christian communities, bringing light and hope into the lives of men and women in the darkest times of their history, playing a key role in the development of society with the founding of hospitals and institutions of education, retraining the political ambitions of monarchs. Despite emerging differences of interpretation in matters of theology and practice, and the invention of new ways of being Christian at the Reformation, belief in Jesus Christ and his Gospel has grown and spread throughout the world, beginning with the Age of Discovery. In the 20th century the Church began to reconsider its ideological traditions and to participate in the ecumenical movement, with a resurgence of scholarship, a new attitude to the witness of the Church in the world, expounded at the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). Christianity has moulded the shape of Western civilization and has been carried by missionaries to nearly all the countries of the world.

Natural Theology: The Atheist'S Way To God

de Anthony Walsh

304,75€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Natural theology is the process of observing nature and engaging science and reason to provide evidence for God''s existence by "reasoning to the best explanation." It sets aside the revealed word and engages only with the evidence supplied by science, history, and philosophical reasoning to affirm the existence of God. This book provides signposts to God from solid evidence from physics, chemistry, biology, the social sciences, philosophy, and history. This evidence has forced many scientists, including a number of Nobel laureates in science, who have thought deeply about the ultimate meaning of their work to accept Almighty God.

Exploring The Life And Teachings Of Mahayana Buddhists In Asia

304,75€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Buddhism is one of the world’s oldest and largest religions having about 490 million followers. Mahayana Buddhists represent approximately two-thirds of the total Buddhist population. A large portion of Mahayanists resides in East Asia. They cannot be said to follow an undivided doctrine and have a unified religious lifestyle. Mahayana Buddhism, rather, consists of a multitude of ideas and practices with its followers holding various behaviors and attitudes. This book explores the lives and teachings of Mahayana Buddhists, who reside in Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Myanmar, as well as in the ancient Gandhara region (today’s north Pakistan and east Afghanistan). The time frame covered is from the beginning of the Mahayana movement in the Ancient Gandhara region in the first several centuries of the Common Era to the present-day lifestyle and practices of the Mahayanists as they respond to 2020’s COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the historical and doctrinal views of Mahayana Buddhism, the book features thematic chapters on topics, such as pandemic responses, Mahayana scriptures and sculptures, modern Mahayana teachings, charity, suicide, and ethnicity. The book also considers such social constructs as family and community and modern Buddhist movements in reshaping the traditional structures and cosmological beliefs of Chinese Mahayanists. In sum, this book is a unique effort to define the nature of Mahayana Buddhist life in the past and in the present as well as its teaching in Asia. It does so from various multidisciplinary perspectives.

Examination Of Religiosity: Influences, Perspectives And Health Implications

258,38€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 By the last 3 decades, consistent scientific research has proved that the spiritual-religious dimension is strongly related to human health. Since then, this field and its applications are progressively growing and developing, through: psycho-neuro-immunological-endocrine research; curricular disciplines on medical schools; the bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach as standard for patient-centered integrative healthcare; complementary therapies derived from spiritual traditions became valuable allies; hospitals developing policies to respect spiritual values and necessities; faith-based interventions cooperating with psychosocial initiatives. Each of these movements meets the patients’ demands for a comprehensive healthcare with a human approach. However, most healthcare professionals were not educated within the view derived from recent research associating religiosity and health. At the other hand, clergymen tend to receive little or none information about health issues during their theological graduation. Notwithstanding progress in including the religious dimension in the clinical context, there are still many significant obstacles for a real transformation. In this context, "An Examination of Religiosity - Influences, Perspectives and Health Implications" aspires to disseminate the ideal form of clinical healthcare, based on the best available scientific evidence. This work does not have the goal of being exhaustive, but rather aims to be a reliable reference to accompany a paradigm shift. The chapters are original manuscripts of high-standard methodological quality, selected among authors from Austria, Brazil, Egypt, Poland, and the United States. The book starts with a historical trajectory and the current state-of-the-art of spirituality-religiosity as a clinical therapeutic resource. The following chapters explore the relationships between spirituality and religiosity in the areas of physical and mental health in many populations and groups: the general population, college students, older adults, cancer patients, and bereaved parents. The final chapters bring intriguing and challenging models about phenomena involving the nonlocal mind and the brain-independent consciousness. The target audience includes professionals, students and researchers on the fields of clinical healthcare (physicians, nurses, psychologists, among others), multi-professional patient care (social workers, hospital managers, among others), and pastoral support for ill people (professional chaplains, community clergymen, among others).

Spirituality: Past, Present And Future Perspectives

212,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Spirituality: Past, Present and Future Perspectives, the hermeneutic pluralism of religious and spiritual healing and its evangelical roots are studied by means of the conceptual systems of religious anthropology and medical anthropology. The next chapter analyzes the relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being. The authors focus on agnostics and undecided people who lie between theists as certain believers and atheists as certain non-believers. The authors also assess how spirituality in the African American community influences end-of-life care decisions. In his The Sea of Fertility tetralogy of novels, Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima outlines a philosophy of life and death that bears profoundly transgressive spiritual implications. This compilation discusses how, through his blending of Buddhist notions relating to reincarnation and the insubstantiality of all phenomena, Mishima constructs what amounts to a new spirituality committed to immanence. In the penultimate chapter, the concept of dark spirituality is discussed through what Francois Laruelle calls the "lointain", an unnameable, ineffable "distance" without measure. This concept is then examined through Bonnie Prince’ Billy’s musical work and how his song, "Black," defines blackness in terms of irreducible alterity. Lastly, while Bhoodan accentuated upon land donation from a resource ownership perspective, Vasudhaiva Kuumbakam based land acquisition stresses upon land transfer from the stakeholder concept. Implications for research and practice are discussed in the closing chapter.
