God and Globalization: Volume 4


Book Description

This is the fourth volume in the series God and Globalization, sponsored by the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, N.J. The 3 previous volumes were multi-authored. This volume is authored solely by Max Stackhouse, the general editor of the series, with a Foreword by the distinguished church historian Justo Gonzales. This final interpretive volume argues for a view of Christian theology that, in critical dialogue with other world religions and philosophies, is able to engage the new world situation, play a critical role in reforming the "powers" that are becoming more diverse and autonomous, and generate a social ethic for the 21st century.




The Christian's Reasonable Service


Book Description

First published in 1700, The Christian¿s Reasonable Service (De Redelijke Godsdienst) ran through twenty Dutch editions in the eighteenth century alone! The title is derived from Romans 12:1, ¿I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.¿ It expresses what God requires from man, and particularly from the Christian, that he serve Him in Spirit and in truth¿intelligently, rationally, and in harmony with and response to God¿s revelation of Himself, His Word. With a decidedly Puritan flavor and representing Reformed experiential religion at its best, Wilhelmus à Brakel systematically moves through the major doctrines of the Bible in hopes of seeing the minds of God¿s people renewed for the purpose of promoting godliness. Throughout his work, but particularly in the practical application of each doctrine, à Brakel strives unceasingly to exalt the name of Jesus as the name that the Father has given above every other name¿there being no other name given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).




Hourglass Socioeconomics Vol. 4: Global Field State, Avoiding Absolution


Book Description

Volume 4, Avoiding Absolution, aims to describe a path of avoidance toward a dissolutive state by mapping the process of and into. The goal is not to relish and dwell in the fear of catastrophe but become aware of the potential for absolution event characteristics to exist within the structure of our social model; here, now, and measurable in the past toward the future. Malignancy, whether internal or external, acts to threaten the strength of bondage between and among sector supports in different forms. In observation, determinants of the perceivable frame of reference, threat potential can be identified. The theme of preceding volumes are functions and forms in the arts and sciences. Continuing from the ending to Volume 3, hive dynamics continues to adapt and evolve our model into newer and higher dimensions. Psychology, as the interpretation of individual and the collective group psyche, is used to understand differentiation between progress toward equilibrium and a dissolution state. In the use of understanding intent, in the ID, Ego and Superego, current themes in society, as well as in historical context, can diagnose malignancy that threatens the balance of. The moon, and all the stars, are not immune to our use in interpretation. Time, both in balance and in purity, is but an orbit in the relationship to our experience of it. A queen can be maniacal or the purpose of the hive in reason and sustenance. Differentiation, as a dependent variable within our function, is but a derivative of field vector characteristics. As we continue into further adaptations of Hourglass Socioeconomics, our purpose is to subject the power of the collective in the effort toward equilibrium.




John Wesley's Teachings, Volume 4


Book Description

Timeless Teachings of John Wesley for the Modern-Day Christian John Wesley’s Teachings is the first systematic exposition of John Wesley's theology that encompasses all of his writings. Wesley was a prolific writer and commentator on Scripture—his collected works fill twenty-four volumes—and yet it is commonly held that he was not systematic or consistent in his theology and teachings. On the contrary, Thomas C. Oden demonstrates that Wesley displayed a remarkable degree of internal consistency over sixty years of preaching and ministry. This series of four volumes is a text-by-text guide to John Wesley’s teaching. It introduces Wesley’s thought on the basic tenets of Christian teaching: God and providence (volume 1), Christ and salvation (volume 2), the practice of pastoral care (volume 3), and issues of ethics and society (volume 4). In everyday modern English, Oden clarifies Wesley’s explicit intent and communicates his meaning clearly to a contemporary audience. Both lay and professional readers will find this series useful for devotional reading, moral reflection, sermon preparation, and for referencing Wesley’s opinions on ecological recovery, moral relativism, enthusiasm, catholicity, experience, paradise, final justification, providence, and countless others.
