Cosmic Christianity


Book Description

We are living in a very interesting and unique time in human history. The pace of change of technology and of our society as a whole is dizzying, perhaps even disorienting. With the rise of artificial intelligence and the decoding of the human genome, we stand at the threshold of paradigm-shifting discoveries and innovation that may redefine what it means to be human. This is an era defined by tension and infighting between the spheres of science and religion. Indeed, this has been a dominant trend since the nineteenth century. For many modern rational thinkers, the wisdom of our religious traditions has become outmoded and ought be relegated to the dustbins of history. Despite this, the human heart continues to long for the profound, the meaningful, and the sacred—things our spiritual heritage has typically provided. Cosmic Christianity aims to salvage what is most valuable about these sacred traditions while simultaneously integrating them with more modern trends that center on technological advances and artificial intelligence. Moreover it will create a novel synthesis between the values of humanism and mysticism. Apart from this, Cosmic Christianity aims to integrate the wisdom of every imaginable spiritual tradition. From traditional Eastern and Western religions to esoteric, new age, astrology and spiritualism, an all embracing framework is created that comfortably houses all perspectives. Finally, it sets forth a proposal for the origin of God and the universe. You will be inspired and made to ponder by Cosmic Christianity.

Cosmic Savior


Book Description

Welcome to the end-of-the-universe clearance sale. All life must go. Trapped and tortured in the Halcius Hegemony's reality-warping prison, arms dealer Bodhi Drezek has resigned himself to Kruthara's galaxy-swallowing apocalypse. But for better or worse, his fortune changes in the wake of a daring jailbreak by an old nemesis. Before long, he finds himself among the ranks of humanity's scattered, broken remnants, who have organized a last-ditch effort to preserve reality. Their solution? The tomb of the Great Maker, an ancient site prophesized to contain the only weapons capable of halting Kruthara's hellish tide. But the search for the tomb leads them into an uncharted, nightmarish dimension known as the Untraversed-and Bodhi's ragtag band isn't alone in it. Kruthara's eldritch terrors, bolstered by the entire fleet of the Halcius Hegemony, are hot on their trail. With every step forward, entire civilizations burn at their backs. Stars and planets are consumed by eternal darkness. With nowhere else to run, Bodhi plunges deeper into the madness, dodging time-twisting organisms, sun-devouring serpents, and dreaming gods. Most terrifying, however, is what lies at the end of the road-his destiny.

The Divine Quest, East and West


Book Description

Many books have discussed the development of the notion of God in Western monotheistic traditions, but how have non-Western cultures conceptualized what those in the West might identify as "God"? What might be learned by comparing different visions of the Divine, such as God, gods, Brahman, Nirvana, and Emptiness? James L. Ford engages these fascinating questions, exploring notions of "the Divine" or "Ultimate Reality" within Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions. Looking at a multiplicity of divine conceptions, even within traditions, Ford discusses the relationship between imagination and revelation in the emergence of visions of ultimacy; consequences and tendencies associated with particular notions of the Ultimate; and how new visions of the Ultimate arise in relation to social, cultural, political, and scientific developments. Ford reflects on what can be learned through an awareness of the various beliefs about the Ultimate and on how such disparate visions influence the attitudes and behavior of people in different parts of the world.




The Identity of Jesus Christ


Book Description

In this seminal work, Frei considers the concepts of Jesus' identity and presence, maintaining that the logic of Christian faith requires that we begin with identity, not presence. Drawing on Ryles' philosophy, Frei argues that a person isÓ primarily what they say or do. Hence, theologians should not look for Jesus' essence by looking past the stories but must look to the stories themselves.




The Identity of Jesus Christ, Expanded and Updated Edition


Book Description

This is a book about Jesus of Nazareth. It is not a book about "story," nor about "narrative theology." Hans Frei was not a theologian of story or of narrative in any general way, and this book is neither about the narrative quality of our existence and the gospel's relation to that quality, nor about the narrative shape of the Scriptures as a whole and the call on us to place ourselves within that narrative. Rather, this is a book about the way in which Jesus of Nazareth's identity is rendered by the Gospels--largely the Synoptic Gospels, particularly the Gospel of Luke, and especially in the passion and resurrection sequences--by means of a certain kind of narrative. --from the Foreword by Mike Higton
