Indeed, this may be set 3 down as one of the things hard to be understood such as the apostle Peter declared were taught by his fellow apostle Paul, which they that are unlearned and unstable 6 wrest . . . unto their own destruction. 2 Peter iii. 16. Let us then reason together on this important subject, whose statement in Christian Science may justly be char-9 acterized as wonderful. Does God know or behold sin, sickness, and death The nature and character of God is so little appre-12 hended and demonstrated by mortals, that I counsel my students to defer this infinite inquiry, in their discussions of Christian Science. In fact, they had better leave the 15 subject untouched, until they draw nearer to the divine character, and are practically able to testify, by their lives, that as they come closer to the true understanding of God 18 they lose all sense of error. 2 UNITY OP GOOD i The Scriptures declare that God is too pure to behold iniquity Habakkuk i. 13 but they also declare that 3 God pitieth them who fear Him that there is no place where His voice is not heard that He is a very present help in trouble. 6 The sinner has no refuge from sin, except in God, who is his salvation. We must, however, realize Gods pres ence, power, and love, in order to be saved from sin. This 9 realization takes away mans fondness for sin and his pleasure in it and, lastly, it removes the pain which accrues to him from it. Then follows this, as the finale in 12 Science The sinner loses his sense of sin, and gains a higher sense of God, in whom there is no sin. The true man, really saved, is ready to testify of God 15 in the infinite penetration of Truth, and can affirm that the Mind which is good, or God, has no knowledge of sin. In the same manner the sick lose their sense of sickness, 18 and gain that spiritual sense of harmony which contains neither discord nor disease. According to this same rule, in divine Science, the 21 dying if they die in the Lord awake from a sense of death to a sense of Life in Christ, with a knowledge of Truth and Love beyond what they possessed before be-24 cause their lives have grown so far toward the stature of manhood in Christ Jesus, that they are ready for a spirit ual transfiguration, through their affections and under-27 standing. Those who reach this transition, called death, without CAUTION IN THE TRUTH 3 having rightly improved the lessons of this primary school i of mortal existence, and still believe in matters reality, pleasure, and pain, are not ready to understand im-3 mortality. Hence they awake only to another sphere of experience, and must pass through another probationary state before it can be truly said of them Blessed are the 6 dead which die in the Lord. They upon whom the second death, of which we read in the Apocalypse Revelation xx. 6, hath no power, are 9 those who have obeyed Gods commands, and have washed their robes white through the sufferings of the flesh and the triumphs of Spirit. Thus they have reached 12 the goal in divine Science, by knowing Him in whom they have believed..

For the Good of the Church


Book Description

What do we need to learn and receive from the other to help us address challenges or wounds in our own tradition? That is the key question asked in what has come to be known as ‘receptive ecumenism’. And nowhere is this question more pressing and pertinent than in women’s experiences within the church. Based on qualitative research from five focus groups, 'For the Good of the Church' expose the difficulties women face when they work in a church – sexism, unfulfilled vocation, and abuse of power and privilege, as well as the wide range of gifts and skills which women bring in light of these. The second part of the book continues to draw on the particular wounds and gifts, which arise in the focus groups. Specific case studies are used to identify gifts of theology, practice, experience, vocation and power. Against negative prognoses of an ‘ecumenical winter’, Gabrielle Thomas reveals how radically different theological and ecclesiological perspectives can be a space for learning and receiving gifts for the well-being of the whole Church.




Technology and the Common Good


Book Description

Building on the work of Elinor Ostrom (Governing the Commons) the author examines how the different shared goods of a democratic society are shaped by technology and demonstrates how club goods, common pool resources, and public goods are supported, enhanced, and disrupted by technology. He further argues that as the common good is undermined by different interests, it should be possible to reclaim technology, if the members of the society conclude that they have something in common.




Good Success


Book Description

The purpose of Good Success is to help readers learn and integrate into their life and career the good lessons learned from bad leaders. Bad leaders drive organizational dysfunction, incarnate indecision, and deplete personal energy and team resolve. Also, bad leaders exhaust resources and hope. But, through Good Success readers gain the knowledge and the lessons to overcome the damage, shape their awareness, and build new courage to navigate beyond the chaos. Good Success enable recovery from the effects of bad leadership, creates the means to achieving self-mastery, brings closure to previous negative circumstances, and so much more. It is possible that those who work for bad leaders have already written-off any chance of benefiting from the chaos that they create. If so, Good Success helps readers draw a valuable inheritance from the F.E.A.R. (failures, experiences, anxieties, roadblocks) they’ve seen bad leaders produce.




The Six Enneads


Book Description

The Six Enneads Plotinus - The Six Enneads is the collection of writings of Plotinus, edited and compiled by his student Porphyry. After correcting and naming each treatise, Porphyry wrote a biography of his master, Life of Plotinus, intended to be an Introduction to the Enneads. Porphyry's edition does not follow the chronological order in which Enneads were written, but responds to a plan of study which leads the learner from subjects related to his own affairs to subjects concerning the uttermost principles of the universe.The Enneads, fully The Six Enneads, is the collection of writings of Plotinus, edited and compiled by his student Porphyry. Plotinus was a student of Ammonius Saccas and they were founders of Neoplatonism.




One and Many


Book Description

Is the world one or many? Ji Zhang revisits this ancient philosophical question from the modern perspective of comparative studies. His investigation stages an intellectual exchange between Plato, founder of the Academy, and Ge Hong, who systematized Daoist belief and praxis. Zhang not only captures the tension between rational Platonism and abstruse Daoism, but also creates a bridge between the two.
