Pagan and Christian in an Age of Anxiety: Some Aspects of Religious Experience From Marcus Aurelius to Constantine E. R. Dodds & Eric Robertson Dodds [Dodds, E. R. & Dodds, Eric Robertson] Cambridge University Press, The Wiles Lectures #1, 1965

Interest in the world of Late Antiquity is currently undergoing a significant revival, and in this provocative book, now reissued in paperback, E. R. Dodds anticipated some of the themes now engaging scholars. There is abundant material for the study of religious experience in late antiquity, and through it Professor Dodds examines, from a sociological and psychological standpoint, the personal religious attitudes and experiences common to pagans and Christians in the period between Marcus Aurelius and Constantine. He looks first at general attitudes to the world and the human condition before turning to specific types of human experience. World-hatred and asceticism, dreams and states of possession, and pagan and Christian mysticism are all discussed. Finally Dodds considers both pagan views of Christianity and Christian views of paganism as they emerge in the literature of the time. Although primarily written for social and religious historians, this study will also appeal to all those interested in the ancient world and its thought.

lgli/Steven Nemes - Theological Authority in the Church (2023, ).pdf

Theological Authority in the Church : Reconsidering Traditionalism and Hierarchy Steven Nemes, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen Cascade Books, Lightning Source (Tier 4), [N.p.], 2023

Who in the church has the right to tell others what is to be done or believed for the sake of friendship with God? How are theological disputes and differences of opinion to be resolved? Against the recent trend toward more'traditionalist'and'hierarchical'conceptions of the church's role in theology, this book argues from the New Testament itself for a'low'conception of ecclesial theological authority. Drawing especially from Jesus's polemics against the Pharisees, it makes the case that no one in the church has any further authority than that of derivatively, fallibly, and in principle reversibly relating and bearing witness to the teachings of Jesus and the works of God in him. The book concludes with an extended consideration of the radical anti-dogmatic and anti-metaphysical consequences of this thesis for the future of Protestant Christian theology vis-a-vis the catholic tradition.

nexusstc/The Faith Once for All Delivered: Doctrinal Authority in Catholic Theology/cd55d0023b8cbb7ece2a6e2fe8cce0a9.epub

The faith once for all delivered : doctrinal authority in Catholic theology S.J. Edited by Kevin L. Flannery, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke (Foreword and Introduction), C.C. Pecknold (Contributor), Christopher J. Malloy (Contributor), Thomas Heinrich Stark (Contributor), O.Cist. (Contributor) Edmund Waldstein, John M. Rist (Contributor), Edward Feser (Contributor), Eduardo Echeverria (Contributor), S.J. (Contributor) Kevin L. Flannery, OSA (Contributor) Robert Dodaro, John Finnis (Contributor), OSB (Contributor) Guy Mansini, Robert Cardinal Sarah (Afterword) Emmaus Academic, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology DBA Emmaus Road Publishing, Steubenville, Ohio, 2023

In the third verse of his eponymous New Testament epistle, Jude exhorts his readers "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered," a charge that continues to resound to the present day. This collection of essays responds to the apostle's call by providing both a diagnosis of the ills of modern progressivist Catholic doctrinal and moral theology and a prescription for the safeguarding of orthodoxy via a rightly understood return to the traditional sources of theology. The essays in the first part of this collection seek to answer the question, "What went wrong with Catholic theology since the Second Vatican Council?" Following a brief account of the movement in modern theology from its philosophical basis in Kant and Hegel to the nouvelle théologie and later progressivist theologies of the twentieth century, the writings of Karl Rahner, Walter Kasper, and Bernhard Häring are treated as representative of principal problematic trends, and the concept of heresy is surveyed as it has been understood in the past and as it operates in the Church today. The essays in the second part indicate the way forward for Catholic doctrinal and moral theology, examining and distinguishing the orthodox use of the fontes theologiae of magisterial teachings, the deposit of faith in its development, the "sense of the faithful" ( sensus fidelium ), Sacred Scripture, and Church councils and synods. In its twofold attentiveness to contemporary errors in Catholic theology and to tradition-based correctives, The Faith Once for All Delivered offers an urgent and compelling summons to the sacred mission of defending doctrinal and moral orthodoxy.

lgli/The Rhetoric of Faith_ Irenaeus and the Structures of the Adversus Haereses - Scott D. Moringiello.pdf

The Rhetoric of Faith : Irenaeus and the Structure of the Adversus Haereses Scott D. Moringiello The Catholic University of America Press, Catholic University of America Press, Washington, D. C, 2019

The Rhetoric of Faith argues that the structure of Irenaeus's opus magnum, the Adversus Haereses , is the argument of the Adversus Haereses . Through a close reading of the Irenaeus's text, as well as through a comparison with Greco-Roman rhetorical texts, Scott Moringiello argues that Irenaeus structured his argument around the articles of the faith of the Church and that this structure builds on tropes found in the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition. The argument focuses on the Adversus Haereses , although it does begin with some discussion to put Irenaeus in the context of second century Christian literature. Moringiello concludes with a discussion of Irenaeus's Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching . Other scholars have provided introductions to Irenaeus's work, and other scholars have argued for the structural unity of the Adversus Haereses. No other scholar, though, has argued that the faith of the Church is the basis of Irenaeus's argument. This argument, then, presents an important contribution to the field of Irenaeus studies. Beyond the study of Irenaeus, though, The Rhetoric of Faith offers a contribution to the field of early Christian studies. I argue that the field should focus more on how early Christian authors make their arguments by attending to the theologically-informed rhetorical strategies they use.

zlib/no-category/Stephanie A. Lowery;/Identity and Ecclesiology_29706489.epub

Identity and Ecclesiology : Their Relationship Among Select African Theologians Stephanie A. Lowery, Daniel J. Treier Lightning Source (Tier 4), Lightning Source (Tier 4), Eugene, 2017

Questions of identity continue to intrigue theologians in Africa, and African intellectuals often note communal emphases in African thought. This raises the question, How do ecclesiologies in Africa engage with identity concerns, and how do they envision the Christian identity? Stephanie Lowery argues in this book that theologians in Africa provide theological and biblical arguments regarding Christian identity that are relevant to individual Christians and ecclesiologies in all contexts. She also proposes the social identity approach as a tool that can both further articulate and advance these discussions. "Drawing from her exposure to African Christianity and expertise in African theology, Lowery has produced an accessible and insightful work that discusses in a distinctive manner the relationship between identity and church as imagined in the works of some key African theologians. Identity and Ecclesiology makes a substantive contribution to the growing literature on contemporary African Christianity and African ecclesiology." --Victor I. Ezigbo, Professor and Chair of Biblical and Theological Studies, Bethel University "Stephanie A. Lowery's Identity and Ecclesiology is a brilliant, fascinating, and ground-breaking analysis of the historical trajectory, major themes, and prominent architects of the theological self-understanding of the community called church in Africa. An essential resource for scholars and students looking for fresh insights, new perspectives, and scripture-based notions on the dynamic nature of African ecclesial identity and its significance for the world church." --Agbonkhianmeghe E. Orobator, SJ, Hekima University College Jesuit School of Theology, Nairobi "Colonialization inflicted much devastation. One with eyes to see also can detect a powerful work of the Spirit in Africa. Stephanie Lowery, a child of Africa herself, has these eyes, and investigates with keen analytical proficiency. This book explores ideas of African thinkers and leaders that not only have helped sustain the African church, but have made contributions to Christian thought the rest of the world really needs--'first-world' Christians perhaps in particular." --R. Todd Mangum, Lester and Kay Clemens Professor of Missional Theology, Academic Dean, Biblical Theological Seminary "Out of Africa come fresh theological voices contributing to the church's global New Reformation.Lowery expertly recounts their vision of Christ's church rooted in communal identity, a necessary antidote to the corrosive individualism which has diminished the West's ecclesiology. An essential read for every Christian committed to the future of our common faith as God's family." --Gene L. Green, Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College and Graduate School Stephanie A. Lowery is a lecturer of systematic theology at Scott Christian University in Machakos, Kenya.

Theology of biblical counseling : the doctrinal foundations of counseling ministry A theology of biblical counseling : the doctrinal foundations of counseling ministry Heath Lambert Zondervan Academic, HarperCollins Christian Publishing (3 users), Grand Rapids, Michigan, 2016

Since the beginning of the biblical counseling movement in 1970, biblical counselors have argued that counseling is a ministry of the Word, just like preaching or missions. As a ministry, counseling must be defined according to sound biblical theology rather than secular principles of psychology. For over four decades, biblical theology has been at the core of the biblical counseling movement. Leaders in biblical counseling have emphasized a commitment to teaching doctrine in their counseling courses out of the conviction that good theology leads to good counseling…and bad theology leads to bad counseling. A Theology of Biblical Counseling is a landmark new book that covers the history of the biblical counseling movement, the core convictions that underlie sound counseling, and practical wisdom for counseling today. Dr. Heath Lambert shows how biblical counseling is rooted in the Scriptures while illustrating the real challenges counselors face today through true stories from the counseling room. A substantive textbook written in accessible language, it is an ideal resource for use in training biblical counselors at colleges, seminaries, and training institutes. In each chapter, doctrine comes to life in real ministry to real people, dramatically demonstrating how theology intersects with the lives of actual counselees.

Introducing Christian Theologies, Volume One : Voices From Global Christian Communities Victor I. Ezigbo; Lightning Source (Tier 4), Lightning Source (Tier 4), Eugene, OR, 2013

Should Christianity's theological face remain largely European and North American in the twenty-first century in the wake of the expansion of Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America? The question about the "theological face" of Christianity cannot be ignored. For too long African, Asian, and Latin American theologians have been left out of mainstream theological discussions. Few standard textbooks on Christian theology acknowledge the unique contributions theologians from these continents have made to global Christianity. Introducing Christian Theologies: Voices from Global Christian Communities is a two-volume textbook that alters the predominantly European and North American "theological face" of Christianity by interacting with the voices of the Christian communities from around the globe. Introducing Christian Theologies explores the works of key theologians from across the globe, highlighting their unique contributions to Christian theology and doctrine.

The Word as true myth : interpreting modern theology Dorrien, Gary J. Louisville, Ky.: Westminster John Knox Press, Westminster John Knox Press, Louisville, Ky, 1997

Gary Dorrien follows the threads of theology through the twentieth century, examining how Christians have reconciled their myth-filled religious beliefs within a world secularized by Enlightenment criticism and science. To understand how religion keeps its place in Christians' lives, Dorrien writes, we must explore how modern theologians have answered the question of myth in today's Christianity. Dorrien's narrative walks readers through modern theology - stopping with each of the major thinkers along the way to see how they dealt with the issue of modern Christian mythology. Ultimately he offers his own "new neo-orthodoxy," a theology of Word and Spirit that is pluralistic and affirms the mythical character of the gospel while holding fast to the Gospels' myth-negating condemnation of idolatry and their focus on history.

Aspects Of Reforming: Theology And Practice In Sixteenth Century Europe (studies In Christian History And Thought) Michael Parsons; David W Hall Authentic Media, Studies in Christian History and Thought Ser., 1, 2013

The book illustrates the fact that in reforming theology sixteenth century theologians also reformed practice or the imperatives of Christian living. Experts in reformation studies identify and elucidate areas of sixteenth century reforming activity in Martin Luther, John Calvin and other leading reformers to demonstrate the thoroughgoing nature of the reformation agenda. The interpretation of Scripture, the centrality of Jesus Christ, the Jewish question, freedom and pastoral insight form the contents of an important section on Luther. The use of feminine imagery for God, the Augsburg Confession, deification, education, and the gospel are treated in relation to Calvin. The final section deals with Oecolampadius, the Son of Man texts in Matthew, justification, texts on difficult deaths and a Trinitarian exegesis of Scripture. By careful reading of both the historical situation and the primary texts this volume adds significantly to our understanding of the period.

Towards a Theology of Relationship : Emil Brunner's Truth As Encounter in Light of Relationship Science Michael Berra; Lightning Source (Tier 4), Lightning Source (Tier 4), Eugene, Oregon, 2022

We live in an era in which relations are considered to be of the utmost importance in almost every field of science and society. For theology, however, this is nothing new. Having a personal relationship with God is a common Christian expression, and while this notion of relationship with God usually lacks a clear definition and its explication is often deeply flawed, this book argues nevertheless for the centrality of a theology of relationship. By reintroducing Emil Brunner as a relational theologian, based on his seminal work Truth as Encounter, it is boldly proposed that relationship must be the prime leitmotif for the whole of theology. Furthermore, the relationship analogy is investigated in light of contemporary relationship science: is it accurate to speak of a relationship with God? Berra argues that God-human interaction is indeed categorically a relationship and existentially intended to be intimate. Consequently, this relationship needs to be the theological leitmotif leading to a theology of relationship.

Eric Voegelin and the Problem of Christian Political Order (Eric Voegelin Institute Series in Political Philosophy: Studies in Religion and Politics) (Volume 1) Jeffrey C Herndon; University of Missouri Press University of Missouri Press, Eric Voegelin Institute Series in Political Philosophy: Studies in Religion and Politics, June 18, 2007

Although some critics of Eric Voegelin’s later work have faulted his failure to deal with the historical Jesus and to address the implications of Christianity for social and political life, the recent publication of Voegelin’s History of Political Ideas has allowed a more complete assessment of his position regarding the Christian political order. This book addresses that criticism through an analysis of Voegelin’s early work.             In Eric Voegelin and the Problem of Christian Political Order, Jeffrey C. Herndon analyzes the development of Voegelin’s thought regarding the origins of Christianity in the person of Jesus, the development of the church in the works of Paul, and the relationship between an immanent institutional order symbolizing the divine presence and the struggle for social and political order. Focusing on the tension between a spiritual phenomenon based on Pauline faith and the institutionalization of that experience in the church, Herndon offers one of the first examinations of the relationship of the History of Political Ideas to Voegelin’s larger body of work.             In his wide-ranging study, Herndon explores Voegelin’s examination of the problem of Christian political order from the inception of Christianity through the Great Reformation. He also presents a clarification of Voegelin’s theory of civilizational foundation and of Voegelin’s philosophy of history with regard to Christianity and Western political order.             Herndon addresses not only the nagging problem in Voegelin scholarship regarding his relationship with the historical Jesus but also the “Pauline compromises with the world” that enabled Christianity to become the instrument by which the West was civilized. He also shows that Voegelin’s interpretation of the historical pressures released by the Great Reformation is important to an understanding of his later work regarding the negative effect of Christian symbols in the creation of ideological disorder.             Eric Voegelin and the Problem of Christian Political Order clarifies issues in Voegelin studies regarding the intersection between political theory and Christian concerns, addressing the relation of religious experience to the public sphere of political life in the West and helping to explain Voegelin’s contention that the death of the spirit is the price of progress. It offers scholars a perspective heretofore lacking in Voegelin scholarship and a clearer view of Voegelin’s understanding of the Christian dispensation and its influence on the course of Western development, history, and philosophy.

The Gagging of God : Christianity Confronts Pluralism D. A. Carson Zondervan Academic, Grand Rapids, Mich, 2002

After an initial survey of pluralism, The Gagging of God divides into four parts: Part 1 looks at the history behind modern pluralism, especially the revolution in hermeneutics, literary theory, and epistemology; part 2 addresses religious pluralism, notably the work of John Hick and David Tracy, and considers inclusivists such as Clark Pinnock and John Sanders. It argues for the Bible's foundational "plot-line" that resists liberal interpretations, and it explores what is meant by the uniqueness of Christ; part 3 analyzes the Christian's stance in a pluralistic culture across such diverse fields as education, law, and morals; and part 4 looks at how pluralism has penetrated the evangelical camp. It considers particular issues, such as the modern church's aversion to the subject of hell, and addresses the broader questions raised by contextualization and globalization. It offers a thoughtful look at how to evangelize in a postmodern generation. The Gagging of God presents a persuasive case for Christ as not merely one among many ways, but the only way for people to come to a saving knowledge of God.

The Word as true myth : interpreting modern theology Dorrien, Gary J. Louisville, Ky.: Westminster John Knox Press, Westminster John Knox Press, Louisville, Ky, 1997

Gary Dorrien follows the threads of theology through the twentieth century, examining how Christians have reconciled their myth-filled religious beliefs within a world secularized by Enlightenment criticism and science. To understand how religion keeps its place in Christians' lives, Dorrien writes, we must explore how modern theologians have answered the question of myth in today's Christianity. Dorrien's narrative walks readers through modern theology - stopping with each of the major thinkers along the way to see how they dealt with the issue of modern Christian mythology. Ultimately he offers his own "new neo-orthodoxy," a theology of Word and Spirit that is pluralistic and affirms the mythical character of the gospel while holding fast to the Gospels' myth-negating condemnation of idolatry and their focus on history.

Dreams, Virtue and Divine Knowledge in Early Christian Egypt Bronwen Neil; Doru Costache; Kevin Wagner Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing), Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 2019

What did dreams mean to Egyptian Christians of the first to the sixth centuries? Alexandrian philosophers, starting with Philo, Clement and Origen, developed a new approach to dreams that was to have profound effects on the spirituality of the medieval West and Byzantium. Their approach, founded on the principles of Platonism, was based on the convictions that God could send prophetic dreams and that these could be interpreted by people of sufficient virtue. In the fourth century, the Alexandrian approach was expanded by Athanasius and Evagrius to include a more holistic psychological understanding of what dreams meant for spiritual progress. The ideas that God could be known in dreams and that dreams were linked to virtue flourished in the context of Egyptian desert monasticism. This volume traces that development and its influence on early Egyptian experiences of the divine in dreams. About the Author Bronwen Neil is Professor of Ancient History at Macquarie University, Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University and Research Fellow of the University of South Africa. She is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Maximus the Confessor (2015), Collecting Early Christian Letters (Cambridge, 2015) and A Companion to Gregory the Great (2013).

The Heroic Path : In Search of the Masculine Heart John Sowers, Bob Goff FaithWords, Hachette Book Group, New York, 2014

God designed men to live with risk, adventure, and danger. But today's man has no rites of passage, no elders, no map to manhood. He may physically be an adult, but still wonders, "Am I a man?" When John Sowers twin daughters were born, he felt exposed, thinking manhood was out of reach. He needed direction. Following in the steps of ordinary men and the heroes of history, legend and myth, he uncovered a new and ancient road. Walk with John on his personal quest to discover the "wild masculine" and to become all that God intended men to be. From a thrilling brush with Kodiak bears in Alaska, to a war hero who rescued his comrades in the Valley of Death, from mythic heroes of Tolkien, to the footsteps of the One, True Myth - as Jesus walked from village into the wilderness, and back again. Stunningly written, this revolutionary book calls older men out of complacency and younger men out of confusion. It calls all men into the greater Story - into a life of sacrificial love, holy defiance, and clear purpose.

nexusstc/The Gagging of God: Christianity Confronts Pluralism/6443f42e70c008bb319cc7dc4a6bbce0.epub

The Gagging of God : Christianity Confronts Pluralism D. A. Carson Zondervan Academic, Grand Rapids, Mich, 2002

The Gold Medallion Award-winning book that presents a persuasive case for Christ as the only way to God in light of contemporary religious pluralism. A great majority of social commentators attempting to define modern Western culture land on a common characteristic: pluralism. This isn't unique to secular culture. Many modern approaches to Christian hermeneutics, or biblical interpretation, have given credence to contemporary pluralism. What began as a refreshing restraint and humility in modern theology has fallen more and more into irresoluteness.It's no secret that the contemporary challenges to Christianity are complex and serious. Yet, far from simple fear-mongering, or cultural warmongering, The Gagging of God takes a hard look at the background and intricacy—of pluralism, postmodernity, and hermeneutics—and equips thoughtful Christians to have intelligent, culturally sensitive, and passionate fidelity to the gospel of Jesus Christ.In his contemplative, even-handed approach, Carson provides a structure of Christian thought capable of facing the philosophies of today and piercing their surface. It invites Christians to grapple responsibly with urgent questions of biblically-grounded theology, spirituality, and the defining lines of Christianity, along with its range of challenges from without and within. The Gagging of God offers an in-depth look at the big picture, shows how the many ramifications of pluralism are all parts of a whole, and provides a systematic Christian response.

Understanding Affections in the Theology of Jonathan Edwards: The High Exercises of Divine Love (T&T Clark Studies in Systematic Theology Book 33) RYAN JARED MARTIN T&T Clark; Bloomsbury, Bloomsbury UK, London, 2019

This volume argues that the notion of "affectionsâ€ ? discussed by Jonathan Edwards (and Christian theologians before him) means something very different from what contemporary English speakers now call "emotions.â€ ? and that Edwards's notions of affections came almost entirely from traditional Christian theology in general and the Reformed tradition in particular. Ryan J. Martin demonstrates that Christian theologians for centuries emphasized affection for God, associated affections with the will, and distinguished affections from passions; generally explaining affections and passions to be inclinations and aversions of the soul. This was Edwards's own view, and he held it throughout his entire ministry. Martin further argues that Edwards's view came not as a result of his reading of John Locke, or the pressures of the Great Awakening (as many Edwardsean scholars argue), but from his own biblical interpretation and theological education. By analysing patristic, medieval and post-medieval thought and the journey of Edwards's psychology, Martin shows how, on their own terms, pre-modern Christians historically defined and described human psychology. ** Review “[This] is an important book for two primary reasons. First, it does a fine job explaining fully a crucial area of Edwards' thinking; second, it corrects misunderstandings that are prevalent in contemporary Christianity related to that area. What is this crucial area of Edwards' thinking? Affections. I've been waiting for a stand-alone volume that addresses this issue - and the contemporary misunderstanding and misappropriation of it by some parts of the church today - and am glad to see this book in print.” ― Josh Moody, College Church, USA ““Interest in Jonathan Edwards has experienced something of a resurgence recently among Evangelicals, yet treatments of Edwards's theology often fail to recognize his core anthropology, anachronistically equating his understanding of the category of affections with contemporary notions of “emotion.” Ryan Martin provides the most comprehensive study of Edwards's thought on matters related to Christian affections, serving as a necessary corrective to contemporary treatments of one of America's most respected theologians.”” ― Scott Aniol, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA ““Jonathan Edwards predicates his argument in Religious Affections on the distinction between affections and passions. Contemporary writers who think only in terms of emotions typically fail to grasp the significance of this distinction, consequently losing much of Edwards's argument. Ryan Martin has done superior work in tracing the history of this distinction and teasing out its significance for Edwards. His work constitutes an important corrective to several current misconceptions.”” ― Kevin T. Bauder, Central Baptist Seminary, USA About the Author Ryan J. Martin is Pastor of First Baptist Church of Granite Falls, MN, USA.

zlib/no-category/John D. Caputo/Hoping Against Hope_117011189.mobi

Hoping Against Hope : Confessions of a Postmodern Pilgrim John D. Caputo Fortress Press, National Book Network, Minneapolis, 2015

John D. Caputo has a long career as one of the preeminent postmodern philosophers in America. The author of such books as Radical Hermeneutics, The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida, and The Weakness of God, Caputo now reflects on his spiritual journey from a Catholic altar boy in 1950s Philadelphia to a philosopher after the death of God. Part spiritual autobiography, part homily on what he calls the “nihilism of grace,” Hoping Against Hope calls believers and nonbelievers alike to participate in the “praxis of the kingdom of God,” which Caputo says we must pursue “without why.” Caputo’s conversation partners in this volume include Lyotard, Derrida, and Hegel, but also earlier versions of himself: Jackie, a young altar boy, and Brother Paul, a novice in a religious order. Caputo traces his own journey from faith through skepticism to hope, after the “death of God.” In the end, Caputo doesn’t want to do away with religion; he wants to redeem religion and to reinvent religion for a postmodern time.
