Systematic Theology: The Doctrine of God
by Katherine SondereggerThe mystery of Almighty God is most properly an explication of the oneness of God, tying the faith of the church to the bedrock of Israels confession of the lord of the covenant, the lord of our Lord Jesus Christ. The doctrine of divine attributes, then, is set out as a reflection on Holy Scripture: the One God as omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, and all these as expressions of the Love who is God. Systematic theology must make bold claims about its knowledge and service of this One lord: the Invisible God must be seen and known in the visible. In this way, God and Gods relation to creation are distinguishedbut not separatedfrom Christology, the doctrine of perfections from redemption. The lord God will be seen as compatible with creatures, and the divine perfections express formally distinct and unique relations to the world.
Systematic Theology: The Triune God (Systematic Theology #1)
by Robert W. JensonThe Triune God, together with the forthcoming second volume, The Works of God, develops a compendious statement of Christian theology in the tradition of a medieval summa, or of such modern works as those of Schleiermacher and Barth. <p><p>Theology, as it is understood here, is the Christianchurch's continuing discourse concerning her specific communal purpose; it is the hermeneutic and critical reflection internal to the church's task of speaking the gospel, to the world as message and to God in petition and praise. This volume and its successor are thus dedicated to the service of the one church of the creeds; it is for no particular denomination or confession.
Systematic Theology: Volume 2, The Works of God
by Robert W. JensonThis book is the capstone of the author's long and distinguished career as a theologian, being a full-scale systematic/dogmatic theology in the classic format. This is the second and concluding volume of the work. Here, he considers the works of God, examining such topics asthe nature and role of the Church, and God's works of creation.
Systematic Theology: Volume II, Existence and The Christ
by Paul TillichIn this volume, the second of his three-volume reinterpretation of Christian theology, Paul Tillich comes to grips with the central idea of his system—the doctrine of the Christ. Man's predicament is described as the state of "estrangement" from himself, from his world, and from the divine ground of his self and his world. This situation drives man to the quest for a new state of things, in which reconciliation and reunion conquer estrangement. This is the quest for the Christ.
Systematic Theology: Volume Two
by Paul TillichThe second volume of the eminent Christian philosopher’s magnum opus, in which he explores humanity’s quest for Christ.Paul Tillich’s Systemic Philosophy is the most comprehensive and definitive presentation of his groundbreaking theological message: his “method of correlation”, which finds the answers to humanity’s most urgent existential dilemmas in the principles of Christian revelation. In volume two of this three-volume work, Tillich comes to grips with the central idea of his system—the doctrine of the Christ. Here, Tillich describes the human predicament as the state of “estrangement” from ourselves, from our world, and from the divine Ground of Being. This situation drives us to the quest for a new state of things, in which reconciliation and reunion conquer estrangement. This is the quest for the Christ.
Systemic Islamophobia in Canada: A Research Agenda (Dimensions: Islam, Muslims, and Critical Thought)
by Anver M. EmonSystemic Islamophobia in Canada presents critical perspectives on systemic Islamophobia in Canadian politics, law, and society, and maps areas for future research and inquiry. The authors consist of both scholars and professionals who encounter in the ordinary course of their work the – sometimes banal, sometimes surprising – operation of systemic Islamophobia. Centring the lived realities of Muslims primarily in Canada, but internationally as well, the contributors identify the limits of democratic accountability in the operation of our shared institutions of government. Intended as a guide, the volume identifies important points of consideration that have systemic implications for whether, how, and under what conditions Islamophobia is enabled and perpetuated, and in some cases even rendered respectable policy or bureaucratic practice in Canada. Ultimately, Systemic Islamophobia in Canada identifies a range of systemically Islamophobic sites in Canada to guide citizens and policymakers in fulfilling the promise of an inclusive democratic Canada.
Syzygy Oracle - Transformational Tarot and The Tree of Life: Ego, Essence and the Evolution of Consciousness
by Heather MendelSyzygy? Jung used the term to describe the balancing of the opposites. Astronomically, syzygy (pronounced si-zi-gee) refers to a specific conjunction of the sun, moon and earth. On Mother Earth, the planet we call home, we are profoundly influenced by the radiance of the sun as well as the reflected light of the moon as we walk between light and darkness, physically and metaphorically. Solar energy evolves the ego and lunar energy evolves our essence. We learn the balance the two as we travel the twenty-two pathways of Kabbalah's Tree of Life. Honoring The Sacred Feminine, the spiritual practice offered here is an invitation to recognize and welcome intuitive wisdom more definitively into everyday awareness. A fresh interpretation of the traditional Major Arcana for women, here the patriarchal layering of the cards is lifted to reveal a timeless and timely revelation of intuitive wisdom in a sequence of insightful, profound, and empowering teachings for any woman who wishes to read her own life story as more substantive than superficial. Twenty-two of these cards reinterpret the Tarot's Major Arcana. Aligning the cards with the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, we access three levels of soul consciousness, in Hebrew known as nefesh, ruach and neshamah through the specific letter, number and story of each card. Meet inspirational archetypes from world culture to light the way. Through meditations and mantras, discover your personal hero's journey that is a crucial part of evolving consciousness.Ten additional cards representing the sefirot or energy centers, offer the Tree of Life as an experiential introduction to Kabbalah. Coincidence and kabbalah, symbols and synchronicities, metaphors and mantras enrich and deepen life's experience. This mythic and metaphoric interpretation liberates these cards solely from the realm of prognostication and presents a meditative and inspirational tool for a daily personal practice. Heather Mendel's elegant, powerful images, full of mystery and complexity, will forever change the way you view the wisdom of the ancient Tarot.
Szymanowski, Eroticism and the Voices of Mythology
by Stephen DownesThe desire to voice the artistic revelation of the truth of a precarious, multi-faceted, yet integrated self lies behind much of Szymanowski's work. This self is projected through the voices of deities who speak languages of love. The unifying figure is Eros, who may be embodied as Dionysus, Christ, Narcissus or Orpheus, and the gospel he proclaims tells of the resurrection and freedom of the desiring subject. This book examines Szymanowski's exploration of the relationship between the authorial voice, mythology and eroticism within the context of the crisis of the modern subject in Western culture. Stephen Downes analyses mythological and erotic aspects of selected songs from the composer's early career, moving to an interpretation of the voice of the homoerotic lover, embodied as a mad muezzin, in terms of heroic notions of Orphic elegy. Discussing the encounters of King Roger with the voices of Narcissus, the Siren and Dionysus, Downes shows how the composer uses the unifying Christ/Eros figure as a means of indicating that the King might be transformed from anguished despot to loving expressive subject. The book ends with an examination of Szymanowski's desire to fuse Slavonic and Middle-Eastern mythological inspirations in an attempt to fulfil a utopian vision of a pan-European culture bound together by the spirit of Eros.

Säkularismus, Postsäkularismus und die Zukunft der Religionen: Festschrift für Yvanka B. Raynova zum 60. Geburtstag
by Susanne Moser Hans-Walter RuckenbauerWie lässt sich das Religiöse heute redlich denken? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Philosophie und Religion bzw. Theologie zueinander? Ist ein religiöser Glaube nur eine Option unter anderen oder vielmehr eine tiefe Dimension menschlicher Existenz, auch in einer pluralistischen Kultur? Inwiefern sind religiöse und liberale Werte miteinander vereinbar? Zwei gegensätzliche Diagnosen halten diese Fragen in Spannung: einerseits die Behauptung, wir lebten in einem säkularen bzw. postreligiösen Zeitalter, und andererseits die Annahme einer "Wiederkehr des Religiösen" in einer postsäkularen Epoche. Die Differenz zwischen säkular und religiös durchzieht alle kulturwissenschaftlichen Debatten und berührt gleichermaßen die Fragen zur Rolle der Ethik, einer solidarischen Lebensweise und der feministischen Theoriebildung in unseren spätmodernen Gesellschaften. In drei Perspektiven fängt der vorliegende Band die Dialektik von Religion und Vernunft ein: Die religionsphilosophische Analyse fördert grundlegende Konvergenzen und Differenzen zu Tage. Der Blick auf die faktische Parallelität von säkularen und religiösen Vollzügen unter dem gemeinsamen Dach einer sozialen Identität thematisiert die Stabilität pluraler Lebenswelten. Schließlich erweist sich der Horizont eines globalen Ethos als jener Prüfstein, am dem sich profane und religiöse Wertkonzepte behaupten müssen. Die thematisierten Diskurse korrespondieren mit den zentralen Forschungsfragen im Werk der Phänomenologin und Religionsphilosophin Yvanka B. Raynova, ordentliche Professorin für Gegenwartsphilosophie an der Bulgarischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Der vorliegende Band gilt als Festschrift zu ihren Ehren aus Anlass ihres 60. Geburtstags.

T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom
by Linda Myoki LehrhauptUnlike most t'ai chi books, which focus strictly on how to do the t'ai chi forms, T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom presents a personal, practical view of this intriguing martial art. Lehrhaupt shares illuminating stories from her own life and the lives of her students that show how t'ai chi can be a vehicle for profound self-discovery and spiritual growth. In learning to master each body posture, t'ai chi students often confront self-doubt, frustration, and the desire to compete and compare themselves to others--problems that also arise in daily life. Lehrhaupt shows how these and other obstacles provide valuable opportunities to deepen awareness and recognize the striking continuities between practice and everyday life. Each section of the book includes practical exercises designed to enhance students' understanding of t'ai chi movements, and a helpful appendix answers many frequently asked questions about t'ai chi training such as how to find a teacher and how to balance practice with family life. Full of useful insights and guidance, T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom will be a valuable companion for all students of this increasingly popular martial art.

T. F. Torrance as Missional Theologian: The Ascended Christ and the Ministry of the Church (New Explorations in Theology)
by Joseph H. SherrardChrist has ascended. Yet his work continues. Much has been made of a "missional" view of the church in recent theological literature, but largely overlooked in this discussion has been the contribution that T. F. Torrance, the late Church of Scotland minister and theologian, can make to this discussion. Addressing this lacuna, theologian and pastor Joseph Sherrard considers how Torrance's theology can inform the church's understanding of its ministry and mission—in particular, his appeal to the church's participation in the ascended Christ's threefold office as king, prophet, and priest. Through the ministry of the church, Christ is still at work.
T. F. Torrance’s Christological Anthropology: Discerning Humanity in Christ (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Christopher G. WoznickiThis book demonstrates the promise of Christology for developing Scottish theologian T. F. Torrance’s theological anthropology. T. F. Torrance’s Christological Anthropology: Discerning Humanity in Christ engages with several key themes in Torrance’s theological anthropology and considers how each one of these topics—anthropological method, the metaphysics of human nature, the imago Dei, personhood, vocation, human destiny—can be further developed in light of Christ. Christopher Woznicki argues that Christology not only holds promise for the task of developing Torrance’s insights on humanity but also for developing a constructive account of humanity. The volume is valuable reading for scholars of T. F. Torrance’s theology and for those who are interested in the role of Christology in theological anthropology.
