Symbolism in the Bible and Church
by Gilbert CopeA theologian explores the rich imagery and symbolism of the Bible and the Church, offering a new path for spiritual inspiration in the modern era. Does the imagery of the Bible correspond to our present understanding of the human psyche and its environment? Do the doctrinal and ritual patterns of the Church offer effective structure and spiritual orientation for modern life? In Symbolism in the Bible and the Church, theologian Gilbert Cope evaluates these pillars of traditional Hebrew-Christian &“mythology&” in light of our post-Darwinian, post-Freudian, and post-Einsteinian age. In this lucid and wide-ranging study, Cope argues that the imagery and symbolism of the Bible and the Church are more vital than ever. While the scientific method has opened a door to knowledge, it has also opened a door to ignorance. The more we discover, the more we realize how little we know.
A Theory of Consciousness
by Arnold SchultzAn examination of the underpinning of philosophical thought—consciousness—through a study of the physiology of the central nervous system. Philosophy begins with an acknowledgment of consciousness as an internal experience. Many renowned thinkers—from Descartes (&“I think, therefore I am&”) to John Dewey and his theory of inquiry—assume without further ado that consciousness is necessary to experience. Famous philosophies have been founded on the choice of a mode of thought and its consistent use. A Theory of Consciousness maintains that there are a number of different types of thinking which lead to a variety of logical results; that everyone is capable of following these differing schools of thought, though usually favoring by habit one more than another; and that everyone trusts the results of a particular coordination while employing it and often while following it in the expression of another thinker. Author Arnold Schultz maintains that before these various modes of thought can be considered, it is necessary to explain the phenomenon of consciousness in terms of the energies of the central nervous system. In this work, Schultz covers such subjects as: direct versus reflective consciousness, bodily awareness, logic and mathematics, kinesthetic and ontic sensations, affectation, passive and active referral, and more.

The Will of God (Festival Bks.)
by Leslie WeatherheadThe phrase "the will of God" is used loosely, says Leslie Weatherhead, and the consequence of that looseness to our peace of mind is serious. Weatherhead's recognition of this problem led him to write The Will of God, a classic that has helped more than a million grieving persons better understand the meaning of the phrase. It can help you as well. It was during the tumultuous era of World War II that Leslie Weatherhead preached five sermons on understanding the will of God for the congregation at City Temple in London. These sermons became the classic book The Will of God, which has helped hundreds of thousands of Christians explore how God's will is related to God's character and ultimate intentions for us. A six-week workbook study is also available that uses three case studies to illustrate the questions that arise in understanding the book #0687008409.
