Experience, Culture and Religion in Systematic Theology: An Integrative and Pluriform Methodology
by Edmond Zi-Kang ChuaMost systematicians take as their starting point the nature of God, and scripture as the means by which God's nature is revealed, but what would a systematic theology look like that began with an experiential knowledge of God? Here, Edmond Chua offers a method for just such an approach. Beginning with realms of human experience including psychology, cultural diversity and religious plurality, he builds the framework of a systematic theology that is inclusive and pluriform, while retaining the core tenets of a Christian doctrine of God. Notwithstanding his novel methodology, Chua's argument remains biblically rooted and appreciative of the Christian tradition. In the latter half of the book he returns to the classical doctrines of the Trinity, Christology, evil, sin and salvation, allowing his inclusive view of the human religious experience to shed new light on the wisdom bequeathed by Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Barth, and others. The result is a bold Christian vision that is culturally engaged and globally applicable, of interest to systematic theologians while contributing to interreligious dialogue.

Against Worldview: Reimagining Christian Formation as Growth in Wisdom
by Simon P. KennedyReframing the lenses of Christian worldview Recognize the limits and failures of Christian worldview education Consider a more organic approach to Christian learning and education Understand the value of wisdom over rigid frameworks In Against Worldview: Reimagining Christian Formation as Growth in Wisdom, Simon P. Kennedy challenges the conventions of Christian worldview education and provides a better way. Although the current concept of Christian worldview appears incontestable, it rests upon shaky philosophical foundations, fails to account for the complexities of how we interact with the world, and may even undermine the curiosity essential for true learning. But rather than shattering the lenses of Christian worldview, Kennedy reframes worldview around wisdom. A biblical worldview is not downloaded all at once. It is cultivated piece by piece, as we learn about God, his world, and ourselves. Christian education is an organic process of learning to wisely nurture a biblical worldview.
Fiamma (Serie della Famiglia Macpherson)
by Jan Coffey May McGoldrickFIAMMA Dall'autrice May McGoldrick, bestseller di USA Today... Una storia di forze oscure e del potere di redenzione dell'amore! ESSERE CONSUMATI DALL'AMORE... Il castello di Ironcross era definito maledetto, dagli Highlander. Gli ultimi proprietari erano morti in incidenti, cadute o incendi. L'ultimo proprietario, Gavin Kerr, non temeva la morte. Era il sentimento, che temeva: il dolore del tradimento e della perdita. In quel momento, arrivato al castello, sentiva parlare di infestazioni e culti e si ritrovava attratto dal ritratto della bella Joanna MacInnes, morta lì, tra le fiamme di una fornace. Guardandola, Gavin la desiderava, provando un desiderio impossibile di prenderla tra le braccia. O BRUCIARE... La vera Joanna MacInnes era scampata all'incendio che aveva ucciso la sua famiglia. Per mesi aveva percorso Ironcross di notte, nascondendosi nei suoi passaggi segreti, alla ricerca della verità dietro la maledizione del castello. Ora temeva che la maledizione avrebbe reclamato Gavin Kerr. Eppure, avvertirlo, toccarlo nell'oscurità, aveva presto acceso un altro tipo di fuoco. E anche quando le sue labbra si erano aperte sotto quelle di lui, sapeva che il tempo stava per scadere, prima di affrontare un cattivo senza cuore... un segreto terrificante... e una lotta tra l'oscurità eterna e il potere dell'amore eterno!

The Unconscious in Social and Political Life (The Political Mind)
by David MorganTraumatic events happen in every age, yet there is a particularly cataclysmic feeling to our own epoch that is so attractive to some and so terrifying to others. The terrible events of September 11th 2001 still resonate and the repercussions continue to this day: the desperation of immigrants fleeing terror, the uncertainty of Brexit, Donald Trump in the White House, the rise of the alt-right and hard left, increasing fundamentalism, and terror groups intent on causing destruction to the Western way of life. If that were not enough, we also have to grapple with the enormity of climate change and the charge that if we do not act now, it will be too late. Is it any wonder many are left overwhelmed by the events they see on the news? Galvanised by the events outside of his consulting room, in 2015, David Morgan began The Political Mind seminars at the British Psychoanalytical Society and their successful run continues today. A series of superlative seminars, mostly presented by colleagues from the British Society plus a few select external experts, that examine a dazzling array of relevant topics to provide a psychoanalytic understanding of just what is going on in our world. This book is the first in The Political Mind series to bring these seminars to a wider audience. The Unconscious in Political and Social Life contains compelling contributions from Christopher Bollas, Michael Rustin, Jonathan Sklar, David Bell, Philip Stokoe, Roger Kennedy, David Morgan, M. Fakhry Davids, Ruth McCall, R. D. Hinshelwood, Renee Danziger, Josh Cohen, Sally Weintrobe, and Margot Waddell. They investigate so many vital issues affecting us today: the evolution of democracy, right-wing populism, prejudice, the rise of the far right, attitudes to refugees and migrants, neoliberalism, fundamentalism, terrorism, the Palestine-Israel situation, political change, feminism, austerity in the UK, financial globalisation, and climate change. This book needs to be read by all who are concerned by the state of the world today. Psychoanalysis and psychoanalysts with their awareness of what motivates human beings bring clarity and fresh insight to these matters. A deeper understanding of humanity awaits the reader of The Unconscious in Political and Social Life.

In the sacrament of Communion, Jesus offers believers nothing less than his holy, life-giving body and cleansing blood. He brings heaven to earth for us and gives us a foretaste of the heavenly supper of the Lamb. And by faith, we commune with him. In the Eucharist, Christians give thanks for God's gift of himself.
