E-book Cosmic Christology in Paul and the Pauline School : Colossians and Eph…

eflections on God, Christ and cosmos in the writings of Paul and the Pauline School show that these authors were familiar with important notions from Graeco-Roman cosmology and theology. George van Kooten comes to the conclusion that they might even have adopted a way of thinking in which Judaism and Graeco-Roman cosmology were forged into a new synthesis, and Christ was viewed as a cosmic god.…

n a sunny, crisp morning in May 2008, I traveled by bus to Sipoo, a town east of Helsinki, to interview Anna.

Slightly nervous, as always when meeting new interviewees, I rang her doorbell, and Anna came to the d…

E-book A Peculiar Glory : How the Christian Scriptures Reveal their Complete …

There is a story behind every book. That is certainly true here. This introduction is not that story; my story comes in chapter 1. But I think it will be helpful to signal immediately why glory figures so largely in this book. My seven decades of experience with the Bible have not been mainly a battle to hold on. They have been a blessing of being held on to, namely, by beauty—that is, by glo…

E-book All That Jesus Commanded : The Christian Life According to the Gospel

Actually, the final command was more precise than that. He did not say, “Teach them all my commandments.” He said, “Teach them to observe all my commandments.” You can teach a parrot all of Jesus’s commandments. But you cannot teach a parrot to observe them. Parrots will not repent, and worship Jesus, and lay up treasures in heaven, and love their enemies, and go out like sheep in the…

E-book The Legacies of Albert Schweitzer Reconsidered

There can be no ‘neutral’ Schweitzer interpretation. Schweitzer’s thoughts changed over the years, as is the case with most human beings. He was too considered to make one-sided statements.

E-Book Heterodoxy and Rational Theology: Jean Le Clerc an Origen

Despite his controversial reputation, Origen of Alexandria (185–253) was very much present in 17th- century religious debates.

E-book Faith : The Ultimate Guide to Receive from God

E-book The Roots of Good and Evil

The Buddha has taught that there are three roots of evil: greed, hatred and delusion. These three states comprise the entire range of evil, whether of lesser or greater intensity, from a faint mental tendency to the coarsest manifestations in action and speech. In whatever way they appear, these are the basic causes of suffering. These roots have their opposites: non-greed, non-hatred and non-d…
