Neoplatonism in Relation to Christianity an Essay (Classic Reprint) by Charles Elsee Pdf

Excerpt from Neoplatonism in Relation to Christianity an Essay The subject of the essay is N eoplatonism in re lation to Christianity. The addition of this qualifying clause serves to limit the field of the enquiry, and to differentiate its object from that of a history of philosophy. The writer of such a history regards Neoplatonism purely from a philosophical stand point. He draws out its relation to earlier and later systems, and seeks to assign to it its proper place in the development of human thought. Neo platonism however was not merely a great philo sophical revival: it was a part of a yet greater religious movement: and it is the latter aspect which this essay has to set forth.

From Augustine to Eriugena by John J. O'Meara Pdf

In 1984 a group of John O'Meara's colleagues decided to mark the occasion of his retirement from the chair of Latin in University College, Dublin, by the publication of a volume of essays. This book concentrates on Augustine and Eriugena, the two authors on whom he worked and with whom his international reputation is associated. Just as Augustine and Eriugena each tries to reconcile in his own individual way the Christian faith with the wisdom of the Graeco-Roman world, so this volume finds its focus.

Neoplatonism (Classic Reprint) by Charles Bigg Pdf

Excerpt from Neoplatonism Stoic, Humanist, and Reformer were all anxious to simplify dogma. The resemblance between Tyndale and the Roman Stoic is very close. Both thought that the necessary beliefs are few, and attainable by the simplest man, without any help from instruction or authority. It may be that the Roman Stoics did not wholly believe their own creed, and this latitudinarianism enables them to smooth off many of its angles, and use language which, in their mouths, could have no real meaning. Nevertheless the creed is there, though hundreds have read Epictetus and Marcus without perceiving it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Documents not long discovered and only recently availed of, have enabled the Author to place, for the first time, he believes, before the English reader, the true record of the attitude of the 'church towards the Aristotelian Philosophy, from its condemnation by the Council of Paris in 1209 to its full recognition by the Legates of Pope Urban V. In 1366. This 'has been hitherto a vexed question, but ill-understood and 111 explained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Christianity and Modern Culture by Charles Gray Shaw Pdf

Excerpt from Christianity and Modern Culture: An Essay in Philosophy of Religion Are we Christians yet? We may ask. Here is an important question overlooked by Strauss and Schleiermacher. Has modern life outlived Christianity by surmounting its ideals, by exhausting its possibilities? Rather let us say we are not yet abreast of the march of this form of religion, whose precincts are still those of an undiscovered country. Not as a withering aftermath, but as a whitening harvest, must Christianity be viewed; outside of Christianity nothing higher will arise, but within it newer forms will spring forth. A new era will be a Christian era; it will be modern thought indeed, conscious that Christ has created a new world Order and that He has left a deathless inipres sion upon mankind.

The Pleroma by Paul Carus Pdf

Excerpt from The Pleroma: An Essay on the Origin of Christianity His little book is a mere sketch. With concise brevity it treats a great theme - the origin Of Christianity which deserves the attention of the thoughtful. The author concentrates his presentation of the case upon the main features, treating them and them only, with a considerable attention to detail; but he hopes by this limitation to the most salient points to bring clearness into a subject which has never been fully understood on account of the many bewildering side issues that surround and often obscure the main problem. The solution here offered contains some new points of view which the author has gradually gained through his study Of detached portions Of this large subject, yet in all his several inquiries the results have led to the same conclusion which is here summarized. Christianity is not the result Of accident, but of necessity. There are definite causes and definite effects. Its doctrines, its ceremonies, its ethics are the product Of given conditions and the result could not be different.

Christian Metaphysics and Neoplatonism by Albert Camus Pdf

Contemporary scholarship tends to view Albert Camus as a modern, but he himself was conscious of the past and called the transition from Hellenism to Christianity "the true and only turning point in history." For Camus, modernity was not fully comprehensible without an examination of the aspirations that were first articulated in antiquity and that later received their clearest expression in Christianity. These aspirations amounted to a fundamental reorientation of human life in politics, religion, science, and philosophy. Understanding the nature and achievement of that reorientation became the central task of Christian Metaphysics and Neoplatonism. Primarily known through its inclusion in a French omnibus edition, it has remained one of Camus' least-read works, yet it marks his first attempt to understand the relationship between Greek philosophy and Christianity as he charted the movement from the Gospels through Gnosticism and Plotinus to what he calls Augustine's "second revelation" of the Christian faith. Ronald Srigley's translation of this seminal document helps illuminate these aspects of Camus' work. His freestanding English edition exposes readers to an important part of Camus' thought that is often overlooked by those concerned primarily with the book's literary value and supersedes the extant McBride translation by retaining a greater degree of literalness. Srigley has fully annotated Christian Metaphysics to include nearly all of Camus' original citations and has tracked down many poorly identified sources. When Camus cites an ancient primary source, whether in French translation or in the original language, Srigley substitutes a standard English translation in the interest of making his edition accessible to a wider range of readers. His introduction places the text in the context of Camus' better-known later work, explicating its relationship to those mature writings and exploring how its themes were reworked in subsequent books. Arguing that Camus was one of the great critics of modernity through his attempt to disentangle the Greeks from the Christians, Srigley clearly demonstrates the place of Christian Metaphysics in Camus' oeuvre. As the only stand-alone English version of this important work-and a long-overdue critical edition-his fluent translation is an essential benchmark in our understanding of Camus and his place in modern thought.

The timeless message of the New Testament applies to people of every culture and generation. Yet there is great value in understanding the world in which that message was first revealed - its social manners, politics, religious customs, and culture. Exploring the New Testament World, written by classics and Bible scholar Dr. Albert A. Bell, Jr., illuminates the living context of the New Testament, immersing its readers in the intriguing world of Jesus and the early church. An authority on ancient Greek and Roman language, culture, and history, Dr. Bell writes in a readable style that is accessible and enjoyable to any reader - an uncommon accomplishment among New Testament scholars today. Surveying Jewish factions of the era, the social and political structure of the Roman Empire, and the philosophies and religions that surrounded the early church, Dr. Bell helps his readers learn to think like first-century Jews, Greeks, and Romans, illuminating puzzling New Testament passages for clear understanding. Comprehensive Scripture and Subject Indexes make this volume even more useful as a "manners and customs" Bible companion.
