The Divine Challenge by John Byl Pdf

Since the Beginning of time man has challenged God's supremacy, striving to dethrone God and reinterpret the universe according to his own standards and purposes. In response God, who is determined to destroy the wisdom of the worldly wise and to unmask it for the foolishness that it really is, issues his own challenge to sinful man. Arrogantly, modern scientific man takes up that divine challenge, arming himself with scientific knowledge and technological power. Indeed, man has convinced himself that this rational wisdom has made foolish the wisdom of Scripture, with its tall tales of a personal God, of life after death, and of heaven and hell. 'Such notions', Einstein declared, 'are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.' John byl argues that the Christian worldview provides the only foundation for logic, mathematics, science and morality. The Divine Challenge aims to substantiate this bold claim. Byl shows the failure of today's predominant philosophies to provide a coherent worldview that can yield a plausible account of the various aspects of life as we experience it.

The Divine Challenge (Classic Reprint) by W. J. Dawson Pdf

Excerpt from The Divine Challenge His disciples did not see, we behold the expanding and miraculous phenomenon Of Christianity through nearly twenty centuries the significance of Christ in history, the supremacy that He has won over the souls and minds Of men, the effect which belief in Him has had over all who have truly embraced it, and through them, over great tracts of time, wide fields of event, immense domains of thought, morals and conduct - we see this, and ask, Could a mere man do this? Was not this the very God incarnate, God made manifest in Jesus, so that He who has wrought these wonders in the world might truly claim, I am in the Father, and the Father in me; I and the Father are one.

God Over All by William Lane Craig Pdf

God Over All: Divine Aseity and the Challenge of Platonism is a defense of God's aseity and unique status as the Creator of all things apart from Himself in the face of the challenge posed by mathematical Platonism. After providing the biblical, theological, and philosophical basis for the traditional doctrine of divine aseity, William Lane Craig explains the challenge presented to that doctrine by the Indispensability Argument for Platonism, which postulates the existence of uncreated abstract objects. Craig provides detailed examination of a wide range of responses to that argument, both realist and anti-realist, with a view toward assessing the most promising options for the theist. A synoptic work in analytic philosophy of religion, this groundbreaking volume engages discussions in philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and metaontology.

Divine Challenge by Keri Burnor Pdf

This is the story of a hermit-nun whose life and vocation was 'taken hostage' by the very institution she passionately loved and vowed to serve. This compelling story reveals what renowned author and reformed sex offender, Jake Goldenflame, identifies as a spiritual gang rape by those who promised to be fathers and spiritual guardians to her. The betrayal went so deep that her desire to take up the call of the Lord would eventually take her to a place where the very foundation of her faith would be shaken. All that she knew of God and church would be called into question. This work furnishes the reader for the very first time with the complete story of not only her early conversion and life but of the circumstances and legal case, involving an abbey in rural Massachusetts, that reshaped her life. The facts of this case will show that the trauma suffered even by adult victims of sex abuse stems not only from the act of abuse itself but even more so from the betrayal, the length of concealment, and the intentionality of the cover-up. This work like no other gives a wider perspective in that the victim/survivor here recognizes that the 'offenders' are themselves victims of a diabolically designed structure. She offers a solution to a church and its world-wide crisis. We observe how this hermit-nun was able to continue in her true vocation; she not only kept her faith but saw it grow stronger. Former Catholic hermit-nun, Sister Keri Burnor, spends most of her time in prayer and solitude. She assists many victims of sexual, spiritual, and institutional abuse in an unofficial capacity. She hopes her experience will offer insight that can help victim/ survivors become triumphant victors! May this record help church members and church officials become resolutely competent defenders of God's children, both adults and youngsters alike.

Enduring Divine Absence by Joseph Minich Pdf

Today, millions of people in the modern West identify as atheists. And even for believers, the intellectual and spiritual temptations to deny the existence of God seem greater than ever. Too often we respond to this pressure by seeking more and more rational proofs of God's existence, but what if a lack of reason to believe is not our main problem? In this volume, Joseph Minich argues that our real challenge is existential and imaginative-a felt absence of God that is more visceral in our modern world than for most generations past, and the sense that if God cannot be sensed, He cannot be there. Why are we so haunted and disoriented today by this sense of God's absence? And how can we learn to sustain and strengthen our faith in the face of it? In these pages, Minich charts a way back to a renewal of our hearts and imaginations that can enable us to embrace the challenge of finding and being found by the hidden God.

Making Gender in the Intersection of the Human and the Divine by Thomas Donlin-Smith,Muhammad Shafiq Pdf

This collection of essays challenges the traditional patriarchal approach to sacred literature by highlighting gender parity in sacred texts and envisioning the rise of the matriarchy in the future. The authors redefine Biblical Greek words like malakoi and arsenokoitai used in condemnation of homosexuality, and Qur’anic words like darajah and qawwamun, used for establishing patriarchy. One author reexamines the role of the Nepalese Teej festival of fasting and worship of the god Shiva in promoting male hegemony in Hinduism. Other papers examine passages like Proverbs 31:1-31, the stories of Sarah and Rahab in the Bible, the role of Mary in the Qur’an, and the Dharmic conversion in chapter 27 of the Lotus Sutra. This book makes it clear that sacred literature is subject to human understanding as it evolves through space and time. Today, as more women are educated and actively engaged in political, economic, and social life, religions are challenged to redefine gender roles and norms.
