A Hitchhiker's Guide to Jesus by Bruce N. Fisk Pdf

This imaginative approach to Jesus studies chronicles the journey of Norm, a fictional college graduate who travels to the Middle East to see if he can study Jesus and follow him at the same time, and if curiosity will make him a better disciple or no disciple at all. Norm sets out on an adventure to investigate the New Testament and the life of Jesus for himself, hitchhiking simultaneously across the Gospels and the land. His travels offer students and lay readers a creative and engaging way to explore many of the major questions in Jesus studies today. Will Norm be able to reconcile his Christian faith with critical scholarship? As readers follow his faith journey, they learn the importance of asking probing questions. The book's lavish, journal-style interior design--featuring maps, photos, doodles, sketches, and email exchanges between Norm and his professor--makes it fun to read.

Religion and Atheism in Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Christian Schlegel Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: A, University of Glasgow, course: Religion and Literature, 10 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Douglas Adams says about himself that he is not just a confessing atheist, but rather a radical atheist. This attitude leads us to the task of this seminar paper. It will examine some of the theological and philosophical elements, which appear in the text, and how the author's personal confession influenced their use. Furthermore, as a result, we will see in how far this piece of literature can be regarded as serious criticism of religion.

The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Heaven by John Blanchard Pdf

With so many false views of heaven all around us, John Blanchard gets rid of any speculation and focuses, from the Bible, both on what heaven is and how people are to make their way there. The author reminds us of what is so often forgotten in relation to heaven: that the most wonderful thing about it is being with Christ. In a world that is fixated with the here-and-now, here is a reminder of what Richard Baxter used to work hard at communicating to his church members: that death is not the end of the pilgrimage, but merely the end of the beginning. In this book, there is, as there was with Baxter, a filling of both the mind and heart with a recognition of an age to come in order that Christians might live godly lives in the present age. In his introduction, John Blanchard quotes the American preacher, Al Martin, who claims, "If I took a pair of scissors and clipped out every explicit and implicit reference to heaven from Genesis to Revelation, I would be left with a very thin Bible."

And Another Thing ... by Eoin Colfer Pdf

Discover the sixth book in the ludicrously inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, as broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and featuring original cast members including Simon Jones, Geoff McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey and Sandra Dickinson. Arthur Dent led a perfectly ordinary, uneventful life until the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy hurled him deep into outer space. Now he's convinced a cruelly indifferent universe is out to get him. And who can blame him? His life is about to collide with a pantheon of unemployed gods, a lovestruck green alien, a very irritating computer and at least one very large slab of cheese. If, that is, everyone's favourite renegade Galactic President can get him off planet Earth before it is destroyed . . . again. 'A triumph, fabulous. Colfer has given us a delight' Observer 'I haven't read anything in a long time that made me laugh as much' The Times 'Chock-full of fanciful, inventive one-liners and asides, brimming with a burning sense of the ridiculousness of life' Independent on Sunday 'The best post-mortem impersonation I have ever read' Mark Lawson, Guardian

The Gospel of Jesus Green by Neil J. Whitehouse Pdf

This is a gospel of personal stories, science, and existential hope for the Jesus-curious and those who want to know what Green means. Modern people are like the passengers on the Titanic; the triumphs of technology have real limitations. They face the necessity to share the planet that takes them to hard politics. Economics can be integrated with ecology and the essentials of human relationships. The history of Jesus may make him an uncertain figure, but his demand to live for the best can still be felt. Whitehouse draws on paleontologist Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and existentialist Paul Tillich to claim ''home for all, not just for humans'' is a universal biological phenomenon and a truth named by Jesus. A biodiversity of illustrations entertains and reveals; trees can speak, dead birds teach, and rivers become persons. Then Jesus Green emerges, as a systems thinker, for the home. If Jesus was homeless for a cause, he found his home on the cross, now a paradoxical symbol that lifts up our place within nature. This creative, passionate account delivers the punch other Green Christian books lack. It could not have come sooner.

Lexon by Henning Diedrich Pdf

THIS RELEASE IS AN EARLY DRAFT FOR FEEDBACK AND DISCUSSION.*Lexon* is a new type of program language that anyone can read without prior knowledge of programming. It was made for blockchain *smart contracts* and can be used to write (more) legal smart contracts. Its application points beyond blockchain and legal concerns though, to any circumstance where people would benefit from algorithms to be more transparent. It is really about a new paradigm in programming.This book is a comprehensive introduction into the language, its use and its purpose by the creator. It starts out with practical examples, gives context for the online editor to try Lexon live, touches on the philosophical and the history of (more) human-readable languages. The author published the first best seller on smart contracts and with this new book proposes where the journey will go.*Lexon* achieves the Holy Grail of Computational Law: it captures the meaning of contracts for automatic processing. But Lexon is also useful for any community or company that wants its smart contracts to be readable for all its members. Programming should long have been this easy. Legal prose should long have been as accessible and affordable as contracts written in Lexon are. Lexon joins the old and the new, the power of the word with the power of the electron, and by this, super charges blockchain technology in an unexpected way that will touch many walks of life.This book is for everyone who is curious and has an open mind. Lexon is still under development. Find updates about Lexon at https://www.lexon.tech.*In non-technical terms,* this book presents* examples of legal, smart contracts that anyone can read, written in Lexon; * visualizes what Lexon does differently from other program languages to stay closer to human language and to keep more semantic information intact; * proposes what elements constitute human-readability and how they shape up with Lexon;* Lexon's grammar, vocabulary and document structure are explained; * abstract syntax trees are illustrated; * the term 'meaning' is discussed to explore Lexon's relationship to AI; * the research leading to the human-readable program language is retraced and put into the context of Computational Law, and the history of program language;* finally, applications and benefits of the new capabilities are listed.

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson Pdf

Can I get a “ramen” from the congregation?! Behold the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), today’s fastest growing carbohydrate-based religion. According to church founder Bobby Henderson, the universe and all life within it were created by a mystical and divine being: the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What drives the FSM’ s devout followers, a.k.a. Pastafarians? Some say it’s the assuring touch from the FSM’s “noodly appendage.” Then there are those who love the worship service, which is conducted in pirate talk and attended by congregants in dashing buccaneer garb. Still others are drawn to the Church’s flimsy moral standards, religious holidays every Friday, or the fact that Pastafarian heaven is way cooler: Does your heaven have a Stripper Factory and a Beer Volcano? Intelligent Design has finally met its match—and it has nothing to do with apes or the Olive Garden of Eden. Within these pages, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts– dispelling such malicious myths as evolution (“only a theory”), science (“only a lot of theories”), and whether we’re really descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees, but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!) See what impressively credentialed top scientists have to say: “If Intelligent Design is taught in schools, equal time should be given to the FSM theory and the non-FSM theory.” –Professor Douglas Shaw, Ph.D. “Do not be hypocritical. Allow equal time for other alternative ‘theories’ like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice.” –J. Simon, Ph.D. “In my scientific opinion, when comparing the two theories, FSM theory seems to be more valid than classic ID theory.” –Afshin Beheshti, Ph.D. Read the book and decide for yourself!

Mission in the Gospels by Geoffrey Harris Pdf

Mission in the Gospels considers the gospels through a twin lens: first, the nature of Jesus' own mission (as understood by the evangelists), and secondly, the desire of the gospel writers and their churches to gain some understanding of their own mission by interpreting Jesus' attitudes and actions (especially with regard to the Gentiles). The principles for mission that arise out of this investigation shed a good deal of new light on the gospels and the motives for their writing and on their theological insights.
