Book Description
The so-called New Atheists receive much publicity, but their demand to be provided with incontrovertible evidence for the existence of God, and that such evidence must come from a scientific examination of the physical world, is the wrong approach. As many theologians and philosophers have claimed, the search for God begins by looking inwards into oneself. But what does that mean? Surely looking inwards we find nothing but the contents of one’s own mind. Where does God come in? It is by the examination of the contents of the mind and trying to understand how they got there that one seeks clues about God’s influence on the mind. Our consciousness bears a resemblance to that Consciousness from which it is directly derived. It bears his imprint. It is from the characteristics of that imprint we get to know what kind of God we are dealing with. Only then can we be open to realizing how that other creation of his, the physical world, also bears his imprint.

Book Description
Mathematics is the science with the least investment and the highest results - it does not require more than a pencil and paper, sometimes even less, because the only (re)source of mathematics is the truth. Mathematics shows us that simple things are the valuable ones. It teaches us that maximum precision is not necessarily obtained with complex devices: a simple argument can be the most exact instrument if it is in accordance with the frequency of truth. That is why I believe that it can be defined at least in a satisfactory way, as follows: Mathematics is the science of expressing the truth in all the categories used: concrete, abstract, ideas, methods, objectives, hypotheses, results, applications, etc. Mathematics is an instrument of knowing the truth.

Book Description
The Divine Institution provides an account of how a theology of the family came to dominate a white evangelical tradition in the post-civil rights movement United States, providing a theological corollary to Religious Right politics. This tradition inherently enforces racial inequality in that it draws moral, religious, and political attention away from problems of racial and economic structural oppression, explaining all social problems as a failure of the individual to achieve the strong gender and sexual identities that ground the nuclear family. The consequences of this theology are both personal suffering for individuals who cannot measure up to prescribed gender and sexual roles, and political support for conservative government policies. Exposure to experiences that undermine the idea that an emphasis on the family is the solution to all social problems is causing a younger generation of white evangelicals to shift away from this narrow theological emphasis and toward a more social justice-oriented theology. The material and political effects of this shift remain to be seen.

Book Description
Featuring the work of leading contemporary Muslim philosophers and theologians, this book grapples with various forms of evil and suffering in the world today, from COVID-19 and issues in climate change to problems in palliative care and human vulnerability. Rather than walking down well-trodden paths in philosophy of religion which often address questions of evil and suffering by focusing on divine attributes and the God-world relationship, this volume offers another path of inquiry by focusing on human vulnerability, potential, and resilience. Addressing both the theoretical and practical dimensions of the question of evil, topics range from the transformative power of love, virtue ethics in Sufism and the necessity of suffering, to the spiritual significance of the body and Islamic perspectives on embodiment. In doing so, the contributors propose new perspectives based on various pre-modern and contemporary materials that can enrich the emerging field of the global philosophy of religion, thereby radically transforming contemporary debates on the nature of evil and suffering. The book will appeal to researchers in a variety of disciplines, including Islamic philosophy, religious studies, Sufism, and theology.

Book Description
The aim of ""The Revelation of the Tree of Life: The Theology of Divine Perfection"" is to show Christians and non-Christians a brief presentation of the fuller sense ""sensus plenior"" of God's revelation that began with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden and ended in the Triumph of the Cross. The procedure of comparing parallel subjects, the principle of the repetition method, the study of God's perfection, and God's sworn testimonies to man were the methods employed in the composition of this exposition. The Revelation of the Tree of Life takes in the whole work of God's Divine revelation (the Old and New Testaments) and interprets them in context and according to Apostolic tradition. The mystery of the Tree of Life once thought impenetrable to human knowledge will be unveiled. The unveiling of the Tree of Life will reveal God's deeper salvific plan for mankind, which is directly connected with the Institution of the Holy Eucharist. For the Tree of the Cross is the Tree of Life.

Book Description
In this volume, Karin Krause examines conceptions of divine inspiration and authenticity in the religious literature and visual arts of Byzantium. During antiquity and the medieval era, “inspiration” encompassed a range of ideas regarding the divine contribution to the creation of holy texts, icons, and other material objects by human beings. Krause traces the origins of the notion of divine inspiration in the Jewish and polytheistic cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds and their reception in Byzantine religious culture. Exploring how conceptions of authenticity are employed in Eastern Orthodox Christianity to claim religious authority, she analyzes texts in a range of genres, as well as images in different media, including manuscript illumination, icons, and mosaics. Her interdisciplinary study demonstrates the pivotal role that claims to the divine inspiration of religious literature and art played in the construction of Byzantine cultural identity.
