Book Description
This book has two main theses. First, for the biblical/Christian doctrine of sin the root of the human problem is hardness of heart--the corruption of the core self, of the seat of understanding and will. On the other hand, for an important strand of Greek tragedy the root of human harm-doing is the nonculpable blindness and anxiety of finitude that despite the initial nonculpability lead to evil and suffering. The Hardened Heart shows that these two different interpretations of human existence are amenable to a degree of synthesis that leads to this conclusion: hardness of heart and our ordinary finitude together collude to cause sin in its fullness. The second thesis of this volume is that exegetical studies disclose a deconstructive strand in certain biblical texts that represents the finite world that God created as a source of distress and harm-doing in something like the tragic sense. This subdominant deconstructive position challenges the dominant biblical vision, in which the creation came forth from God's creative word as good without qualification.

Donald MacKinnon's Theology
Author: Andrew Bowyer
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567681254
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Andrew Bowyer presents the first comprehensive examination of Donald MacKinnon's theology in relation to his moral philosophy. He offers an original and creative reading of MacKinnon's methodology, and important insights into the key influences and core questions which stood at the heart of his work. Bowyer outlines MacKinnon's contributions to Anglican theology in the aftermath of the Second World War, highlighting the “therapeutic” nature of his approach in as far as it combined a call for intense self-awareness with a commitment to moral realism. As one of the most influential Anglican theologians in the mid-twentieth century, MacKinnon's writings reveal him as a restive and unsystematic thinker. However, Bowyer argues that a series of reoccurring questions – 'obsessions' might better honour the memory of MacKinnon's temperament –appear throughout his work, relating to the tensions between the realism and idealism, the call to be “morally serious”, the nature of theological truth claims, and the perennially disruptive presence of Christ. Bowyer examines the key influences on MacKinnon's thought, the centrality of Christology to his project, his engagement with literature and literary criticism, as well as his response to Wittgenstein's later philosophy. This volume offers an appreciation of his contribution and a critique of his legacy.

Hardness of Heart in Biblical Literature
Author: Charles B. Puskas
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666736503
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
Every speaker, teacher, or preacher has on some occasion encountered an audience that was unreceptive to what he or she had to say. One response to such communication breakdowns given by both the Old Testament prophets and New Testament authors was to declare that the hearers “have hardened their hearts to the message” or that “God has hardened them.” What is this hardness-of-heart phenomenon? Who became hardened and why? Was it a result of some “deficiency” in communication? What were the consequences of such a disposition? Is there any hope for a change of perspective for those hardened? In this concise and carefully argued volume, Charles Puskas considers all the key texts relating to human obstinacy towards God in pursuit of answers to these questions.

Soul Whisperer
Author: Daniel Austin Napier
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666768359
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Three hundred years before Christianity became a religion, Jesus taught the Way. His earliest followers identified as philosophers—adherents to the philosophy of Jesus. In this book, Daniel Austin Napier guides us to directly experience Jesus’ unparalleled genius for renovating human life. A good tour guide, Napier gestures toward and describes other figures on the periphery—such as Socrates, Aristotle, and the Stoics—to whom Jesus may be fruitfully compared. But Jesus and his account of lasting personal change is the singular point of focus from beginning to end. With cross-disciplinary knowledge and gentle personal warmth, Napier presents a portrait of Jesus that you’ve never seen before but that you’ve been looking for. Perhaps you wonder: What’s a soul and what’s it good for? How could you locate it in everyday experience? Just how smart is Jesus? What did he say that changed his students so drastically? What are the essential ingredients of lasting personal change? What’s it like to co-work with God, and how can you recognize when it’s happening? What’s so different, and so good, about the God whom Jesus calls Father? You will find lucid answers to all these questions and many more inside. You’re invited. Come explore Jesus’ philosophy of personal transformation.
