Divine Impassibility Four Views of God’s Emotions and Suffering


Free Download A. Chadwick Thornhill, "Divine Impassibility: Four Views of God’s Emotions and Suffering"
English | 2019 | pages: 201 | ISBN: 0830852530 | PDF | 3,4 mb
Does God suffer? Does God experience emotions? Does God change? How should we interpret passages of Scripture that seem to support one view or the other? And where does the incarnation and Christ’s suffering on the cross fit into this? This Spectrum Multiview volume brings together four theologians with decidedly different answers to these questions. The contributors make a case for their own view―ranging from a traditional affirmation of divine impassibility (the idea that God does not suffer) to the position that God is necessarily and intimately affected by creation―and then each contributor responds to the others’ views. The lively but irenic discussion that takes place in this conversation demonstrates not only the diversity of opinion among Christians on this theological conundrum but also its ongoing relevance for today.

Author: Zecharia Sitchin
Narrator: Bill Parrish

The Ultimate Human Experience. The interaction between mankind and spiritual beings-of Divine Encounters-as recorded in scriptures and ancient texts provides a powerful drama that spans Heaven and Earth, involving worship and devotion, eternity and mortality, love and sex, jealousy and murder. But how much of these are based on real happenings and how much is based on myth? With a visionary’s ardor and a scientist’s attention to detail, Zecharia Sitchin gives a stunning account of human interaction with celestial travelers. He also provides further proof that prophetic dreams, visions, UFO encounters, and other extraordinary phenomena are indeed the hallmark of intervention by intergalactic emissaries who reach out from other realms to enlighten, guide, punish, and comfort us in times of need. Sitchin’s research and theories chronicle a magnificent and inspiring journey through history, from the dawn of time to the approach of the millennium.

The Divine Code The Guide to Observing the Noahide Code, Revealed from Mount Sinai in the Torah of Moses


Free Download R’ Moshe Weiner, Dr. Michael Schulman Ph.D., Laurel Tessmer, "The Divine Code: The Guide to Observing the Noahide Code, Revealed from Mount Sinai in the Torah of Moses"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1733363513 | PDF | pages: 855 | 6.8 mb
Interest in the Seven Commandments for the Children of Noah (Non-Jews) is growing, and great numbers of people around the world have committed themselves to observe these commandments. Until publication of The Divine Code (now in the Fourth Edition), a comprehensive, clear, and expertly researched guide for observance and study of these Divine precepts was lacking. The Divine Code is the result of an historic project by Ask Noah International. Originally published in Hebrew by Rabbi Moshe Weiner and endorsed by prominent Torah scholars, including two Chief Rabbis of Israel, it examines the Torah-law foundations and details of the Noahide precepts. Unique among the other books on this subject, this authoritative text is footnoted with extensively researched Talmudic and post-Talmudic sources, and supplied with additional explanations and enlightening Editor’s Notes throughout. It identifies and applies the fundamental principles by which the practical requirements for righteous living are determined for pious Non-Jews. This Fourth Edition encompasses all of the Seven Noahide Commandments and their principles and offshoots. It is the authorized translation according to Rabbi Weiner’s personal review and editing. The book contains eight parts, beginning with Fundamentals of the Faith, followed by the seven parts which provide comprehensive explanations of each of the Seven Noahide Commandments and their many offshoots. Also included are several section introductions by the renown Rabbi J. Immanuel Schochet, o.b.m., a leading Canadian rabbi and author of many popular books on Torah-based spirituality and philosophy. Additional introductions were contributed by Joe M. Regenstein, Ph.D., a leading expert on guidelines in the meat industry for improved animal welfare; Arthur A. Goldberg, J.D., author of Light in the Closet and Director of J.I.F.G.A.; Rabbi Shimon D. Cowen, Ph.D., Director of of the Institute for Judaism and Civilization, and Michael Schulman, Ph.D., editor of the book and Executive Director of Ask Noah International and Asknoah.org. It also includes an Appendix on the Pious Gentile and the Ger Toshav in Torah Law. Recommended for late teens and adults.

Poetics of Redemption Dante s Divine Comedy


Free Download Andreas Kablitz, "Poetics of Redemption: Dante s Divine Comedy"
English | ISBN: 3110634090 | 2021 | 250 pages | PDF | 1300 KB
The essays on Dante collected in this volume interpret his Commedia as the attempt of a renewal of the Christian work of salvation by means of literature. In the view of his author, the sacro poema responds to a historical moment of extreme danger, in which nothing less than the redemption of mankind is at stake. The degradation of the medieval Roman Empire and the rise of an early capitalism in his birth town Florence, entailing a pernicious moral depravation for Dante, are to him nothing else but a variety of symptoms of the backfall of the world into its state prior to its salvation by the incarnation of Christ.

God or the Divine Religious Transcendence beyond Monism and Theism, between Personality and Impersonality


Free Download Marcus Schmücker, "God or the Divine: Religious Transcendence beyond Monism and Theism, between Personality and Impersonality"
English | ISBN: 3110698161 | 2023 | 550 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 6 MB
Is there a language of transcendence which does not fall under the well-worn categories of monism, theism, pantheism, biblical or pagan monotheism, personal or tripersonal God, or an impersonal absolute, conceived as immanent and/or transcendent? The present set of studies from different fields of research centers on the question whether it is possible to speak at all of transcendence or a divinity, and if it is, under what limitations does such speech proceed. In current discussion in theology and in philosophy of religion, there is a pervasive awareness that the inherited terms and alternatives, developed in the western tradition, no longer facilitate an adequate understanding of the divine. Increasing familiarity with the languages of ‘immanence’ and ‘transcendence’ (under erasure) in Hindu and Buddhist thought has further jumbled our coordinates, while holding out the promise of a more subtle and vital engagement with the matter itself of religious inquiry. A further long-established distinction, between ‘personal’ and ‘impersonal, ‘ also takes on rich new hues in Asian contexts, where the very notion of ‘person’ may undergo unsettling critiques. Transgressing the categories of ‘personal’ and ‘impersonal’ points to the mystical depth of religious traditions, emphasizes their openness and reintegrates essential elements of both perspectives. Advancing with curiosity and caution, all the contributors take seriously the diversity of historical religious traditions, while nevertheless searching for a fresh language that may connect these traditions and provide a common ground of understanding.
