Knowing God as an Evangelical Towards a Canonical-Epistemological Model


Free Download Dan-Adrian Petre, "Knowing God as an Evangelical: Towards a Canonical-Epistemological Model"
English | ISBN: 3031265556 | 2023 | 314 pages | PDF | 10 MB
In the present polyphony of evangelical theological epistemology, there are several authoritative approaches. Yet, the evangelical emphasis on sola scriptura demands that theological epistemology be subjected to the biblical canon. In this book, Dan-Adrian Petre argues for a canonically-derived theological epistemological framework that may foster a fuller understanding of theological knowledge formation within evangelicalism. Specifically, he explores some representative evangelical voices to identify the reasons for the contemporary epistemological variance. Petre then uses a canonical-epistemological methodology to outline a biblically-based framework. In exploring how the Scripture conceptualizes the formation of theological knowledge, the book uses cognitive linguistics to grasp the conceptual meaning of the theological knowledge formation in the Bible using prototypical case studies. The resulting epistemological implications outline a minimal epistemological model derived from the biblical canon. Using this vantage point, the author assesses the contemporary evangelical epistemological dissonance as a means of indicating a way forward for a canonical-epistemological attunement.

Eckhart’s Apophatictheology Knowing the Unknowable God


Free Download Vladimir Lossky, "Eckhart’s Apophatictheology: Knowing the Unknowable God"
English | ISBN: 0227179773 | 2024 | 540 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 5 MB
Vladimir Lossky’s posthumously published masterwork is now made available in English for the first time. Eckhart’s Apophatic Theology is the culmination of a long process, whereby the renowned Orthodox philosopher and theologian embraced the ways of thinking of a thirteenth-century German mendicant and mystic. While refusing to simplify Eckhart’s theology to a system or single motif, Lossky explores in detail the various ramifications of Eckhart’s insistence on the ineffability of God. Is God to be regarded as ‘being’, or the ‘One’, or ‘Intellect’? Does God’s pure expression of each of these preclude the others? Framed by six key statements about God’s essence, Lossky lays out Eckhart’s approach to this dilemma. His understanding of the problem, guided by careful engagement with a multitude of sources, is exhaustive. Scholars will welcome this eagerly-anticipated translation.

This book is by best-selling author, Josh McDowell. This is an incisive look at popular culture and American values in the light of 9-11. The tragedy of September 11 directly challenges post-modernism and commonly held popular views of relativism. In a culture that eschews moralism, 9-11 forces people to take sides and confronts them face to face with unspeakable evil. Some things really are immoral. A well-known apologist for the Christian faith, McDowell calls people to acknowledge and step up to the moral war that is being waged. Knowing Good from Evil is a thought-provoking book designed to challenge the very foundations of how you live.
