Because what you believe is important... Frank Moore returns with
another helping of theological jargon made simple in More Coffee
Shop Theology . Bringing tough doctrinal concepts to an
understandable level for the average person, this second volume
tackles topics including prevenient grace, saving faith,
regeneration, predestination, baptism, tribulation, millennial
views, eternity and more. Life's complexities can take on the
simplicity God intended when discussing theology as if enjoying a
cup of coffee in a local cafe. Your understanding of theology 'the
study of God' becomes clearer through a 'grass-roots' approach.
More Coffee Shop Theology and the initial offering, Coffee Shop
Theology, provide basic, applicable instruction to assist you in
defining what you believe. Topics discussed in Coffee Shop Theology
include: the existence of God, the Trinity, Providence, Authority
of Scripture, Human Nature, Original Sin, Systemic Evil, the Deity
and Humanity of Christ and more.
This collection provides the first in-depth introduction to the
theory of the religious imagination put forward by renowned
philosopher Douglas Hedley, from his earliest essays to his
principal writings. Featuring Hedley's inaugural lecture delivered
at Cambridge University in 2018, the book sheds light on his robust
concept of religious imagination as the chief power of the soul's
knowledge of the Divine and reveals its importance in contemporary
metaphysics, ethics and politics. Chapters trace the development of
the religious imagination in Christian Platonism from Late
Antiquity to British Romanticism, drawing on Origen, Henry More and
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, before providing a survey of alternative
contemporary versions of the concept as outlined by Karl Rahner,
Rene Girard and William P. Alston, as well as within Indian
philosophy. By bringing Christian Platonist thought into dialogue
with contemporary philosophy and theology, the volume
systematically reveals the relevance of Hedley's work to current
debates in religious epistemology and metaphysics. It offers a
comprehensive appraisal of the historical contribution of
imagination to religious understanding and, as such, will be of
great interest to philosophers, theologians and historians alike.
