For thousands of years, the Jewish people have endured many
atrocities. Some may wonder why the Jewish people have been
subjected to this treatment instead of those from other races. In
The Sacrificial Lamb, author Joey Kiser explains that God has not
forsaken Jewish followers, but instead has named them His chosen
people.
Using historical biblical examples, Kiser shares his experience
and ideas about the history of the Jewish people and his ideas
about Islam and the Christian faith. "The Sacrificial Lamb" shows
why the Jewish people were chosen to be sacrificed so the world
would not perish-a sacrifice to ward off the Devil's plan to
destroy mankind.
"The Sacrificial Lamb" illustrates that now is the time to
understand-a time to open the minds and hearts of all of mankind so
the truth will lead us all to a better place to create a new world
full of love and people caring for one another. It makes way for a
world ready for kindness, joy, and understanding so we can live in
peace for a thousand years.
This work offers an exploration of the formation of the conception
of 'catastrophic messianism' in the Gabriel Revelation. It features
the first discussion of the recently discovered text "The Gabriel
Revelation" - an apocalyptic text written on stone at the turn of
the Common Era. This tablet provides revolutionary paths to the
understanding of the historical Jesus and the birth of
Christianity. It explores the formation of the conception of
'catastrophic messianism' in the Gabriel Revelation. According to
this conception, the death of a messianic leader and his
resurrection by the angel Gabriel after three days is an essential
part of the redemptive process. This conception is a new key which
enables us for the first time to understand the messianic vision of
the historical Jesus.This important and fascinating book will thus
shed new and revolutionary light on our basic view of Christianity.
The Robert and Arlene Kogod Library of Judaic Studies publishes new
research which provides new directions for modern Jewish thought
and life and which serves to enhance the quality of dialogue
between classical sources and the modern world. This book series
reflects the mission of the Shalom Hartman Institute, a pluralistic
research and leadership institute, at the forefront of Jewish
thought and education. It empowers scholars, rabbis, educators and
layleaders to develop new and diverse voices within the tradition,
laying foundations for the future of Jewish life in Israel and
around the world.
While for the largest part of its history humankind has experienced
its daily life in the 'here and now' in terms of a more
fundamental, transcendent realm, a significant group of Westerners,
in contrast, is living life without any reference to such a
transcendent realm. From a Christian perspective, this situation is
complicated by the fact that this loss of transcendence occurred in
the Christian West. This raises the question of the relation
between Christianity and secularization.How did the idea of the
"Death of God" come about, where were its origins? Frederiek
Depoortere presents a fascinating investigation into the history of
the concept of God through Greek philosophy, Mediaeval theology,
the Reformation to Early Modern philosophy. He proves that the
roots of modern secularism can be traced back to the epistemology
of the first metaphysicians of Greek philosophy and the Christian
theologians, who developed their concepts further.
The ongoing debates on the present state and the future of the
Roman Catholic worship are not confined to specialists, but are
clearly of interest to a wider public, as the responses to the
Sacra Liturgia UK conference, held in London in July 2016, have
shown. This volume contains the proceedings of the conference and
raises the question of how to bring to fruition the insights and
instructions of the Second Vatican Council and its key document on
the liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, in the life of the Church
today. The initial contribution from Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect
of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, calls
for a fuller implementation of Sacrosanctum Concilium. Following on
from this other leading figures and liturgical scholars, such as
Joris Geldhof, David Fagerberg and Alcuin Reid, examine Catholic
worship from a variety of perspectives, including historical,
pastoral, social, cultural and artistic themes. Taken together,
these chapters present another crucial step along the route of
authentic liturgical renewal in the contemporary world.
Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary
conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from
extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the
resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting
industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land.
While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the
concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis’
encyclical Laudato Si’. The first three sections of the book
focus on the social and ecological challenges facing minoritized
women and their communities that are related to mining, pollutants
and biodiversity loss, and toxicity. The final section of the book
focuses on the possibilities and obstacles to global solidarity.
All chapters offer a cross disciplinary response to a particular
local situation, tracing the ways ecological destruction, resulting
from extraction and toxic contamination, affects the lives of women
and their communities. The book pays careful attention to the
political, economic, and legal structures facilitating these
life-threatening challenges. Each section concludes with a response
from a ‘practitioner’ in the field, representing an ecclesial
organization or NGO focused on eco-justice advocacy in the global
South, or minority communities in the global North.
In this book, Heather Walton explores the significance of women
poststructuralist theorists for feminist reading practices in
theology. She interrogates the crucial role that literature has
played in the development of feminist theology and breaks new
ground in linking the study of literary texts and theory to
creative writing. This raises important epistemological questions
concerning the use of the imagination in theological thinking and
introduces 'reflexive theology' as a discipline and practice.

The endeavour to prove God's existence through rational
argumentation was an integral part of classical Islamic theology
(kalam) and philosophy (falsafa), thus the frequently articulated
assumption in the academic literature. The Islamic discourse in
question is then often compared to the discourse on arguments for
God's existence in the western tradition, not only in terms of its
objectives but also in terms of the arguments used: Islamic
thinkers, too, put forward arguments that have been labelled as
cosmological, teleological, and ontological. This book, however,
argues that arguments for God's existence are absent from the
theological and philosophical works of the classical Islamic era.
This is not to say that the arguments encountered there are flawed
arguments for God's existence. Rather, it means that the arguments
under consideration serve a different purpose than to prove that
God exists. Through a close reading of the works of several
mutakallimun and falasifa from the 3rd-7th/9th-13th century, such
as al-Baqillani and Fakhr al-Din al-Razi as well as Ibn Sina and
Ibn Rushd, this book proffers a re-evaluation of the discourse in
question, and it suggests what its participants sought to prove if
it is not that God exists.
