The story of Jesus is well-known worldwide. But have you ever
wondered if it is the true and complete story of the Savior? Could
there be more to the Son of God?Author Audrey Carr addresses those
questions in The Greatest Story Never Told: An Advanced
Understanding of Christianity. She not only presents the real story
of Jesus, in which he did not die on the cross, but also includes
his unitary gospel of "oneness with God" that traditional
Christianity has missed. Quoting from highly documented, scholarly
works, this story of Jesus incorporates Judaism, Christianity,
Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. With details and maps of his many
years in India, Carr provides a photograph of his real tomb in
Kashmir. Carr also offers information about meditation techniques
he practiced, for Jesus was not a Christian but a Hindu-Buddha "The
Kingdom of Heaven" was his term for Enlightened
Consciousness.Unlike other scholarly books, The Greatest Story
Never Told is intended for the everyday person. Readers will come
away with a new, meaningful, life-changing understanding of Jesus
and his teachings. Carr seeks to destroy what is false and
resuscitate the real truth, beyond all myths, and she reveals the
connections between major religions. Spiritually uplifting and
challenging, The Greatest Story Never Told is for anyone who is
ready for an advanced understanding of Jesus and all the other
God-men of the ages who have realized their divine identity.
Fifty-Two Weeks with God is composed of fifty-two meditations on
God, God's creation, and men and women who gave their lives for
others. The book begins with New Year, the time we think of what we
have done before and repent and resolve to correct ourselves. We
sit in awe at God's magnificent creation and what He has done for
us. We meditate on the lives of others who felt the call to follow
Christ and care for those in need. We meditate on the innocent
children whose characters and beliefs we mold as we care for them
by word and deed. We meditate on the spirit of God, the spirit of
love and truth. We meditate on God's promise for us to be with him
in the warmth of his love for eternity if we follow His example and
teaching.
"Whatever is true, whatever is good, whatever is honorable,
whatever is of good report. Whatever is lovely, whatever is pure;
think on these things (Philippians 4:8)."
What is religion? Where does it come from? Which religion best fits
our needs? Mankind has always been curious to discover what's
beyond the visible. From the moment that confusion surrounded the
existence and the true identity of God, new sciences developed, and
many philosophers fell into question. Many more questions have
followed ever since.In Beyond the Visible: Uniting Science and
Religion, author Issa Gammoh ponders some of these age-old
questions, considering whether there is a universally true answer.
In the twenty-first century, with humanity's advanced knowledge and
ways of thinking, science is getting closer to resolving many of
the questions that have been confounding humanity for centuries.
The discovery of the Higgs field, the derivation of the famous
equation E=mc2, a better psychological understanding of ourselves,
and our developing knowledge about neurology--all of these and much
more provide us with guidance. One way of thinking can link all of
these concepts together to reach scientific answers about many
unknowns that humanity has pursued for many generations.Beyond the
Visible travels a path of discovery to find the link between many
unknown phenomena and theories. This journey seeks to erase your
confusion with what will be the scientific evidences of invisible
randomness. Expand your consciousness and understanding about life
and the world in which you are living.
Experimental philosophy has blossomed into a variety of
philosophical fields including ethics, epistemology, metaphysics
and philosophy of language. But there has been very little
experimental philosophical research in the domain of philosophy of
religion. Advances in Religion, Cognitive Science, and Experimental
Philosophy demonstrates how cognitive science of religion has the
methodological and conceptual resources to become a form of
experimental philosophy of religion. Addressing a wide variety of
empirical claims that are of interest to philosophers and
psychologists of religion, a team of psychologists and philosophers
apply data from the psychology of religion to important problems in
the philosophy of religion including the psychology of religious
diversity; the psychology of substance dualism; the problem of evil
and the relation between religious belief and empathy; and the
cognitive science explaining the formation of intuitions that
unwittingly guide philosophers of religion when formulating
arguments. Bringing together authors and researchers who have made
important contributions to interdisciplinary research on religion
in the last decade, Advances in Religion, Cognitive Science, and
Experimental Philosophy provides new ways of approaching core
philosophical and psychological problems.
This interdisciplinary study introduces readers to Friedrich
Schleiermacher's diverse pathways of reflection and creative
practice that are related to the field of translation. By drawing
attention to Schleiermacher's various writings on a range of
subjects (including philology, criticism, hermeneutics, dialectics,
rhetoric and religion), the author makes it clear that the
frequently cited lecture UEber die verschiedenen Methoden des
UEbersetzens (On the Different Methods of Translating) represents
but a fraction of Schleiermacher's contributions to modern-day
insights into translation. The analysis of Schleiermacher's various
pathways of reflection on translation presented in this book leads
to the conclusion that translation is part of the essence of the
world, as it is a fundamental tool of our cognition and a
foundation of our existence. In Schleiermacher's works, transfer,
translation, mediation, and communication underpin our very
existence in the world and our self-awareness. At the same time,
they represent fundamental categories for a project that focuses on
the consolidation and assimilation - through translation - of that
which is foreign, different, diverse.
