Colby Dickinson proposes a new political theology rooted in the
intersections between continental philosophy, heterodox theology,
and orthodox theology. Moving beyond the idea that there is an
irresolvable tension at the heart of theological discourse, the
conflict between the two poles of theology is made intelligible.
Dickinson discusses the opposing poles simply as manifestations of
reform and revolution, characteristics intrinsic to the nature of
theological discourse itself. Outlining the illuminating space of
theology, Theological Poverty in Continental Philosophy breaks new
ground for critical theology and continental philosophy. Within the
theology of poverty, the believer renounces the worldly for the
divine. Through this focus on the poverty intrinsic to religious
calling, the potential for cross-pollination between the
theological and the secular is highlighted. Ultimately situating
the virtue of theological poverty within a poststructuralist,
postmodern world, Dickinson is not content to position Christian
philosophy as the superior theological position, moving away from
the absolute values of one tradition over another. This
universalising of theological poverty through core and uniting
concepts like grace, negation, violence and paradox reveal the
theory’s transmutable strength. By joining up critical theology
and the philosophy of religion in this way, the book broadens the
possibility of a critical dialogue both between and within
disciplines.
This volume approaches the Word of Faith as a worldview, and
analyses the movement through N. T. Wright's model for
worldview-analysis in order to provide necessary nuance and
complexity to scholarly interpretations of the Word of Faith. The
reader receives insights into the movement's narrative, semiotic,
practical and propositional dimensions, which cumulatively offer a
multifaceted understanding of how the Word of Faith interprets
reality and engages with the world. The analysis shows that there
is a narrative core to Word of Faith beliefs in the form of a
unique theological story with focus set on the present restoration
of Eden's authority and blessings. This study demonstrates how the
Word of Faith operates as a distinct worldview that parses the
world through the lens of faith's causative power to affect a
direct correspondence between present reality and Eden's
perfection. The findings advance a critical and therapeutic
approach that acknowledges how the worldview both strengthens and
subverts Pentecostalism.
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.
