Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II. THE EVIDENCES OF DIVINE REVELATION. We have in our hands a book that professes to be a revelation of truth and duty given by God to his intelligent and sinful creatures-- a book whose last page has been written about eighteen hundred years--a book that has been transcribed by numberless pens, translated into many languages, scrutinized by the scholar, and loved and reverenced by millions; and we must devote a short chapter to a consideration of the evidences by which this particular record is commended to our faith. I. Is thqre any reason for perplexity among the numerous pretended revelations that are found amongst men? Infidels have always been accustomed to say much concerning false religions, in order to throw discredit upon the true one. They have argued thus: "Every nation in the world pretends to a revealed religion. Each community has its own, which boasts its irresistible proofs, its miracles, its prophets. To believe them all is impossible, since they contradict and anathematize each other; and to discriminate between them is equally impossible, for were there a true revelation it would be vain to attempt the discovery of it in the midst of so much confusion." Now let it be observed, that, how numerous soever the religions may be which falsely boast their Divine origin, this is no proof that a true revelation does not somewhere exist. On the contrary, so many groundless pretensions are an evidence that a just claim does somewhere exist. No one would have made counterfeit money, had not the true coin first existed; and charlatans in medicine only exert their influence over the minds of people, because there are physicians and real remedies. So if God had not spoken to man, what Rousseau calls '.' the fantasy of...

T&T Clark Handbook of Christian Theology and Climate Change
Author:
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567675173
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 728
Book Description
The T&T Clark Handbook of Christian Theology and Climate Change entails a wide-ranging conversation between Christian theology and various other discourses on climate change. Given the far-reaching complicity of "North Atlantic Christianity" in anthropogenic climate change, the question is whether it can still collaborate with and contribute to ongoing mitigation and adaptation efforts. The main essays in this volume are written by leading scholars from within North Atlantic Christianity and addressed primarily to readers in the same context; these essays are critically engaged by respondents situated in other geographic regions, minority communities, non-Christian traditions, or non-theological disciplines. Structured in seven main parts, the handbook explores: 1) the need for collaboration with disciplines outside of Christian theology to address climate change; 2) the need to find common moral ground for such collaboration; 3) the difficulties posed by collaborating with other Christian traditions from within; 4) the questions that emerge from such collaboration for understanding the story of God's work; and 5) God's identity and character; 6) the implications of such collaboration for ecclesial praxis; and 7) concluding reflections examining whether this volume does justice to issues of race, gender, class, other animals, religious diversity, geographical divides and carbon mitigation. This rich ecumenical, cross-cultural conversation provides a comprehensive and in-depth engagement with the theological and moral challenges raised by anthropogenic climate change.
