In this magisterial volume Charles E. Curran surveys the historical development of Catholic moral theology in the United States from its 19th century roots to the present day.

The controversy grows with every sale of the best-selling novel.

The book“UNIDENTIFIED DEMONIC PHENOMENA (UDPs)” sets out a Christian, Christ-centered framework for thinking about UAP reports without collapsing into either gullibility or reflexive scoffing. It opens by insisting on clear presuppositions and then treats “UAP” as a broad catch-all category that naturally produces multiple interpretive “schools,” many of which can overlap because the dataset itself is mixed—ranging from ordinary objects and misperceptions to unresolved incidents that remain unresolved largely because the data are thin. It then lays out the main interpretive ...

CONFESIONES REFORMADAS DE LOS SIGLOS 16 Y 17- VOLUMEN 2: 1549-1560 Lejos de la percepción común, la tradición reformada no tiene su fundamento en un único teólogo o documento confesional; más bien, su base reside en una serie de documentos fundacionales creados por la iglesia durante los siglos 16 y 17, testificando la unidad y la diversidad inherentes en esta tradición. Esta recopilación de documentos confesionales nos ofrece la oportunidad de ver la unidad teológica profunda que se manifestaba en el protestantismo durante los primeros siglos de su existencia. Pero, al mismo ...

This book argues that Paul’s phrase “the elemental spirits of the world” (ta stoicheia tou kosmou) in Colossians and Galatians refers to a blend of hostile spiritual powers and the basic religious “ABC’s”—rules, rituals, and philosophies—through which those powers enslave people before Christ. 1. What stoicheia meant in the ancient world In classical Greek, stoicheia usually means elements or building blocks: letters of the alphabet, basic principles, or the four elements (earth, air, fire, water). In Jewish and Greco-Roman thought, these “elements” and the stars could ...

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament … (Revelation 11:19) The Ark of the Covenant, along with the Mercy Seat positioned atop it, is the most mysterious of the furniture items within the Tabernacle of Moses. This is especially true in regards to the cherubim that were mounted on the two ends of the Mercy Seat. There is also the matter of the Arks contents and its ministry on the annual Day of Atonement. In this 6th addition to The Tabernacle Series, Isaac B. Dargan takes on the task of explaining the spiritual implications ...

Questions and answers about religious rituals, belief in deities, Christianity, the harm done by religion, peaceful religions of the world, witch burning, slavery, the Bible and its evolution and corruption, the Ten Commandments (and why they are mostly immoral), Jesus, Christmas and theology.

Only its author could do that, as we see in Michael Paulkovich's Mostly Harmful: 1001 Things Everyone Should Know about Religion. This is a wonderfully readable ...

When you consider the aspects of Christianity that differentiate it from other religions, one of its most distinguishing characteristics is certainly the notion of a "triune God." This concept has been the bedrock of Christian orthodoxy for almost two millennia, and even today remains the standard by which everything claiming to be Christian is measured. Indeed, in many respects the Trinity has actually become Christianity’s defining doctrine. In addition to its singular importance, though, the Trinity is also one of the most enigmatic doctrines of the Christian faith. For even though ...

“1832: The Great Baptist Separation—From Local Churches to the Benevolent Empire,” argues that the Old School–New School conflict was not a polite intramural quarrel but a nationwide re-wiring of Baptist life—a rolling series of fractures (late 1820s → 1830s → into the 1840s) driven by whether churches would submit to a new institutional “benevolent empire” (boards, societies, Sunday schools, seminaries, press) or reject it as extra-scriptural machinery that displaced the local church and the Spirit’s direct work. The paper does three big things: Defines the camps and ...
