What explains the existence of the world and our place in it? Is there a primal cause beyond our comprehension because our intelligence is part of the very world we seek to understand? The author asserts that such a cause exists and identifies it as what ancient Indian thinkers termed the End of Knowledge. Far from simply reporting this concept, the author develops profound insights through inspired discussions, leading to two kinds of startling conclusions. First, these insights offer a new, deeper understanding of our own nature.

How should the church relate to the world? Nearly everyone agrees that the church should be making this world better, but we keep clashing about how to do so. We all want God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven, but deep disagreements about how to get there keep fracturing Christ’s body and tainting our testimony. Jesus was right: our witness to the world depends on our unity and our love for one another. In recent years, we've been failing at both. Political partisanship and constant infighting have wounded the vulnerable and driven countless people from the pews.

In un tempo in cui la tecnologia domina le nostre vite e spesso ci allontana da ciò che conta davvero, la storia di Carlo Acutis appare come una luce semplice ma potente. Non è la storia di un eroe irraggiungibile, ma di un ragazzo normale che ha scelto di vivere in modo straordinario. La sua esistenza terrena fu breve, durò solo quindici anni, dal 1991 al 2006. Eppure in quel lasso di tempo apparentemente minuscolo, Carlo riuscì a condensare un insegnamento capace di attraversare i decenni e di parlare con straordinaria chiarezza alle nuove generazioni. Non parlava un linguaggio ...

What if Jesus Himself walked you through the most misunderstood book in the Bible — and showed you it was never about the end of the world, but the unveiling of His face? After the manger. After the miracles. After the cross. There is a throne — and a Lamb standing in the center of it as though He had been slain, holding a scroll that no one in heaven or earth could open. Until He did. In Revelation with Jesus, the final book of Scripture is retold through the voice of Christ — the Alpha and Omega who dictated the vision, who walks among the seven lampstands, and who rides out of an ...

Uma investigação das relações entre as igrejas neopentecostais e o varejo de drogas e o crescimento do racismo religioso. Em A culpa é do diabo: O que li, vivi e senti nas encruzilhadas a pesquisadora Carolina Rocha investiga a complexidade das relações estabelecidas, em termos de disputas político-religiosas, entre neopentecostalismo, varejo de drogas ilícitas e religiosidades afro-brasileiras em algumas das favelas do Rio de Janeiro.

For centuries, the Crusades have been portrayed as the ultimate symbol of unprovoked Christian violence, religious fanaticism, and imperial greed. But that story begins far too late—and hides far too much. The Christian Crusades restores the missing history. Long before Pope Urban II called the First Crusade in 1095, the Christian world had already endured more than four centuries of Islamic conquest, church destruction, legal humiliation, forced pressure, heavy taxation, and relentless military aggression. Ancient Christian heartlands in Syria, Palestine, Egypt, North Africa, and beyond ...

Homily Fifty-Six "On the Holy and Dread Mysteries of Christ". Delivered Four Days Before Christmas.

O ataque terrorista cometido contra israelenses no dia 7 de outubro de 2023 entrou para a história como o pior ato de violência contra os judeus desde o Holocausto. No dia seguinte, em vez de condenação total do ato, o mundo testemunhou uma prova da desordem moral do Ocidente no século XXI: nas universidades, nas ruas e na imprensa, as pessoas tomaram partido não dos judeus, mas de seus assassinos. Como isso aconteceu? Por que tantos membros das elites educadas deram de ombros diante do pior pogrom antissemita em quase 80 anos? Por que “antifascistas” se aproximaram dos fascistas do Hamas?

As the adopted son of two cult leaders, Benjamin Risha was raised to someday assume a place of leadership in the Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation with the Bible, and his parents’ interpretation of it, as his guide. He believed the prophecies of his adoptive mother and father. However, when none of it happened, and the foundation slid from bucolic communal lifestyle to insufferable criminality that included absolute obedience to the Alamos, Benjamin knew he had to escape.

A Translation of the Good News of Jesus for Everyone If the Bible cannot be understood by everyone, then it is not good news. But from the very first days of the church at Pentecost, the good news of Jesus was translated into languages of everyday people through the power of the Holy Spirit...

At a time when men and women were prepared to kill - and be killed - for their faith, the Protestant Reformation tore the Western world apart. Acclaimed as the definitive account of these epochal events, Diarmaid MacCulloch's award-winning history brilliantly recreates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars, and politicians - from the zealous Martin Luther and his 95 Theses to the polemical John Calvin to the radical Igantius Loyola, from the tortured Thomas Cranmer to the ambitious Philip II.
