Synopsis

If true knowledge, the Gnosis, is again to form a part of Christian teachings, it can only be under the old restrictions, and the idea of levelling down to the capacities of the least developed must be definitely surrendered. Only by teaching above the grasp of the little evolved can the way be opened up for a restoration of arcane knowledge, and the study of the Lesser Mysteries must precede that of the Greater. The Greater will never be published through the printing-press; they can only be given by Teacher to pupil, "from mouth to ear." But the Lesser Mysteries, the partial unveiling of deep truths, can even now be restored, and such a volume as the present is intended to outline these, and to show the nature of the teachings which have to be mastered. Where only hints are given, quiet meditation on the truths hinted at will cause their outlines to become visible, and the clearer light obtained by continued meditation will gradually show them more fully. For meditation quiets the lower mind, ever engaged in thinking about external objects, and when the lower mind is tranquil then only can it be illuminated by the Spirit. Knowledge of spiritual truths must be thus obtained, from within and not from without, from the divine Spirit whose temple we are 4 and not from an external Teacher. These things are "spiritually discerned" by that divine indwelling Spirit, that "mind of Christ," whereof speaks the Great Apostle, 5 and that inner light is shed upon the lower mind.

    C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity is renowned for its powerful, rational defense of the Christian faith, exploring foundational truths that have guided seekers for generations. Originally delivered as legendary radio broadcasts during World War II, this timeless classic continues to shape the way we understand morality, human nature, marriage, sin, forgiveness, faith, and hope. 
     
    In Lunatic, Liar, or Lord, theologian and popular Benedictine College professor Andrew Swafford brings fresh insight to Lewis's work, making it even more engaging and relevant for today's audiences. Swafford examines Mere Christianity through the lens of Catholic teaching, revealing how Lewis's arguments naturally point to the truth found in the Church. Through this thought-provoking exploration, you’ll wrestle with life’s biggest questions, including Why should I care about God?, Are there compelling reasons to believe?, Does Catholicism best explain my experiences?, Can faith truly transform my life?, and Who is Jesus, and how can we be sure?  
    More than just an analysis, Lunatic, Liar, or Lord is an invitation to experience Catholicism in a way that speaks to both the heart and the mind. With clarity, depth, and intellectual rigor, Swafford helps you see faith through a transformative new lens―one that respects reason while nurturing belief.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. This audiobook also includes an ambient version of the narration which features background music. 
    Rudolf Steiner (February 1861 –  March 1925) was an Austrian occultist, social reformer, architect, esotericist, and claimed clairvoyant. Steiner gained initial recognition at the end of the nineteenth century as a literary critic and published works including The Philosophy of Freedom. At the beginning of the twentieth century he founded an esoteric spiritual movement, anthroposophy, with roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy. His teachings are influenced by Christian Gnosticism. In the first, more philosophically oriented phase of this movement, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and spirituality. His philosophical work of these years, which he termed "spiritual science", sought to apply what he saw as the clarity of thinking characteristic of Western philosophy to spiritual questions, differentiating this approach from what he considered to be vaguer approaches to mysticism. In a second phase, he began working collaboratively in a variety of artistic media, including drama, dance and architecture, culminating in the building of the Goetheanum, a cultural centre to house all the arts. In the third phase of his work, beginning after World War I, Steiner worked on various ostensibly applied projects, including Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, and anthroposophical medicine. Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach. He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view in which "thinking…is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas." A consistent thread that runs through his work is the goal of demonstrating that there are no limits to human knowledge.

    What does the Bible say about “wars”? How can the classic literature of centuries ago impact today's (and tomorrow’s) tactics and strategies? Which technologies are predicted in the Bible? Which ones have yet to be witnessed? In what ways have the economies of scale in violence been reversed? What is the threat assessment and risk analysis pending today? In what ways can a country be regarded as a “one-bomb target”? What are the likely implications of trans-humanism in the quests for the “Super-Soldier”? How could electromagnetic pulses emerge to become the “Great Equalizer”? Where is the safest place to be. Dr. Chuck Missler, an honor graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, with an international background including three decade’s experience in the board rooms of the defense industry, reviews the major Biblical references to warfare, the trends in modern weapons technology, and some of the current preparations for war among the major powers.
