  The Way of Heaven and Earth -...

  A crisis of polarization more and more threatens the future of civilization. Whether it’s philosophy, theology, politics, or culture, we find ourselves falling into stark either/or dilemmas: Religion or science? Conservative or liberal? Faith or works? We can’t help but choose one idea at the expense of the other, falling into zero-sum games, mutual extremes, and the endless division of human life.   In The Way of Heaven and Earth, Matthew Becklo offers a way of interpreting this crisis: Christ and “the Catholic both/and.” Framing our greatest dilemmas as “heaven-earth dilemmas”—choices between God or man, God’s place or man’s place, the spiritual or the physical, or the spirit or the flesh—Becklo shows that our greatest hope for overcoming our divisions is in Christ, who is “the Way of heaven and earth,” and the Catholic Church, which is the fullness of the Way.   With the help of Scripture, Catholic teaching, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and various philosophers, theologians, and artists, The Way of Heaven and Earth finds new hope in this forgotten Way, which calls us into the paradoxes of the human journey.

  Summary and Expansion: Escaping...

  Rather than the original text, this is a summary and expansion book--a form of efficiency that expands on Paul's topics. It is not meant to replace Paul's fine book. 
  Current Christian theologists turn to Genesis to tell the Faithful that a single all-powerful God, although judgmental, temperamental, and sometimes ruthless, created the universe. They lecture us about the sins of Adam and Eve and the origins of Humans. 
  Paul Wallis, an experienced clergyman, lecturer, and author, took a close look at the book of Genesis when he was laid flat on his back from an injury and could not preach for a while. 
  He came across such anomalies and contradictions that he concluded that was not reading the original versions of the famous stories. 
  His first task: Find the original narratives and clarify their suggestions about where we came from, who we came from, and who we are. 
  Playing explorer, resercher, clergyman, and detective, Paul Wallis in Escaping from Eden undercovers mindboggling secrets about Biblical texts. Their implications demand a rethinking of the Abrahamic religions and a new openness to alien contact, influence, and even creation. His conclusions will be as controversial as they are informative and as broad-scoped as the challenge to entire belief systems. It turns out that DNA likely originated off-planet by advanced alien genetic engineers and came here through space over four billion years ago. That civilization may be our “makers” and might have paid us a few, or many, visits to tweak us in the direction that they wanted. It looks like they encountered some competition along the way. 
  With such a book by Wallis, the entire universe and the origins of Humans come into an improved—but unsettling-- scientific and spiritual focus.

  HOLY BIBLE - 1 KINGS: NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today’s English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT’s living language breathes life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages—but even more powerful are stories of how people’s lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts.  The New Living Translation is perfect for every age and stage of life, allowing every member of the family to read the same text.   What method did the translators use in making the NLT?  The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English. As they did so, they translated as simply and literally as possible when that approach yielded an accurate, clear, and natural English text. Many words and phrases were rendered literally and consistently into English, preserving essential literary and rhetorical devices, ancient metaphors, and word choices that give structure to the text and provide echoes of meaning from one passage to the next.  On the other hand, the translators rendered the message more dynamically when the literal rendering was hard to understand, was misleading, or yielded archaic or foreign wording. They clarified difficult metaphors and terms to aid in the reader’s understanding. The translators first struggled with the meaning of the words and phrases in the ancient context; then they rendered the message into clear, natural English. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful. More than 90 Bible scholars, along with a group of accomplished English stylists, worked closely together toward that goal. In the end, the NLT is the result of precise scholarship conveyed in living, contemporary language.
