Jakob Böhme

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The Signature of All Things," Jakob Böhme crafts a profound metaphysical treatise that explores the interconnectedness of nature, the divine, and human existence. Böhme employs a mystical style, weaving intricate symbolism and allegory into an accessible narrative that engages with contemporary philosophical and theological debates. Rooted in the early 17th century, the text reflects the burgeoning interest in science and mysticism, blending insights from alchemical traditions and Christian theology to articulate a worldview that underscores the presence of a divine signature within all creation. Jakob Böhme, a prominent mystic and philosopher, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his time, as well as his own encounters with the divine. His experiences as a shoemaker in Görlitz allowed him to engage with the natural world intimately, which clearly shaped his thoughts on the relationship between humanity, nature, and the divine. Böhme's unique perspective emerged from a range of influences, including Neoplatonism and Lutheran thought, positioning him as a key figure in both mysticism and the development of modern philosophy. This seminal work is highly recommended for those seeking to delve into the spiritual dimensions of nature and existence. Readers interested in philosophy, theology, and mysticism will find Böhme's exploration enriching, as it offers profound insights that resonate with contemporary questions about the unity of life and the nature of the divine.

The Emotionally Abusive Parent -...

Anne Dryburgh

Certified biblical counselor and long-term missionary Dr. Anne Dryburgh describes in biblical terms what secularists refer to as 'emotional abuse'. From her long experience she explains how an abusive parent relates to a child, and the impact on the child. Her book will assist you in discovering how you can live out the profound truth that in Christ you have everything, including everything for dealing with your childhood experiences.
How this book can help you
The aim of this book is to help you realize that if you have suffered parental emotional abuse, you can live in the truth that in Christ you have everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 1:3). In Christ you have everything, including everything for dealing with your childhood experiences. That sounds crazy when you think of the suffering you may have endured as you were growing up. It also sounds crazy when the lasting effects clearly impacted who you are, but this book will help you discover how you can live out this profound truth. We will learn what secularists refer to as emotional abuse, how to understand it biblically, what it looks like in how a parent relates to a child, and at the impact on the child. As we look at these effects, we will also look at what is true about being in Christ and how you can live on the basis of who you are in him. We will also meet Laura in several of the chapters, hear about what she suffered, and how she learned to see who she is in Christ and deal graciously with her parent.
What this book is not
Since this is a short book not every question concerning parental emotional abuse could possibly be addressed. It cannot cover every practical issue you may be facing, nor does it present all the Bible teaches on the subject since that would take a much longer book.
