Physico-theology - Demonstration of the being and attributes of God from His works of creation

W. Derham

Beschreibung

In "Physico-theology," W. Derham presents an engaging synthesis of natural philosophy and theology, articulating the argument for divine design evident in the natural world. The book employs a didactic and accessible literary style, using clear prose paired with compelling examples from nature to demonstrate the harmony between science and faith during the early 18th century. Derham meticulously examines various aspects of the physical universe, including astronomy and biology, to illustrate the complexities of creation, ultimately elevating the discourse on the relationship between God and the cosmos within the burgeoning context of Enlightenment thought. W. Derham, an influential clergyman and scientist, was deeply interested in the interplay of faith and reason. His background in natural philosophy and his commitment to the Anglican Church heavily influenced his work in "Physico-theology." Living in a time when scientific exploration was paving new pathways for understanding the universe, Derham sought to reconcile traditional beliefs with emerging scientific knowledge, arguing compellingly for the existence and wisdom of God through the study of nature. For readers intrigued by the Enlightenment's impact on theology and the natural sciences, "Physico-theology" is an essential text that bridges these worlds. It appeals not only to scholars and theologians but also to any reader curious about the foundational ideas that shaped modern thought on the divine and the material universe.

Healing Racial Trauma - The Road...

Sheila Wise Rowe

Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award - Multicultural
Christianity Today  Book Award - Christian Living/Discipleship Award
Publishers Weekly starred review
"People of color have endured traumatic histories and almost daily assaults on our dignity. We have prayed about racism, been in denial, or acted out in anger, but we have not known how to individually or collectively pursue healing from the racial trauma."
As a child, Sheila Wise Rowe was bused across town to a majority white school, where she experienced the racist lie that one group is superior to all others. This lie continues to be perpetuated today by the action or inaction of the government, media, viral videos, churches, and within families of origin. In contrast, Scripture declares that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made.
Rowe, a professional counselor, exposes the symptoms of racial trauma to lead readers to a place of freedom from the past and new life for the future. In each chapter, she includes an interview with a person of color to explore how we experience and resolve racial trauma. With Rowe as a reliable guide who has both been on the journey and shown others the way forward, you will find a safe pathway to resilience.

The Arab Spring - Escalations...

Fredrich Hazelton

The Arab Springs stands as one of the most transformative events of the 21st century, reshaping the political and social landscapes of the Middle East and North Africa. Triggered in December 2010 by the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, the movement quickly spread across the region, igniting a wave of protests, uprisings, and revolutions. These events brought to the forefront the widespread grievances of millions—grievances rooted in authoritarian governance, economic stagnation, and social inequalities that had long plagued the Arab world.  
  
At its core, the Arab Springs was a collective demand for dignity, freedom, and justice. It represented a breaking point for societies that had endured decades of political repression and corruption. While each country experienced the uprisings differently, common threads emerged: youthful populations yearning for change, the powerful role of social media in organizing protests, and a shared sense of solidarity among citizens who saw an opportunity to challenge entrenched regimes.  
  
The revolutions also revealed deep-seated structural issues within the region. Economic hardship, unemployment, and a lack of political freedoms were not new problems, but the Arab Springs forced governments and the international community to confront these issues in an unprecedented way. Moreover, the movement challenged the perception of Arab societies as passive or unchangeable, showcasing the determination and resilience of ordinary people striving for their rights.

The Appearances of the Risen Christ

PhD Arthur X. Deegan ll

The author discusses in detail each of the recorded appearances of Jesus to His followers after His resurrection, based on the text of the New Testament. He also argues that there was a special (unrecorded) appearance to the blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. The intent is to help the reader to see in these passages what the reader never saw before. Each appearance is followed by a conversation with Jesus, in the belief that there is no better way to develop a deeper personal relationship with anyone that intense one-on-one conversations.
