Wide-ranging and astutely argued, Talmud and Philosophy examines the intersections, partitions, and mutual illuminations and problematizations of Western philosophy and the Talmud. Among many philosophers, the Talmud has been at best an idealized and remote object and, at worse, if noticed at all, an object of curiosity. The contributors to this volume collectively turn on and probe a new mode of inquiry by approaching the very question of partitions, conjunctions, and disjunctions between the Talmud and philosophy as the guiding question of their inquiry. Rather than using the Talmud and its modes of argumentation to develop existing philosophical themes, these essays probe the question of how the Talmud as an intellectual discipline sheds new light on the unfolding of philosophy in the history of thought.

Sacramental conversion is a false gospel which is ubiquitous in the Catholic, Lutheran, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental, Greek, Episcopalian, Anglican churches and more. The apostle Paul is erroneously proof-texted and caricatured as teaching conversion, regeneration, and salvation by sacraments while Biblical consideration of his pre-conversion life as a ritualistic Jewish Pharisee is neglected. This book will explain prominent Jewish ceremonial rituals and observances, demonstrate their corruption during Paul's life, and show Paul's condemnation of sacramental conversion. We'll see that Paul responded to, taught, and proclaimed the reconciling gospel call of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Hindu-Jewish Conversation: Root Traditions in Dialogue is a historical, theological, and phenomenological engagement of the Hindu and Jewish traditions, two "root" traditions that give rise to other-in some ways very different-types of religious traditions. Rachel Fell McDermott and Daniel F. Polish explore conceptions of the divine, which are frequently cited as the most serious obstacle to a serious theological engagement between the two traditions; differences in attitude towards heroes, saints, and holy people; the religious resources and challenges experienced by Hindu and Jewish women; what can be learned about Hindu and Jewish spiritual outpouring by comparing Hindu devotional poetry and the Book of Psalms; the ways in which the two traditions address the fraught question of theodicy, or why bad things happen to good people; the status of "the land" and nationalist claims on it; and the uncomfortable question of caste and its possible social parallels in the Jewish tradition. The authors weave considerations of these topics into an ongoing conversation that offers students of both traditions new ways of thinking both about their intersections and about the history of religion in general. A coda explores these same issues by recounting an actual series of discussions convened between Hindu and Jewish practitioners.

If God exists, why is there so much pain and suffering, and why isn't his existence more obvious? Philip Pegan develops a theodicy in answer to these questions that is consistent with theological determinism and with physicalism about all Earthly life and which promises eternal happiness for all creatures who have suffered.

How porous is the border between life and death? How do the dead influence the living and in what way? What can Heaven, Hell, Purgatory and the two Limbos tell us of our contemporary world today?In The Mirror of Death, Kristof K.P. Vanhoutte explores the hermeneutical potential of the regions in the hereafter. After an exciting voyage through the emergence of the afterlife and of the constancy of death's presence in the history of humanity, Vanhoutte shows, through the study of the nature and genealogy of the various realms in the beyond, how an invigoratingly new and critical perspective of a wide variety of contemporary phenomena is unveiled when reading them through the interpretative lens of these regions where the dead dwell. Modern politics, our fellow human beings, the times of our lives, the capitalistic economic system, medicalization, wokism, and living in crisis will never look the same.

2023 Reprint of the 1896 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The most celebrated novelist of all time, the author of Anna Karenina and War and Peace, retells "the greatest story ever told," integrating the four Gospels into a single twelve-chapter narrative of the life of Jesus. Based on his study of early Christian texts, Leo Tolstoy's remarkable The Gospel in Brief makes accessible the powerful, mystical truth of Jesus's spiritual teaching, stripped of artificial church doctrine.The Gospel in Brief is a synthesis of the four gospels of the New Testament into one narrative of the life of. It is notable in that it excludes many of the supernatural aspects of the original gospels, such as their claims of Jesus's divine origins and ability to perform miracles. Instead, the work focuses on Jesus's teachings to his followers, presumably those which Tolstoy found most compelling. The Gospel in Brief is thought by some to be deeply reflective of Tolstoy's own interpretation of Christianity.

In summary, I would like to bring to mind Jesus's words in Luke 24:44-45:That all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me. Then opened. He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.Jesus opened the disciples' understanding that they would see fulfilled prophecy.Our understanding can likewise be opened up when we allow the Bible to speak. The Bible is its own best commentary.In this book, you will be able to see how Jesus fulfilled prophecy concerning himself and his kingdom/church. Many of the radio and television preachers are mistaken when they preach on the Second Coming of Christ. They misunderstand how the many prophecies they use have already been fulfilled in Christ's first coming and in the establishment of the church/kingdom. They misunderstand the many figurative and symbolic statements used by the prophets in the Old Testament. The New Testament writers were revealed the fulfilment of these prophecies.It is important to remember that figurative passages must always be understood in light of easy-to-understand passages and any interpretation of a difficult passage that contradicts a plain passage cannot be correct.God bless those of you who read this book--that you will be like the early Bereans in that they received the Word of God with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things are so or not (Acts 17:10-11).
