When Christians of any age, country, or denomination debate the nature of the good life, the soul, free will, or design, Aristotle lies behind their logic as well as their rhetoric. Although Aristotle did not have access to the Bible's special revelation, he made full use of general revelation to arrive at deep truths about the nature of God, human identity, and the universe. In a follow up to his well-loved book From Plato to Christ.

Allie and I were meant to have a future together—one built on love, not fear. But here in Hawthorne, shadows lengthen, and whispers drift through the woods like curses. So when Alondra falls mysteriously ill, I know exactly who’s behind it.

Some individuals have such a magnetic personality that they can attract a hugely devoted following, ignoring the misdeeds of their leader and even committing evil on their behalf. With religious, spiritual or philosophical beliefs to guide them, cults can lead to some of the disturbing events of the modern era.

The New Testament tells the story of Jesus Christ and the beginning of Christianity. It starts with the four Gospels, which describe Jesus’ teaching, miracles, conflicts with religious leaders, death by crucifixion, and resurrection. Acts follows by showing how the apostles, empowered by the Holy Spirit, preach in Jerusalem and beyond, leading to the growth of the early church and the spread of the message throughout the Roman world, especially through the missionary work of Paul.

The modern world faces religious, spiritual, and existential quandaries, as new technologies redefine the beginnings and ends of life. Excruciating choices arise about when to turn off the machines—whether and when we should "play God." The COVID-19 pandemic made these dilemmas ever more acute. Increasingly, however, public discourse on religion and spirituality is polarized, with evangelicals on one side and vehement atheists on the other.

St Symeon's theology is a summation of a lifelong study of the Scriptures and fathers, of an immersion in the liturgical life of the Church and of lived experience. The treatises on the mystical life, usually rendered as The Ethical Discourses, comprise St Symeon's most extensive treatment of the experience of God. Volume I selects those treatises devoted to the Church, the sacraments and the last things. The SVS Press audiobook program is sponsored by St. Symeon Illumination Fund.

For too long, Christianity and evolution have been cast as enemies—faith clinging to the past, science racing into the future. But what if they were never meant to be in conflict? This book presents a bold vision: evolution is not chaos but a path, and Christianity reveals its goal. Science shows how matter rises into life and consciousness; faith proclaims why it moves—toward unity, freedom, and love in Christ. Reconciliation means more than compromise.

En este ensayo breve y visionario, el filósofo surcoreano reinterpreta la obra de la filósofa francesa como una brújula ética y espiritual para nuestro tiempo. Frente a un mundo dominado por el rendimiento, el consumo y la hiperactividad, Weil —y con ella Han— nos invita a redescubrir el vacío, el silencio, la atención y la trascendencia como formas de vida posibles y necesarias.

Thomas Paine, a political activist and member of the US Constitution, argues persuasively for a logical approach to theology in The Age of Reason. In keeping with the intellectual tradition of British Deism, Paine rejects the idea of divine revelation, claiming that "it is revelation to the first person only, and hearsay to every other." He continues by thoroughly examining the contradictions and historical errors in the Bible in order to reach the conclusion that it cannot be a work of divine inspiration.

With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science.

This book was written by me to create an environment to teach my Grand Children and Children about The Revelation. I have directed the listener by using Bible verses so he can defined the characters where they are and picture what the future will look like. The Bible states that not until the end times will we know what all these answers are. It is the end times so we should understand how to read with Understanding The Revelation. This is a large world view for the end times.

The Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, better known by its informal name of Jonestown, was a remote settlement in the South American country of Guyana established by the Peoples Temple, an American religious cult under the leadership of Jim Jones. On November 18, 1978, a total of 918 people died at the settlement, at the nearby airstrip in Port Kaituma, and at a Temple-run building in Georgetown, Guyana's capital city. The tragedy is often called the Jonestown Massacre. The following is a TV interview with survivor Odell Rhodes at Guyana's Park Hotel on November 24, 1978.

In einer Welt, die von Chaos, Ungerechtigkeit und geistiger Blindheit geprägt ist, offenbart dieses Buch eine schockierende Wahrheit:„Sie hat der Satan, der Herrscher dieser Welt, so verblendet, dass sie nicht glauben.“ (2. Korinther 4:4).Was, wenn Satan nicht nur eine mythische Figur ist, sondern der tatsächliche „Gott dieser Welt“ – der seit dem Sündenfall die Fäden der Menschheit zieht?In einer Welt voller Schmerz, Täuschungen und Lügen enthüllt dieses Buch, wo wir uns hier tatsächlich befinden und was wir tun können, um den Weg nach Hause zu finden!

In Reading Romans 9 From a Non-Calvinist Perspective, Chris White offers a clear, verse-by-verse journey through the Bible’s most controversial chapter. By restoring the historical context and tracing the flow of Paul’s argument through chapters 10 and 11, this book demonstrates that Paul is not describing a lottery of souls, but defending God's sovereign right to save the world by faith rather than works.

في هذه المقدِّمة الموجزة، يستكشف بيتر آدمسون تاريخَ الفلسفة لدى المسلمين واليهود والمسيحيين في الأراضي الإسلامية، من خلفيتها التاريخية إلى مفكري القرن العشرين. ومن خلال تقديـم الموضوعـات الفلســفية الرئيسية في العالم الإسلامي، يدمج آدمسون أفكاراً من الديانات الإسلامية والمسيحية واليهودية للنظر في الأسئلة الفلسفية الواسعة التي تستمرُّ في إثارة الجدل، مثل: ما العلاقة بين العقل والمعتقَد الديني؟ ما طبيعة المعرفة؟ كيف يمكن للفلسفة أن تؤثِّر على الأخلاق والسياسة؟ واعتماداً على أحدثِ الأبحاث في هذا المجال، يتحدَّى هذا الكتاب افتراضَ التدهور الثقافي للفلسفة والعلوم في العالم الإسلامي من خلال إظهار تراثهما الغني وتداخلهما مع الديانات والفلسفات الأخرى.

We used to believe in everything. Thunder had a name. The wind had a temper. The sun rode across the sky in a chariot, and the dead needed directions to find the afterlife. This is the story of how humans turned fear into firelight, rituals into religions, and mystery into mythology. From bone dolls in caves to modern AI cults, From Gods to God traces the full arc of belief — how we invented gods, gave them faces, wrote them books, and then slowly stopped believing in them altogether. It’s not about faith. It’s about why we ever needed it.

A teenager from Alabama in the United States begins losing grip on reality after the death of his brother. A decade later, with his mental illness progressively getting worse and inspired by the work of L. Ron Hubbard, he begins to try and trap the madness on paper so he can analyze it. He writes, "The Positive Energy Theory." Soon after, he is visited by God, who commands him to keep writing, instructs him on the chapters, and guides his words. 18 years after starting the capture of the unknown parts of his brain, the book barely survived.

Imagine having lived in the generation that discovered fire. Current scientific and technological advances will reorder our lives as much. Artificial Intelligence, decoding the human genome, links between mind and computer... All these things that were once science fiction are now quickly—and absolutely—becoming science fact. Could machines become sentient? Is "life" a computer simulation? Does science really have a genetic blueprint for all human life? Believers and unbelievers alike are easily unnerved by such questions.
