Peppermint-Filled Piñatas

by Eric Michael Bryant

We live in a diverse world filled with unprecedented opportunity. There is a call to move past the barriers that stand between us and those who may be different. Eric Michael Bryant has seen tolerance shown to those who are different than us—racially, religiously, sexually, politically, economically—and believes there must be more. After all, Jesus didn’t just tolerate people; he embraced them all with love. Using lighthearted humor, engaging personal stories, and a “party theology,” Bryant shows us how to love our neighbors and fulfill the vision Jesus had for the church from the beginning. Whether that is through building relationships with the help of bounce houses, stand up comedy, or piñatas, followers of Christ will be inspired to actively engage the world around them.

Perang melawan Okultisme, Sihir dan Agama Palsu

by Gabriel Agbo

Buku ini merupakan karya tentang apa disebut tritunggal jahat - okultisme, sihir dan agama palsu. Ketiga hal ini adalah alat-alat yang ditunggangi Setan untuk melakukan rencananya yang jahat melawan perkembangan kerajaan Allah dan manusia. Tiga cabang kerajaan kegelapan ini bekerja secara harmonis untuk mencapai tujuan-tujuan di atas. Setan adalah pemrakarsa dan pemimpin dari masing-masing hal itu.

Perceiving God

by William P. Alston

In Perceiving God, William P. Alston offers a clear and provocative account of the epistemology of religious experience. He argues that the "perception of God" his term for direct experiential awareness of God makes a major contribution to the grounds of religious belief. Surveying the variety of reported direct experiences of God among laypersons and famous mystics, Alston demonstrates that a person can be justified in holding certain beliefs about God on the basis of mystical experience. Through the perception that God is sustaining one in being, for example, one can justifiably believe that God is indeed sustaining one in being. Alston offers a detailed discussion of our grounds for taking sense perception and other sources of belief including introspection, memory, and mystical experience to be reliable and to confer justification. He then uses this epistemic framework to explain how our perceptual beliefs about God can be justified. Alston carefully addresses objections to his chief claims, including problems posed by non-Christian religious traditions. He also examines the way in which mystical perception fits into the larger picture of grounds for religious belief. Suggesting that religious experience, rather than being a purely subjective phenomenon, has real cognitive value, Perceiving God will spark intense debate and will be indispensable reading for those interested in philosophy of religion, epistemology, and philosophy of mind, as well as for theologians.

by Thomas Cattoi June Mcdaniel

Perception, Sensibility, and Moral Motivation in Augustine

by Sarah Catherine Byers

This book argues that Augustine assimilated the Stoic theory of perception into his theories of motivation, affectivity, therapy for the passions, and moral progress. Using his sermons to elucidate his treatises, Sarah Catherine Byers demonstrates how Augustine enriched Stoic cognitivism with Platonism to develop a fuller and coherent theory of action. That theory underlies his account of moral development, including his account of the mind's reception of grace. By analyzing Augustine's engagement with Cicero, Seneca, Plotinus, Ambrose, Jerome, Origen, and Philo of Alexandria, Byers sheds new light on a major thinker of the early Christian world whose work is of critical importance for understanding key and recurring themes in Western philosophy.

Perceptions of Self, Power, & Gender Among Muslim Women: Narratives from a Rural Community in Bangladesh

by Sarwar Alam

This book analyzes perceptions of self, power, agency, and gender of Muslim women in a rural community of Bangladesh. Rural women’s limited power and agency has been subsumed within the male dominated Islamic discourses on gender. However, many Muslim women have their own alternative discourses surrounding power and agency. Sarwar Alam intertwines an exploration of these power dynamics with reading of the Qur’an and Hadith, and analyzes how Muslim women’s perception of power and gender are linked to their relationship with religion.

Perceptions of the Holocaust in Europe and Muslim Communities

by Günther Jikeli Joëlle Allouche-Benayoun

The way people think about the Holocaust is changing. The particular nature of the transformation depends on people's historical perspectives and how they position themselves and their nation or community vis-à-vis the tragedy. Understandably, European Muslims perceive the Holocaust as less central to their history than do other Europeans. Yet while the acknowledgement and commemoration of the horrors of the Holocaust are increasingly important in Europe, Holocaust denial and biased views on the Holocaust are widespread in European Muslims' countries of origin. In this book, a number of distinguished scholars and educators of various backgrounds discuss views of the Holocaust. Problematic views are often influenced by a persistent attitude of Holocaust denial which is derived, in part, from discourses in the Muslim communities in their countries of origin. The essays collected here explore the backgrounds of these perceptions and highlight positive approaches and developments. Many of the contributions were written by people working in the field and reflecting on their experiences. This collection also reveals that problematic views of the Holocaust are not limited to Muslim communities.

Perché ho lasciato la religione ebraica per seguire Gesù

by Simona Trapani Bernard Levine

Sono certo che sarete molto sorpresi dall’apprendere che nella maggior parte delle case ebraiche non troverete una Bibbia. Potreste dire: “ma non è molto strano che, in una nazione nota come ‘il Popolo del Libro’, le persone non abbiano una Bibbia in casa? Tuttavia, ciò che è ancora più sorprendente è che pensiate che gli ebrei seguano le conoscano bene le Scritture; la scioccante verità è che la maggior parte dei libri dell’Antico Testamento sono un mistero per gli ebrei, in quanto non conoscono e non hanno mai visto le profezie su Gesù in libri come quelli di Ezechiele, Isaia, Daniele e Malachia. E sapevate che gli ebrei non sanno cosa dicono quando pregano, in quanto la maggior parte di essi non comprende l’ebraico? Ora, suppongo che vi chiediate come facciano gli ebrei a liberarsi da tutti i loro peccati se non credono in Gesù Cristo... Quale credono che sia la strada per il paradiso? Sarete scioccati di capire cosa sta avvenendo nel mondo ebraico.

Perdido en el Señor

by Richard G Chaber

Caminas sin rumbo y perdido en un bosque interminable lleno de belleza, oscuridad y desesperación, y encuentras un bote de pesca averiado. Estás extremadamente cansado de intentar conseguir el camino que te conduzca a la salida, así que te refugias en el bote averiado y a medida que observas el sutil empuje del rio corriente abajo, reflexionas sobre si realmente existe una salida y si algún día la encontrarás. Has escuchado que si en realidad encuentras la salida, algo muy especial y esclarecedor sucederá. Una especie de tesoro que te intriga y despierta tu interés, pero el bosque te proporciona algo que puedes ver y sentir, pues no estás seguro si la salida “rendirá sus frutos” como te han prometido. El camino hacia el tesoro luce desalentador, pero tú tienes el mapa y la llave. Billones de personas han oído hablar de Él pero muchos no buscan conocerle. Pronuncian su nombre a diario pero muchos no han hablado con Él, otros hablan con Él con bastante frecuencia. Él produce confusión y a la vez es muy brillante, incluso cuando es odiado, Él ama aún más. Él conoce tus momentos más íntimos y comprende tus dificultades, y espera pacientemente a que le digas “hola”. La ciencia nunca ha podido refutar la existencia de Dios, así que si uno no cree, debe estar abierto a la posibilidad porque Él nos da pruebas de Su existencia todos los días, sin embargo, no las vemos. Los cristianos se han convertido en nuestros peores enemigos y ha llegado el momento de restructurar la palabra de Dios y de hacer que Jesús sea “buena onda” otra vez. Realmente existe un Cielo y contrario a la creencia popular, no hace falta un esfuerzo complicado y agotador para poder entrar. Todos somos seres humanos de carne y hueso y no podemos aspirar a ser como Jesús, tal y como Él claramente lo ha dicho, pues sus formas son más elevadas. No podemos estar a la altura de sus estándares y no se espera que lo estemos. Hay una razón por la que podemos discernir en

Perdu dans le Seigneur

by Richard G Chaber

Vous errez, perdu dans une forêt sans fin, pleine de beauté, d'obscurité et de désespoir, et vous tombez sur un bateau de pêche en panne. Vous êtes extrêmement épuisé à force d'essayer de trouver le chemin qui vous permettra de sortir, alors vous vous réfugiez sur le bateau en panne et, tout en regardant la subtile rivière pousser en aval, vous vous demandez s'il existe vraiment une issue et si vous la trouverez un jour. Vous avez entendu dire que si vous trouvez la sortie, quelque chose de très spécial et d'éclairant vous attend. Une sorte de trésor qui vous intrigue et éveille votre intérêt, mais la forêt vous fournit quelque chose que vous pouvez voir et ressentir, car vous n'êtes pas sûr que la sortie sera vraiment "payante" comme promis. Le chemin vers le trésor semble intimidant, mais c'est vous qui détenez la carte et la clé. Des milliards de personnes ont entendu parler de lui, mais beaucoup ne cherchent pas à le connaître. Vous dites son nom tous les jours mais beaucoup ne lui ont jamais parlé, d'autres lui parlent très souvent. Il est déroutant et pourtant si brillant, et même lorsqu'il est détesté, il aime encore plus. Il connaît vos moments les plus intimes et comprend vos luttes, et attend patiemment que vous lui disiez bonjour. La science n'a jamais réfuté l'existence de Dieu, alors même si l'on ne croit pas, il faut être ouvert à cette possibilité car Il nous montre son existence tous les jours, mais nous ne la voyons pas. Les chrétiens sont devenus nos propres pires ennemis et il est temps pour nous de restructurer la parole de Dieu et de rendre Jésus à nouveau cool. Il y a vraiment un paradis et, contrairement à la croyance populaire, il ne faut pas un effort élaboré et épuisant pour y entrer. Nous sommes tous des humains de chair et les voies de Jésus ne sont pas nos voies, comme il le dit clairement, car ses voies sont plus élevées. Nous ne pouvons pas nous conformer à ces normes et nous ne sommes

Perdurabo, Revised and Expanded Edition

by Richard Kaczynski

The name "Aleister Crowley" instantly conjures visions of diabolic ceremonies and orgiastic indulgences--and while the sardonic Crowley would perhaps be the last to challenge such a view, he was also much more than "the Beast," as this authoritative biography shows. Perdurabo (the magical name Crowley chose when inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) traces Crowley's remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world's foremost authority on magick. Along the way, he rebels against his conservative religious upbringing; befriends famous artists, writers, and philosophers (and becomes a poet himself ); is attacked for his practice of "the black arts"; and teaches that science and magick can work together. While seeking to spread his infamous philosophy of "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," Crowley becomes one of the most notorious figures of his day. Based on Richard Kaczynski's twenty years of research, and including previously unpublished biographical details, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.
