Recalling Chogyam Trungpa
by Fabrice MidalIn wide-ranging essays and interviews, contributors from the fields of Buddhist practice and scholarship, philosophy, the arts, and literature examine the work of a modern genius--the Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-1987). A pioneer in introducing Buddhism to the West, Trungpa Rinpoche had a distinct knack for breaking down the cultural, historical, and ideological barriers that make any such transmission so difficult today. His skill at communicating in a living language to Western students, while remaining faithful to the traditional origins of Buddhism, was paired with an understanding of the modern world of unusual relevance. As a result, his activities in a wide range of areas--including psychology, education, theater, poetry, visual arts, translation, publishing, interreligious dialogue, the creation of a path of spiritual warriorship, and the founding of the first Buddhist university in North America--offer penetrating insights into the meaning of Buddhism for our world and our culture. This anthology is a testimony to the continuing influence of his unique qualities and work as a revitalizing force in spheres both spiritual and secular.
Recalling The Hope Of Glory: Biblical Worship From The Garden To The New Creation
by Allen P. RossMoving beyond worship wars over style and denominational proclivities, Allen Ross has completed an extensive study of the biblical material that informs the heart of true worship: "to recall and celebrate the hope of glory." Much more than a biblical theology of worship, Recalling the Hope of Glory is an inductive study of the Bible, showing how the many biblical events and teachings develop the central focus of worship. Beginning not with early Israelite worship, but with creation itself, this work uncovers the glories and beauty of true worship as it is progressively revealed from its beginning in the Garden to its climax in the new heavens and new earth. Throughout the book, the focus is on the integral issue of who we worship . . . and why. Ross then applies these discoveries to the contemporary Christian practice and debate. Recalling the Hope of Glory stands to become a definitive resource for the pastor, worship leader, and those training for the ministry. Regardless of their denomination, readers will appreciate the author's high view of Scripture and just how much it can and should inform Christian worship.

Recapturing the Wesleys' Vision: An Introduction to the Faith of John and Charles Wesley
by Paul Wesley ChilcoteScholar and teacher Paul Wesley Chilcote provides a full and clear introduction to the dynamic faith of John and Charles Wesley. The vital theology of John is skillfully gleaned from his voluminous writings. The corresponding faith of Charles is culled from his enduring hymns. For students and general readers this book illuminates the vital balance the Wesleys found in Christian teaching that overcomes the often mutually exclusive options presented in other theological traditions. Chilcote shows that such a synthetic faith is not boring or irrelevant but transforming and life-giving, bringing together faith and works, Word and Spirit, the personal and the social, the head and the heart, mission and service.
Recapturing the Wonder: Transcendent Faith in a Disenchanted World
by Mike Cosper• 15th Annual Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year - Inspirational • Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Top Shelf Book Cover Award 2017 When we're young, it's easy to believe in the supernatural, the mysterious, the enchanted. But as we grow older, we learn to be more "rational" and more confident that reality is merely what we can see. Even as Christians who believe in the resurrection, we live as if miracles and magic have been drained from the world. As Mike Cosper wrestled with his own disillusionment, he found writers, thinkers, and artists like Hannah Arendt, Charles Taylor, James K. A. Smith, and David Foster Wallace whose words and ideas reassured him that he was not alone. And he discovered ancient and modern disciplines that shape a Christian way of life and awaken the possibility of living again in an enchanted world. Exquisitely written with thoughtful practices woven throughout, this book will feed your soul and help you recapture the wonder of your Christian walk.

Recasting Islamic Law: Religion and the Nation State in Egyptian Constitution Making
by Rachel M. ScottBy examining the intersection of Islamic law, state law, religion, and culture in the Egyptian nation-building process, Recasting Islamic Law highlights how the sharia, when attached to constitutional commitments, is reshaped into modern Islamic state law.Rachel M. Scott analyzes the complex effects of constitutional commitments to the sharia in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. She argues that the sharia is not dismantled by the modern state when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, but rather recast in its service. In showing the particular forms that the sharia takes when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, Scott pushes back against assumptions that introductions of the sharia into modern state law result in either the revival of medieval Islam or in its complete transformation. Scott engages with premodern law and with the Ottoman legal legacy on topics concerning Egypt's Coptic community, women's rights, personal status law, and the relationship between religious scholars and the Supreme Constitutional Court. Recasting Islamic Law considers modern Islamic state law's discontinuities and its continuities with premodern sharia.

The result was Jesus Calling, a collection of personal reflections based on Jesus' own words of hope, guidance, and peace found in the Scriptures.

In Receiving Christ's Hope, the third study in theJesus Calling Bible Study Series, you will explore the promises God makes to you in His Word about finding your shelter and security in Him.

Receiving Divine Revelation: Invite the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you through scripture
by Fuchsia Pickett, ThD., D.D.For years I studied the Word. I read every book I could lay my hands on and sat under every Bible teacher they would let me sit under. But I still didn't know God, nor did I really understand His Word. Although Jesus was living in my heart, He was a stranger to me. Do you know Jesus? Do you understand His Word? It took some extreme circumstances in my life to bring me to the place where the Holy Spirit began to reveal Jesus to me and in me. I will never forget the first night the Spirit began to "divide asunder" the veil of the flesh between my soul and spirit. I began to see Jesus and understand His Word. The Holy Spirit became my teacher, and I started to receive His divine revelation. You see, no one can show you Jesus except the Holy Spirit. This living reality miraculously set me on the path of divine discovery that I am still walking in today. Come and walk with me and my Teacher, the Holy Spirit. Learn how to hear His voice through God's Word. Let Jesus be revealed in you, and receive the divine revelation of who He is, the Christ who lives in your heart.

Receiving The Gift Of Friendship: Profound Disability, Theological Anthropology, And Ethics
by Hans S. ReindersDoes what we are capable of doing define us as human beings? If this basic anthropological assumption is true, where can that leave those with intellectual disabilities, unable to accomplish the things that we propose give us our very humanity? Hans Reinders here makes an unusual claim about unusual people: those who are profoundly disabled are people just like the rest of us. He acknowledges that, at first glance, this is not an unusual claim given the steps taken within the last few decades to bring the rights of those with disabilities into line with the rights of the mainstream. But, he argues, that cannot be the end of the matter, because the disabled are human beings before they are citizens. "To live a human life properly," he says, "they must not only be included in our institutions and have access to our public spaces; they must also be included in other people's lives, not just by natural necessity but by choice. " Receiving the Gift of Friendship consists of three parts: (1) Profound Disability, (2) Theology, and (3) Ethics. Overturning the "commonsense" view of human beings, Reinders's argument for a paradigm shift in our relation to people with disabilities is founded on a groundbreaking philosophical-theological consideration of humanity and of our basic human commonality. Moreover, Reinders gives his study human vividness and warmth with stories of the profoundly disabled from his own life and from the work of Jean Vanier and Henri Nouwen in L'Arche communities.

Recen por mí. Papa Francisco en sus propias palabras
by Julie Schwietert CollazoEste libro ofrece un retrato del Papa Francisco, uno de los líderes de la Iglesia Católica con más carisma. En muy poco tiempo, el Papa Francisco ha causado un impacto indeleble en los devotos al catolicismo, haciéndolos sentir optimistas sobre su fe y sus vidas. Este libro de Lisa Rogak, autora bestseller de The New York Times, es una recopilación del pensamiento del Papa Francisco sobre diversos temas que atañen a la humanidad y a los fieles católicos. Con la elección del cardenal argentino Jorge Mario Bergoglio como el nuevo Papa de la Iglesia Católica en marzo 2013, la atención del mundo se ha girado hacia no sólo lo que hará como Papa, sino también como él ha vivido -y como ha predicado- en el pasado. Hasta ahora, queda claro que, comparado a sus antecesores, el nuevo Papa ha mantenido una vida humilde y poco convencional. Por ejemplo, en vez de esperar que la gente le llame "Su Eminencia", él prefiere que le llamen "Padre Jorge". La mejor manera para los católicos y otros que están curiosos de saber sobre el nuevo Papa, sería leer su historia contada por él mismo. Como autor de numerosos libros y una cantidad inmensa de cartas y homilías, nos ha regalado fragmentos de sus visiones, pensamientos e ideas condensadas. No obstante, Recen por Mí: El Papa Francisco en Sus Propias Palabras le permitirá al lector, sin importar su credo religioso, medir y entender la profundidad de los pensamientos del Papa Francisco. A los católicos, acostumbrados a un Papa recto y autoritario, como lo fue Benedicto XVI, la decisión del cónclave de elegir a Jorge Mario Bergoglio puede parecerles alentadora y reconfortante, y les permite establecer una relación con los días de Juan Pablo II.

Recentering Seth: Teachings from a Multidimensional Entity on Living Gracefully and Skillfully in a World You Create But Do Not Control
by John Friedlander• Reframes Jane Roberts&’s Seth teachings, recentering them in the awareness that all consciousness expands in all directions • Examines how we create our reality through our conscious beliefs but how no one controls spontaneous reality so you cannot simply will your desires into being • Synthesizes Sethian teachings with an eclectic variety of concepts, schools, and influences, from aura reading and interpersonal engagement to Buddhism and Theosophy to nondual awareness, multipersonhood, and communication theory The Seth books, channeled by the late Jane Roberts in the 1970s, galvanized a whole generation of spiritual explorers. The entity known as Seth turned familiar mystical concepts into a radically new framework and introduced little known truths, including a unique understanding of how we create our own reality with our conscious beliefs. But in important ways, the Seth information hit a temporary dead end, especially through confusion about just what creating your own reality means. After nearly 5 decades exploring Seth&’s ideas, along with many other spiritual approaches, John Friedlander, a member of Jane Roberts&’s original Seth classes in 1974, has reframed the groundbreaking Seth teachings, recentering them in the awareness that all consciousness expands in all directions. He synthesizes Sethian teachings with an eclectic variety of concepts, schools, and influences, from aura reading, healing, and interpersonal engagement as taught by Lewis Bostwick, to Buddhism, reincarnation, karma, and the Theosophical practice of the seven planes, to conscious dying, nondual awareness, multipersonhood, and communication theory. Sharing engaging discussions from his classes, the author examines how you do create your own reality, but that no one controls reality, which is spontaneous and surprisingly creative. By recentering Seth in the awareness that all consciousness expands in all directions Friedlander reveals many ways to support the meaningful engagement of life as it is, bringing more pleasure not just to what is easy, but even to your tensions and contradictions.
Recentering Southeast Asia: Politics, Religion and Maritime Connections
by Himanshu Prabha RayThis book assesses the impact of European colonization in the late 19th and early 20th century in ‘restructuring’ the shared past of India and Southeast Asia. It provides case studies that transcend colonial constructs and adopt newer approaches to understanding the shared past. The authors explore these developments through the lens of political figures like Jawaharlal Nehru (1889–1964) and re-examine themes such as the Greater India Society (1926–1959) established in Calcutta, and the role of Buddhism in post-World War II connections, as the repatriation of the mortal remains of Japanese soldiers killed in Burma (Myanmar) acquired urgency.Drawing on a diverse range of sources including archaeology, Buddhist texts, the afterlives of the Hindu temples, maritime networks, and inscriptions from Vietnam and central India, the book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, Buddhism, archaeology, heritage studies, cultural studies, and political history as well as South and Southeast Asian history.
