What Archaeology Can Tell Us about the Reality of ancient Israel. (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Wm. B. Eerdmans, 2001 Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co).

Jr., The Old Testament Documents: Are They Reliable & Relevant? (Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, 2001 Walter C. Kaiser Jr.).

In his fullest example of how a reported miracle might be assessed (on p. 161), he makes use of a pattern of supposed miracles. (The example is contained in the offset material above in the text.) 10. In his example on p. 161, Houston speaks of "well-attested reports" and "reports of some weight." Moreover, part of his reason for discounting miracle reports in other religions is the poor quality of their attestation (204-205).

  • The Persistence of the Sacred in Modern Thought
    • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • THE PERSISTENCE OF THE SACRED IN MODERN THOUGHT Edited by CHRIS L. FIRESTONE and NATHAN A. JACOBS • University of Notre Dame Press Notre Dame, Indiana © 2012 University of Notre Dame Introduction . & . The collection of essays to follow looks at the role of God in the work of major thinkers in modernity. The philosophers of this period are, by and large, not orthodox theists; they are freethinkers, emancipated by an age no longer tethered to the authority of church and state. This side of the story, which portrays the great minds of Western thought as cutting ties with the sacred and moving increasingly toward the secu- lar, has received ample attention in classrooms and throughout the literature. The essays in this volume, however, are united around the belief that this is only one side of an even more complex and diverse story (or, more exactly, collection of stories), and that treating this side as the whole story, as is often done, hopelessly distorts the truth of the matter. The flipside of the story is about theologically astute, enlightened philosophers, bent not on removing God from philoso- phy but on putting faith and reason on more sure footing in light of advancements in science and a felt need to rethink the relation- ship between God and world. This book is focused on this oft-ignored side of the story—that is, the theologically affirmative dimensions of major philo sophical figures stretching from René Des cartes to Søren Kierke gaard. Our purpose is to help halt and indeed reverse the slow 1 © 2012 University of Notre Dame 2 • Chris L.

When it becomes necessary—as sometimes is the case—to decide whether a particular theologian or movement is truly evangelical or not, reformists look to the center—the unchanging constellation of four evangelical commitments that makes up its paradigm. This is our story. Their differences lie in divergent mindsets toward a variety of fundamental issues, including theological boundaries, the nature of doctrine, progress in theology, and relating to nonevangelical theologies and culture in general. Chapter seven concludes the book by first speaking to Asian Americans. Pinnock and others have suggested that the God of the Bible is obscured by such traditional attributes as simplicity, impassibility, and even immutability. How are ratings calculated? Give Today. Theology of Salvation Rikk Watts tackles the oft-controverted relationship between Israel and the church in the question of salvation. A Jewish Blessing: Dabru Emet. I cannot imagine any theologian or church person who would not find the reading of this book a beneficial enterprise. They argue that the heart of postmodernism is deconstructionism—the philosophy that all claims to truth are but masks for will to power. Notes and References. Share your feedback here. Some of those same churches today speak of personal evangelism as essential to the growth of the church in the world, but they send out fewer missionaries and do less to train their members for the task of evangelism than their evangelical counterparts typically do.

  • Can Religious Experience Provide Justification for the Belief in God? the Debate in Contemporary Analytic Philosophy Kai-Man Kwan* Hong Kong Baptist University
    Philosophy Compass 1/6 (2006): 640–661, 10.1111/j.1747-9991.2006.00037.x Can Religious Experience Provide Justification for the Belief in God? The Debate in Contemporary Analytic Philosophy Kai-man Kwan* Hong Kong Baptist University Abstract In recent analytic philosophy of religion, one hotly debated topic is the veridicality of religious experience. In this paper, I briefly trace how the argument from religious experience comes into prominence in the twentieth century. This is due to the able defense of this argument by Richard Swinburne,William Alston, and Jerome Gellman among others. I explain the argument’s intuitive force and why the stock objections to religious experience are not entirely convincing. I expound Swinburne’s approach and his application of the Principle of Credulity to religious experience. Then I critically examine four major objections to Swinburne. I conclude that the argument from religious experiences is not likely to be conclusive but it should not be dismissed either. The Experiential Roots of Religion Religion is characterized by the passion that it can arouse. Why is religion capable of such enormous effects on human life? Apart from the fact that religion is about the ultimate concern of human beings, we also need to bear in mind that religion often has an experiential basis. God is not just a hypothesis for the religiously devoted. He is a Living Reality who permeates all their lives. Those people who experience God will echo with Job: “I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee” (Holy Bible, Job 42.5).

    435 1 Gary Land 22nd International Faith and Learning Seminar Seminar Schloss Bogenhofen, Austria August 11, 1998 POSTMODERNISM: A CHRISTIAN REFLECTION For more than a decade we have increasingly seen and heard the terms "postmodem" and "postmodernism" both inside and outside academia I recall first coming face-to-face with "postmodernism" several years ago when the Utne Reader, a sort of Reader's Digest of what it calls the "alternative press," devoted a large portion of one issue to the subject. 1 Gradually, I came to realize that other terms that I was increasingly hearing--"deconstruction," "post­ structuralism," "metanarrative," "authorial-authority,"" reader-response," and "thick narrative"-­ were, in one way or another, related to the larger movement called postmodernism. As one whose principle interest is intellectual history, I recognized that I needed to gain an understanding of this movement. Discussions with colleagues, some of whom were attracted to postmodemism, impelled me to further study and reflection. When asked to present a formal lecture on the subject in 1995, emphasizing postmodernism's impact on the humanities, I was forced to focus my attention more clearly, to "do my homework," so to speak. Asked to address postmodemism today, I have once again had to concentrate on the issue, hopefully expanding my understanding beyond that of a few years past and at the same time building on what I had done previously. I do not come to you today as an "expert" on postmodemism. The literature of and on this movement is vast; some of its jargon is deliberately off-putting. Therefore, I cannot claim to have more than sampled some representative works, but I believe that I have sampled sufficiently to gain a fairly accurate sense of postmodemism' s main themes.
