Catholicism, for example, is a tradition that upholds both articles of faith that are non-negotiable and a diverse array of legitimate expressions/applications of that faith that are many and varied— in fact they are to be celebrated.

  • Gabriel Moran's Book Is a Tour De Force of Practical Theology. Beginning
    “Gabriel Moran’s book is a tour de force of practical theology. Beginning from a creative reappropriation of the meanings of ‘faith’ and ‘revelation’ as ‘believing in a revealing God,’ Moran establishes a lively and relevant theological basis for addressing problems of authority and responsibility in the Church, for identifying the distinctively Christian faith-response to divine revelation, and for questions of teaching and learning. This remarkably stimulating and thoroughly original approach to our ecclesial life today offers real guidance through the perils and pitfalls of today’s Christian believing. Written with a clarity and attractiveness that should give it a wide readership, the book charts its own distinctive course through some very well-traveled waters.” — Paul Lakeland Aloysius P. Kelley SJ Professor of Catholic Studies Director, Center for Catholic Studies Fairfield University, Connecticut “Gabriel Moran, master-teacher, teaches us anew about old topics. He has fresh, insightful things to say about the God who reveals, the humans who accept and respond to this revelation, and the community in which the revelation is mediated. When a master teacher speaks, there is always much to be learned by all who listen carefully, and that is abundantly true in this book.” — Michael G. Lawler Professor Emeritus of Catholic Theology Creighton University Omaha, Nebraska “Once again Moran has shown he is one of the most underestimated Roman Catholic intellectuals of our time. No work is more timely. No project more important. The book is the summit of his life’s work on the question of revelation. Moran’s intention here is to be deeply conservative.

Moody Bible Institute May, 2009 December 2019 Dr. Karin Heller, Faculty Advisor Dr. Joshua Leim, Reviewer Summary of Salient Points This research will demonstrate that bodily existence is essential to human nature and that Christian worship practices must go hand-in-hand with a sound understanding of human embodiment in order to be faithful to the essence of Christianity. The following thesis demonstrates that the biblical understanding is that humanity was created as a body enlivened by the breath of God and intended to be the sacred sanctuary where God’s presence will dwell. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ, God’s goal to make humanity the sanctuary for his presence is fulfilled. Jesus Christ is the image of God, who redeems and represents all humanity regardless of age, class, race, or gender. All humanity finds their ultimate destiny in union with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, by which those who believe are transformed into God’s dwelling place.

Should Chris and Blaine be guilty of murder? What does the law do when its “reason” is called into question by a religious revelation that claims authority and moral certainty superior to and contrary to law? We seem to be living in a time when this question is a common one.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Channeling the Symbols of Divine Radiation: An Ethnographic Analysis of the Functions of Sacred Materials in Superetism A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Culture and Performance by Degenhart Maria Grey Brown 2019 © Copyright by Degenhart Maria Grey Brown 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Channeling the Symbols of God’s Radiation: An Ethnographic Analysis of the Functions of Sacred Materials in Superetism by Degenhart Maria Grey Brown Master of Arts in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Allen Fraleigh Roberts, Chair Despite mounting interest in the lives of objects across a broad swathe of academic disciplines, researchers often reduce the complex mediating role of religious materials among human and divine beings to categorical, social constructions. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the United States, Mexico, and Nigeria over a period of five years, this thesis explores the divine and agentive functions of sacred objects pertaining to the Los Angeles-based Holy Superet Light Church. Since the passing of the movement’s founder in 1957, Superet sacred objects have adopted Her role as mediator between humanity and God. As indexical representations for God’s Light, Superetists consider the movement’s religious materials to possess remedial qualities that transcend human agency. Ultimately, this project ii prioritizes an emic, collaborative perspective in exploring how members of the Holy Superet Light Church access spiritual and physical healing through an immersive, long-term interaction with the religion’s material culture. iii The thesis of Degenhart Maria Grey Brown is approved.

  • The Philosophy of Revelation
    The Philosophy of Revelation Author(s): Bavinck, Herman (1854-1921) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In 1908-1909, Princeton Theological Seminary invited Her- man Bavinck to deliver the renowned L.P. Stone Lectures. This volume contains these lectures, all of which concern theories of divine revelation. He details the importance of God's revealing himself in history, thought, nature, personal experience, and religious tradition, hoping to show that people cannot make sense of the world without acknowledging the divine revelation as foundational. The lectures remain relev- ant today, and give a more concise insight into early 20th century Reformed thought than some of Kuyper's and others' lengthier works.

Ragland’s rejection of the widespread theological claim that the earthly life is the sole sphere of choice, though central to Ragland’s argument, is never ar- ticulated, let alone justified. While it is tempting to vary the theological elements of a doctrine in order to solve philosophical problems, it should be remembered that theological claims need theological justification.
