I would like for all of us, after these days of grace, that we find courage to walk in the presence of God ... and to build the church with the blood of Christ. Only this way will the church move forward… …to find new ways to bring evangelization to the ends of the earth. …serve the Gospel with renewed love, helping the church become ever more in Christ and with Christ. …strive to faithfully respond to the continuing mission: Bring Jesus Christ to humanity and lead people to an encounter with Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life. ..never give in to pessimism, that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. …have the firm certainty that the Holy Spirit gives the church, with its powerful breeze, the courage to persevere and also to find new methods of evangelization, to bring the Gospel to the far ends of the earth. The Christian truth is attractive and persuasive because it responds to humanity's deepest needs. Like good wine [it] gets better with the years. Let’s give the young the knowledge of life.

The words scratch the surface of my limited thought but represent a beginning. It has been a magical and clumsy ride filled with passion that has often been misunderstood by my closest friends and family. I have learned so much along the way. And, I realize that when we use the language of ‘learn’ it implies application and not merely mental gymnastics. Thank you to all who have taken the first step in bringing the Word of God and the reality of Jesus Christ to all who search for spiritual relevance in their life. Thank you to Monsignor Dennis Lyle, past Rector/President of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois, for provocative inspiration and contributions in the area of morals and pastoral teaching. Thank you to Deacon Bob Puhala, the Director of the Institute for Diaconal Studies at the University of Saint Mary of the Lake, who granted me freedom to indulge thought and the written word and contributed within the concept of diakonia. Thank you to the witness of so many believers I have encountered in parish ministry, in hospitals and on street corners, and in guiding candidates to the permanent diaconate. Their witness is truly an inspiration. Conversation, spirited discussion, much internal meditative thought and lived experience united with accumulated wisdom from friends, acquaintances and anonymous searching souls have made this work possible. My hope is that those seeking an understanding of faith and desire intimacy with Jesus, as well as pastors, deacons and parish leaders commissioned with the necessary ministry of evangelization, come to a new horizon of first learning and then applying Christian obligation and look at evangelization with new eyes, new ears and continual storytelling in union with proclaiming Gospel truth. I pray daily that a new Christian attitude and spirit embrace our nation. May we not shy away from our Christian heritage but truly embrace it and proclaim it. As you read and reflect on the thoughts contained in this book I hope you grasp the essential components of ‘name,’ identity and relationship. They are the foundation of a ‘new’ evangelization. The name says it all: Jesus. May, 2013 Mundelein, Illinois 6 A COURAGEOUS LEAP OF FAITH A CREATION STORY GOD WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FINISHING UP THE ACT OF CREATION when an announcement was made that the only thing left to create was a creature capable of understanding and marveling in the greatness of God. This being was to be called human and was to be of the earth, like all other creatures. It also was to be created in the image of God. “Let these beings have reason, intellect and understanding,” declared God. It was then that Truth began to plead. “O Lord, I ask you to refrain from calling into being a creature that is capable of lying. The last thing we need is to have a world filled with deception and fraud.” Peace than came forward to support this petition. “O Lord, I beg you not to create creatures who will disturb the harmony of creation. I fear these humans will act with revenge and initiate destruction.” While they were pleading against the creation of human beings, the soft voice of charity, who was known as Love, was heard. “God of creation, I know that any being created in your likeness will have the capacity to perform great and kind deeds. Filled with your spirit, these human beings will comfort the sick, visit the lonely, and provide shelter to the homeless. They will support each other when relationships fail. They will celebrate when they flourish. They will first forgive themselves, their children, their friends, and their lover. They will accept your forgiveness. And they will do all of these wonderful things under the guidance of your Spirit and celebrate in your presence. Such a being cannot but bring glory to you, O Lord.” God listened to the inner voices of Truth and Peace before the final act of creation. But it was because of the soft voice of Love that human beings were created. 7 A COURAGEOUS LEAP OF FAITH AUTHOR’S NOTE In all the stages of Jesus’ activity…it has become evident that Jesus is closely connected with the “we” of the new family that he gathers by his proclamation and his action. It has become evident that this “we” is in principle intended to be universal: It no longer rests on birth, but on communion with Jesus, who is himself God’s living Torah. This “we” of the new family is not amorphous. Jesus calls an inner core of people specially chosen by him, who are to carry on his mission and give this family order and shape (p.169). …The calling of the disciples is a prayer event: it is as if they were begotten in prayer, in intimacy with the Father (p.170). Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth, Copyright 2007 English translation by The Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group, a division of Random House, Inc., New York OVER FORTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, I regularly visited a small diner. It was in a Rexall’s Pharmacy and it had booths and a soda counter. We called it I.C. NORTH. I mention “we” because there was a select group of my closest friends and I that made it a habit to go to Mass on one weekend, mostly to see which girls from Taft and Resurrection High Schools would be there, and frequent the restaurant almost every other Sunday morning rather than go to church.

  • A Reply to Steven Kepnes Jerome Yehuda Gellman Emeritus, Ben
    Theological Realism and Internal Contradiction: A Reply to Steven Kepnes Jerome Yehuda Gellman Emeritus, Ben-Gurion University Steven Kepnes’s manifesto on behalf of realism about God, “A Program for a Positive Jewish Theology,” deserves wide praise. Too often in Jewish theology we are witness to what the American philosopher William Alston called “transcendentalitis,” a determined desire to re- frain from saying anything at all about God, which for some folk might be but one small step from or equivalent to agnosticism. I have argued elsewhere for theological realism in Jewish thought and thank Kepnes for this important endeavor.1 Kepnes also endorses positive predi- cations of God, in a rejection of negative theology that allows only negations (God is not this, God is not that). Negative theology is not robust enough for the religious life. In my simplest understanding of the terms, a realist engaging in discourse about God in traditional Judaism affirms that God is real, genuine, actual, and existent independent of our or anyone else’s thinking of God. A non-realist engaging in discourse about God in tradi- tional Judaism denies that God is real, genuine, actual, and independently existent. A non- realist could be a “fictionalist,” thinking of “God” as an imaginative fiction designed to express and encourage one’s commitment to a particular religious way of life.2 Or a non-real- ist might treat “God-talk” as an emotively fitting way to relate to well-appreciated features of life and the world with some combination of gratitude and wonder at being alive, or the like.

  • Soren Kierkegaard
    For M.A;Semester-3 Contemporary Western Philosophy By Dr. Vijeta Singh Assistant Professor University Department of Philosophy(P.U) Soren Kierkegaard Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), considered to be the first existentialist philosopher, was of Danish nationality. He was also a theologian, poet, social critic and religious author. Accordingly, his work crosses the boundaries of philosophy, theology, psychology, literary criticism, devotional literature and fiction. He made many original conceptual contributions to each of the disciplines he employed. He was a great supporter of freedom and values of human individual. The main philosophical themes and principal conceptions of Kierkegaard’s philosophy are truth, freedom, choice, and God. For him, human beings stand out as responsible individuals who must make free choices. Kierkegaard was born on May 5, 1813 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He studied Theology and Philosophy from Copenhagen University . Kierkegaard lived the majority of his life alone. He left his native Copenhagen only three or four times, each time to visit Berlin , and never married, though he was engaged for a short time. Kierkegaard is known for his critiques of Hegel, for his fervent analysis of the Christian faith, and for being an early precursor to the existentialists. He is known as the “father of existentialism”. Kierkegaard is generally considered to have been the first existentialist philosopher, though he did not use the term existentialism. He proposed that each individual , not society or religion, is solely responsible for giving meaning to life and living it passionately and sincerely, or authentically. Kierkegaard is said to have inaugurated modern existentialism in the early 19th century, while Jean-Paul Sartre is said to have been the last great existentialist thinker in the 20th century.

A Love Knowing Nothing: Zen Meets Kierkegaard Mary Jeanne Larrabee 1 Abstract I present a case for a love that has a wisdom knowing nothing. How this nothing functions underlies what Kier- kegaard urges in Works of Love and how Zen compassion moves us to action. In each there is an ethical call to love in action. I investigate how Kierkegaard’s “religiousness B” is a “second immediacy” in relation to God, one spring- ing from a nothing between human and God. This imme- diacy clarifies what Kierkegaard takes to be the Christian call to love. I draw a parallel between Kierkegaard’s im- mediacy and the expression of immediacy within a Zen- influenced life, particularly the way in which it calls the Zen practitioner to act toward the specific needs of the person standing before one. In my understanding of both Kierkegaard and Zen life, there is also an ethics of re- sponse to the circumstances that put the person in need, such as entrenched poverty or other injustices. 1 Department of Philosophy, DePaul University.

Before asking whether one can insert any other religion in Climacus’s account of subjectivity, or point- ing to Climacus’s existentialist structure as a metatheory that can be found in any way of being or God-relation,3 it is critical to consider what Climacus him- self writes on the subject.

  • Kierkegaard on the Transformative Power of Art Antony Aumann Northern Michigan University [email protected]
    Kierkegaard on the Transformative Power of Art Antony Aumann Northern Michigan University [email protected] 1 Kierkegaard’s Therapeutic Project Kierkegaard’s project is first and foremost a therapeutic one. Although he makes theological points and defends philosophical theses, he is not primarily a theologian or philosopher. Instead, he is a “physician of the soul.”1 He aims to help us get better, existentially speaking—to cure us of our spiritual ills. And what he thinks we need to overcome our anxiety and despair is a transformation. In particular, we have to turn our backs on the goal of self-gratification. We must devote our lives to God or the Good rather than ourselves. In sum, Kierkegaard’s prescription for our existential ailments is that we leave behind “the aesthetic life” and head in an ethical or religious direction.2 The central question facing Kierkegaard is thus a practical one. How can he inspire such transformations? How can he get his readers to change who they are at a fundamental level? Following Ryan Kemp and others, I will argue that reason is not the proper tool for the task.3 No mere argument, even if cogent or sound, can move people in the way Kierkegaard wants to move them. Yet, I will maintain that where reason fails, art can succeed. Indeed, to the degree that Kierkegaard ever inspires transformations, it is in virtue of the beauty of his words and the aesthetic appeal of his stories rather than the force of his logic.4 2 Transformational Change To appreciate the challenge facing Kierkegaard, we need to understand the kind of change he wants to effect.

    IVP CLASSICS Escape from Reason Frances A. Schaeffer Clabon Bogan Jr 609.230.5809 [email protected] IVP CLASSICS Escape from Reason Frances A. Schaeffer Clabon Bogan Jr 609.230.5809 [email protected] ESCAPE FROM REASON In Chapter 4, Schaeffer lifts up the idea that because of the inevitable drawing of this” line of despair,” man as man is dead. The “line of despair” was Schaeffer’s way of addressing the loss of antithesis in American culture led to giving up all hope of achieving a rational unified answer to knowledge and life. He believed that we simply have mathematics, particulars, and mechanics by which man has no meaning, purpose, nor significance. • Thus, he considered the works of men like Sartre and Camus, Jaspers, Heidegger, and Huxley as anti-philosophies. • He even denounces Kierkegaard and Tillich with their “leap theologies,” which attempt to keep religion weighed down with the non-rationality and anti- philosophies below the line of despair. ESCAPE FROM REASON Schaeffer outlines what he believes the various steps leading below the line of despair, beginning with the German philosopher, Georg William Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) who became the first man to open the door into the line of despair. Hegel taught, that philosophically we have a thesis, and an opposite antithesis, whose relationship deviated from the horizontal movement of cause and effect and became a synthesis through dialectical thinking. Dialectical thinking is a form of analytical reasoning that pursues knowledge and truth as long as there are questions and conflicts. The most modern uses of the dialectical paradigm are through the "Socratic Method," which sometimes can be essentially abused.

  • Adapting Film Theory to Examine Map Form, Meaning, and Aesthetic
    DOI: 10.14714/CP77.1239 PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE Looking at the Big Picture: Adapting Film Theory to Examine Map Form, Meaning, and Aesthetic Ian Muehlenhaus James Madison University [email protected] Film and maps have much more in common than is often believed. In this paper, it is argued that film offers cartographers many concepts that can be used to better understand map form, aesthetics, and meaning. After reviewing these concepts as taught in film studies and originally formulated by Kenneth Burke, this article explores how these concepts can be applied by cartographers in their map design and by map critics. Several examples of adapting these theories to understand maps are provided. The paper concludes by arguing that cartographers can only benefit by more whole-heartedly embracing and adapting film theory concepts and methods. Doing so will likely result in clearer communication, storytelling, and argu- mentation, as well as offer a more nuanced method for determining what makes certain maps memorable. KEYWORDS: map form; map meaning; map aesthetics; film theory INTRODUCTION At first glance, it may seem that the relationship be- address a variety of questions. First, in recent years inter- tween cinema and traditional cartography is tenuous at est in map aesthetics has resurfaced (Buckley et al. 2012; best. After all, until recently maps were largely represent- McCleary 2012). As will be shown shortly, in film stud- ed on paper—a static medium to say the least—and at its ies the concept of aesthetic is a component of film style core, cinema is all about “moving pictures.” Obviously, it is (i.e., eloquence), which in turn is dependent on film form.
