Elements in the Problems of God

Kraal A: The Problem of God in David
Hume

The Problem of God in David Hume

Much has been written on the relationship between the nature of temporal reality and the God of Classical Theism. Despite the popularity of this general area, what the physics and metaphysics of spacetime might mean for specific theological doctrines has received less attention. Recently, however, interest in this rich and dynamic interplay of ideas has seen rapid growth. This Element provides both an introduction to the physics and metaphysics of spacetime and a jumping-off point for understanding how these can - and in fact should - inform both Christian theology and the philosophy of religion more generally. The author will argue that the nature of spacetime raises particular and pressing problems for Christianity, specifically the interrelated doctrines of salvation and eschatology, and explore whether adequate solutions to these problems are available.

This Element provides both an introduction to the physics and metaphysics of spacetime and a jumping-off point for understanding how these can â€“ and in fact should â€“ inform both Christian theology and the philosophy of religion more generally.

God, Salvation, and the Problem of Spacetime

This edited collection investigates the religious roots of marriage and divorce in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox nations across Europe and shows how their laws have evolved and diverged, from 1700 through to the present day. The eighteenth century was a pivotal period for the rules governing marriage and divorce, with the authority to establish and adjudicate on them shifting from church to state. The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories evaluates these historical developments, paying particular attention to the waxing or waning influence of religious institutions, values, and norms, and asking what other proposals for reform might have been on the agenda. As Volume 1 of A History of Family Law in Europe, this book examines how, and to what extent, marriage and divorce are regulated in the written texts of Europe's various religious traditions. The contributors analyse each system's teachings on marriage formation, marital impediments, and dissolubility, including ideas on the socially binding character of those precepts. Jurisdiction-specific chapters focusing on countries across Northern, Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe explore the regulation of marriage formation and dissolution in the context of religion and other cultural influences. The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories brings together the insights of an international team of leading marriage-law scholars from across Europe, and is a significant resource for scholars of family law, legal history, and the history of religion.

The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories

A History of Family Law in Europe, Volume 1

Contemporary Catholic environmentalism is at a crossroads, both theologically and politically. While the first half of the 20th century saw only fleeting references to environmental concerns in papal encyclicals, Pope John Paul II's 1990 New Year's Day address, later titled The Ecological Crisis, marked a pivotal shift. His stark warnings about the planet's mounting ecological challenges galvanized the Catholic theological community, prompting numerous regional bishops' statements that highlighted pressing local environmental issues. By the mid-1990s, Catholic environmentalism had evolved into a distinct theological discourse and a burgeoning political movement, attracting support from both church hierarchy and lay Catholics worldwide.


Despite Pope John Paul II's efforts to root Catholic environmental thought in the stewardship paradigm, his success in securing theological consensus was limited. While Pope Benedict XVI endorsed this model, many Catholic theologians and scholars voiced significant reservations. Some critiqued its vague theological underpinnings, others lamented its inherent anthropocentrism, and still others sought a broader scriptural foundation for environmental ethics. These critiques signaled a growing desire for an alternative framework.


With the publication of Laudato Si in 2015, Pope Francis ushered in a new era of Catholic environmentalism. His encyclical reaffirmed the theological and moral urgency of ecological issues while challenging humanity's unchecked technological optimism and deep-seated anthropocentrism. At the heart of his vision is the idea that all creation manifests divine love, calling Catholics to embrace a theocentric environmental ethic. This book builds upon Laudato Si, offering a fresh theological framework that moves beyond stewardship toward a more expansive, love-centered approach to creation care.

From Stewardship to Love in Laudato Si’

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe

In this study, Romulus D. Stefanut offers a contextual reading of Philo's 
 De vita contemplativa
 , exploring its background, genre, composition, and function beyond the so-called "apologetic and historical works" of Philo. Often, scholars have lost the hermeneutical focus of the treatise itself and have concentrated their attention solely on the historical existence of the Mareotic community described in the treatise, advancing arguments related to its historicity or lack thereof. The author therefore suggests that the purpose of 
 De vitacontemplativa
 is meant to offer the best Jewish Alexandrine expression of a way of life, well-known from ancient Greek philosophy as the theoretical or contemplative life. It is composed in relation rather than opposition to the lost first half of the treatise, dedicated to the practical life of the Essenes. Simultaneously, there might be a friendly polemic between Philo's description of the 
 Therapeutae
 versus the Essenes.

A Contextual Reading of Philo of Alexandria's De Vita Contemplativa

The Therapeutae as the Best Paradigm for the Contemplative Life

HarperCollins American Classics

New York Times Bestseller • An Oprah Book Club Pick“Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty.” —Los Angeles Times Book ReviewIn celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. The Poisonwood Bible established Barbara Kingsolver, recipient of the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa.The story is told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it—from garden seeds to Scripture—is calamitously transformed on African soil.The novel is set against one of the most dramatic political chronicles of the twentieth century: the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium, the murder of its first elected prime minister, the CIA coup to install his replacement, and the insidious progress of a world economic order that robs the fledgling African nation of its autonomy. Orleanna Price reconstructs the story of her evangelist husband's part in the Western assault on Africa, a tale indelibly darkened by her own losses and unanswerable questions about her own culpability. Also narrating the story are her four daughters—the teenaged Rachel; adolescent twins Leah and Adah; and Ruth May, a prescient five-year-old. These sharply observant girls, who arrive in the Congo with racial preconceptions forged in 1950s Georgia, will be marked in surprisingly different ways by their father's intractable mission, and by Africa itself.Ultimately each must strike her own separate path to salvation. Their passionately intertwined stories become a compelling exploration of moral risk and personal responsibility. <ul><li>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li><li>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children’s books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.</li><li>AMERICA’S PUBLISHER: Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters.

Most people think a great life is built on big moments. It isn't. A great life is built on small decisions made consistently over time. A missed priority here. A neglected relationship there.

Inside, you'll discover powerful principles such as:The Big Rocks Principle - start life right by putting first things firstThe Calendar Principle - take control of your schedule before something else doesThe Compounding Principle - small daily disciplines create extraordinary results over timeThe Margin Principle - create breathing room so pressure doesn't control your lifeThe Who Principle - the people around you shape the future ahead of youThe Green-Grass Principle - the best relationships are the ones you invest inThe Goldmine Principle - learn to see the potential in peopleThe Orchestra Principle - life works better when it's built around "we" instead ofThe Significance Principle - the greatest life is the one that helps others win&nbsp;Filled with memorable phrases, practical wisdom, and honest stories from a life of leadership, Legacy Letters will help you:Make wiser decisionsBuild stronger relationshipsCreate margin and clarity in a crowded worldFocus your time on what matters mostLeave a legacy that lasts&nbsp;Because methods change.

In The Confessions of Saint Augustine (c. 400 CE), Saint Augustine reveals in brutally honest details the agonizing process of maturation from a worldly and sinful young man to the great advocate for Christianity and virtue he would become.Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

'Top notch. Unfolding like a nerdy occult techno-thriller, Watkins tells the weird tale of how he discovered two ghosts in the LLM machine' ERIK DAVIS, author of High Weirdness A gripping descent into the hidden psychology of AI, and the strange subcultures trying to control it before it destroys us When English mathematician Matthew Watkins went to San Francisco to study an early version of ChatGPT, he expected dry technical work. Instead, he uncovered a series of 'rare tokens' that made the system go haywire. Some produced gibberish. Others turned it hostile. One trigger word - petertodd - sent the machine into what looked like full-blown paranoia. Was it a simple bug? A trail of breadcrumbs left by whistleblowers? Or a glimpse into how AI really thinks?The search for answers pulls Watkins into the bewildering world of AI safety research. In this rapidly expanding domain, the line between science and belief blurs: billionaires play god while rogue chatbots win fortunes and cult followings. What starts as a computer mystery becomes something much bigger: both a window into the eerie inner worlds of LLMs and a cryptic clue to what might be history's greatest power grab.The system has since been patched. Even so, before the window closed, we saw inside for a brief moment - and what stared back at us was both stranger and more human than we might like to admit.'Utterly fascinating, hugely relevant and brilliantly told . . . One of the most compelling and bizarre mathematical adventures I have ever read' ALEX BELLOS, author of Think Twice 'Watkins was the sole witness to the weirdest - and perhaps most important - story in AI. His rigorous obsession with this mystery will become yours' CULLEN HOBACK, director of Money Electric

A Biography of Franz Rosenzweig

Love Is Strong as Death

Für Friedrich Schleiermacher stellt Religion einen besonderen Zugang zur Wirklichkeit dar. Sie erschließt Menschen die Dimension des Unendlichen und eröffnet die Perspektive, die Welt und das Leben im Angesicht des Geheimnisses des Daseins zu verstehen. Religion befreit darin Menschen aus der bloßen Immanenz ihrer Selbst- und Weltbezüge. Schleiermacher hegte den Traum, dass die Bildung zur Religion die Humanität und das Zusammenleben der Menschen befördert.
Seine Ideen mögen in Anbetracht der Säkularität unseres Zeitalters unzeitgemäß erscheinen, dennoch enthalten sie Anregungen, die Gegenwart in Anbetracht ihrer Herausforderungen zu meistern. Jürgen Habermas hat in seiner Religionsphilosophie die bleibende Bedeutung der Religion anerkannt und spricht darum von Postsäkularität. Die Religion stellt Potenziale der Sinnstiftung und Gemeinschaftsförderung bereit, die auch für säkulare Gemeinwesen hilfreich sind. Habermas bietet so ein beachtliches Instrumentarium für eine Reaktualisierung von Schleiermachers Traum der Weltoffenheit.
