Free Download Foundations of the Gospels: A Believer's Commentary on Genesis 1-3 By Kuldip Singh Gangar 2018 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 1601785887 | EPUB | 1 MB In Foundations of the Gospel, Kuldip Singh Gangar challenges prevailing nonliteral readings of Genesis 1-3. Against various old-earth views of world origins, Gangar argues that believers can read the Bible at face value and trust the historical accuracy of its account of creation. As the author says, 'If at the beginning we cannot take God's Word at face value, then we are left wondering whether other passages should also be read that way or not.' Gangar's apologetic commentary provides a defense of young earth creationism, showing how modern concerns are most reliably addressed with traditional biblical interpretation.Table of Contents: 1.

Free Download Fletcher, "Foundations of General Relativity " English | ISBN: 1108949282 | 2025 | 84 pages | PDF | 2 MB This Element provides a somewhat comprehensive interpretation of general relativity, a description of what reality would be like if the theory were true. This concerns (i) what possibilities it represents, (ii) the internal structure of those possibilities and their interrelations, and, to some extent, (iii) how those possibilities differ from what's come before. By providing an interpretive foil that one can amplify or amend, it aspires to shape the research agenda in the foundations of general relativity for established philosophers of physics, graduate students searching for work in these topics, and other interested academics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.  Free Download Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups by Frank W.

Free Download Forms of Inequality and the Legitimacy of Governance, Volume Two by Italo Pardo, Giuliana B. Prato English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2025 | 242 Pages | ISBN : 3031786939 | 6 MB This edited volume uses ethnographic cases to examine social, political, and economic inequality in diverse urban settings. This book is couched in the idea that ethnographically-based analysis helps to bring out the nature and interconnections between different forms of inequality and sheds light on the major forces that combine to create inequalities. Ethnography also helps to identify the dynamics that undergird the principle of freedom of thought and of action - a key principle, that is, of associated life in a democracy - and recognize empirically that these dynamics not only protects difference but increase it, for they underpin the freedom of the individual to use their talents to manage their lives and achieve their goals. This second volume in a two-part series focuses on housing and residential patterns, development and urban regeneration, and education. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in sociocultural anthropology, sociology, politics, socio-legal studies, urban change, education.  Free Download Form and Being: Studies in Thomistic Metaphysics By Lawrence Dewan 2006 | 265 Pages | ISBN: 0813214610 | PDF | 1 MB The latest volume in the Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy series contains thirteen essays by Lawrence Dewan on metaphysics, the vision of reality from the viewpoint of being. While they take the form of interpretations of the thought of Thomas Aquinas, they are meant as a contribution to perennial philosophy, truth that transcends particular cultures and eras.Written over a period of 25 years, they range from an overall conception of the primary philosophical wisdom, to such particular subjects as the conception of substance in an evolutionary context; the natural seed of intellectual knowledge within the human being; the principle of causality; the immortality of the soul; and the real distinction between particular form and the act of being, crucial for our understanding of reality as created.The method combines close readings of and reflections on the texts of Thomas Aquinas and other relevant thinkers. Because the essays were written largely in response to the work of several prominent twentieth-century metaphysicians, they regularly offer alternative views on extremely fundamental issues.The distinctive contribution of this volume is its focus on the role of form among the various items in the ontological analysis. The most prominent Thomistic metaphysicians in the twentieth century laid great stress on the role of the act of being. Dewan's essays present what is essentially the same picture, but in a way that emphasizes the continuity between Christian philosophers and their predecessors in ancient Greece. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lawrence Dewan, O.P., is professor of philosophy at the Dominican College of Philosophy and Theology in Ottawa and is a member of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome."The distinctive contribution of this volume is its focus on the role of form among the various items in the ontological analysis." ― The Maritain NotebookPRAISE FOR THE BOOK: "[A] handsome volume of thirteen Dewan papers, selected from among the more than a hundred he has produced over the years." ― Stephen L. Brock, Acta Philosophica"It is a pleasure to spend time with Lawrence Dewan in the pages of this book. His mastery of Aquinas, eagerness to teach, zeal for philosophical truth, critical intellect, and gentle humor illumine every chapter. . . . Father Dewan and the editors of the Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy series have performed a service to the philosophical community in bringing these essays together." ― Michael J. Dodds, O.P., The Thomist"Thirteen substantive articles, heavily textual in nature, compose the volume. Dewan culls them from over 100 published in the last twenty-seven years." ― John F. X. Knasas, American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly  Free Download Forgiveness in Victorian Literature: Grammar, Narrative, and Community By Richard Hughes Gibson 2015 | 185 Pages | ISBN: 1780937113 | EPUB | 1 MB Forgiveness was a preoccupation of writers in the Victorian period, bridging literatures highbrow and low, sacred and secular. Yet if forgiveness represented a common value and language, literary scholarship has often ignored the diverse meanings and practices behind this apparently uncomplicated value in the Victorian period. Forgiveness in Victorian Literature examines how eminent writers such as Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Oscar Wilde wrestled with the religious and social meanings of forgiveness in an age of theological controversy and increasing pluralism in ethical matters. Richard Gibson discovers unorthodox uses of the language of forgiveness and delicate negotiations between rival ethical and religious frameworks, which complicated forgiveness's traditional powers to create or restore community and, within narratives, offered resolution and closure. Illuminated by contemporary philosophical and theological investigations of forgiveness, this study also suggests that Victorian literature offers new perspectives on the ongoing debate about the possibility and potency of forgiving.

A long time hands-on healer, he advocates "pouring out the old wine" with forgiveness before pouring in the new wine of prayer or energy healing. He is passionate about society's need to start thinking of ourselves as healers in order to live more mindfully and more compassionately. |
