 Free Download Jean-Pierre Fortin, "Grace in Auschwitz: A Holocaust Christology" English | ISBN: 1506405878 | 2016 | 315 pages | EPUB | 8 MB The postmodern human condition and relationship to God were forged in response to Auschwitz. Christian theology must now address the challenge posed by the Shoah. Grace in Auschwitz offers a constructive theology of grace that enables twenty-first-century Westerners to relate meaningfully to the Christian tradition in the wake of the Holocaust and unprecedented evil. Through narrative theological testimonial history, the first part articulates the human condition and relationship to God experienced by concentration camp inmates. The second part draws from the lives and works of Simone Weil, Dorothee Slle, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Alfred Delp, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Sergei Bulgakov to propose and apply a coherent kenotic model enabling the transposition of the Christian doctrine of grace into categories strongly correlating with the experience of Auschwitz survivors. This model centers on the vulnerable Jesus Christ, a God who takes on the burden of the human condition and freely suffers alongside and for human beings. In and through the person of Jesus, God is made present and active in the midst of spiritual desolation and destitution, providing humanity and solace to others.  Free Download Ryan M. Panzer, "Grace and Gigabytes: Being Church in a Tech-Shaped Culture" English | ISBN: 1506464130 | 2020 | 184 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Grace and Gigabytes: Being Church in a Tech-Shaped Culture explores change and ministry at the intersection of technology, culture, and church. In today's tech-shaped culture, we learn and we know through questions, connection, collaboration, and creativity-the networked values of the digital age. Drawing on experiences from a career as an instructional designer in the technology industry and a lifetime of leadership in the Lutheran church, Ryan M. Panzer argues that digital technology is not a set of tools, but a force for cultural transformation that has profound implications for ministry.  Free Download Yeshe Donden (Roger Calverley), "Gospel of Garab Dorje: The Highest, Secret Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism" English | ISBN: B0B3NBFF86 | 2021 | 256 pages | PDF | 15 MB "The awareness of all sentient beings is inherently pure. It needs no refinement, knows no enlightenment, and cannot be an object of intellectual understanding. For it, there is no arising or cessation, no worlds or events, no improvements or losses. It is the sky-like singularity of the Bodhichitta itself." This is the Gospel of Garab Dorje, the foundation of the Ati Yoga origin story that the Tibetans have always believed. The material presented in this book is based on the conviction that Garab Dorje, Manjushrimitra, Sri Simha and Vairochana were real historical figures, who by working together, brought Ati Yoga into the world and blessed the Buddhists of Tibet with their highest teachings.

Christ, "Goddess and God in the World: Conversations in Embodied Theology" English | ISBN: 150640118X | 2016 | 364 pages | EPUB | 4 MB In Goddess and God in the World, leading theologians Carol P. Christ and Judith Plaskow propose a new method for thinking about theological questions: embodied theology rooted in experience and tested in dialogue. Their theological conversation begins from the premise that the transcendent, omnipotent, male God of traditional theologies must be replaced with new understandings of divinity that can provide orientation and guidance as we face the social, political, and environmental challenges of our time. Situating divinity in the world and placing responsibility for the future firmly in human hands, they argue for an inclusive monotheism that affirms the unity of being through a plurality of images celebrating diversity and difference.

Free Download Paul O'Callaghan, "God and Mediation: Retrospective Appraisal of Luther the Reformer " English | ISBN: 1506410111 | 2017 | 160 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Martin Luther's effort to put God at the very center of human life hinged on five principles: sola gratia, sola fide, sola Scriptura, solus Christus, and ecclesia semper reformanda. They formed the basis for a much-needed reformation of the Christian church projected by Luther and others. Besides inspiring an important renewal of Christian life, however, the Reformation also occasioned the breakup of Western Christianity, which in turn justified religious wars, provided an anti-witness to Christian revelation, privatized the faith, and facilitated the secularization of society as a whole. On the occasion of the five hundredth anniversary of the Reformation, this book attempts to appropriate, situate, and to some degree reinterpret Luther's most precious and enduring insights on the basis of the above five principles, which come to mean that God's being and action must always come first. On the basis of Luther's writings, the book also attempts to consider how grace reaches out to freedom, faith to reason, Scripture to church tradition, Christ to ministry, church to mediation. God's being and action always come first, yet God's first gift, creation, and the mediations that derive from it are not undone or rendered irrelevant.  Free Download Robert B.
