The book also detailed his early work as a pioneering orthopedic surgeon at the cutting edge of world medicine. In Going Back, Munjed shares the extraordinary journey that his life-changing new surgical technique has taken him on. Through osseointegration, he implants titanium rods into the human skeleton and attaches robotic limbs, allowing patients genuine, effective, and permanent mobility. Munjed has performed this operation on hundreds of Australian civilians, wounded British soldiers who've lost legs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a survivor of the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand. But nothing has been as extraordinary as his return to Iraq after 18 years, at the invitation of the Iraqi government, to operate on soldiers, police, and civilian amputees wounded in the horrific war against ISIS. These stories are both heartbreaking and full of hope, and are told from the unique perspective of a refugee returning to the place of his birth as a celebrated international surgeon.  Emily Qureshi-Hurst, "God, Salvation, and the Problem of Spacetime " English | ISBN: 1009269585 | 2022 | 76 pages | PDF | 6 MB 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.  R. Douglass Geivett, "God's Super-Apostles: Encountering the Worldwide Prophets and Apostles Movement" English | ISBN: 1683591720 | 2018 | 176 pages | MOBI | 288 KB Gods Super-Apostles provides a concise entry-level overview of the key teachings and practices of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement.

Christopher Fisher, "God is Open: Examining the Open Theism of the Biblical Authors" English | ISBN: 1544141424 | 2017 | 504 pages | AZW3 | 497 KB The Bible was written by over 35 authors over the course of several millennia. What did these authors believe about God? Is Yahweh of the Bible the same God envisioned by modern Christianity? This book uses critical thinking skills to treat each author independently in order to reveal their individualized concepts of God. Did they believe in the Negative Attributes (aseity, simplicity, necessity, immutability, impassibility, eternity, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, etc.)?  Paul Moser, "God in Moral Experience: Values and Duties Personified" English | ISBN: 1009423150 | 2023 | 262 pages | PDF | 2 MB The Apostle Paul defined the moral values of love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness as 'the fruit of God's Spirit.' Paul Moser here argues that such values are character traits of an intentional God. When directly experienced, they can serve as evidence for the reality and goodness of such a God. Moser shows how moral conscience plays a key role in presenting intentional divine action in human moral experience. He explores this insight in chapters focusing on various facets of moral experience - regarding human persons, God, and theological inquiry, among other topics. His volume enables a responsible assessment of divine reality and goodness, without reliance on controversial arguments of natural theology. Clarifying how attention to moral experience can contribute to a limited theodicy for God and evil, Moser's study also acknowledges that the reality of severe evil does not settle the issue of God's existence and goodness.  Tyler Dalton McNabb, "God and Political Theory " English | ISBN: 1009269100 | 2022 | 56 pages | PDF | 6 MB How is God related to the state? Could the existence of robust political authority somehow be evidence for God? In this Element, the author explores these questions, pro and con, looking at various major positions. At the start of the volume, they defend a political argument for God's existence. Having motivated a theistic account of political authority, they then discuss the role God plays or could play in classical liberalism, Marxism, and postliberalism. While they sympathetically survey each political theory in turn, at the end of each section, they raise various objections to the view being discussed. Finally, at the end of the Element, the author articulates desiderata for theists who are looking for political frameworks. |
