Описание: By the election year of 1844, Joseph Smith, the controversial founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had amassed a national following of some 25,000 believers. Nearly half of them lived in the city of Nauvoo, Illinois, where Smith was not only their religious leader but also the mayor and the commander-in-chief of a militia of some 2,500 men. In less than twenty years, Smith had helped transform the American religious landscape and grown his own political power substantially. Yet the standing of the Mormon people in American society remained unstable. Unable to garner federal protection, and having failed to win the support of former president Martin Van Buren or any of the other candidates in the race, Smith decided to take matters into his own hands, launching his own bid for the presidency. While many scoffed at the notion that Smith could come anywhere close to the White House, others regarded his run�and his religion�as a threat to the stability of the young nation. Hounded by mobs throughout the campaign, Smith was ultimately killed by one�the first presidential candidate to be assassinated. Though Joseph Smith's run for president is now best remembered�when it is remembered at all�for its gruesome end, the renegade campaign was revolutionary. Smith called for the total abolition of slavery, the closure of the country's penitentiaries, and the reestablishment of a national bank to stabilize the economy. But Smith's most important proposal was for an expansion of protections for religious minorities. At a time when the Bill of Rights did not apply to individual states, Smith sought to empower the federal government to protect minorities when states failed to do so. Spencer W. McBride tells the story of Joseph Smith's quixotic but consequential run for the White House and shows how his calls for religious freedom helped to shape the American political system we know today.

Описание:
Have you wondered what "faith" is? What it does? What its effects are? Or why it is at the heart of every major religion in the world? Well, you're not alone. Millions of people worldwide sense there is something very important about faith, and are asking these questions and more.
Originally composed in 1835, this amazing little book called Lectures on Faith provides powerful, inspiring and timeless answers to questions of faith for all truth seekers everywhere.
Lectures on Faith is a kind of handbook that digs deeper to unlock faith based mysteries and miracles from heaven, expanding the reader's understanding of one of the most important - yet misunderstood - foundations of spirituality. Of particular interest and value to Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Latter Day Saint Mormon, Fundamentalist and even non-denominational sects, whether or not they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, Lectures on Faith restores foundational understanding of faith and spirituality that have been neglected, pushed aside, and forgotten. Its objective is to teach the reader what faith is, the object(s) upon which it rests, and the effects that flow from it. It establishes a foundation for discussing and understanding saving faith in Bible prophecy and other scriptures, inspiring readers to look more deeply into hope, grace and faith.
We are beings filled with faith And yet we sometimes don't have the faith to see it. Why do people instinctively believe that heaven is for real? Why do they seek Jesus of Nazareth and the passion of the Christ? As in the days of Noah, there is need in our day to come out of darkness, and obtain hope and glory just like heaven. Do you believe fearless faith can move mountains? How is catching faith related to the kingdom of heaven, love and mercy?
Early 19th century visionary Joseph Smith taught that when rightly pursued, the inquiry into faith over fear results in glorious discoveries and eternal certainties. Seekers of truth will find their minds enlightened by the Holy Ghost, and their understanding of God and spirituality stretched and expanded in unexpected and delightful ways. From then until now, thousands of Christian documentaries have been produced, books written, and sermons preached about faith as it pertains to the pursuit of happiness, Noah and the flood, the miracle worker, the dynamics of spiritual life, and knowing Christ today. Yet, none is more powerful or sublime than this simple little book of Lectures on Faith.
The Restoration Edition of Lectures on Faith was painstakingly compiled from the original manuscripts, making it the most accurate edition ever published. Lectures on Faith brings powerful truths and eye-opening revelations about the nature of God, faith, and hope to any willing to read and consider its contents. This intriguing book is not available at Deseret Bookstore, yet it should be the companion of everyone searching for a deeper understanding of faith, adding depth and delicious new insights into those areas of spirituality that have been shrouded in mystery until now.
Topics discussed are relevant to keeping the faith and how to live by faith in an uncertain world, faith in nature, acts of faith, faith crisis, regaining faith, keeping faith, confession of faith, confident faith, unshakable faith, leap of faith, faith seeking action, courageous steps of faith, test of faith, rediscovering faith, unwavering faith, increasing faith, courageous faith, bedrock faith, faith as a mustard seed, and keeping faith in an age of reason. When used in conjunction with the Restoration Edition of the scriptures (also published by the Restoration Scriptures Foundation), a whole new world of personal growth and spiritual understanding awaits.
Since the original publication of this title, the twelfth-century Calabrian Abbot Joachim of Fiore has been accorded an increasingly central position in the history of medieval thought and culture. In this classic work Marjorie Reeves shows the wide extent of Joachimist influence from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries and demonstrates the continuity between medieval and Renaissance thought in the field of prophecy.
Reeves pinpoints some of the most original aspects of Joachim's theology of history and traces his reputation and influence through succeeding centuries. She also explains how his vision of a final age of the spirit in history became a powerful force in shaping expectations of the future in Western Europe. The book traces in detail the development of the three great images in which these expectations came to be focused: New Spiritual Men, Angelic Pope, and Last World Emperor. In addition, Reeves illuminates how the pervading influence of Joachim's concepts of a future golden age forms the basis for an understanding of prophetic visions in later centuries.

Описание:
This book brings the emerging fields of practical theology and theology of the arts into a dialogue beyond the bias of modern systematic and constructive theology. The authors draw upon postmodern, post-secular, feminist, liberation, and dialogical/dialectical philosophy and theology, and their critiques of the narrow modern emphases on reason and the scientific method, as the model for all knowledge. Such a practical theology of the arts focuses the work of theology on the actual practices that engage the arts in their various forms as the means of interpreting and understanding the nature of the communities and their members, as well as the mechanisms through which these communities engage in transformative work, to make persons and neighborhoods whole.
This book presents its theological claims through the careful analysis of several stories of communities around the world that have engaged in transformational practices through a specific art form, investigating communities from Europe, the Middle East, South America, and the U.S. The case studies explored include Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze, indigenous, and sometimes agnostic subjects, involved in visual art, music, dance, theatre, documentary film, and literature. Theology and the Arts demonstrates that the challenges of a postmodern and post-secular context require a fundamental rethinking of theology that focuses on discrete practices of faithful communities, rather than one-dimensional theories about religion.

Описание: Dale Andrews and Robert Smith combine the voices of constructive theologians, practical theologians, and those ministering in black churches to craft a rich and expansive black practical theology. Black Practical Theology brings together the hermeneutical conversation between scholars working within the traditional disciplines of theological education (systematic theology, ethics, biblical studies, history) and those scholars working within practical theology (homiletics, pastoral care and counseling, Christian education, spirituality). To this ongoing conversation, Andrews and Smith add the voices of pastors of black congregations and para-church leaders who serve the communities of faith who daily confront the challenges this work addresses - youth and intergenerational divides, education and poverty, gender and sexuality, globalism, health care, and incarceration and the justice system. Black Practical Theology sets the standard for practical theology. Embodying its own methodological call - to begin with the issues of the black church, as well as its resources and practices - it does not rest content but returns immediately to the communities from which it emerged. Black Practical Theology is a gift to both teacher and student.
