Orthodox Christian theology is often presented as the direct inheritor of the doctrine and tradition of the early Church. But continuity with the past is only part of the truth; it would be false to conclude that the eastern section of the Christian Church is in any way static. Orthodoxy, building on its patristic foundations, has blossomed in the modern period. This volume focuses on the way Orthodox theological tradition is understood and lived today. It explores the Orthodox understanding of what theology is: an expression of the Church's life of prayer, both corporate and personal, from which it can never be separated. Besides discussing aspects of doctrine, the book portrays the main figures, themes and developments that have shaped Orthodox thought. There is particular focus on the Russian and Greek traditions, as well as the dynamic but less well-known Antiochian tradition and the Orthodox presence in the West.

Life is your faithful servant, but if not subdued it can become a terrible master. It all depends on whether you're being a creature of creation, or if you are only reacting to creation. One creates an ideal desire, while the other perpetuates unwanted life events. This book will interpret the story of creation, which is the life changing truth for all.The beginning you read about was only a development and was not necessarily a commencement. It was the beginning of time and the creation of matter; but it wasn't the origin of life. What we call the Big bang was just a life changing event, from which mankind now seeks redemption. Creation is a replicable process, that is being performed by you in ways you're not even aware of. Inside these chapters, you will discover the answer to many of life's questions, including those of life itself. Some have the knowledge while others have the understanding; both are the forebearer of wisdom.The YouManual is a metaphysical arbiter, a non-fictional series of books to help you better understand your own Being. It is believed that if you can master yourself, you can create your own destiny. Why allow your future to be determined by fate, leave nothing to chance. You have everything you will ever need present inside you to create, because you too are a creator.The thoughts presented are reflective of the scriptures, not as physical actions but your own mental states; but remains aligned with its motivated purpose. To have knowledge of what is, what was and what will be; will allow you to better understand the visible world and the world that is not yet made visible. We can only comprehend within the limits of our thoughts, and discuss amidst what the adequacy of our language permits. But your ability to perceive doesn't determine all that is, and this will open your mind and excite your body. Knowledge is infinite, what you know to be true is only true to the extent of the knowledge that you have. What you now know may be right, but what you don't know about it could also make it wrong. What good is having knowledge if you lack the understanding of what it is, and what value is it to understand if you don't have the knowledge to know what it means. To have both is wisdom, and in that is the truth that will set you free.

This book examines the question of what parental obligations procreators incur by bringing children into being. Prusak argues that parents, as procreators, have obligations regarding future children that constrain the liberty of would-be parents to do as they wish. Moreover, these obligations go beyond simply respecting a child’s rights. He addresses in turn the ethics of adoption, child support, gamete donation, surrogacy, prenatal genetic enhancement, and public responsibility for children.

Discover the astonishing evidence for intelligent design in this New York Times bestselling book by award-winning journalist Lee Strobel. "My road to atheism was paved by science . . . but, ironically, so was my later journey to God," Strobel says. During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was obsolete, a belief that colored his journalism career. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant--or so Strobel thought. But today science points in a different direction. A diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost, as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present compelling evidence in The Case for a Creator. Also available: The Case for a Creator small group video study and study guide, Spanish edition, kids' edition, student edition, and more.
