The book, from the Chicago Social Brain Network, is the result of an extraordinary ongoing conversation among a group of highly respected scientists, physicians, philosophers, and theologians. Together, they share profound insights into the deepest questions humans ask and explore the invisible forces and powerful beliefs that shape our lives. Their insights reflect both humanity's latest science and its most enduring wisdom. Their answers and questions will challenge readers and reward them with a richer understand of who we are, what we share, and what it means. What do we really know about human nature?

Where do you end, and others begin? What do marriage, family, and friendship mean? How can people repair the broken connections that keep them lonely?

The new science of belief: what science is learning about the close interrelationships between belief, behavior, and human health. People have many sources of information, knowledge, and understanding. We consider the most common to be empirically acquired--learned facts, relations, associations, and perceptual and motor skills. These are powerful determinants of thought and behavior. But other sources of information and knowledge also affect our interaction with the environment, including reflex-like circuits that are independent of explicit learning.

This Element is an excerpt from Invisible Forces and Powerful Beliefs: Gravity, Gods, and Minds (9780137075454) by the Chicago Social Brain Network. Available in print and digital formats. How do people understand others’ minds…God’s, yours, anyone’s? Shortly after taking off from LaGuardia, the engines of US Airways Flight 1549 failed. The pilots glided onto the Hudson River, where all the passengers were rescued. Explained one passenger, “God was certainly looking out for us.” To psychologists, such statements reveal one of the social brain’s most impressive capacities--the ability to “see” what other minds see.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAngels, Spirits, principalities, powers, gods, Satanthese, along with all other spiritual realities, are the unmentionables of our culture. The dominant materialistic worldview has absolutely no place for them. But materialism itself is terminally ill, and, let us hope, in process of replacement by a worldview capable of honoring the lasting values of modern science without succumbing to reductionism. Therefore, we find ourselves returning to the ancient traditions, searching for wisdom wherever it may be found. We do not capitulate to the past and its superstitions, but bring all the gifts our race has acquired along the way as aids in recovering the lost language of our souls. In Naming the Powers I developed the thesis that the New Testament's principalities and powers is a generic category referring to the determining forces of physical, psychic, and social existence. In the present volume we will be focusing on just seven of the Powers mentioned in Scripture. Their selection out of all the others dealt with in Naming the Powers is partly arbitrary: they happen to be ones about which I felt I had something to say. But they are also representative, and open the way to comprehending the rest. They are: Satan, demons, angels of churches, angels of nations, gods, elements, and angels of nature.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKathryn Tanner is undoubtedly one of the most important contemporary North American theologians. From landmark studies in systematic and constructive theology to economics, Tanner’s work is a contribution of inestimable value, hallmarked by its depth, precision, provocativeness, and grace. Unifying the immense scope of her work is the particular vision of God’s self-gift: an internal, dynamic, communal reality that is expressed outward in acts of love and generosity that are creation, incarnation, and capacious life in the Spirit. This vision, as the grounding matrix of Tanner’s theology, has been extended beyond the disciplinary boundaries of theology in constructive explorations of economics, social and political theory, cultural studies, and ethics. This volume celebrates the vision and breadth of Tanner’s unique contribution. Essays by established scholars, colleagues, and former students trace out the key loci and themes, from theological method, the Trinity, Christology, creation, to economics, environmental and social ethics, and politics, to generate constructive and ecumenical conversation that presents Tanner as an important, contemporary public theologian.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJesus said in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." There are two forces in this world. One is of God the creator of all things and the other one is of Satan, who is not a creator but an adversary of God. We are all being created in the image of God, but because of our forefathers Adam and Eve obeyed to Satan, the sin entered into this world. So Satan took control of this world and brought all kinds of misery, heartache, sickness, disease, and death to mankind. In reality, the real person is the spirit man. Those who do not know the Word of God fall into the trap of Satan and think that they are inherited the sickness, disease, anger, and all the fallen nature from their forefathers and they try to live with it. Jesus bore all the sickness, disease, curses and death bore upon Himself so that we can live victoriously (John 10:10). Satan attacks the people in their soul, mind and body. Jesus has given the believers the authority and power over the forces of darkness, the Satan. One of the root cause for emotional and physical problem is the Spiritual problem. Human beings are comprised of three components, such as spirit, soul (mind, emotion, and will) and body. To be made whole it is important to deal with the root cause. If a tree has a problem, in order to bear good fruit, the root needs to be treated and not the surface. Similarly, people facing emotional and physical problems need to diagnose the root cause, in the soulish realm, and not just the outward symptoms. People can receive the healing for the whole person by the power of the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus and by the authority of the Word of God.
