We are living in a very interesting and unique time in human history. The pace of change of technology and of our society as a whole is dizzying, perhaps even disorienting. With the rise of artificial intelligence and the decoding of the human genome, we stand at the threshold of paradigm-shifting discoveries and innovation that may redefine what it means to be human. This is an era defined by tension and infighting between the spheres of science and religion. Indeed, this has been a dominant trend since the nineteenth century. For many modern rational thinkers, the wisdom of our religious traditions has become outmoded and ought be relegated to the dustbins of history. Despite this, the human heart continues to long for the profound, the meaningful, and the sacred—things our spiritual heritage has typically provided. Cosmic Christianity aims to salvage what is most valuable about these sacred traditions while simultaneously integrating them with more modern trends that center on technological advances and artificial intelligence. Moreover it will create a novel synthesis between the values of humanism and mysticism. Apart from this, Cosmic Christianity aims to integrate the wisdom of every imaginable spiritual tradition. From traditional Eastern and Western religions to esoteric, new age, astrology and spiritualism, an all embracing framework is created that comfortably houses all perspectives. Finally, it sets forth a proposal for the origin of God and the universe. You will be inspired and made to ponder by Cosmic Christianity.

Many books have discussed the development of the notion of God in Western monotheistic traditions, but how have non-Western cultures conceptualized what those in the West might identify as "God"? What might be learned by comparing different visions of the Divine, such as God, gods, Brahman, Nirvana, and Emptiness? James L. Ford engages these fascinating questions, exploring notions of "the Divine" or "Ultimate Reality" within Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions. Looking at a multiplicity of divine conceptions, even within traditions, Ford discusses the relationship between imagination and revelation in the emergence of visions of ultimacy; consequences and tendencies associated with particular notions of the Ultimate; and how new visions of the Ultimate arise in relation to social, cultural, political, and scientific developments. Ford reflects on what can be learned through an awareness of the various beliefs about the Ultimate and on how such disparate visions influence the attitudes and behavior of people in different parts of the world.

In this seminal work, Frei considers the concepts of Jesus' identity and presence, maintaining that the logic of Christian faith requires that we begin with identity, not presence. Drawing on Ryles' philosophy, Frei argues that a person isÓ primarily what they say or do. Hence, theologians should not look for Jesus' essence by looking past the stories but must look to the stories themselves.

This is a book about Jesus of Nazareth. It is not a book about "story," nor about "narrative theology." Hans Frei was not a theologian of story or of narrative in any general way, and this book is neither about the narrative quality of our existence and the gospel's relation to that quality, nor about the narrative shape of the Scriptures as a whole and the call on us to place ourselves within that narrative. Rather, this is a book about the way in which Jesus of Nazareth's identity is rendered by the Gospels--largely the Synoptic Gospels, particularly the Gospel of Luke, and especially in the passion and resurrection sequences--by means of a certain kind of narrative. --from the Foreword by Mike Higton

In Cosmology and Fate in Gnosticism and Graeco-Roman Antiquity, Nicola Denzey Lewis dismisses Hans Jonas' mischaracterization of second-century Gnosticism as a philosophically-oriented religious movement built on the perception of the cosmos as negative or enslaving. A focused study on the concept of astrological fate in “Gnostic” writings including the Apocryphon of John, the recently-discovered Gospel of Judas, Trimorphic Protennoia, and the Pistis Sophia, this book reexamines their language of “enslavement to fate (Gk: heimarmene)” from its origins in Greek Stoicism, its deployment by the apostle Paul, to its later use by a variety of second-century intellectuals (both Christian and non-Christian). Denzey Lewis thus offers an informed and revisionist conceptual map of the ancient cosmos, its influence, and all those who claimed to be free of its potentially pernicious effects.
