Investigating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ by Andrew LokeĪll right, let’s say we can prove God exists.They also pithily debunk the most common atheistic arguments against God’s existence. Two of the most important chapters in the book outline in great detail how we can know from nature that a being exists with divine attributes (rather than a mysterious first cause). Instead, he crafts new formulations of overlooked ancient arguments, like Aristotle’s argument from motion and Augustine’s argument from universals. Feser’s work, in contrast, defends the long-held classical theistic view of God as being not just one super-powered being among many, but being itself.įeser’s arguments aren’t just warmed-over popular apologetic material, either. Some critiques of atheism rely on either flawed theological views of God or superficial arguments for God’s existence. Feser’s book does an excellent job of presenting novel, sophisticated arguments against atheism. The foundation of our faith is the existence of God. Five Proofs for the Existence of God by Edward Feser.After recommending spiritual books and practices to keep God at the center of our lives, as well as the Catechism and Scripture, I recommend the following five books as being the most efficient way to develop a firm defense of the foundational components of our Catholic faith. People often ask me what books they should read in order to grow in Catholic apologetics. They fell to arguing among themselves the argument became a quarrel, and the quarrel grew more and more bitter, and each called upon the assembled guests to judge between them. Aphrodite only smiled, and asked who had a better claim to beauty's prize than the goddess of beauty herself. Athene claimed that she had the better right, for the beauty of wisdom such as hers surpassed all else. Hera claimed it as wife to Zeus, the All-father, and queen of all the gods. Then the three greatest of the goddesses each claimed that it was hers. The apple lay gleaming among the piled fruits and the brimming wine cups and bending close to look at it, everyone could see the words "To the fairest" traced on its side. Then she breathed upon the guests once, and vanished. Many guests came to their wedding feast, and among the mortal guests came all the gods of high Olympus.īut as they sat feasting, one who had not been invited was suddenly in their midst: Eris, the goddess of discord, had been left out because wherever she went she took trouble with her yet here she was, all the same, and in her blackest mood, to avenge the insult.Īll she did-it seemed a small thing-was to toss down on the table a golden apple. In the high and far-off days when men were heroes and walked with the gods, Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, took for his wife a sea nymph called Thetis, Thetis of the Silver Feet.

Whether painful, funny, or matter-of-fact, these plain-spoken accounts will move and educate any reader, gay or not, from farm or city. In the spring of 1992, Milwaukee writer Will Fellows began interviewing 75 gay. Farm Boys undermines that cliché by telling the stories of more than three dozen gay men, ranging in age from 24 to 84, who grew up in farm families in the midwestern United States. A Vermont Production of 'Farm Boys' Explores Gay Rural Life By Ken Picard Published Jat 10:00 a.m. Details Abstract / Summary Homosexuality is often seen as a purely urban experience, far removed from rural and small-town life. Finding that social security comes up short, often underwater on mortgages, these invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans, forming a growing community of nomads: migrant laborers who call themselves “workampers.” From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans. Since the beginning of what came to be known as the 'Palestinian Question' at the beginning of the 20th century, the conflict fundamentally altered meanings, images, and identities of the self and the other of the parties involved. This article focuses on the politics of reading the Bible by neo-Zionists and examines the theology of the messianic current which embraces the paradigm of Jews as a divinely 'chosen people' and sees the indigenous Palestinians as no more than illegitimate squatters, and a threat to the process of messianic redemption their human and civil rights are no match for the biblically-ordained holy war of conquering and settling the 'Promised Land'. article argues that, with the rise of messianic Zionism since 1967, a Jewish theology of zealotocracy, based on the land traditions of the Bible, has emerged in Israel - a political theology that demanded the destruction of the so-called modern Canaanites since 1967 fundamentalist rabbis have routinely compared the Palestinian people to the ancient Canaanites, Philistines and Amalekites, whose annihilation or expulsion by the ancient Israelites was predestined by a divine design. The mega narratives of the Bible, however, appeared to mandate the ethnic cleansing and even genocide of the indigenous population of Canaan. The book of Joshua and other biblical texts evoking the exploits of ancient Israelites have been deployed in support of secular Zionism and settler colonisation in Palestine. In modern times, a whole range of colonial enterprises have used the Bible. But one game no one planned intrudes on his party-the game of murder. Brendan has a lot of party games planned.
