Synopsis Divine Nature and Human Language by : William P. Alston

Divine Nature and Human Language is a collection of twelve essays in philosophical theology by William P. Alston, one of the leading figures in the current renaissance in the philosophy of religion. Using the equipment of contemporary analytical philosophy, Alston explores, partly refashions, and defends a largely traditional conception of God and His work in the world a conception that finds its origins in medieval philosophical theology. These essays fall into two groups: those concerned with theological language (Part 1 of the volume) and those that deal with the nature, status, and activity of God (Parts II and HI). In Part 1, Alston develops a conceptual scheme for discussing the topic of theological language. He also argues that there is a core of literal talk about God and even a core of predicates univocally applicable to God and creatures. Furthermore, he shows that God can be referred to directly as well as descriptively. In Parts II and III, the author sketches out a middle way between a classical conception of God exemplified by Aquinas and the more recent “process” or “panentheist” conception exemplified by Hartshorne. Alston argues that such a God can act so as to have real effects in the world and can enter into genuine dialogue and otherwise interact with human beings. In addition, he defends the idea that God provides a foundation for morality. The first collection of Alston's ground breaking work in the philosophy of religion, Divine Nature and Human Language will be welcomed by scholars and students of the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, theology, and religious studies.

Synopsis The Language of God by : Francis Collins

Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

Synopsis Sharing in the Divine Nature by : Keith Ward

A defense of the New Testament view that all things are to be united in Christ, which entails that the ultimate destiny of the universe, and of all that is in it, is to be united in God. Keith Ward argues that this conflicts with classical ideas of God as simple, impassible, and changeless—ideas that many modern theologians espouse, and which Ward subjects to careful and critical scrutiny. He defends the claim that the cosmos contributes something substantial to—and in that way changes—the divine nature, and the cosmos is destined to manifest and express the essential creativity and relationality of a God of beatific, agapic, redemptive, and unitive love.

Synopsis Human Nature and the Divine Nature of God by : Charles Edward Price

About the Book Human Nature and the Devine Nature of God is a new dispensation of the scripture revealing new things about the Old Testament and The New Testament. A book of Rememberance It was prophesied by Malachi (3:16-18) that a book of remembrance would be written that would alow you to descern between righteousness and wickness, between one who serve God and one who does not serve him. Think you know right from wrong? think again! The promise of Christ Christ said,"These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father." (John 16:25) Christ spoke of the Father to the Jews saying, "Yet ye have not known him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a lie like unto you: But I know him, and keep his saying." (John.8:55) The time have come that all must know the Father and, this is the book that will plaimly identify the Father This promise was comfirmed through a prophesy to Jeremiah(31:34)saying.They shall teach no more every man his brother, saying know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest of them. Find out why the Ten Commandments was written on stone. Learn God's definitdion for Love, it will suprise and delight you, and much more. Christ came to do two things, and that was to fulfill the law and to fulfill all righteousness, Human nature and the devine nature of God will tell you how this was acccomplished. Christ changed the law, and gave us a new law, human nature and the divine nature of God will identify the change in the law and the new law and will identify Christ.s authority to change law and give new law. A bout the Author I am a layman not trained to conform to any specific church doctrine. The churches are divided in their consept of Christ and Chrisitanity, I believe that Christ is one and his doctrine is one. I have denied my self the influence and contamination of their doctrines in search of the true undefiled doctrine of Christ. I do not depend upon academic excellence, or human intellengence, to descern the scripture, only the grace of God. The things conatined in this book is not the product of human inventions, but by the spirit as it was revealed to me. Theology is the study of God and his doctrine, I do not study God. I do not have the intellectual copasity to study him.I depend upon him to reveal himself to me. A person may question my ability to reach God, but they can not question his ability to reach me, and I estsblish my relatdionship with him based upon this principle. I look at the world and I try to understand the reason for the condition that we face, we have the have and have nots, the oppressed and the oppressor, the compassionate and the apathetic, and why mankind is the most vicious and feared beast on earth. Every nation on earth have an army to protect mankind from himself, and yet the scripture state that man was created in the image of God, how can this be, if God was the embodiment of death nothing could live. I have listen to the local, national, and world leaders, educators, ministers and philosophers concerning these things, and their logic and reasoning all come down to complexity and confusion. I decided to seek the answere from God himself to find out what he had to say about the situation and the solution to the problem, and Human Nature and the Devine Nature of God is the answere I received, see what you think.

Synopsis All That Is in God by : James E. Dolezal

Unknown to many, increasing numbers of conservative evangelicals are denying basic tenets of classical Christian teaching about God, with departures occurring even among those of the Calvinistic persuasion. James E. Dolezal’s All That Is in God provides an exposition of the historic Christian position while engaging with these contemporary deviations. His convincing critique of the newer position he styles “theistic mutualism” is philosophically robust, systematically nuanced, and biblically based. It demonstrates the need to maintain the traditional viewpoint, particularly on divine simplicity, and spotlights the unfortunate implications for other important Christian doctrines—such as divine eternality and the Trinity—if it were to be abandoned. Arguing carefully and cogently that “all that is in God is God Himself,” the work is sure to stimulate debate on the issue in years to come.

God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word.

Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.
