El profesor de Iowa State University, Dr. Héctor Avalos, ha escrito muchos libros revisados por pares acádemicos, pero su primer libro "¿Se Puede Saber Si Dios Existe?" fue escrito solamente en español. El libro es un manual sobre la crítica bíblica y los problemas clave en la religión y la filosofía. El libro pretende ser una introducción a estos argumentos dedicado a hispanohablantes con poca o ninguna formación científica previa en el área.

As subjective individual beings, we strive to understand our place within the objective universe. The historical narrative of mankind reveals the rigidness of individual bias. By understanding the journey of ourselves, in mass, we begin to fully appreciate the confines of our own existence. To such a degree that our ancient ancestors began to unveil the quantifiable qualities of nature's most fundamental nature - revelations that operate by the rationale of introspection.

This book touches on certain dynamics regarding the theoretical and cultural basis of the model Fethullah Gülen has developed based on dialogue, tolerance, and concurrence among groups that come from different religions, cultures, and civilizations. Gülen's model focuses on human beings, those who surround all their world with thought and action, and who are directed toward love for God and for creation.

Medicine for the Heart is a guide to the extraordinary richness of Scripture seen through Kierkegaard's eyes. He wrote about Scripture as none other, a literature of surpassing artistry and rare moral power. Kierkegaard described a new believer who discovered that life was beautiful, that it was a new gloriousness of faith that no human being can give to another, but that every human being has what is highest, noblest, and most sacred in humankind. It is original in him, and every human being has it if he wants to have it.

In this book, you’ll learn vital principles that will help you get answers from God when you need them. I promise your prater life will never be the same.- Pastor David Blunt

Does science have all the answers? Can it even deal with abstract reasoning that reaches beyond the world experienced by us? How can we be so sure that the physical world is sufficiently ordered to be intelligible to humans? How is it that mathematics, a product of human minds, can unlock the secrets of the physical universe? Are all such questions to be ruled out as inadmissible if science cannot settle them? Metaphysics has traditionally been understood as reasoning beyond the reach of science, sometimes even claiming realities that are beyond its grasp.

When you ask people the question, you usually get many different answers. Some see God as an authoritarian leader or dictator, others see Him as aloof and distant. Still, others see Him as a father figure concerned with even the smallest details of their lives. Whatever your view of God may be, it matters. In God is For You, David Blunt explains that in order for God to do the good things He wants to do in your life, you must have the right perspective of Him.

Who is Jesus Christ? In The Third Jesus, best-selling author and spiritual leader Deepak Chopra provides an answer to this question that is both a challenge to current systems of belief and a fresh perspective on what Jesus can teach us all, regardless of our religious background. There is not one Jesus, Chopra explains, but three.

Jack Call gives a detailed account of what his life was like during the years from 1972 through 1978, as a follower of Art Kleps, the Chief Boo Hoo of the Neo-American Church, whose members subscribe to the belief that psychedelics such as LSD are sacraments, in that they encourage the realization that life is a dream. This true story has many surprising twists and turns, but ends, predictably in hindsight, in disillusionment.

Is man's sole impulse the securing of his own approval? Do we love God or do we just love God's frequent-prayer program? Is what we call self-sacrifice really self-delusion? What's the Christian amount to tip a waiter? A spirited and passionate discussion.

Many individuals are not aware that there is a God. I am here to tell you, there is truly a God. God found me broken, in pain, and fragile. I almost lost my life at the hands of a violent partner in 2018 and then, after that, I was sexually assaulted as an adult-keep in mind I had been sexually assaulted by two individuals when I was eight. However, God spoke to me and told me to remember to never give up. And, because of my faith in God, I did not give up, and I will never give up.

It's no mystery how profound a role Galileo played in the Scientific Revolution. Less explored is the Italian innovator's sincere, guiding faith in God. In this exhaustively researched biography that unfolds like a page-turning novel, Mitch Stokes draws on his expertise in philosophy, logic, math, and science to attune modern ears with Galileo's controversial genius. Journey through Galileo's remarkable life: from his inquisitive childhood to his dying days, when, although blind and decrepit, he soldiered on, dictating mathematical thoughts and mentoring young proteges.

How did science replace God and deceive the whole world? How did math replace God and deceive all of us? There’s an entire hidden history that reveals how science and math usurped God, but it’s a history that has never been told. Christians and pastors are generally unaware of this history. It's time to address this issue, because many have tried to eliminate God entirely from the discussion of creation, and expunge God as the cause of all that has been created in the heavens and on earth. The driving force of this new thrust to usurp God entirely from existence and from all possible ...

In Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, the narrator offers a memorably brief account of his mother’s death: 'picnic, lightning'. Picnic Comma Lightning similarly opens with the death of Laurence Scott's parents, and the definitive ending of their death raises for him one fundamental question: how much of what we live through is truly real? With humour and insight, Scott transforms this personal meditation on loss into an exploration of what it means to exist in the world now.

Why do we divide the world, the human being and the divine? Do good and evil really exist or are they simply conditioned points of view? Is there a permanent ‘me’. Is there in me a place where there is no corruption, where there is real, absolute peace, order? Are the various scriptures of India and the Middle East similar to or in contradiction to your teaching? Is there any connection between the supernatural and religion?

Innerhalb der intellektuellen Entwicklung Steiners nimmt seine Schrift über die Mystik von 1901 - zusammen mit der Zwillingsschrift "Das Christentum als mystische Tatsache" eine zentrale Stellung ein. Sie dokumentiert den Übergang des Philosophen Steiner zum Mystiker und Esoteriker und steht somit im Brennpunkt aktueller Forschungskontroversen, etwa um die Kontinuität von Steiners intellektueller Entwicklung, um die "Christlichkeit" der Anthroposophie oder um die Abhängigkeit Steiners von der anglo-indischen Theosophie.
