Short-Reads: Awaken Jezebel Plasma Duality Space Jam Why I Write The True Enemy Spirochete Pacifist The Charter

Billions of people across the world and across time have followed the words of this ancient book. Countless numbers have died defending it. Even today, in the 21st century heated debates are fought every day over the truth which lies within. Great thinkers and intellectuals have seen something of pure wisdom and truth in it and others simply see it as an historical document, written by people from a different time and place.

Vista, udito, tatto, gusto, olfatto. La fisicità della divinità deve essere presa alla lettera. Erri De Luca e Gennaro Matino vanno dritti alla sostanza della lingua sacra. Perché le scritture per parlarci devono adottare vie di comunicazione a noi familiari. Gli apostoli vedono Dio, lo toccano, sentono la sua voce, ne percepiscono il profumo, condividono il pane nell'ultima cena.

Es ist das brisante Thema unserer Zeit. Christen, die Kirche und die Bibel scheinen mit der modernen Haltung zur Homosexualität nicht im Einklang zu stehen. Und es gibt eine wachsende Feindseligkeit gegenüber denen, die die moderne Sicht nicht teilen. Ist Gott etwa homophob? Und was sagen wir zu Christen und Nichtchristen, die sich vom gleichen Geschlecht angezogen fühlen? Sam Allberry weiß, wovon er spricht. Mit diesem kurzen, leicht verständlichen Hörbuch möchte er verunsicherten Christen helfen zu verstehen, was Gott dazu in der Bibel gesagt hat.

Elizabethan Demonology: An Essay in Illustration of the Belief in the Existence of Devils, and the Powers Possessed By Them, as It Was Generally Held during the Period of the Reformation, and the Times Immediately Succeeding; with Special Reference to Shakespeare and His Works This Essay is an expansion, in accordance with a preconceived scheme, of two papers, one on The Witches in Macbeth, and the other on The Demonology of Shakespeare, which were read before the New Shakespeare Society in the years 1877 and 1878.

Dio è nostro Padre, Creatore del cielo, della Terra e dell’intero Universo. Nostro Padre è onnipotente. Non può essere meglio. Non possiamo avere un Padre migliore. Siamo fortunati. Dio abita in noi! Siamo portatori di Dio! Però! Dio non è Padre soltanto dei cristiani, ma di tutti gli uomini della Terra. Vero! Verissimo! Tutti siamo figli di Dio, ma non tutti siamo consapevoli di questa bella notizia! Se avessimo la consapevolezza come un granello di senape, che è piccolissimo come dice il Vangelo, potremmo spostare le montagne.

My adventure started one day as I considered writing a fiction story using Heaven as the main stage. You know - bright lights, angels, and wonderful people living in pleasant villages. That was the beginning of an adventure that would be 60 pages of scribbled wonder. So I could write about Heaven, I decided to ask God to allow me to visit there. Putting it mildly, going to Heaven would steal away my breath. Since the visit in 1991 my thinking and outlook on life changed me. I was already a Christian - but this was different.

Il popolo Ebreo era disperso in tutto il mondo, vivendo in diaspora. E per tutti questi anni, vivendo nelle terre straniere tra le culture e le religioni diverse, non ha perso la fede, la propria cultura e le tradizioni. 1878 anni sono tanti per dimenticare l`appartenenza nazionale. Gli Ebrei no! Non vi sembra una cosa eccezionale?

Queste undici conferenze, tenute a Oslo nel 1910, in origine non erano destinate alla pubblicazione, né furono riviste da Steiner, per cui lui stesso mette in guardia contro la possibilità di errori.

L'Abbé de Lamennais était tourné vers une pensée chrétienne tolérante et libérée. Il était même qualifié de révolutionnaire. Paroles d'un croyant, qui fut sévèrement condamné par l'Église, en appelle d'ailleurs à l'insurrection contre l'injustice au nom de l'Évangile.

Friends, the next voice you hear might be God's! Wouldn't it be wonderful if this were true? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could hear the Voice of God? And perhaps we can. Perhaps we all have heard the Voice of God but haven't recognized it.

Depuis son enfance au milieu des plus pauvres, une conviction habitait le père Joseph Wresinski : le chrétien naît le regard tourné vers le plus misérable ; l'Église, c'est les pauvres, réellement. Là où l'homme le plus méprisé est oublié, l'humanité est cassée, l'Église absente, le Christ bafoué. Cette interview réalisé par Gilles Anouil, ancien rédacteur en chef de Preuves et rédacteur en chef adjoint de Réalités montre bien comment le message du père Joseph, sa vie personnelle et la création du mouvement ATD Quart-monde ont été intimement mêlés. En même temps il fait toucher du doigt à quel point on peut ignorer l'existence et l'ampleur de la grande pauvreté.

The view of Christ in America has changed rapidly since the nation's birth.

On constate actuellement que l'évolution des sociétés s'accompagne d'une perte de référence à la transcendance ; l'hédonisme ambiant, l'esprit libertaire, les découvertes biologiques et technologiques, les nouveaux modèles économiques et sociaux conduisant à un individualisme destructeur de l'humanisme. Où cela nous mènera-t-il ?

Mittels ihrer Religion richten Menschen ihr Leben an Konzepten eines "sinngebenden Ganzen" aus. Diese in sehr langen Traditionen entstandenen Welterklärungen und Anleitungen zur Lebensbewältigung werden in der westlichen Welt aufgrund christlicher und humanistischer Traditionen häufig mit der Kurzformel "Glaube" zusammengefasst...

An American journalist named Ben Harris, who works for Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), is traveling the world in search of stories about Jews in their various communities.

Bernardo di Chiaravalle, (1090-1153) in questo breve scritto illustra quello che era il suo percorso verso l’umiltà, perché “la strada del’umiltà e della superbia non sono due, ma una stessa; che viene percorsa o in discesa o in salita”, e quindi, inveitabilmente, conoscendo i gradi della superbia si capiranno quelli che portano i passi nella direzione opposta, quella dell’umiltà. Cornice musicale: improvvisazione su “Regina Coeli” di Theo Flury.
