This cultural analysis of the divine indwelling from the fourth through sixteenth centuries reverses the history of doctrine to venture doctrine as history. It discovers a fundamental disparity between domestic values and the exilic asceticism that once dominated western civilization.
Divine Domesticities: Christian Paradoxes in Asia and the Pacific fills a huge lacuna in the scholarly literature on missionaries in Asia/Pacific and is transnational history at its finest. Co-edited by two eminent scholars, this multidisciplinary volume, an outgrowth of several conferences/seminars, critically examines various encounters between western missionaries and indigenous women in the Pacific/Asia … Taken as a whole, this is a thought-provoking and an indispensable reference, not only for students of colonialism/imperialism but also for those of us who have an interest in transnational and gender history in general. The chapters are very clearly written, engaging, and remarkably accessible; the stories are compelling and the research is thorough. The illustrations are equally riveting and the bibliography is extremely useful. —Theodore Jun Yoo, History Department, University of Hawai’i The editors of this collection of papers have done an excellent job of creating a coherent set of case studies that address the diverse impacts of missionaries and Christianity on ‘domesticity’, and therefore on the women and children who were assumed to be the rightful inhabitants of that sphere … The introduction to the volume is beautifully written and sets up the rest of the volume in a comprehensive way. It explains the book’s aim to advance theoretical and methodological issues by exploring the role of missionary encounters in the development of modern domesticities; showing the agency of indigenous women in negotiating both change and continuity; and providing a wide range of case studies to show ‘breadth and complexity’ and the local and national specificities of engagements with both missionaries and modernity. My view is that all three aims are well and truly fulfilled. —Helen Lee, Head, Sociology and Anthropology, La Trobe University, Melbourne
Raising Jesus from the grave changed everything for all people for all time. This most profound act of God sealed a divine trilogy of events which would provide entree to the divine life Jesus previously claimed He would make available. Now seated beside God's throne, Jesus is the first man ever to be born from the realm of the dead. He is referred to as "the second Adam" and as such, is the progenitor of a new race of people who have fled the influence of the first Adam. Now in a flesh-and-bone body, Jesus identifies all who embrace him as of the same origin and therefore are made one with him. In this union is revealed the mystery of God and of the Christ. Indeed, we are now seen from heaven's balcony as the righteousness of God, even as, heaven's citizenry. He is no longer ashamed to be called our God, as one with Christ we have become part of the divine family. A trove of Scripture taken from the original languages and nuanced for proper context reveal the great heart of God as the existent One who will provide for man's atonement, the jealous One who will not share his glory with another and the loving Father who faithfully attends the work of his hands. Sometimes angry, sometimes jealous, but always patient until the fullness of time was come when He would send forth his Son, the only son of God ever to be born of a woman. In his book, Maragia challenges all who are dissatisfied with religion's paradigms to look beyond contemporary apologetics that view Biblical Psychology as a panacea. He marks the seating of Christ as the event that triggered the promise of God to indwell a tribe of people, about whom he said, "I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and a Father to them, and they shall be my sons and daughters." From the time the breath of the Almighty filled the lungs of the first man, the great Jehovah has shown his desire be intimate with the work of his hands.

This book probes beneath modern scientific and sentimental concepts of the heart to discover its past mysteries. Historical hearts evidenced essential aspects of human existence that still endure in modern thought and experience of political community, psychological mentality, and physical vitality. Marjorie O’Rourke Boyle revises ordinary assumptions about the heart with original interdisciplinary research on religious beliefs and theological and philosophical ideas. Her book uncovers the thought of Aristotle, William Harvey, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and John Calvinas it relates to the heart. It analyzes Augustine’s outlaw heart in cultural deviance from biblical law; Aquinas’s problematic argument for the permanence of the natural law in the heart; and Calvin’s advocacy for an affective heart re-created by the Spirit from its fallen nature. This book of cultural anatomies is the climax of her dozen years of publications on the heart.
This book tells the story of journeys that I had to take in my life, to find out who I am. And why I am here. Many have gone through life and unfortunately many have departed not knowing the answers to these questions. But I have discovered the answers, everything that I need and also you is right inside of us. Jesus said the Father and I are one. When you look at Jesus, you see the Lord He is God. And he is inside of me. Therefore I am no longer me, I am God. And I am here to create on Earth. I am possesing the land.
This book reconstructs John Wyclif's whole discourse on dominion in community by rereading his notorious works, and restores his fame and integrity as a serious and original thinker, 'Christ's lawyer, ' and the law giver of the English nation at the dawn of Reformation.
The book investigates and interprets the influence of the political theology of Heinrich Bullinger and Peter Martyr Vermigli in mid-Tudor England and especially on the theory, implementation, and consolidation of the Elizabethan constitutional and religious settlement of 1559.
This volume deals with the Federal theology of Johannes Cocceius, who lived in the seventeenth century (1603-1669). German by birth, he taught at Bremen, Franeker and Leiden, where he was Professor of Theology (1650-1669). As foremost biblical interpreter he sought to formulate a Covenant theory which described all of human history by introducing the structure of consecutive covenants or foedera. The book poses a surprising alternative to the readings of earlier scholarship on Cocceius by its careful presentation of the pneumatological components of the doctrine of covenants. Cocceius' Federal theology was of considerable importance in the theological and political history of Europe and the United States and formes the framework for much of the Reformed theology in the past three centuries.
What is meant by knowing God? By sounding the work of John Calvin and Karl Barth as mirrors of reflection and experience, justice is done to the tension between the premodern and postkantian situation and a stimulus is given for a contemporary position.
