Showing results for "Planets" in Christianity

Most of us remember the basics from science classes about how Earth came to be the only known planet that sustains complex life. But what most people don't know is that the more thoroughly researchers investigate the history of our planet, the more astonishing the story of our existence becomes. The number and complexity of the astronomical, geological, chemical, and biological features recognized as essential to human existence have expanded explosively within the past decade.

For over half a century, scholars have labored to show that C. S. Lewis' famed but apparently disorganized Chronicles of Narnia have an underlying symbolic coherence, pointing to such possible unifying themes as the seven sacraments, the seven deadly sins, and the seven books of Spenser's Faerie Queene. None of these explanations has won general acceptance, and the structure of Narnia's symbolism has remained a mystery.

Years before he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis published another fantastical fiction series: the Ransom Trilogy. Yet these three novels – Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength – have never enjoyed the same widespread popularity as Narnia or any of Lewis’s apologetical works, whether in mainstream culture or among Christians.

In this fresh creative approach to theology, Elizabeth Johnson asks how we can understand cosmic redemption in a time of advancing ecological devastation. In effect, how can we extend the core Christian belief in salvation to include all created beings? Immediately this question runs into a formidable obstacle: the idea that Jesus's death on the cross was required as atonement for human sin-a theology laid out by the 11th-century theologian St. Anselm.

Come on, be honest.... You’d love to know when Jesus Christ will return to planet earth, wouldn’t you? But unfortunately, you’ve been told your whole life that’s impossible to know. You’ve had the phrase “no man knows the day or hour” pounded into your ears continually in an effort to convince you God never prophesied anything about the time of Christ’s return. Well, would you believe you’ve been lied to your whole life?

This easy-to-understand book describes what happened to planet Earth during and after the 371 days that Noah and seven others remained secure inside the ark. They left behind a one-continent world and landed in a newly shattered world, the one great land mass having been ripped apart into the continents we know today. Stones and bones tell the story.

Fruitful is an honest, Spirit-helping (not self-helping) journey into why. With her signature blend of raw vulnerability and deeply rooted theology, Bestselling author Hayley DiMarco invites you into the messy, beautiful work of letting the Holy Spirit cultivate what your striving never could. Through Scripture, reflection, and a surprising dose of brain science, she shows how God grows real fruit—in conflict, in waiting, in imperfection, and even in the overgrown places we’d rather avoid.

The next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy.

In Green Like God, Jonathan Merritt gently and insightfully observes that the Creator has a lot to say about environmental problems like unclean water, mindless materialism, wastefulness, over consumption, and pollution. In fact, Jonathan writes that "in the book of Genesis, God went green and never looked back." Relying heavily on the Scriptures, Jonathan gives the case for green living, but not because it's trendy and hip.
