Pastor and author Martin Thielen has compiled a list of ten things people need to believe, and ten things they don't, in order to be a Christian. This lively and engaging book will be a help to seekers as well as a comfort to believers who may find themselves questioning some of the assumptions they grew up with. With an accessible, storytelling style that's grounded in solid biblical scholarship, Thielen shows how Christians don't need to believe that sinners will be (...) "left behind" to burn in hell or that it's heresy to believe in evolution. And while we must always take the Bible seriously, we don't always have to take it literally. At the same time, Christians do need to believe in Jesus--his life, his teachings, his death and resurrection, and his vision for the world. A great benefit of those beliefs is that they provide promising answers to life's most profound questions, including: Where is God? What matters most? What brings fulfillment? What about suffering? Is there hope? Thielen articulates centrist, mainline Christianity in a way that's fresh and easy to understand, and offers authentic Christian insights that speak to our deepest needs. This new edition includes a leader's guide, previously only available online, and a new introduction from the author that reflects on the book's reception. The leader's guide features unique and easily implemented aids for carrying out a seven-week, congregation-wide initiative that will help local churches reach out to their communities.

Cet ouvrage veut montrer la grande affinité entre la révélation Muhammadienne et la pensée française. La Révélation veut nous révéler à nous-même, notre propre esprit. L'esprit a une patrie, il s'incarne dans un certain paysage terrestre. Naître ce n'est pas apparaître avec un corps en un certain endroit du monde. Naître c'est s'éprouver dans une certaine ambiance du savoir et de la sensibilité, dans une langue, dans un tissu d'impressions qualitatives qu'on appelle une culture. Si l'Islam bien compris peut être (...) pour la France une source de régénération, le génie intellectuel français peut, à son tour, donner à l'Islam une toute nouvelle lecture de ses fondements. L'injonction première donnée au Prophète fut "Iqrâ" : "Lis!" La grande pensée française peut nous apprendre à lire autrement la révélation divine. "Nous avons fait de vous des nations et des tribus, pour que vous vous entreconnaissiez" (Coran, 49 : 13). (shrink)

Hermann Cohen (1842-1918), the author of Religion of Reason Out of the Sources of Judaism, is the pivotal figure of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Jewish philosophy and theology. The Jewish thinkers influenced by him include Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, Mordecai Kaplan, Joseph Soloveitchik, and Emmanuel Levinas. A thoroughgoing rationalist, Cohen was an opponent of mythology and mysticism, which he viewed as cheapening and corrupting religion. Cohen summoned Jews back to the truths of reason, the centrality of ethics, the primacy (...) of humanity in theology, and the moral law as the essence of religious life and thought. What is essential to Cohen is the notion that God can be discovered by the processes of reason itself. It is not necessary to "believe" in God. God can be known through the exercise of reason and the pursuit of the ethical life. In this important study, Rabbi Jehuda Melber presents a comprehensive reformulation, analysis, and interpretation of Cohen's philosophy of Judaism for the contemporary reader. Book jacket. (shrink)
