Showing results for "New Views" in Religion & Spirituality

The enduring influence of the New Testament does not lessen the dispute over the events and factors leading to its adoption. Five Views on the New Testament Canon presents five distinct ways of understanding how the New Testament came to be. Each contributor addresses historical, theological, and hermeneutical questions related to the New Testament canon. Contributors also include a chapter each responding to the other views presented in the volume. The result is a lively exchange suitable for students seeking to grasp the best canon scholarship in biblical studies.

Without consciousness there is nothing. Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist, and whether there might be an afterlife experience awaiting you after our physical bodies die? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God.

Our ordinary point of view divides the world in two. Me and you, right and wrong, success and failure, life and death, practically all of our daily encounters are about divisions. We separate ourselves from the world around us, and this separation is the cause of our pain and suffering.

In the early 1990s, A.H. Almaas had a realization he was not expecting - even after years of deep inner awakenings. "I thought it was a personal experience, not a teaching," he reflects. Now, after two decades of further investigation, A.H. Almaas has concluded that the time is right to share "the view of totality" - what he considers one of the most advanced aspects of his teaching. With Endless Enlightenment, you are invited to join the renowned author and creator of the Diamond Approach® for a six-session program on the view of totality.
