Showing results for "WILLIAM" in Religion & Spirituality

J. Gresham Machen once said, "False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Gospel" - which makes apologetics that much more important. Wanting to engage not just academics and pastors but Christian laypeople and seekers, William Lane Craig has revised and updated key sections in this third edition of his classic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics, philosophy, probability calculus, arguments for the existence of God, and Reformed epistemology.

This landmark work by William James remains one of the most insightful books on psychology and spirituality. James considers the feelings, actions, and experiences of individuals, insofar as they understand themselves to be in a relationship with the divine. It examines the religion of everyday life and has nothing to do with doctrine or dogma.

In a breakthrough book first published in 1991, the authors address the dynamics in churches that can ensnare people in legalism, guilt, and begrudging service, keeping them from the grace and joy of God's kingdom. 

William James was one of the most influential figures in 19th-century American philosophy and psychology. His Pragmatism is a set of lectures that he gave in 1906-07 in answer to the enduring debate between empiricism and rationalism. Shifting between them, he proposed pragmatism as a method, the idea being that the value of any truth is dependent upon its utility–upon its practical and experiential consequences.

La Reincarnazione, la credenza secondo la quale l'anima dopo la morte passa in altri corpi umani o animali, è un'idea antichissima e affascinante. Ma dove e come nasce questa idea? Cosa c'è di vero? Questo audiolibro si propone di far luce su questa verità spesso negata, partendo dalle sue origini più remote, che vanno dal mondo egizio a quello greco-romano, da quello ebreo a quello indiano, per arrivare fino ai nostri giorni. Il risultato è un'indagine accuratissima che raccoglie prove, argomenti, testimonianze.

Nel carattere di ogni uomo, come è noto e come viene anche qui ribadito, vi sono dei punti deboli che si vorrebbero superare come vi sono alcune qualità che è necessario, invece, sviluppare. Ciò che impedisce ai più di reprimere gli aspetti negativi o sviluppare quelli adatti al loro scopo, è in generale l'ignoranza dei principi e dei sistemi adatti allo scopo che ci si vuole proporre. Indicare, quindi, i sistemi per sviluppare i "modi di essere" per ottenere successo ma soprattutto indicare come fare per "assumere tali modi".

Facciamo uso dell'espressione "magia mentale" per designare tutti quegli strabilianti casi in cui una mente esercita influenza su un'altra mente; ciò può accadere in numerose e differenti forme, gradi, fasi. Essa può verificarsi sotto forma di magnetismo personale, cioè come irresistibile fascino e influenza oppure come attrazione; può anche trattarsi di "fascinazione", attraverso cui una persona può influenzare un'altra in maniera del tutto incontrollabile, esercitando un impulso irresistibile sulle sue emozioni, sui suoi pensieri, sui suoi affetti.

"Esiste un principio universale di vita che impregna di sé ogni realtà esistente; esso è presente in ogni porzione di spazio, fino in quella più infima, ed è immanente ad ogni cosa; infinite sono le forme del suo manifestarsi in vita, energia, forza. La sua intima, essenziale natura è la "mente", potere incomparabile, dono divino di cui ogni essere può fare uso a suo piacimento, in corrispondenza di un atto volitivo che ne costituisca il fondamento; al di là del pregiudizio, è sufficiente compiere lo sforzo necessario a metterlo in atto: dopo di ciò, nulla potrà arrestarla".

Suicide rates among Army soldiers increased 80 percent between 2004 and 2008, according to a recent report published in Injury Prevention. In the last several years, the number of soldiers returning from the Middle East with mental and physical wounds has continued to climb. According to Dr. Simon Rego, a supervising psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center, "Unlike any other time in history, U.S. military suicide rates now appear to have surpassed those among comparable civilian populations. It is therefore critical that we address this emerging public-health problem."
