The Mystery of God
Author: Steven D. Boyer
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1441240179
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
How can I know God if he is incomprehensible? Is it possible to know God in a way that takes seriously the fact that he is beyond knowledge? Steven Boyer and Christopher Hall argue that the "mystery of God" has a rightful place in theological discourse. They contend that considering divine incomprehensibility invites reverence and humility in our thinking and living as Christians and clarifies a variety of theological topics. The authors begin by investigating the biblical, historical, and practical foundations for understanding the mystery of God. They then spell out its implications for theological issues and practices such as the incarnation, salvation, and prayer, rooting knowledge of God in a concrete life of faith. Evangelical yet ecumenical, this book will appeal to theology students, pastors, church leaders, and all who want intellectual and practical guidance for knowing the unknowable God.

Book Description
Jesus is the most enigmatic figure in human history! Jesus wants us to seek Him, find Him, know Him and imitate His example, but "who" is Jesus? The knowledge of this truth is the cornerstone to understand the Image Bearer series. "Image" is a scripture-based book about the identity of Jesus that explains why He does what He does. How was He able to perform all those miracles and walk on water? This insightful book reveals the answers to those mysteries.Jesus is Lord. This benchmark of Christian theology is the keystone of our salvation, yet our comprehension of who Jesus is has been minimized by man-centric and mystical doctrines which have forgotten the greater aspects of who He is, was, and always will be. Jesus was not promoted from a junior lieutenant position to govern all creation as the reward for living a sinless life and being raised to life again; Jesus has always been Lord of all.There are 111 names for Jesus in the Bible. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, and the always Eternal One who proceeds from the Father since before the beginning of anything. Jesus is Lord over all. Jesus created everything and He is the Image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15-18). Jesus is the Manifested One. Once we come to the knowledge of this truth, that Jesus is King of kings and Lord over everything in heaven and on earth, we will then be able to fully grasp His identity as is found in all books of the Bible, we will be able to comprehend the larger picture of our faith in Christ, and we will more fully understand our true identity in Christ as well.Jesus is the Message and the Messenger. Jesus came to earth as the Son of Man for one primary reason: to teach us about the Father and show us how to live as sons and daughters of our heavenly Father. We get our identity from Jesus. Our true identity is found - in Christ!

Image Ethics
Author: Larry Gross
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195361849
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
This pathbreaking collection of thirteen original essays examines the moral rights of the subjects of documentary film, photography, and television. Image makers--photographers and filmmakers--are coming under increasing criticism for presenting images of people that are considered intrusive and embarrassing to the subject. Portraying subjects in a "false light," appropriating their images, and failing to secure "informed consent" are all practices that intensify the debate between advocates of the right to privacy and the public's right to know. Discussing these questions from a variety of perspectives, the authors here explore such issues as informed consent, the "right" of individuals and minority groups to be represented fairly and accurately, the right of individuals to profit from their own image, and the peculiar moral obligations of minorities who image themselves and the producers of autobiographical documentaries. The book includes a series of provocative case studies on: the documentaries of Frederick Wiseman, particularly Titicut Follies; British documentaries of the 1930s; the libel suit of General Westmoreland against CBS News; the film Witness and its portrayal of the Amish; the film The Gods Must be Crazy and its portrayal of the San people of southern Africa; and the treatment of Arabs and gays on television. The first book to explore the moral issues peculiar to the production of visual images, Image Ethics will interest a wide range of general readers and students and specialists in film and television production, photography, communications, media, and the social sciences.
