Showing results for "hell" in Philosophy

The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation. But today, this view is no longer prevalent within Christian communities. In this momentous book, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation.

When it appeared in 1670, Baruch Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise was denounced as the most dangerous book ever published. In A Book Forged in Hell, Steven Nadler tells the fascinating story of this extraordinary book: its radical claims and their background in the philosophical, religious, and political tensions of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as the vitriolic reaction these ideas inspired.

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by the English poet William Blake consists of a series of texts written in the style of biblical prophecy but expressing Blake's own beliefs. Composed between 1790 and 1793, the book makes reference to Milton and Swedenborg, and adopts a device from Dante's Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost: a visit to hell. Blake expresses a deliberately depolarized and unified vision of the cosmos in which the material world and physical desire are both part of the divine order.

How do you know if you're going to heaven? How do you avoid going to hell? Learn what its like in heaven and hell from Emanuel Swedenborg's conversations with angels and spirits as this eighteenth-century Christian mystic explains what happens when we die.

"The Alchemy of Vision" delves deep into the mystical and philosophical realms, intertwining the radical insights of Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" with the revolutionary teachings of Neville Goddard on imagination and consciousness. Renn masterfully navigates the paradoxes and profundities of Blake's poetic symbolism, aligning them with Goddard's principles of imaginative creation and conscious living. This book is more than an intellectual exploration; it is a spiritual adventure, urging listeners to reconsider the nature of reality, perception, and the power within.

Is a doctrine of everlasting punishment in hell consistent with God's perfect love and perfect justice? And what implications does this traditional doctrine carry for the nature of divine grace and mercy. In Hell in a Nutshell Charles Watson, Sr., argues that we should not allow a received doctrine, such as the doctrine of hell, to determine our understanding of God's justice, love, and mercy; instead, we should allow a biblically informed understanding of these divine attributes to shape our understanding of every received doctrine, including the doctrine of Hell.

This is a book about God. Not just any God, but a God worth believing in. It's a book about wrestling with death and fear and doubt--and hoping to find something bigger. It's a book about heaven. Often when we think of heaven, what comes to mind is escape. According to Medieval art and modern cartoons, "heaven" is about leaving this world. Heaven is about getting as far away from what we and others have broken as possible. But this is a move of despair, and despair isn't healthy. This is a book about hell. Sometimes we believe ridiculous ideas so long they no longer seem ridiculous. But we need to reimagine hell. The real God would not choose a world that could contain an everlasting torture chamber. Most of all this is a book about Jesus. Not the Jesus we see in bad Christian art, but the Jesus who emerges from a dark corner of history and can't help illuminating everything he touches. In this Jesus, we see a new kind of God. In this Jesus, we see a new future.

Utopian history expert Danny McCarthy of The Story Of Nowhere podcast and Marketer/Pop Culture guy Nicky P of the Iron Age Marketing Podcast unite monthly to look at a popular science fiction movie and discuss the historical and pop culture implications of the work. Each episode references the history behind the concepts and sometimes the connections of the creators to determine is the movie a dire warning of a future not yet realized or a limited hangout acclimating us toward an inevitable hellscape? One thing is important though. Keep one eye over your shoulder and the other on the screen!

Gedske er ikke meget anderledes end de fleste andre danske kvinder i 30’erne. Hun lever et stille og almindeligt liv med mand og to børn, men hendes død bliver hverken stille eller almindelig. Hun bliver kørt ned, og i det et splitsekund passerer hendes liv revy.
