• The World is Coming to an End

  
  CultureWatch — Authority: 464
  Most cultures and religious traditions have as part of their beliefs and overall worldview the idea that the current world will in one fashion or another come to an end.  There are various apocalyptic scenarios out there, some more negative than others, and some more alarmist than others. If the world is indeed ...

• In Memoriam Prof. Donald Wiseman (1918-2010)

  
  Quaerentia — Authority: 491
  Donald Wiseman died last week – and with his passing, a giant of archaeological and biblical scholarship has gone. But what a legacy! I only met him a handful of times when I was a very green curate in Sheffield (one of his daughters was a member of the congregation). I’ll never forget the first occasion… I ...

• Aiding and Abetting Dubai?

  
  thinktoomuch.net — Authority: 110
  Today we consider… a moral quandary! One that we’re presented with quite often, in fact, but today we discuss but one specific scenario: Dubai. And this blog post may be short, but the article I’m suggesting you read is really long: The dark side of Dubai — Johann Hari, published in The Independent on 7 ...

  In the Kingdom — Authority: 110
  Do you agree that how we see the world determines how we make our choices in life? Ever wonder what some of the major differences of worldview and reality there are between the two “great faiths” of Christianity and Buddhism? Here is a simple list that I pulled together from my own observation and study ...

• The Cultural Self in Integral Psychotherapy: Narratives of Multiplicity and Multicultural Counseling

  
  Integral Options Cafe — Authority: 145
  This is the first paper for my new class in Social and Multicultural Foundations in Counseling. We were given four rather vague questions and I chose to go my own way with the assignment. So of course, I went where my interests are right now, integral theory, cultural psychology, and the narrative construction of the ...

• The infectiousness of wonder: Richard Holmes and the romance of science

  
  Quaerentia — Authority: 491
  Richard Holmes’ magisterial Age of Wonder has worked its magic on me. Having worked my way through it over several weeks before Christmas, many of its scenes and images have jostled unforgettably in my mind. This is not simply the account of a great period in the Royal Society’s history (although it is that); ...

• Q marks the spot – Treasure Map 17 (February 2010)

  
  Quaerentia — Authority: 491
  This has ended up being a bit of a bumper one too! Hey ho. Enjoy. Sacred Treasure Some wise words on Haiti from Graham Tomlin BibleArcs is a really helpful study tool from John Piper. It doesn’t take too long to pick up, and while it may initially look weird and unwieldy, it provides a significant means to ...

• Never as bad as we could be, sure; but never as good as we should be…

  
  Quaerentia — Authority: 491
  One of the most unsettling things in recent years is how the rosy-tinted, enlightenment perception of human nature has persisted for years, despite relentless evidence to the contrary. It staggers me that after the 20th Century we can still persist in thinking that we’re all basically good, just dependent on right ...

• Toward an Integral Buddhism (Redux)

  
  Integral Options Cafe — Authority: 145
  A few years ago, I posted an article in response to Sam Harriss then current article in Shambhala Sun, Killing the Buddha . In the article he argues for stripping away everything from Buddhist practice except meditation practice, what Ken Wilber would call the " technology of transcendence ." I recently posted a ...

• There’s No Such Thing as “Faith”

  
  thinktoomuch.net — Authority: 110
  There are a number of clichés I just can’t handle. This is especially true in the realm of religion, on both ends of the spectrum, fundie and “new atheist”. Today I’m griping about the “New Atheists’ definition of faith “. Faith is merely belief without evidence; a process of active non-thinking. ...

• What Prevents Leaders from “Connecting the Dots”?

  
  Great Leadership — Authority: 528
  It seems like as a result of the failed bombing attempt on the Northwest Airlines flight, “ connecting the dots ” is the new “thinking outside the box”. The phrase may need to be added to your latest version of corporate bull%$#* bingo . SmartBrief on Leadership did a poll last week and asked the ...

• The Sympathy of Melancholy: Orhan Pamuk’s SNOW

  
  Quaerentia — Authority: 491
  There is a play on words that gets lost in translation from  Turkish into English. I am by no means a Turkish speaker (as if), and I only discovered it when looking up information about the town in which Orhan Pamuk’s celebrated 2002 book is set. Pamuk won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006 and the citation ...

  Truthbomb Apologetics — Authority: 120
  Ravi Zacharias presents two lectures that deal with the state of apologetics today and why we must be able to defend the faith against opposing worldviews. As Zachariass website notes: "A classroom style lecture that Ravi delivered recently at Wheaton College to a group of budding apologists. The message is; your ...

• Postmodern Condition

  
  The Ramblings of Hughbo — Authority: 116
  Recently at Cornhill we had Mark Meynell from All Souls lead some sessions on Postmodernism. Here’s a few little quotes or references which I liked… “My secret is that I need God–that I am sick and can no longer make it alone. I need God to help me give, because I no longer seem to be capable of giving; ...

• The Value of Listening

  
  Authspot — Authority: 164
  Dear All, I was listening to a podcast from a friend of mine and he made some points I’d like to address. Far too often, we (I say we because I have been guilty of this from time to time myself) have a tendency to be so quick to respond when we feel attacked by others that often we fail to listen to their point of ...

• Haiti and Theodicy

  
  CultureWatch — Authority: 464
  When the great earthquake of 1755 rocked Lisbon, it raised all sorts of questions about God and faith. The quake, along with a devastating tsunami and massive fires, resulted in anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000 deaths in Lisbon alone. The current quake and aftershocks in Haiti may be responsible for a similar number ...

• Pantheism and Biblical Christianity

  
  CultureWatch — Authority: 464
  In the famous painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo there is the memorable scene of the creator God extending his finger to the outstretched hand of the newly formed Adam. The imagery makes clear that Adam is a creation of God, not an extension of him. Creator and creation are distinct. That ...
