Paperback. Condizione: New. Tricky Questions about God is a response to many requests made by Catholic teachers, catechists, and parents for help in answering the tricky and often highly intelligent questions that children and young people ask about their faith. The book begins with four foundational chapters: "Can theology be made simple?," "Why is the Bible important?," "Is faith reasonable?," and "Can expressions of faith change?" It then explores a series of questions like "Who made God?," "If God is almighty, why is there so much suffering?," and "Does God have a plan for me?". Each chapter draws on engaging stories and examples to illustrate points, as well as summarizing relevant elements of Scripture, Church teaching, and contemporary philosophy and science. While primarily designed as a resource for teachers, the work could also be helpful in RCIA programs, faith formation programs for adults, and identity development programs for lay leaders in Catholic ministries..…

Paperback. Condizione: New. This sequel to Does God like being God? and Did Jesus have a Girlfriend? aims to help parents, teachers, and catechists answer the tricky questions that young people ask about Church.What's Church All About? explores the real questions that young people ask, including their negative and sometimes irreverent questions. It also provides four supplementary chapters based on advanced questions for adults and a vision for the Church of the future.

Liam Bergin, Theology Department, Boston College"What's Church All About? responds to the tricky questions that children, young people, and even adults ask about the Church. The practical theological answers John Honner presents will enlighten our faith in a changing world."-Sr. Clare Condon, Sister of the Good Samaritan of the Order of St Benedict"What's Church All About? is an authentic exploration of real questions young people are asking today. The book provides the tools to 'do theology' and explore pastoral possibilities for people on their journey of faith."-Peter Bierer, assistant director, Pastoral Life and Mission, Archdiocese of Adelaide, Australia"John Honner listens closely to young people's questions about the church and responds from the depths and richness of the Christian tradition. A lively, engaging, insightful, and loving book."-James McEvoy, Theology Department, Australian Catholic UniversityDr. John Honner has degrees in science and theology and was professor and rector at the former Jesuit Theological College in Melbourne, Australia.

Condizione: New.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The first part of Cosmic Love begins with an account of the rise of science and the shift in characterizations of nature from a mysterious Goddess to an ordered collection of material objects. This is followed by reflections on the feminist critique of science and the implications of indeterminacy in quantum theory. It concludes that a more complete account of nature will be one that takes a higher point of view, that includes all our senses, and that has a more explanatory power.The second part explores concepts of love, particularly passionate love, and Teilhard's proposal that love is the least understood and most powerful force in the universe. It concludes that love is a force for union, inherently personal, a pointer to the divine, and an evolutionary promise for the future.The third part of the book explores ideas about God not just as a creator, but as inherent (and incarnate) in creation, with a consideration of the God of religions, with a focus on a God of the future rather more than the past, and a God disclosed in Jesus Christ. The book will close with a personal conclusion on the God of faith and the God of surprises.Endorsements"This is.a call to transformation-of our scientific practice, our spiritual understanding, and our relationship with the natural world. In an era desperate for new ways of seeing and being, this wonderful book offers a path forward that is both intellectually rigorous and spiritually nourishing."-from the foreword"Cosmic Love easily steps between the worlds of religion and science, making a compelling case for a closer connection between them, with the focus on a flourishing earth. If we are to survive, thrive, and evolve we must find a way of bridging the two. Honner manages to do just this."-Dean Rickles, professor of history and philosophy of modern physics, Sydney University"Thank heaven for John Honner. And thank earth too. With his feet on the ground and his eyes on the stars, he gracefully unfolds many of life's most wonderful mysteries. Here at last is a scientist who is prepared to talk seriously about love. Cosmic Love is an invigorating challenge to anyone who wants to reduce life to a few clichés."-Michael McGirr, author of Every Day Is New."In an age when science and religion are often at loggerheads, John Honner shows how they are better together than apart. You will learn much from reading this book."-Terry A. Veling, author of For You Alone: Emmanuel Levinas and the Answerable Life.John Honner's studies in philosophy, science, and theology culminated in a doctorate at Oxford on the foundations of physics and faith. The author of many books, he taught theology and philosophy in the Melbourne College of Divinity (now the University of Divinity) and was the founding editor-in-chief of Pacifica: Australasian Theological Studies..…
