Description: If it ain\'t broke, don\'t fix it. But it\'s no secret that the Christian church is broke, and does need fixing. Despite great effort, things are going badly for us. We\'ve tried trendy and tech-savvy, entrepreneurial and coffee-house gritty. They\'re not helping. Our problem is deeper than that. Our problem is our instincts--instincts informed by our story. There was a time when the Christian church was a powerfully transformative presence in society. It can be again--but it will require radical rethinking of the story that informs our instincts. And it\'s time! It\'s been five hundred years since the Reformation, our last major update. Today is a pivotal moment in history. With our worldview upended by quantum physics, history is demanding we renew the Christian story for our times. Rethinking Our Story reframes the elements of the Christian narrative for the new era. It explores quantum ways of thinking about God, human nature, Jesus, salvation, and the afterlife. The future of the church and the health of our society depend on our willingness to rethink, retell, and live out a better story. We will either update our instincts and contribute to the earth\'s well-being--or disappear into oblivion. Why do good people do bad things? What will happen to our economic principles if we lose our Christian worldview? Does God call some to be in business? How can the church support the business community?Biblical Perspectives on Business Ethics: How the Christian Worldview has Shaped Our Economic Foundations answers these questions and provides a foundation framework of understanding for all those seeking to have a biblical understanding of commerce. This book was born out of a business ethics conference which took place in Philadelphia, in 2010. Chuck Colson, Peter Lillback, Philip Ryken, Wayne Grudem and several others have come together to encourage and strengthen the reader in an informed, Christian worldview as it relates to business. lankara - Orthodox - Jacobite) Cemeteries Act, 2020 Act No. 1 of 2020 Keyword(s): Cemetery, Christian, Parish DISCLA I M E R: This doc u ment is being furnished to you for your informati o n by PRS L A renowned ethicist who himself faced death during a recent life-threatening illness, Allen Verhey in The Christian Art of Dying sets out to recapture dying from the medical world. Seeking to counter the medicalization of death that is so prevalent today, Verhey revisits the fifteenth-century Ars Moriendi, an illustrated spiritual self-help manual on the art of dying. Finding much wisdom in that little book but rejecting its Stoic and Platonic worldview, Verhey uncovers in the biblical accounts of Jesus\' death a truly helpful paradigm for dying well and faithfully. Founded on in-depth biblical studies and perceptive theological perspective, James Thobaben\'s book has given us a comprehensive treatment of the myriad ethical issues involved in health care. He addresses topics such asthe nature of evangelical faithunderstanding illnessfamily caringthe role of health-care providersinstitutional considerationsethical issues related to reproductiondeath and dyingThobaben guides us into the realm of ethical discernment and decision-making by grasping the interconnections between health care in its various dimensions with the whole of true Christian living. If you are a student or pastor, or serving in the health-care professions, this monumental resource is for you. The subject of Christian Bioethics: A Guide for the Perplexed is bioethics in a wide sense including issues in medical ethics and questions concerning our relationship with animals, plants and, indeed, the whole planet earth. The key question is that of the value of life. This, then, yields the questions of what respect we owe to human and other forms of life and of how we should care for the world in general.These questions are approached from a Christian perspective and also from more strictly philosophical perspectives. Thus, arguments from a Christian perspective regarding our relationships with fellow humans, other creatures and the planet, are coupled with discussions of different kinds of argument and counter-argument. Christian health care professionals in our secular and pluralistic society often face uncertainty about the place religious faith holds in today\'s medical practice. Through an examination of a virtue-based ethics, this book proposes a theological view of medical ethics that helps the Christian physician reconcile faith, reason, and professional duty. Edmund D. Pellegrino and David C. Thomasma trace the history of virtue in moral thought, and they examine current debate about a virtue ethic\'s place in contemporary bioethics. Their proposal balances theological ethics, based on the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, with contemporary medical ethics, based on the principles of beneficence, justice, and autonomy. The result is a theory of clinical ethics that centers on the virtue of charity and is manifest in practical moral decisions. Using Christian bioethical principles, the authors address today\'s divisive issues in medicine. For health care providers and all those involved in the fields of ethics and religion, this volume shows how faith and reason can combine to create the best possible healing relationship between health care professional and patient.
