Rooted in the robust discourse of eminent Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor (A Secular Age), this book takes the reader on a journey of deep reflection and discovery. Many things in today’s culture misdirect, seduce, and confuse younger generations, when they actually need wise mentors with integrity. The discussion clarifies some of the core issues at stake in the late modern identity quest. In the process, it unpacks some of the most profound implications of the miraculous incarnation for personal flourishing. The author introduces us to the power of dialogue with both divine and human interlocutors. We are brought around the table for mutual engagement, while receiving a compelling vision for life. The discussion is deeply embedded in a rich understanding of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. The effect is to spark a lively faith-and-culture investigation. The crucial question we are left with is this: Do we intend to be our own gods in some gnostic permutation--to invent ourselves from the ground up according to our own individual design? Or, should we investigate a relationship with God and agape love that can be life-transforming, freeing, and anchoring? Which direction will lead to a grounded, resilient identity?

    Thomas-evangeliet er en unik kilde til undervisning tillagt Jesus, som ikke blev inkluderet i de officielle kanoner. Dette evangelium forblev skjult i næsten to årtusinder, indtil det blev opdaget af egyptiske bønder i 1947. Heri beretter Thomas, en af Jesu apostle, den der skulle se for at tro, om Messias’ ord, som ikke fremgår af Bibelen. Det er undervisninger, der blev bevar...

    In the second century, Platonist and Judeo-Christian thought were sufficiently friendly that a Greek philosopher could declare, "What is Plato but Moses speaking Greek?"

Burns argues that the fundamental break oc...
