Judith A. Merkle examines the situation of Christian spirituality today, in a secular age, through the images of dance, silence, and music. Drawing on the work of Charles Taylor as well as core aspects of the tradition of Christian theology on discipleship, Merkle asks how these new conditions affect the practice of Christianity as modern discipleship.
The author calls God the music maker. She argues that response to the reality of God can be captured through the image of dance. Merkle reminds us that people in secular society connect to God in diverse ways, not in the least through the call of creation and the call of conscience. She explores discipleship as a lens through which we can understand how a community of faith, service, prayer, worship, and sacramentality can be viewed and integrated in daily life. She emphasizes how the interconnection between prayer, Eucharist, and a believing community is inseparable from the dance of discipleship as it can be lived in secular society. The image of dancing to silent music is a powerful symbol of Christian religious experience in modern times.
Описание: We're constantly invited to think about the future of technology as a progressive improvement of tools: our gadgets will continue to evolve, but we humans will stay basically the same. In the future, perhaps even alien species and intelligent robots will coexist right alongside humans, who will grapple with challenges and emerge as the heroes. But the truth is that radical technological change has the power to radically shape humans as well. We must be well informed and thoughtful about the steps we're already taking toward a transhuman or even posthuman future. Can we find firm footing on a slippery slope? Biblical ethicist Jacob Shatzer guides us into careful consideration of the future of Christian discipleship in a disruptive technological environment. InTranshumanism and the Image of God, Shatzer explains the development and influence of the transhumanist movement, which promotes a "next stage" in human evolution. Exploring topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, medical technology, and communications tools, he examines how everyday technological changes have already altered and continue to change the way we think, relate, and understand reality. Cautioning against the belief that Christians can easily direct any technology toward following Christ, Shatzer grapples with the potential for technology to transform the way we think about what it means to be human and what sort of future we hope for. By exploring the doctrine of the incarnation and its implications for human identity, he helps us better understand the proper place of technology in the life of the disciple and avoid false promises of a posthumanist vision. What sorts of practices today can help us retain the best of what it means to be human in the future?

On Sunday mornings all over the world, people get dressed to go to church. Some of them dress up, some dress down, and others come as they are. Their choice of dress is their own personal preferences, as God does not have a dress code for His worshippers. He only requires that we worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Dressed for Church on Sunday Morning shares the biblical truth that God is more interested in what's in the heart of people rather than their outward appearances-which to others can be deceiving. Author Zadia B. Tyson reminds us that in the life of a Christian, it is our discipleship, our worship, our fellowship, and our stewardship that reveal who we are in Christ Jesus. It is through these disciplines that we show our obedience to God when we are able to love him first with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, and love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
God did not make provisions and save His people just for them to become members of a church; but to become disciples of Jesus Christ. When we acknowledge our call, He equips us to do the work of kingdom building. This is where our discipleship, our worship, our fellowship, and our stewardship define us as Christians. As Christians, we have been guaranteed that we will spend eternal life with God our Father, where we will be in His presence worshiping and praising Him forever.
