Скачать книгу - Creation and Hope



We live in an ecological age. Science in the last few hundred years has given us a picture of nature as blind to the future and mechanical in its workings, even while ecology and physics have made us aware of our interconnectedness and dependency upon the web of life. As we witness a possible sixth great mass-extinction, there is increasing awareness too of the fragility of life on this planet. In such a context, what is the nature of Christian hope? St Paul declares that all of creation «will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.» How are we to imagine this «freedom» when death and decay are essential to biological life as we currently experience it, and when the scientific predictions for life are bleak at best? This book explores these questions, reflecting on how our traditions shape our imagination of the future, and considering how a theology of hope may sustain Christians engaged in conservation initiatives. The essays in this volume are partly in dialogue with the ground-breaking work of Celia Deane-Drummond, and are set in the context of global and local (Aotearoa New Zealand) ecological challenges.

The 7 Words of Creation The 7 Words of Creation

Автор: Meckron Seraph

Год издания: 

The ancient World was created with the 7 Words of Creation, which are in the form of 7 magical artifacts. When a person weilds it, it gives the bearer an enourmous power to change the Allness.Long time ago, the Words of Power got split into 14 opposites…One day, an ordinary 14-year-old boy, named Joshua, finds a mystical pocket watch under an old bench in the park of a small town. It seems a perfectly normal watch, although it is showing the wrong time. When he accidentally drops it in the coffee shop, something happens! The coldness arises and he relives a few seconds of that moment twice. The time on the watch had changed. Does the watch really show the wrong time? Or is it the only „right time” in the world? Who`s watch is it?These questions drive young Joshua to find answers.In passing days, when he tries to grab on to the normal school-life that he used to believe was everything real in the world for him, he suddenly meets a mystical young woman, arriving with the eclipse. With her beautiful brown hair and unexampled gloomy amulet, she grabs him, pushing him against the wall, telling him that she is from the Coven sent to protect him and that she is called sister Kayden. She tells him that there are people after him, dark people with unnatural power, to claim the Watch – the Seventh Word of Creation – for their own, and suggesting him to run!…
