The Churches And Modern Thought An Inquiry Into The Grounds Of Unbelief And An Appeal For Candor 1906

"The Churches and Modern Thought: An inquiry into the grounds of unbelief and an appeal for candour" by Vivian Phelips is a compelling book that looks to examine the gap between truth, belief, and religion. Starting by explaining the situation of belief and the growing popularity of people leaving the church and moving on to the idea of miracles and the critiques many have about the bible during her time, this book is thought-provoking and still remarkably relevant.

The keystone of Christianity is Jesus's physical, bodily resurrection. Present-day scholars can be significantly challenged as they forage through voluminous documents on the resurrection of Jesus. The literature measures well over seven thousand sources in English-language books alone. This makes finding specific sources that are most relevant for specific scholarly purposes an arduous task. Even when a specific book is relevant, finding the parts of the book that are most relevant to the resurrection rather than other topics often requires additional effort. A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus's Resurrection addresses these challenges in several ways. First, the bibliography organizes more than seven thousand English sources into twelve main categories and then thirty-four subcategories, which are designed to help you find the most relevant literature quickly and efficiently. Embedded are pro and con arguments which support efficient access through brief annotations and then annotate the diversity and complexity of the field of religion by including sources that represent a diverse range of views: theistic (e.g., Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), agnostic, and nontheistic. The objective of this bibliography is to provide convenient access to relevant sources from a variety of perspectives, allowing you to browse or find the one source accurately and with ease.
