Already hailed as a landmark in contemporary Catholic theology, Jesus Symbol of God surveys scriptural data, the key moments in the development of doctrine, and the distinctive horizons of our contemporary world to develop a comprehensive and systematic christology for our time. The task of christology is to explain what it means to say that Jesus is the bearer and revealer of God in the Christian community, the decisive mediation of God's salvation -- or, in other words, the symbol of God.

Much blood has been spilled and is still being spilled over the question, Is there such a thing as a true religion? To answer No, is to give up on religion. To answer Yes seems dangerous and naive. Yet there is a way of understanding religion that avoids the danger and is both emotionally and intellectually satisfying.

Although this work is written from a Christian viewpoint, it also presents the symbolic visions of the non-believer. The symbolic examination of God helps us to uncover what it means to be human, and where we are heading as a species. Symbols aid in conveying the abstract ideas that human languages are too limited to express. In the broadest sense, God symbolizes all the mysteries of existence. Any thinking person must ask the question, 'what is the ultimate significance of this frail and vulnerable flesh that clothes the human ego?' God symbolizes these important mysteries and beckons us to approach him for answers.

'A mere metaphor', 'only symbolic', 'just a myth' - these tell tale phrases reveal how figurative language has been cheapened and devalued in our modern and postmodern culture. In God and the Creative Imagination, Paul Avis argues the contrary: we see that actually, metaphor, symbol and myth, are the key to a real knowledge of God and the sacred. Avis examines what he calls an alternative tradition, stemming from the Romantic poets Blake, Wordsworth and Keats and drawing on the thought of Cleridge and Newman, and experience in both modern philosophy and science. God and the Creative Imagination intriguingly draws on a number of non-theological disciplines, from literature to philosophy of science, to show us that God is appropriately likened to an artist or poet and that the greatest truths are expressed in an imaginative form. Anyone wishing to further their understanding of God, belief and the imagination will find this an inspiring work.

Making humankind in his image, God has designed us to understand how he thinks. We think in symbols, and so does God. God designed marriage not just to populate the earth. Marriage is a model of his own relation with each individual. God created a metaphor to show us humans the kind of relationship he wants to have with each of us. In a marriage, the husband symbolically represents God, and the wife represents all humanity (Eve, the mother of all the living). The love between man and wife symbolizes God's love toward humankind. Those who persevere in marriage will learn much about God-if they grasp his symbolism. We live in a world of broken symbols. Hatred, divorce, murder, sexual immorality, environmental disasters, even the cross-all these are broken symbols. All of them give Satan chances to shove symbolism back in God's face. This book seeks to give its reader new vision-to see broken symbols the way God sees them. Once we see how important symbolism is to God, we will draw closer to him than we ever could before and be better prepared to stand against the devices of his enemies. The theme of spiritual warfare between God and Satan permeates the book. Symbolism is how God thinks. Broken symbolism is how Satan thinks because broken symbolism insults and offends God. We must learn the difference in order to properly carry God's image within us. Doing so can only deepen our passion for him and give us boldness to defend him in the world.

How might our understanding of God's Word be deepened if we recognized the significance of the signs and symbols found within its pages--signs that would have been obvious to the original readers? From the tree of life to Noah's ark, from circumcision to animal sacrifice. From the feasts, the Passover lamb, and the manna in the wilderness to the furniture in the tabernacle and the visions of prophets. From the Lord's Supper to baptism and from the cross to the empty tomb. Throughout the Scriptures, signs and symbols weave a consistent message of God's presence, grace, and faithfulness. This illustrated resource will help readers understand key biblical images that reveal God's purposes and truth. Each entry includes multiple illustrations, explanations, and key Bible passages. Sidebars, quotes, and photos make this guide approachable and engaging.

IF THE GOSPEL IS THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, THEN WHY DON'T CHRISTIANS TELL THE WHOLE STORY?It's all too prevalent in the 21st century American church to find a Gospel that begins and ends with the cross. And with it, God's whole story is forgotten among Christians who have lost the context of their faith in Jesus. This same one-dimensional Gospel has kept the Church from embracing its full calling and finding hope in its future. This book lays out the whole Gospel in six easy-to-remember symbols. Each symbol reveals part of the whole narrative of God''s love for His creation.
