David Baily Harned

Grace and Common Life (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book consists of lectures originally written for a seminar on secularization and later revised and presented at a center for the study of world religions in North India. The central theme which Professor Harned explores is one shared by different traditions, namely, grace and the view of man as a player, i.e. engaging in the activity of play. The book aims to show how the Christian faith among others relies upon ordinary experience, especially family life and playing. Grace, which is available to all and is defined as the presence and activity of the divine among men, is bound up with imagination and creativity.
