The Bible observes that God made humanity ‘for a while a little lower than the angels’. If humans are that close to angels, does the difference lie in human sexuality and what we do with it? Much of the political contention and division in societies across the world centres on sexual topics, and one-third of the global population is Christian in background or outlook. In a single lifetime, Christianity or historically Christian societies have witnessed one of the most extraordinary about-turns in attitudes to sex and gender in human history. There have followed revolutions in the place of women in society, a new place for same-sex love amid the spectrum of human emotions and a public exploration of gender and trans identity. For many the new situation has brought exciting liberation – for others, fury and fear.

English | ASIN: B0D5SBDGLK | 2024 | 24 hours and 00 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 687 MB
Author: Francis S. Barry
Narrator: Mike Chamberlain

Bringing together two of America’s unifying loves – road trips and Abraham Lincoln – Frank Barry takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey into the heart of our democracy and the soul of our country. A year into his marriage and having never driven an RV, Frank and his wife Laurel set out from New York City in a Winnebago to drive the nation’s first transcontinental route, the Lincoln Highway, which zigzags through small towns and big cities from Times Square to San Francisco. Using the spirit of Abraham Lincoln to guide them across the land, they hope to see more clearly what holds the country together-and how we can keep it together, even amidst political divisions that have grown increasingly rancorous, bitter, and exhausting. Along the way, Frank and Laurel meet Americans whose personal experiences help humanize the nation’s divisions, and they encounter historical figures and events whose legacies are still shaping our sense of national identity and the struggles over it. This unforgettable journey is full of what makes any great road trip memorable and enjoyable: music, conversation, and laughter. By the end, listeners will have a clearer picture of how we have arrived at a period that carries echoes of the Civil War era, and-using Lincoln as a guide-where the path forward lies.

The Predestination of Humans and Angels Augustinus, Tome III, Book IX


Free Download Cornelius Jansen, Guido Stucco, "The Predestination of Humans and Angels: Augustinus, Tome III, Book IX"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0813235421 | PDF | pages: 336 | 10.2 mb
No other theological text polarized the early modern Catholic world as much as Cornelius Jansen’s Augustinus. In it the erudite bishop not only reconstructed St. Augustine’s teaching on grace and free will, but also boldly claimed that his views were in line with the Council of Trent and the Society of Jesus. For Jansen the latter had marginalized the Church Father’s doctrine on divine predestination by overemphasizing human free will. Published after his death in 1640, Jansen’s work drew a large crowd of followers and inspired an Augustinian reform movement. Its papal condemnation unintentionally spread this theology, but stifled an impassionate, academic engagement with the Augustinus. This first-ever translation of some of its central chapters enables historians, philosophers and theologians to finally engage with the founding text of Jansenism.

Educating Angels Teaching for the Pursuit of Happiness (Volume 9)


Free Download Tony Armstrong Ph.D, "Educating Angels: Teaching for the Pursuit of Happiness (Volume 9) "
English | ISBN: 1624910130 | 2013 | 288 pages | EPUB | 565 KB
What sort of education would be worthy of angels? Tony Armstrong argues it would be an education focused on helping them achieve their deepest aspiration: happiness. Contemporary education ignores the question of children’s happiness. Schools aren’t in the happiness business. For the most part, they’re in the preparing-workers business. Children are treated more as means to economic ends than as ends in themselves in today’s schools.
