Spinoza was the 17th Century's philosopher of the Word of God: the philosopher of true Christian Salvation and Holiness. Within the corpus of Spinoza's work, there are many references pointing to a significant and important place for Christ in Spinoza's work. Actual texts and historical information readily affirms this. The historical evidence itself is not in question. This booklet makes extensive use of many of those textual and historical references to make a case that from an experiential or experimental religion point view, Spinoza's life and work are coherent and focussed. That in turn...

It is not that God created or caused us; rather that God indwelling through Christ is creating or causing us. In the time we have and with what we are given in that time, it is for us to exist with ultimate existential significance, meaning and purpose. In the most simple of terms, reality for most people is not and will not be what it has been for most people for millennia. The few shreds of 'reality' that have survived the last few centuries are being disintegrated by the advances of science and philosophy and are not being credibly replaced. In our existence and existing, what is real and...

This book is a commentary on Paul's authenticated Epistles. It is framed within radical Christian thinking exemplified by the likes of Huss and the Moravians, Arminius and the Dutch Collegiants, Spinoza and the Quakers, for example.

The few authenticated Epistles written by Paul are not accounts of historical events. They are not philosophical treatises. Paul's letters are explications of his encounter with reality, in particular the reality of personal salvation and freedom...

This work has been prepared for young people driven to spiritual matters by life and death urgency. It should be of interest to others who feel that spiritually they do not have enough to be live meaningfully. The New Testament gospel given in the book of John, Paul's authenticated letters and Spinoza's works have much to reveal to serious readers about discerning and engaging God, as well as enabling and empowering people who earnestly and deeply pursue personal salvation and holiness. The central message of the gospel given in the book of John, the authenticated letters of Paul and the work...

Age-able Age-ability...a new age of old age... As people age they change or develop, just as they changed and developed through child and youth. It is in our humanity that we develop into aging and agedness. As children and youth undergo development and emerge differently as a result of their development, so seniors undergo development and emerge differently as a result of their development. Human adaptation and development result from feeding our strengths, not from feeding weaknesses. The prevailing approach that responds to aging and agedness as disintegrating, malfunctioning, or as...
