Spiritual Essays: A Personal Collection

About the Book

Spiritual Essays – A Personal Collection, provides answers to many of the questions Christian bible study produces. These questions range from “Why is my life seemingly a mix of blessings and sufferings?”, or “If Satan is real what threat does he pose for me?” or “Why is God such a jealous God?” or “When Christians speak of peace, how does that differ from worldly peace?“ Many Christians today, both male and female, are seeking a more inclusive religion, one which promotes a greater role for them in their relationship with God. Arnold has found some very significant theological evidence that an inclusive Christianity is precisely what Jesus Christ had in mind for his Church. His essay on Synerology - A Theology of Participation develops this evidence in an exceptionally clear and persuasive manner. Another big question in this postmodern age is whether the Bible is inerrant. Arnold’s essay on this subject should prove to be very convincing and uplifting. Other essays consider the difference between the spirit and the soul, trials and temptations, belief and obedience, and the meaning of Predestination. In these 25 Essays the reader will discover the meaning of life and will become engaged in a study of the Bible.
