Eschatology

Eschatology i/ˌɛskəˈtɒlədʒi/ is a part of theology concerned with the final events of history, or the ultimate destiny of humanity. This concept is commonly referred to as the "end of the world" or "end time". The word arises from the Greek ἔσχατος eschatos meaning "last" and -logy meaning "the study of", first used in English around 1550.[1] The Oxford English Dictionary defines eschatology as "The department of theological science concerned with ‘the four last things: death, judgment, heaven and hell’. In the context of mysticism, the phrase refers metaphorically to the end of ordinary reality and reunion with the Divine. History is often divided into "ages" (aeons), which are time periods each with certain commonalities. Most modern eschatology and apocalypticism, both religious and secular, involve the violent disruption or destruction of the world; whereas Christian and Jewish eschatologies view the end times as the consummation or perfection of God's creation of the world.

The Lexham English Bible is a new translation of the Bible into English. Logos Bible Software Brief history[edit] Logos Research Systems, Inc. (also known as Logos Bible Software) was founded in 1992 by two Microsoft employees, Bob Pritchett and Kiernon Reiniger, along with Bob’s father, Dale Pritchett. The three quit their jobs to develop Christian software.[3] Bob Pritchett and Reiniger produced one of the earliest Bible software packages for Windows: Logos Bible Software for Microsoft Windows v1.0. After acquiring data from the CDWordLibrary project at Dallas Theological Seminary (an earlier Bible software package for use on Windows 2), Logos released the Logos Library System platform in 1995.[4] In 2001 the LLS was replaced by the Libronix Digital Library Systems (or Libronix DLS)[citation needed], which was partially ported to the Apple Mac OS. On November 6, 2012, Logos announced Logos Bible Software 5 for Windows and Mac was available for purchase.[6] Logos today[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]

Brain shuts off in response to healer's prayer - life - 27 April 2010 WHEN we fall under the spell of a charismatic figure, areas of the brain responsible for scepticism and vigilance become less active. That's the finding of a study which looked at people's response to prayers spoken by someone purportedly possessing divine healing powers. To identify the brain processes underlying the influence of charismatic individuals, Uffe Schjødt of Aarhus University in Denmark and colleagues turned to Pentecostal Christians, who believe that some people have divinely inspired powers of healing, wisdom and prophecy. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Schjødt and his colleagues scanned the brains of 20 Pentecostalists and 20 non-believers while playing them recorded prayers. The volunteers were told that six of the prayers were read by a non-Christian, six by an ordinary Christian and six by a healer. In fact, all were read by ordinary Christians. Only in the devout volunteers did the brain activity monitored by ...

ePublishing Associates Chris Harrison - Visualizing the Bible This set of visualizations started as a collaboration between Christoph Römhild and myself. Christoph, a Lutheran Pastor, first emailed me in October of 2007. He described a data set he was putting together that defined textual cross references found in the Bible. The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the chapters in the Bible. Soon after finishing the cross-references arc visualization, I set out to create a new data set derived from the Bible’s text. Additional details: Entities with less than 40 connections are drawn at an angle. With the biblical names list already compiled and a copy of the King James Bible sitting on my desktop, another visualization was inevitable. Visually, this is the entire Bible printed on a single piece of paper (you'll need to look at the high-res version to see it). I've provided the visualization in three color themes.
