How have our emotions shaped the course of human history? And how have our experience and understanding of emotions evolved with us?
Richard Firth-Godbehere Knihy
The title of this book speaks for itself. The Resurrection is foundational for the Christian faith and an integral element of its doctrine, which is why we need to get as close to the truth as possible. The evidence for the Resurrection is reviewed, seeking to get into and behind the texts of the four gospels, and the minds of those who were there or who wrote about it, with what is believed to be a fresh approach to the events of that third day and whether or not they are an essential part of the original good news of Jesus Christ.
From shortly after his death to the present day, a number of people have claimed that David Hume was an atheist. Many of Hume's works seem to confirm this, particularly the arguments against religion and natural philosophy published after his death; arguments that are still a major challenge to theism and religious belief. Nevertheless, Hume always professed a belief in what he called 'True Religion'. In this short work, Richard Firth-Godbehere attempts to find out what Hume meant by this term, and how it became central to his lifelong attempt to understand, and ultimately undermine, what he called the 'religious hypothesis'.
