    Freedom of the Will , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
    This 1754 work by Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is subtitled An Inquiry into the Modern Prevailing Notions of the Freedom of the Will Which Is Supposed to Be Essential to Moral Agency, Virtue and Vice, Reward and Punishment, Praise and Blame. Edwards was a Christian reformer, theologian, and author in the Calvinist tradition, and in this work he explores the necessity of divine grace for the redeeming of the damaged will of humanity. He contends that free will is an extension of, and connected to, the grace of God. Freedom of the Will is still being debated in the 21st century and remains among the essential material of a thinker whose insights inspired the 18th century Great Awakening, which continues to influence American Protestantism to this day. ungekürzt.

    Jesus Christ Had Negro Blood in His Veins , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    Dr. William Lucius Hunter, MD (1850-1915) was a clergyman of the African Methodist-Episcopal Church and a physician who graduated at the University of Buffalo in 1890. In his 1901 book Jesus Christ Had Negro Blood in His Veins, Dr. Hunter researches scripture in order to fight segregation and abuse. He identifies Canaanites as being black and claimed that several important Jewish figures and ancestors of Jesus had children by this group of people. Hunter came to the conclusion that Jesus had black ancestry dating back to Ham, the son of Noah. "The Lord God not only honored the black man by allowing him to bear the cross of Jesus Christ, God honored Ham by allowing or having His Son Jesus Christ carry negro blood His veins", the author contends. ungekürzt.

    What Is to Be Done? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 342min
    What Is to Be Done? Burning Questions of Our Movement (1902) is a political pamphlet written by the Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin. Lenin contends that the working class will not become politically aware simply by struggling with employers over wages, hours and working conditions. He maintains that Marxists should form a political party of committed revolutionaries to spread Marxist political ideas among the workers. The pamphlet was partly responsible for the split of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party into Lenin's Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks. Claiming that socialist theory was the product of the "revolutionary socialist intellectuals", Lenin states that the working class was able to develop only a “trade-union consciousness". He points out that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the founders of modern scientific socialism, belonged to this bourgeois intelligentsia. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Douglas.

    The Secret of Spiritual Joy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 155min
    At one time or another, most Christians struggle with depression, discouragement, or despondency. When this happens, spiritual joy is the great need. William Farley has written a practical book to help flawed human beings discover and implement the secret to spiritual joy. The author contends that the gospel is the key to a life overflowing with joy. That is because a right understanding of the gospel produces the humility that motivates a life of continual thanksgiving.A heart humbled by the gospel is the well from which stressed believers can draw the gratitude that generates spiritual joy. This audiobook also examines common joy killers, like grumbling, complaining, boasting, and self-pity, and provides practical suggestions for conquering them. Such attitudes cannot co-exist in a heart saturated with gospel gratitude. Ultimately, a clear grasp of the cross is the secret to spiritual joy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wayne Evans.

    Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1177min
    In Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education (1916), John Dewey contends that the primary facts of the birth and death of each of the members of a social group determine the necessity of education.Dewey viewed the mind and its formation as a communal process, so that the individual is a meaningful concept only when regarded as an inextricable part of their society, whilst the society has no meaning apart from its realization through the lives of individual members.Just growing up and mastering the bare necessities of life are not sufficient to reproduce the life of the group, as a deliberate effort is required. Newborns are unaware of, and quite indifferent to the aims and customs of the social group, and, therefore, have to be made cognizant and actively interested in these. Dewey argued that education is the only way to achieve this. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rodney Louis Tompkins.

    The Conception of the Unconscious , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
    Jung contends that the personal unconscious consists of more or less superficial layers, but that it rests upon a deeper layer, which does not derive from personal experience; it is not a personal acquisition but an inborn quality. He calls the deeper layer the collective unconscious and explains that it is universal; it contains images and modes of behavior that are more or less similar everywhere, in all individuals.Jung describes the collective unconscious as a common psychic substrate of a suprapersonal nature which is present in every human being. As opposed to the personal unconscious which consists mostly of complexes, the collective unconscious contains archetypes. The concept of the archetype, which is closely associated with the idea of the collective unconscious, refers to the existence of definite forms in the psyche which appears to be present always and everywhere. ungekürzt.

    Present Future: Six Tough Questions for the Church , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 355min
    In this provocative book, author, consultant, and church leadership developer Reggie McNeal debunks these and other old assumptions and provides an overall strategy to help church leaders move forward in an entirely different and much more effective way. In The Present Future, McNeal identifies the six most important realities that church leaders must address including: recapturing the spirit of Christianity and replacing "church growth" with a wider vision of kingdom growth; developing disciples instead of church members; fostering the rise of a new apostolic leadership; focusing on spiritual formation rather than church programs; and shift, from prediction and planning to preparation for the challenges in an uncertain world. McNeal contends that by changing the questions church leaders ask themselves about their congregations and their plans, they can frame the core issues and approach the future with new eyes, new purpose, and new ideas. ungekürzt.
