The Great Meaning Of Metanoia: An Undeveloped Chapter In The Life And Teaching Of Christ (1896) - Paperback

by Treadwell Walden (Author)

""The Great Meaning of Metanoia: An Undeveloped Chapter in the Life and Teaching of Christ"" is a book written by Treadwell Walden and originally published in 1896. The book explores the concept of ""metanoia"" which is a Greek word that is often translated as ""repentance"" in the Bible. Walden argues that this translation is incomplete and that ""metanoia"" actually has a much deeper meaning that has been largely overlooked in Christian theology. Walden draws on a variety of sources including the Bible, early Christian writings, and Greek philosophy to explore the true meaning of ""metanoia"". He argues that it is not simply about feeling sorry for one's sins or changing one's behavior, but rather it is a profound transformation of the entire self. This transformation involves a shift in one's worldview, a new way of seeing the world and one's place in it. Walden also explores the historical and cultural context of Jesus' teachings on ""metanoia"" and argues that they were revolutionary for their time. He suggests that Jesus was calling for a radical transformation of society, one that would lead to greater justice and equality for all people. Overall, ""The Great Meaning of Metanoia"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a concept that is central to Christian theology. It challenges readers to rethink their understanding of ""repentance"" and to consider the deeper implications of Jesus' teachings on transformation and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
