Biblical hermeneutics is the study of the principles of interpretation concerning the books of the Bible. Bible contains all forms of literary style. Hence they should be interpreted carefully. 7 rules of Rabbi Hillel and 13 rules of Rabbi Ishmael, 32 rules of Rabbi Eliezer Ben Jose Hagelili are only well known LIEZER BEN JOSE HAGELILI. Generally there are four levels given by PaRDeS -Peshat (צְָּשָׁט) - "plain" ("simple") or the direct meaning. -Remez (רֶֶמֶז) - "hints" or the deep (allegoric: hidden or symbolic) meaning beyond just the literal sense. -Derash (דְַּרַשׁ) - from Hebrew darash: "inquire" ("seek") - the comparative (midrashic) meaning, as given through similar occurrences. Sod (סבֿד) (pronounced with a long O as in 'bone') - "secret" ("mystery") or the esoteric/mystical meaning, as given through inspiration or revelation. To be true to the word, we need to interpret the Word faithfully. Here are the rules.
Situating former Harvard neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander's Near-Death Experience within the ontological landscape of Romanity, or, the 'Byzantine'-Ottoman Continuum of Roman Ecumenicity, namely: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, God's Gift, World's Deception is a unique exploration of this unique NDE, attesting to its vital and organic ties to those experiences of the New Testament Fathers of the 'Byzantine' Apostolic Catholic Orthodox Church (ἡ τῶν πάντων ἑνότης, the unity of all being/existents), which came to them via theosis.

M.M. Thomas was one of the chief architects of the modern ecumenical movement. An outstanding theologian, his original and rather unconventional explorations into ecumenical social ethics remain highly relevant even today. Long before liberation theology burst on the scene, Thomas raised his prophetic voice for the liberation of humanity from the dehumanizing structures. Focusing on the theological and social contributions of M.M. Thomas and his legacy for our times, and published with the support of the Council for World Mission to coincide with the centenary of Thomas' birth, this collection brings together an international panel of distinguished scholars, theologians and church leaders.
What I have done here is to state with necessary explanation the writings of Ambedkar on "The Philosophy of Hinduism" to which I have added the responses of various giants of the period to the problem of caste in India. These include the opinions of Gandhi, Vivekananda, Aurobindo and many others. A particularly relevant rational discussion is by V. Jayram.The Marxian solution of not much different, though they consider only the economic aspect neglecting the Opium - Religion. Is Ambedkar considering only the Opium, neglecting the economics? Is there a religious solution?
Early in the history of mankind when Jesus was alive he communicated as man. In the end soon after the resurrection and the post resurrection period, period showed himself to be God. Now those whop proclaimed Jesus as God was forced to declare God as Trinity. This created a problem between Monotheism and Polytheism. Is Christianity Monotheistic or Polytheistic. This was the struggle in the early Christian period. Arius was one who came up with one answer as many others. What did he propose. Is it a valid explanation. Is it heresy. Where do we place Arianism. Who are the Arians today?
This is the story of Apostle Thomas - the doubting Thomas - who dared to ask the evidence for the resurrection to believe. Jesus was only glad to provide that. Once satisfied, he became the first to proclaim that Jesus indeed was God, by shouting ""My Lord, and My God"" In the fullest sense, Thomas was the first Christian. His ministry was essentially in Parthia (including Yemen), China and India. He was martyred in Mylapore, Chennai. He came to Kerala in AD 52. This is his story which was handed down to us from our fore fathers for over 2000 years. Come and touch Jesus and believe.
