SOLIDUS: A New Model for Understanding the Relationship Between Humans and God (Second Edition) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Why do people with genuine faith not just believe differently, but reason and respond differently? That question drove Chris L Abreo to spend years developing a framework that no existing theology or psychology had fully mapped. In SOLIDUS, Abreo proposes that the human mind operates through two distinct but complementary functions: Logic (objective, sequential, fact-based) and Intuition (subjective, holistic, truth-based). When these are integrated and directed upward toward God through Purpose, a person develops Wisdom and Grace. When Purpose turns inward toward self, the same mental architecture produces Foolishness and Disgrace, often without the individual realizing the inversion has occurred. Building from his own experience, including years in braces after a childhood accident that threatened amputation and a healing he credits to faith and persistent human effort, Abreo constructs the Human Understanding and Human Devotion (HUHD) Model. The framework maps individual reasoning onto social, political, and ecclesiastical behavior, showing how Conservative and Liberal impulses, Western and Eastern Christianity, and the institutions of Church and State each occupy a specific and necessary position within God's design. This is not a devotional. It is a structured, scripturally grounded model that gives readers a precise vocabulary for understanding why people think, divide, and act as they do, and what it looks like when a life is genuinely oriented toward God rather than merely performing that orientation. For anyone who has sensed that faith and reason belong together but lacked the frame work to show how, SOLIDUS offers a rigorous, accessible answer.
