Book Treasures of the Anglican Witness

Download or read book Treasures of the Anglican Witness written by Chimela Meehoma Samuel and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In Treasures of the Anglican Witness: A Collection of Essays, Dr. Chimela Samuel has given us a wonderful gift, dedicated to helping the faithful understand the rich legacy of prayer book spirituality by highlighting the contributions of such Anglican greats as Cranmer, Hooker, and Herbert. What is unique about Chimela’s approach is that in doing so, he offers a compelling argument for the importance of pastoral ministry in the Anglican tradition. Interwoven with his scholarly overview he concludes each chapter with recommendations and implications for the contemporary Anglican church. This is particularly timely given the discipleship crisis that is endangering younger generations and the future of the church. He issues a persuasive call for a return to our Anglican roots by way of a proper understanding of catechesis and how to enhance the teaching ministry of the church through appropriate processes of discipleship. In doing so he gives some very practical answers to why we do some of the things we do as Anglicans. It’s rare to have a piece of writing that is scholarly in nature, but also an instructive devotional tool for Anglicans throughout the worldwide communion. His collection of essays are an inspiring witness to the treasures we have in Anglicanism.” — Dr. Leslie F. Thyberg

Book Ministry in the Anglican Tradition from Henry VIII to 1900

Download or read book Ministry in the Anglican Tradition from Henry VIII to 1900 written by John L. Kater and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once Henry VIII declared the Church of England free of papal control in the sixteenth century and the process of Reformation began, the Church of England rapidly developed a distinctive style of ministry that reflected the values and practices of the English people. In Ministry in the Anglican Tradition from Henry VIII to 1900, John L. Kater traces the complex process by which Anglican ministry evolved in dialogue with social and political changes in England and around the world. By the end of the Victorian period, ministry in the Anglican tradition had begun to take on the broad diversity we know today. This book explores the many ways in which laypeople, clergy, and missionaries in multiple settings and under various conditions have contributed to the emergence of a uniquely Anglican way of responding to the call to serve Christ and the world. That ministry preserved many of the insights of its Reformation ancestors and their heritage, even as it continued to respond to the new and often unfamiliar contexts it now calls home.

Book All Thy Lights Combine

    Book Details:
  • Author : David Ney
  • Publisher : Lexham Press
  • Release : 2022-01-12
  • ISBN : 9781683595533
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book All Thy Lights Combine written by David Ney and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We do not simply interpret God's word. His word interprets us. Figural interpretation has been a trademark of Anglican devotions from the beginning. Anglican readers--including Tyndale, Cranmer, Hooker, and Lewis--have been figural readers of the Bible. By paying attention to how words, images, and narratives become figures of others in Scripture, these readers sought to uncover how God's word interprets all of reality. Every verse shines the constellation of God's story. Edited by David Ney and Ephraim Radner, the essays in All Thy Lights Combine explore how the Anglican tradition has employed figural interpretation to theological, Christological, and pastoral ends. The prayer book is central; it immerses Christians in the words of Scripture and orders them by the word. With guided prayers for morning and evening, this book invites readers to be re--formed by God's word. Become immersed in the riches of the Anglican interpretive tradition.

Book Sacred Treasure The Cairo Genizah

Download or read book Sacred Treasure The Cairo Genizah written by Rabbi Mark S. Glickman and published by Jewish Lights Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code in an old Egyptian synagogue--the amazing story of one of the most important discoveries in modern religious scholarship. In 1896, Rabbi Solomon Schechter of Cambridge University stepped into the attic of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, Egypt, and there found the largest treasure trove of medieval and early manuscripts ever discovered. He had entered the synagogue's genizah--its repository for damaged and destroyed Jewish texts--which held nearly 300,000 individual documents, many of which were over 1,000 years old. Considered among the most important discoveries in modern religious history, its contents contained early copies of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, early manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible, and other sacred literature. The importance of the genizah's contents rivals that of the Rosetta Stone, and by virtue of its sheer mass alone, it will continue to command our attention indefinitely. This is the first accessible, comprehensive account of this astounding discovery. It will delight you with its fascinating adventure story--why this enormous collection was amassed, how it was discovered and the many lessons to be found in its contents. And it will show you how Schechter's find, though still being "unpacked" today, forever transformed our knowledge of the Jewish past, Muslim history and much more.

Book A Treasure to be Shared

Book excerpt: A Treasure to Be Shared is intended to promote a more widespread knowledge of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus, promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009. The Apostolic Constitution provided for Personal Ordinariates for Anglicans entering into full communion with the Catholic Church. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Apostolic Constitution, an academic symposium in the year 2019 sponsored by the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, provided historical, liturgical, canonical and ecumenical perspectives on the fruits of the Apostolic Constitution for the wider Church. The hope is that the reader will see the Personal Ordinariates of The Chair of Saint Peter in the United States and Canada, Our Lady of Walsingham in Great Britain and Our Lady of the Southern Cross in Australia as a gift to the Church, and a treasure to be shared by all.

Book Parish Church Treasures

  • Author : John Goodall
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2015-10-08
  • ISBN : 1472917650
  • Pages : 306 pages

Download or read book Parish Church Treasures written by John Goodall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enthralling guide to the largely unrecognised treasures of England's remarkable Parish Churches, 'the supreme treasury of English vernacular art and memory'. Our parish churches constitute a living patrimony without precise European parallel. Their cultural riches are astonishing, not only for their quality and quantity, but also their diversity and interest. Fine art and architecture here combine unpredictably with the functional, the curious and the naïve, from prehistory to the present day, to form an unsung national museum which presents its contents in an everyday setting without curators or formal displays. Because church treasures usually remain in the buildings they were created for, properly interpreted they tell from thousands of local perspectives the history of the nation, its people and their changing religious observance. John Goodall's weekly series in Country Life has celebrated particular objects in or around churches that are of outstanding artistic, social or historical importance, to underline both the intrinsic interest of parish churches and the insights that they and their contents offer into English history of every period. Parish Church Treasures incorporates and significantly expands this material to tell afresh the remarkable history of the parish church. It celebrates the special character of churches as places to visit whilst providing an authoritative and up-to-date history at a time when the use and upkeep of these buildings and the care of their contents is highly contentious.
