This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique, wide-ranging volume exploring the historical, religious, cultural, political, and social aspects of Christian martyrdom Although a well-studied and researched topic in early Christianity, martyrdom had become a relatively neglected subject of scholarship by the latter half of the 20th century. However, in the years following the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, the study of martyrdom has experienced a remarkable resurgence. Heightened cultural, religious, and political debates about Islamic martyrdom have, in a large part, prompted increased interest in the role of martyrdom in the Christian tradition. The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Christian Martyrdom is a comprehensive examination of the phenomenon from its beginnings to its role in the present day. This timely volume presents essays written by 30 prominent scholars that explore the fundamental concepts, key questions, and contemporary debates surrounding martyrdom in Christianity. Broad in scope, this volume explores topics ranging from the origins, influences, and theology of martyrdom in the early church, with particular emphasis placed on the Martyr Acts, to contemporary issues of gender, identity construction, and the place of martyrdom in the modern church. Essays address the role of martyrdom after the establishment of Christendom, especially its crucial contribution during and after the Reformation period in the development of Christian and European national-building, as well as its role in forming Christian identities in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This important contribution to Christian scholarship: Offers the first comprehensive reference work to examine the topic of martyrdom throughout Christian history Includes an exploration of martyrdom and its links to traditions in Judaism and Islam Covers extensive geographical zones, time periods, and perspectives Provides topical commentary on Islamic martyrdom and its parallels to the Christian church Discusses hotly debated topics such as the extent of the Roman persecution of early Christians The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Christian Martyrdom is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of religious studies, theology, and Christian history, as well as readers with interest in the topic of Christian martyrdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Augustine as Mentor written by Edward L. Smither and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lauded for his thoughts, Augustine of Hippo (354-430) has influenced virtually every philosopher of the last fifteen hundred years. But his personal character and ministry are even more remarkable, for in a time when most monastery dwellers sought solitude, Augustine was always in the company of friends, visiting disciples and writing mentoring letters to those he knew. Augustine as Mentor is written for modern day pastors and spiritual leaders who want to mentor and equip other evangelical Christians based on proven principles in matters of the heart like integrity, humility, faithfulness, personal holiness, spiritual hunger, and service to others. Author Ed Smither explains, “Augustine has something to offer modern ministers pursuing authenticity and longing to ‘preach what they practice.’ Through his thought, practice, success, and even failures, my hope is that today’s mentors will find hope, inspiration, and practical suggestions for how to mentor an emerging generation of spiritual leaders.”

Download or read book SAINT CYPRIAN ON THE LORD S PRAYER written by santabendicion.com and published by santabendicion.com. This book was released on with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Cyprian reveals to us the hidden power of the Lord's Prayer, the prayer to the Lord that Jesus taught his disciples and which is the most powerful and effective prayer to make petitions and obtain God's favor. In the Treatise on the Lord's Prayer, Saint Cyprian, Bishop and Martyr of Carthage explains the meaning of the Lord's Prayer, phrase by phrase, giving a revealing, beautiful and profound vision of the traditional prayer. A profound and beautiful writing that is fundamental to Christianity. THE POWERFUL MEANING OF THE LORD'S PRAYER PHRASE BY PHRASE BY CYPRIAN OF CARTHAGE In this work, also known as "A Treatise on the Lord's Prayer", St. Cyprian explains the meaning of the Lord's Prayer, phrase by phrase, clause by clause, giving quotations, details, and reflections to help understand its meaning. Written at the end of 251, this work was influential and decisive for Christianity, since many later Christian leaders, such as St. Augustine himself, studied St. Cyprian and relied on his commentary for the development of their own texts and writings. It was a work that was fundamental in the meditation and formulation of Christian liturgy, as well as in the devotional practice of the faithful throughout history. In particular, the work influenced the way in which the Lord's Prayer was taught and understood, and how it should be prayed. THE MEANING OF THE OUR FATHER: THE PRAYER THAT JESUS TAUGHT TO HIS DISCIPLES This work by St. Cyprian is one of the first extensive commentaries on Christianity's most traditional and popular prayer. In this treatise, St. Cyprian analyzes and explains each of the phrases of the Lord's Prayer, showing how this prayer summarizes the teachings of Jesus Christ on Christian life and faith. A WORK FOR DISCOVERING THE HIDDEN POWER IN THE LORD'S PRAYER Finally, this work is important because it reveals the hidden power of the Lord's Prayer as a powerful spiritual tool to connect with God, receive guidance and help in times of difficulty and affliction. It even defines it as the most powerful tool to obtain God's grace and to fulfill our petitions. Since, according to Cyprian, whenever we recite it, Christ becomes our advocate before the heavenly throne. This is followed by instructions on the order, recollection and modesty required to address the Most High. St. Cyprian's treatise on the Lord's Prayer offers an in-depth and practical look at Christianity's most fundamental and traditional prayer, giving a detailed, phrase-by-phrase understanding of the meaning of the Lord's Prayer to help us understand the teachings of Jesus, and helping believers connect with God and deepen their faith. WHO IS SAINT CYPRIAN? Known as a saint, bishop of Carthage and martyr. According to historians, of pagan origin, Cyprian, upon discovering the power of faith, decided to convert to Christianity, being one of the most representative examples of adult conversion. He dedicated himself to spread the word of the Lord throughout North Africa, where, to the envy of many, he became bishop of Carthage. St. Cyprian stood out for being a very influential leader, besides being a very prolific author who wrote several of the most influential works of Christianity. He was persecuted and died a martyr for defending the Christian faith. Today, his works continue to be the fundamental basis of the Christian faith. Being "The Treatise on The Lord's Prayer" a beautiful and essential text for the reading of every believer.

Download or read book More Than a Memory written by Johan Leemans and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its history, persecutions and martyrdom have been Christianity's faithful companions. Remarkably enough, Christians have always valued martyrdom in a positive way. This positive evaluation of martyrdom most certainly has to do with the absolute, uncompromising nature of it. The martyrs' lives and deaths represent the most uncompromising of answers to the divine call. The focus of the contributions in this volume is not in the first place on reconstructing the historical events of the martyr's life and death "wie es eigentlich gewesen ist," but on the discourse generated by this event as mediated in texts. More than a Memory aims to explore the reciprocal relationship between this discourse of martyrdom and the construction of Christian identity. It will do so by presenting a number of test cases in which this dynamic can be seen at work. They will lead the reader through the entire history of Christianity, starting with the Martyrdom of Lyons and Vienne in the second century and ending in the Latin America of the 1960's. Each article will present a test case of discourse-analysis, attempting to explore the issue of how a document or coherent group of documents contributed to create a distinct Christian identity. Taken together, the essays provide an array of examples of how martyrdom impinged on the way Christian identity has been negotiated in the Christian past. In doing this, the volume at the same time illustrates the sheer importance of martyrdom and the reflection and writing about it throughout the history of Christianity until today.
