The golden jubilee of its publication is a timely moment for a book such as this. It contains essays on various aspects of Dei Verbum by authors from around the world. They write from the perspective of their respective disciplines of biblical studies, patristics, theology, liturgy, philosophy, and communications media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the most influential thinkers in Christian history, St. Augustine (354–430) had a flair for teaching and meditated deeply on the mysteries of the human heart. This study examines a little-known side of his career: his work as a teacher of candidates for baptism. ln the revised edition of this seminal book, both the text and notes have been revised to better reflect the state of contemporary scholarship on Augustine, liturgical studies, and the catechumenate, both ancient and modern. This edition also includes new findings from some of the recently discovered sermons of Augustine and incorporates new perspectives from recent research on early Christian biblical interpretation, debates on the Trinity, the evolution of the liturgy, and much more. This reconstruction of Augustine’s catechumenate provides fresh perspectives on the day-to-day life of the early church and on the vibrancy and eloquence of Augustine the preacher and teacher.

Download or read book Broken Words written by Paul Scott Wilson and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one preach from the Old Testament? What are the particular needs and challenges of preaching the Good Friday, and then the Easter, sermon? What does one do when he or she wants to address contemporary events? Paul Scott Wilson has long been one of the most significant writers among those who seek a richer and more complete understanding of what preaching is, and how it might be made better. He draws on his broad and deep work in homiletics to show preachers how to craft a variety of types of sermons. Recognizing that all sermons are in some ways broken words, Wilson includes in each chapter an illustrative sermon. Either kind of sermon--the good or the bad--can offer ample opportunities to learn how to be a more effective and faithful preacher of the gospel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian initiation is a gradual process "suited to the spiritual journey of adults that varies according to the many forms of God's grace, the free cooperation of the individuals, the action of the Church and the circumstances of time and place". How does that fit into a program modeled after the school year? It doesn't, argues Mary Birmingham. The Rite of Christian initiation of adults describes an initiation process that exists at the heart of the church's life and on the same schedule as the church: every day, all year long. This book will help you imagine, envision, understand and implement a year-round catechumenate in your parish. --Book cover
