Download or read book Therese of Lisieux written by Thomas R. Nevin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-12 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897), also known as St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, is popularly named the Little Flower. A Carmelite nun, doctor of the church, and patron of a score of causes, she was famously acclaimed by Pope Pius X as the greatest saint of modern times. Thérèse is not only one of the most beloved saints of the Catholic Church but perhaps the most revered woman of the modern age. Pope John Paul II described her as a living icon of God. Her autobiography Story of a Soul has been translated into sixty languages. Having long transcended national and linguistic boundaries, she has crossed even religious ones. As daughter of Allah, she is venerated widely in Islamic cultures. Therese has been the subject of innumerable biographies and treatises, ranging from hagiographies to attacks on her intelligence and mental health. Thomas R. Nevin has gained access to many untapped archival materials and previously unpublished photographs. As a consequence he is able to offer a much fuller and more accurate portrait of the saints life and thought than his predecessors. He explores the dynamics of her family life and the early development of her spirituality. He draws extensively on the correspondence of her mother and documents her influence on Thérèses autobiography and spirituality. He charts the development of Therese's career as a writer. He gives close attention to her poetry and plays usually dismissed as undistinguished and argues that they have great value as texts by which she addressed and informed her Carmelite community. He delves into the French medical literature of the time, in an effort to understand how the tuberculosis of which she died at the age of 24 was treated and lamentably mistreated. Finally, he offers a new understanding of Thérèse as a theologian for whom love, rather than doctrines and creeds, was the paramount value. Adding substantially to our knowledge and appreciation of this immensely popular and attractive figure, this book should appeal to many general readers as well as to scholars and students of modern Catholic history.

Download or read book Erziehung als transformatorische Seelenbildung bei Therese von Lisieux written by Anja Klos-Hoffmann and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nachdem Therese von Lisieux 1997 zur Kirchenlehrerin erhoben wurde, muss die Beschäftigung mit ihr auch unter diesem neuen Vorzeichen stehen, um die Lehre dieser Heiligen zu entdecken und wissenschaftlich zu würdigen. Die vorliegende Dissertation setzt sich deshalb erstmals mit Thereses Erziehungslehre auseinander, um damit auch die Aspekte der Herzensbildung und Seelenformung pädagogisch einzuholen. Therese entwickelte in ihren Schriften eine spirituelle Pädagogik, die in dieser Dissertation unter dem Begriff der transformatorischen Seelenbildung konzeptualisiert und analysiert wird. Da sich die Wissenschaft bislang weder mit der spirituellen Pädagogik noch mit Thereses Konzeption der transformatorischen Seelenbildung befasst hat, gibt diese Forschungsarbeit sowohl spiritualitätstheologische als auch humanwissenschaftliche Impulse.
