Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth collection by Sebastian Brock focuses on three areas: the christology of the Church of the East, with the argument that the traditional characterisation of this Church as 'Nestorian' is not only unsatisfactory, but also thoroughly misleading; the distinctive phraseology of the invocations to the Holy Spirit in the Syriac liturgical tradition, hearkening back to Jewish roots; and two important early Commentaries on the Liturgy.

Download or read book Children of the Calling written by Eric Nelson Newberg and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays, dedicated to Stan and Ruth Burgess, has been written by their colleagues and students to honor them as they retire after many years of distinguished service to Evangel University, Southwest Missouri State University, and Regent University. Several meanings can be subsumed under the title Children of the Calling. Stan and Ruth grew up in India, children of Pentecostal missionaries who felt they had "divine callings." They were influenced not only by the religious callings of their parents, but also by the cultural milieu of India. Though they did not personally take on board the specific missionary calling of their parents, they charted life maps that benefitted from the cross-cultural proficiencies developed in their childhoods in India, which to a large extent colored the influence they would have on their children, academic colleagues, and students, some of whom have submitted essays for this Festschrift. The diversity of subjects in this volume attests to the breadth of the scholarly work of Stan and Ruth Burgess. The first section narrates the major highlights of Stan and Ruth's academic biographies, the second presents pioneering studies of biblical studies and church history, and the third offers application-based research and personal reminiscences.

Download or read book The Eucharistic Liturgies written by Paul F. Bradshaw and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In graduate theology programs across the United States and elsewhere, Maxwell Johnson's The Rites of Christian Initiation: Their Evolution and Interpretation has become a standard text. Now Johnson and Paul Bradshaw together offer a companion volume on the historical development of the liturgy and theology of the Eucharist. Like the earlier volume, this study proceeds historically, from the origins of the Eucharist up to our own day. Unlike most studies of this kind, it includes an introduction to and developmental summary of the diverse eucharistic liturgies of the Christian East. It also explores the various Western rites (Ambrosian, Gallican, and Mozarabic) in addition to the Roman. With regard to theological themes, the authors give special attention to the topics of real presence (including the "consecration" of the bread and wine) and eucharistic sacrifice, the most central and most ecumenically challenging issues since the sixteenth-century Reformations. Making the book especially teacher- and student-friendly are the summary points at the end of each chapter. Each chapter also contains an abundance of liturgical texts for ease of reference.
Download or read book Syriac Christian Culture written by Aaron Michael Butts and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2021-01-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Syriac Christianity developed in the first centuries CE in the Middle East, where it continued to flourish throughout Late Antiquity and the Medieval period, while also spreading widely, as far as India and China. Today, Syriac Christians are found in the Middle East, in India, as well in diasporas scattered across the globe. Over this extended time period and across this vast geographic expanse, Syriac Christians have built impressive churches and monasteries, crafted fine pieces of art, and written and transmitted a sizable body of literature. Though often overlooked, neglected, and even persecuted, Syriac Christianity has been – and continues to be – an important part of the humanistic heritage of the last two millennia. The present volume brings together fourteen studies that offer fresh perspectives on Syriac Christianity, especially its literary texts and authors. The timeframes of the individual studies span from the second-century Syriac translation of the Hebrew Bible up to the thirteenth century with the end of the Syriac Renaissance. Several studies analyze key authors from Late Antiquity, such as Aphrahat, Ephrem, Narsai, and Jacob of Serugh. Others investigate translations into Syriac, both from Hebrew and from Greek, while still others examine hagiography, especially its formation and transmission. Reflecting a growing trend in the field, the volume also devotes significant attention to the Medieval period, during which Syriac Christians lived under Islamic rule. The studies in the volume are united in their quest to explore the richness, diversity, and vibrance of Syriac Christianity.
Download or read book West Syrian Liturgical Theology written by Baby Varghese and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three centuries, studies on the West Syrian liturgy have been mainly concerned with the texts or tracing the history of the rites. West Syrian liturgical theology has received little attention. This is the first book to explain the important orientations of the West Syrian liturgical tradition. What is the role of liturgy in the life and witness of the Church? What does the Church aim to accomplish in and through the liturgy? How is the celebration related to the fundamental principles of the Christian faith? These are some of the questions that this book attempts to answer. An historical sketch of West Syrian liturgy and summary of the structure of the celebrations, namely the Daily Office, Anaphora and other sacraments, sets the context for the deeper explorations into the West Syrian liturgy. Explaining the meaning of the arrangement of the liturgy in various liturgical units, Fr Varghese draws on the West Syrian liturgical commentaries and homilies on liturgical celebrations. Other oriental orthodox liturgical traditions and East Syrian sources are also examined, and key theological principles and ecclesiological and eschatological dimensions are explored. A bibliography of the West Syrian liturgy and a glossary of Syriac terms is provided.

Download or read book The Mirror of My Self written by John Pulparampil and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revised version of an extraordinary autobiography first published in January 2017 by the Educreation Publishing House, New Delhi, under the title "Gospel According to Myself", with four new chapters added to it, and also incorporating some changes in some parts the earlier chapters. The new headings of the chapters reflect the new perspectives adopted on each of them, with an emphasis on being a life-long student even at the age of 71. The book contains four major parts: (a) a comprehensive review of Jesuit training for priest hood, based on personal experiences as a Jesuit trainee in the Madurai Province of Jesuits in India; (a) a critical review of institution building for excellence in education and training in India, focusing experiences in the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, South Gujarat University, Surat, and Institute of Management in Government, Thiruvananthapuram; and (c) experiences in self-management from the days of adolescence to the age of seventy; and (d) a philosophy of life evolved by the author on the basis of his vast readings, unique experiences in life, and prolonged reflection and meditation on the deeper aspects of life lived in national and international contexts. In all what he did, value concerns have been central to his thinking and actions. And nowhere was he ever free from conflicts due to his value concerns in life. In his autobiography started in 1975 and completed in 2016, the author narrates and analyses his experiences in the different situations in which he had to take value-based decisions and face the consequences for the actions. The Philosophical perspectives on his religious experiences and value management conflicts outshine all other aspects of this extraordinary document. The spirit of the author enters into a dialogue with those who read the story of his eventful life
