Download or read book The Crucified written by Kamila Baraniecka-Olszewska and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an anthropological study of a phenomenon observed within the range of contemporary Polish Catholic religiosity. The Crucified focuses on two fundamental issues: passion plays and performance theory. It presents an analysis of material collected during five years of field research, which sheds light on the varied world of religious performances. The phenomenon of passion plays is extremely complex and to some extent heterogeneous, hence its in-depth analysis reveals much not only about its own nature, but also about the entire modern religiosity. As a result, the book is constructed in such a way as to focus on a single phenomenon, but with conclusions extending to a much wider range of contemporary religious practices. The book reveals the need for self-expression of one’s own attitudes observable in contemporary spirituality, as well as the increasing participation of believers in the development of their religious life and thus in the formation of their own religious identity. All these processes are interpreted in terms of performance theory. Applying this approach makes it possible to capture the believers’ need for activity and creativity in the field of practices alternative to the liturgy.

Download or read book Discipleship written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cheap grace is the mortal enemy of our church. Our struggle today is for costly grace." And with that sharp warning to his own church, which was engaged in bitter conflict with the official nazified state church, Dietrich Bonhoeffer began his book Discipleship (formerly entitled The Cost of Discipleship). Originally published in 1937, it soon became a classic exposition of what it means to follow Christ in a modern world beset by a dangerous and criminal government. At its center stands an interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount: what Jesus demanded of his followers-and how the life of discipleship is to be continued in all ages of the post- resurrection church. "Every call of Jesus is a call to death," Bonhoeffer wrote. His own life ended in martyrdom on April 9, 1945. Freshly translated from the German critical edition, Discipleship provides a more accurate rendering of the text and extensive aids and commentary to clarify the meaning, context, and reception of this work and its attempt to resist the Nazi ideology then infecting German Christian churches.

Download or read book The Seven Sayings of Jesus on the Cross written by Murray J. Harris and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who of us can possibly imagine the excruciating pain of being crucified? But further, who would imagine that in the midst of this ghastly punishment that brings on unrelenting headaches and mental disorientation, a crucified man would actually give thought to the needs of others? This book explores in detail the nature of crucifixion and then invites the reader to listen in stunned silence to the amazing seven sayings of Jesus of Nazareth while hanging on the cross, as he focuses his attention on others in the first three sayings, and only then on his own distressing situation. His last four sayings give expression to his utter spiritual and physical anguish and conclude with a cry of victory and then a cry in which he commits himself to God.

Download or read book Lies We Believe About God written by Wm. Paul Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html On Easter morning, April 18 (5), 1993, in Optina Desert, a Satanist killed three of its inhabitants: Hieromonk Vasily (Roslyakov), monks Trophim (Tatarnikov) and Therapont (Pushkarev). Monks Therapont and Trophim rang in the bell tower, announcing Easter joy - they were killed first, hieromonk Vasily went to the skete to confess the worshipers, but at the skete gates, hurrying to help the brothers, he was overtaken by a murderer ... /// They lived glorifying God, and now God is glorifying them ... /// They left in silence - one at a time. And before leaving, they stood for a long time and prayed at the graves of the new martyrs. The Lord has many saints, but these are his own, and everything in their life is recognizable for us: the same childhood in homes without icons and a painful search for God. Their life is similar to the life of many - outwardly ordinary and seemingly arranged, but bleeding from the inside. All of Russia is now bleeding, and in our miserable state, which has tried all the teachings and treatments from Marxism to Mondevialism, it seems that the parable of the bleeding wife is coming true: “She suffered a lot from many doctors, exhausted everything that she had, and did not receive no benefit, but she came in even worse condition” (Mark 5:26). /// The three Optina brothers are young Orthodox Russia, and together with all of them once entered the church. But they entered with that fiery faith in the Lord, with which a bleeding wife rushed to Christ, believing that she would be healed by touching His robe. Is it not for this that the Lord glorified in miracles the three Optina New Martyrs who gave their lives for the Orthodox faith, so that suffering Russia could hear the voice of our Lord Jesus Christ: "Dare, daughter, will your faith save you?" /// The original text [translation] of the stichera of the Penitential Canon of Hieromonk Vasily is published for the first time.
