Download or read book Flames of Faith written by Zev Reichman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secrets from the inner meaning of Torah form the soul of the Chasidic movement's thought. They inspire, revive, and inflame Jewish souls with a passion to constantly increase observance and devotion. For more than two centuries it has inoculated millions against the ravages of secularism and preserved the spiritual life of the Jewish nation. Chasidus emerged as a protection from the storm winds of modernity. Today's Jewish community might benefit from a new look at the Chasidic movement's beginnings and reflections. Even those Jews who fulfill their religious obligations frequently perform rituals in a lifeless and superficial way. Were we to discover the depth and soulful vitality that fill Chasidic literature, a renewed passion might flame our faltering Jewish experience with the warmth of Torah. Unfortunately, for many of my contemporary American Jews, access to the gem-stones of the Chasidim has been denied. Chasidic works are overwhelmingly in Hebrew, and few good translations exist. This book provides an introduction to the basic terms and ideas of Chasidic texts. It is written for the interested lay reader who may be new to Torah study, as well as the yeshiva student who is knowledgeable about Biblical narratives and Talmudic law but may be new to the world of Chasidus.

Download or read book Doctrine and Devotion in Seventeenth century Poetry written by R. V. Young and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2000 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English devotional poets of 17c set in a wider European and Catholic context. This book offers a comprehensive account of the literary and theological background to English devotional poetry of the seventeenth century, concentrating on four major poets, Donne, Herbert, Vaughan and Crashaw. It challenges both Protestant poetics and postmodernism, the prevailing critical approaches to Renaissance literature: by reading the poetry in the light of continental Catholic devotional literature and theology, the author demonstrates that religious poetry in seventeenth-century England was not rigidly or exclusively Protestant in its doctrinal and liturgical orientation. He argues that poetic genres and devices that have been ascribed to strict Reformation influence are equally prominent in the Catholic poetry of Spain and France; he also shows that postmodernist anxiety about subjective identity and the capacity of language for signification is in fact a concern of such landmark Christian thinkers as Augustine and Aquinas, and appears in devotional poetry in the Christian tradition. Professor R.V. YOUNGteaches at North Carolina State University.

Download or read book Man to God written by Fassan Ramsaran and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is death? What is the ultimate purpose of life? These are questions that have always perplexed humankind. The ancient wisdom on the subject has always been dense, esoteric, and cloaked in secrecy—available to a select few. A spiritual quest can seem like looking for a needle in a haystack because there’s very little literature that puts it all together. But here, at last, is a compact and digestible summary of main ideas. In a completely accessible, highly readable guide to self-realization, author Fassan Ramsaran has created a clear and colorful roadmap of the many paths to truth. Lively, expressive, and reader friendly, Man to God is a digest of Eastern and Judeo-Christian thought that illustrates how different roads can lead to the same place. Man to God is an exploration of man's relationship to his Maker. It asks if there really is a divine Creator and if so, why do people feel so estranged? With answers backed by thoughts from the great spiritual texts, Man to God is a journey that builds momentum with each succeeding chapter, leading to a deep truth that will be a gift and a revelation to its readers.
