Book The Books of Homilies

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gerald Bray
  • Publisher : James Clarke & Company
  • Release : 2016-01-28
  • ISBN : 0227905113
  • Pages : 529 pages

Download or read book The Books of Homilies written by Gerald Bray and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two Books of Homilies, along with the Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal, have long been basic documents of the Church of England, and are valuable in showing how Anglican doctrine shifted during the Reformation, as well as being of considerable historical importance.The first book, published in 1547, early in the reign of Edward VI, was partly, though not entirely, the work of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, and the inspiration appears to have been his. This was intended to raise the standards of preaching by offering model ser mons covering particular doctrinal and pastoral themes, either to be read (particularly by unlicensed clergy) or to provide preachers with additional material for their own sermons.The success of the venture led Bishop EdmundBonner, who had contributed to Cranmer's book, to produce his own Book of Homilies in 1555, during the reign of Queen Mary. The Second Book of Homilies, published in 1563 (and in a revised form in 1571) appears in turn to have been influenced by both Cranmer's and Bonner's books.The present edition brings together all three books, edited and introduced by Revd Dr Gerald Bray.

Book The Homilies of Saint John Chrysostom  On the Gospel of Saint Matthew

Download or read book The Homilies of Saint John Chrysostom On the Gospel of Saint Matthew written by Saint John Chrysostom and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE Homilies of St. Chrysostom on St. Matthew were undoubtedly delivered at Antioch, (see Hom. vii. p. 105.) and probably in the latter part of the time during which he preached as a Presbyter. Montfaucon considers his little mention of the sin of swearing a sign of his having accomplished some reformation on that point by his previous exertions. In the Homilies delivered from 386 to 388, it is a constant topic; and the Homilies known to belong to that date are so numerous, as scarcely to leave room for such a series as the present. These, however, contain very little to mark the period to which they belong. The argument from his reference to dissensions some time gone by, possibly those between St. Meletius and Paulinus and Evagrius, in commenting on St. Matt. 23:6. is not very conclusive.

Book Homilies in a New Key

    Book Details:
  • Author : Harvey D. Egan SJ
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2021-09-17
  • ISBN : 1666719196
  • Pages : 196 pages

Download or read book Homilies in a New Key written by Harvey D. Egan SJ and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These homilies on special liturgical feasts, on Jesus Christ, on spiritual topics, on the feasts of celebrated saints, and on special family occasions rethink--creatively but in an orthodox way--significant aspects of Christianity. They resulted, in part, from over sixty years of Jesuit spirituality, philosophical-theological study, graduate and undergraduate university teaching, scholarly research and publishing, and pastoral experience as well. They reflect years of prayerfully contemplating and thinking deeply about the great Christian heritage in the context of the Second Vatican Council, the recent biblical, historical, and theological scholarship, and contemporary issues arising in American culture. More specifically, behind these homilies, there stand, unobtrusively, the philosophical-theological thinking of Karl Rahner and Bernard Lonergan, the historical work of Bernard McGinn on the Christian mystical tradition, and the outstanding biblical scholarship of N. T. Wright. And yet my homilies attempt to remain faithful to the Mass readings and to the catechism of the hearts of those worshiping and prayerfully drinking in God's word addressed to them. Those who have heard them claim they are "deep," "existential," "exceptional," and "timely."

Book Homilies on the Psalms

    Book Details:
  • Author : Origen
  • Publisher : Catholic University of America Press
  • Release : 2020-12-18
  • ISBN : 0813233194
  • Pages : 503 pages

Download or read book Homilies on the Psalms written by Origen and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012 Dr. Marina Marin Pradel, an archivist at the Bayerische Stattsbibliotek in Munich, discovered that a thick 12th-century Byzantine manuscript, Codex Monacensis Graecus 314, contained twenty-nine of Origen’s Homilies on the Psalms, hitherto considered lost. Lorenzo Perrone of the University of Bologna, an internationally respected scholar of Origen, vouched for the identification and immediately began work on the scholarly edition that appeared in 2015 as the thirteenth volume of Origen’s works in the distinguished Griechische Christlichen Schrifsteller series. In an introductory essay Perrone provided proof that the homilies are genuine and demonstrated that they are, astonishingly, his last known work. Live transcripts, these collection homilies constitute our largest collection of actual Christian preaching from the pre-Constantinian period. In these homilies, the final expression of his mature thought, Origen displays, more fully than elsewhere, his understanding of the church and of deification as the goal of Christian life. They also give precious insights into his understanding of the incarnation and of human nature. They are the earliest example of early Christian interpretation of the Psalms, works at the heart of Christian spirituality. Historians of biblical interpretation will find in them the largest body of Old Testament interpretation surviving in his own words, not filtered through ancient translations into Latin that often failed to convey his intense philological acumen. Among other things, they give us new insights into the life of a third-century Greco-Roman metropolis, into Christian/Jewish relations, and into Christian worship. This translation, using the GCS as its basis, seeks to convey, as faithfully as possible, Origen’s own categories of thought. An introduction and notes relate the homilies to the theology and principles of interpretation in Origen’s larger work and to that work’s intellectual context and legacy.

Book Homilies on the Gospels

    Book Details:
  • Author : Hildegard of Bingen
  • Publisher : Liturgical Press
  • Release : 2011-10-01
  • ISBN : 0879072032
  • Pages : 248 pages

Download or read book Homilies on the Gospels written by Hildegard of Bingen and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hildegard of Bingen (1098 '1179) describes the virtue of Fortitude teaching the other virtues in the fire of the Holy Spirit. Like Fortitude, Hildegard was enkindled by the Holy Spirit and edified many with her teaching. Hildegard of Bingen's Homilies on the Gospels are here translated for the first time from Latin into English. Hildegard's sisters recorded and preserved her informal preaching in this collection of homilies on twenty-seven gospel pericopes. As teacher and superior to her sisters, Hildegard probably spoke to them in the chapter house, with the scriptural text either before her or recited from memory, according to Benedictine liturgical practice. The Homilies on the Gospels prove essential for comprehending the coherent theological Vision that Hildegard constructs throughout her works, including the themes of salvation history, the drama of the individual soul, the struggle of virtues against vices, and the life-giving and animating force of greenness (uiriditas). Moreover, the Homilies on the Gospels establish Hildegard as the only known female systematic exegete of the Middle Ages.

Book Postcolonial Preaching

    Book Details:
  • Author : HyeRan Kim-Cragg
  • Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield
  • Release : 2021-02-11
  • ISBN : 1793617104
  • Pages : 161 pages

Download or read book Postcolonial Preaching written by HyeRan Kim-Cragg and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Postcolonial Preaching, HyeRan Kim-Cragg argues that preaching is the act of dropping the stone of the Gospel into a lake, making waves to move hearts and transform the world wounded by colonial violence. The ripple effect serves as a metaphor and acronym to guide to preaching that takes postcolonial concerns seriously: Rehearsal, Imagination, Place, Pattern, Language and Exegesis (RIPPLE). Kim-Cragg explains each “ripple” in this approach and exercise of creating and delivering sermons. The author delivers fresh insights while drawing on some traditional homiletical perspectives in the service of a homiletic that takes the reality of racism, migration, and environmental degradation seriously. Moreover, Kim-Cragg demonstrates the postcolonial sermon in action by including annotated homilies. This book contributes to the very first wave of the application of postcolonial scholarship in preaching. Given the continuing extent and influence of colonial worldviews and legacies, this approach should become a staple in preaching over the next generation.

Book In Season and Out  Homilies for Year A

Download or read book In Season and Out Homilies for Year A written by William Grimm and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic liturgical calendar is replete with feasts and celebrations that may or may not fall on Sundays. In this volume, Fr William Grimm complements his homilies for the annual cycles (A, B and C) with homilies for feasts that occur each year. For us in the 21st Century, it is not enough simply to understand what the readings mean as those who composed them intended us to grasp. Our challenge and opportunity is to find out what they mean in our time and contexts two millennia later. Speaking the Word in our time and for our places is the challenge of preaching and, in this volume, Fr Grimm offers his considered reflections on what that task requires. Every week of the year, Fr Grimm gives visitors to www.ucanews.com (UCAN) the benefit of his learning, wisdom and experience. Each week, his homilies are seen by some 3,000 visitors to the UCAN site and with subtitles on UCAN's Vietnamese and Chinese sites. Now the texts of his homilies for the many special feasts of the year are available not only for preachers when preparing their homilies. They are also accessible in book form and in electronic formats for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the texts or find material for fruitful prayer.

Book In Season and Out  Homilies for Year C

Download or read book In Season and Out Homilies for Year C written by William J Grimm and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church lives on two lungs-Word and Sacrament. They reach their clearest expression and celebration for the Church's life in the Eucharist-the 'source and summit of the Church's life' as Vatican 2 puts it. Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 years experience in Asia-mostly Japan, but Hong Kong and Cambodia as well. In that time he has come to deepen his understanding of the distinctiveness of the message and person of Jesus Christ even in circumstances and among people that Jesus could never have known or imagined. It is not enough to understand what the readings mean as those who composed them intended us to grasp. The critical thing is to find what that meaning might be in the context of our times and contexts. Speaking the Word in our time and for our places is the challenge of preaching and it is to that challenge that Fr Grimm devotes his learning, experience and imagination. Every week for the Church's three year liturgical cycle, Fr Grimm gives visitors to www.ucanews.com-UCAN-the benefit of his learning, prayer, wisdom and experience. Each week, his homilies for Sundays and special feasts are seen by some 3,000 visitors to the main UCAN site and with subtitles on UCAN's Vietnamese and Chinese sites. Now the text of those homilies is published not only to assist preachers in the preparation of their homilies but for anyone wanting to deepen their under- standing of the text and find material for fruitful prayer on the Sunday readings.
