Download or read book The Rule of Saint Augustine written by Augustine and published by Galilee Trade. This book was released on 1986-02-21 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oldest monastic Rule in the West A giant of the faith, St. Augustine is well known as "the restless searcher for truth." His life and the Rule he formulated have had enduring influence on the Christian ideal of the religious life. This is a new, modern English translation of the Rule from the original critical Latin text. An extensive Commentary elucidates its meaning and its relevance to those who follow or study it today. Augustine's concise spiritual directions, based heavily on the Scriptures, cover such subjects as prayer, love and community, mutual responsibility, service, authority and obedience. He outlines the basics for exercising genuine love, the goal of all things -- indeed life itself. This brief but classic guide is as inspiring and applicable to the twentieth century as it was to Augustine's early followers. It clearly reflects his own vision and spiritual depth. As Van Bavel observes in his Introduction: "We could characterize the Rule of Augustine as a call to the evangelical equality of all people. It voices the Christian demand to bring all men and women into full community." The Rule of St. Augustine is, indeed, a Rule for all Christians -- religious and laity alike.
Download or read book Four Faces of Anger written by Gertrude Gillette and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2010-06-07 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four Faces of Anger brings to the modern age wisdom on the topic of anger by four ancient authors. These authors are broadly representative of the classic views on anger in the tradition: Seneca, the first century A.D. stoic philosopher whose moral teaching won the admiration of pagans and Christians alike, even that of the irascible Jerome; Evagrius, who represents the monastic anchoretic tradition of the desert and its emphasis on the spiritual growth of the individual; Cassian, who trained in the same desert — shaped this tradition to speak to cenobites in the West. Our last author, Augustine, treats of the subject both as monastic legislator for his monks and as bishop for his lay congregation. His Rule for monks has one whole chapter devoted to the topic of how to deal with anger in a community setting. Although his initial ideas, expressed in abstractions and ideals, are important foundations for communal living, Augustine goes on to teach that the genuine work of building a loving and unified community is realized in the concrete struggles of human nature striving to overcome the tendencies of individualism and egoism. Anger, a force that often breaks down and prevents the growth of community, must eventually be squarely faced and, according to all of the monastic authors discussed in this book, the sooner the better. This chapter also includes several instances in Augustine's own life when he had to deal with anger in himself, in his congregation, or in the wider world that often solicited his help. The reader will soon realize that the Christian authors are not much interested in what anger is from a psychological perspective — though their treatment of anger is not entirely devoid of this element — but their focus is rather on how the vice of anger inhibits the spiritual growth of the soul and its relationship with God. Everyone, whether monastic or not, will glean from these pages the essential elements of detecting, eliminating, and controlling the negative side of this emotion so that he or she will advance on the spiritual journey unshackled by this all-too-pervasive human passion.

Download or read book Love and Friendship in the Western Tradition written by James McEvoy and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2023-08-18 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and Friendship in the Western Tradition comprises a collection of essays written over a 25 year period by the late Rev. Professor James McEvoy on the theme of friendship. The book traces the genesis and development of philosophical treatments of friendship from Greek philosophy, through the Middle Ages, to modern and postmodern philosophy. The collection’s three major concerns are: (1) the history of philosophical discussions of friendship; (2) the role of friendship in the cultivation of the philosophical life; (3) the marginalization of friendship as a theme for philosophical reflection and practice in the modern period. As the author was primarily a medievalist, a great deal of the focus of the essays is on the development of the theme of friendship in the Middle Ages (in the thought of Augustine, Aquinas, Aelred of Rievaulx, Henry of Ghent, Robert Grosseteste, etc.). However, this focus, while a value in itself, also serves to connect philosophical perspectives on friendship from before and after the middle ages. It connects to the time before inasmuch as much of the work done on friendship in the Middle Ages is anchored in interpretations of Aristotle and Plato, and it connects to the time after by providing a counterpoint to the modern paradigm of what constitutes the philosophical life. The collection combines historical with thematic approaches to scholarship on this issue and is one of the only books of its kind to do so. It is, perhaps, unique in its historical sweep and will prove to be a canonical source for further research on this topic.

Download or read book Augustine written by Carol Harrison and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-05-18 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Augustine, the North African bishop of Hippo (AD 354-430), has been much studied. But there has been no systematic attempt to consider the context which shaped his life and thought. Augustine's long and controversial career and his vast literary output provide unrivalled evidence for understanding the diverse ways in which Christianity confronted, assimilated, and finally transformed the traditional society of late antiquity. This book sets Augustine in his cultural and social context showing how, as a Christian, he came to terms with the philosophical and rhetorical ideals of classical culture, and, as a bishop, with the ecclesiastical, ascetic, and political structures of late antique society. According to Augustine, the Fall of man and Original sin fracture and vitiate mankind's ability to know or to will the good. This is revealed as the keystone of his theology, effecting a decisive break with classical ideals of perfection and shaping the distinctive theology of Western Christendom.

Book excerpt: On sait souvent que la règle de Saint Augustin régit encore de nombreuses familles religieuses. On sait moins que cette règle est en fait constituée de plusieurs textes dont la genèse suscite de nombreuses questions. Sœur Marie-Ancilla nous propose ici de lire cette règle et d'en pénétrer l'esprit. Bénéficiant des importants acquis obtenus par les recherches historiques antérieurs, comme celles de L. Verheijen ou de M.F. Berrouard, Sœur Marie-Ancilla invite son lecteur à une approche plus personnelle de ce beau texte, l'assurant de trouver ici réponse à nombre d'interrogations : quelle fut la vie des premiers moines entourant Saint Augustin ? quel fut l'itinéraire spirituel de ce dernier et ce qui le poussa à rechercher la vie monastique ? Le lecteur découvre finalement avec émotion ce qui unissait et motivait les compagnons d'Augustin : la pauvreté conçue comme juste partage des biens, l'obéissance au responsable de la communauté, lui-même serviteur de la parole, et par-dessus cela la charité qui anime tout. Ange le Proust, qui fut ermite de Saint-Augustin au XVIIè siècle, a noté combien, dans la règle, tout était ordonné " à l'enchaînement des cœurs dans les liens d'une charité réciproque et d'une communauté qui ne vise qu'à unir et lier ensemble sous un même joug les particuliers ". Ces pages en sont la vivante démonstration. Au-delà des réponses aux questions d'histoire que soulève la règle, Sœur Marie-Ancilla propose quelques clés pour renouveler aujourd'hui encore la façon de concevoir la vie fraternelle.

Download or read book Augustine and Politics written by John Doody and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume take stock of recent scholarly developments and revisit old assumptions about the significance of Augustine of Hippo for political thought. They do so from many different perspectives, examining the anthropological and theological underpinnings of Augustine's thought, his critique of politics, his development of his own political thought, and some of the later manifestations or uses of his thought in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and today. This new vision is at once more bracing, more hopeful, and more diverse than earlier readings could have allowed.
