Download or read book Man in Metanoiacal Dialogue with God written by Krzysztof Leśniewski and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a theological analysis and interpretation of the Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete. The hermeneutic method used in the monograph consists in a comprehensive examination of key Greek concepts and phrases occurring in the analysed hymn in various contexts in which they occur, and on this basis creating a theological-existential synthesis. This method is based on the search for the spiritual and existential meaning of the most important terms and thus refers to the essential assumptions of patristic allegorical exegesis. The hermeneutic analysis of the content of the Great Canon in conjunction with the contextual analysis of the vocabulary used in it was considered the most appropriate, since it is the work of St Andrew of Crete can be compared to a poetic carpet woven from phrases from the Old and New Testament, which are combined with existential confessions and spiritual indications, expressed in Eastern Orthodox hesychastic terms.

Download or read book My Father Calls Me written by Don Marr and published by . This book was released on 1999-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever want to touch God? We've all wondered about life and the existence of God. If you had a chance to ask God anything, what would you ask? In 1992, businessman Don Marr was taking dictation from what he thought were angels or spiritual beings (A Gateway To Higher Consciousness), when, quite by surprise, the conversation took a sudden turn. The spiritual being identified itself as God, Goddess, All That Is. From there, the dialogue got very interesting and Don began to ask the questions that we've always wanted to ask. What's this thing called love? What about sex? What are we doing here? What happens when you die? What about sin, guilt and judgment? Do people exist on other planets? What can you do to improve your intimate relationships? The answers he received may surprise you, they may shock you or they may raise more questions. You may find comfort and a deeper sense of meaning in your life and even answers to your own unanswered questions. My Father Calls Me (One Man's Way Back To God) 'Reviews and News:' 'Don Marr's conversations are delightful. Filled with warmth, wit and humor, he manages to entertain, educate and answer many of the questions I have wanted to ask.' -L. Sterling 'This book caught me by surprise. I felt the struggle from the relative plane of duality to see and understand the metaphysical truths coming from the absolute, the Universal Mind. The dialogue between self and Higher Self was quite profound. All the material seemed rooted in Source and expressed in a way for the greater good of all.' -D. Chan 'Don's book is a great tool to guide you through our ultimate human responsibility. Reading this book has been therapeutic and inspirational. I am thrilled to have read it several times.' -D.C. Leonard 'My Father Calls Me has been a stimulating morning meditation for me. This book gives me a question for my day and helps me remember who I am. It is an exercise for strengthening my spiritual muscle . . ' -K. Walburger 'Your book shifts the directionality of choice from spiritual will imposed on the individual to creation by the individual himself, a provocative sense, both for the evolution of spirituality of the individual and for the evolution of spirit globally.' -J.L.S., MS, CPA 'This book of Don Marr's is great. It's great for those who have very little experience in spiritual reading and is helpful for those who have been on 'a path' for several years. A new look at dilemmas continuing for the human race.' -C. Cunningham 'Don asked questions that subliminally reach the surface of my consciousness continually. The spirit with which I live my life has truly been enhanced, developed and transformed from reading this book. Of course, it was perfect 'synergistic' timing for me ...' -C. Porter 'I enjoyed so much reading the dialogue. It was honest and faced the hardest questions of our Universe . . . It is wonderful seeing yourself in everything without judging . . . I will write the words . . . 'choose who you are' because for me, it was the beginning. Thank you.' -E.

Download or read book The Joy of Hearing written by Thomas R. Schreiner and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join New Testament scholar Thomas Schreiner as he explores the meaning and purpose of the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation can feel more intimidating to read than other books of the Bible. It invites readers into a world that seems confusing and sometimes even strange: golden lampstands, seven seals, a dragon, and a rider on a white horse. But at its core, Revelation is a message of hope written to Christians facing hardship, and it's worth the effort to read it and understand it. In this first volume in the New Testament Theology series, trusted scholar Thomas Schreiner walks step-by-step through the book of Revelation, considering its many themes—the opposition believers face from the world; the need for perseverance; God as sovereign Creator, Judge, and Savior—as well as its symbolic imagery and historical context. The Joy of Hearing brings clarity to the content and message of Revelation and explores its relevance for the church today.
Download or read book The Making of the Bible written by Konrad Schmid and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authoritative new account of the BibleÕs origins, illuminating the 1,600-year tradition that shaped the Christian and Jewish holy books as millions know them today. The Bible as we know it today is best understood as a process, one that begins in the tenth century BCE. In this revelatory account, a world-renowned scholar of Hebrew scripture joins a foremost authority on the New Testament to write a new biography of the Book of Books, reconstructing Jewish and Christian scriptural histories, as well as the underappreciated contest between them, from which the Bible arose. Recent scholarship has overturned popular assumptions about IsraelÕs past, suggesting, for instance, that the five books of the Torah were written not by Moses but during the reign of Josiah centuries later. The sources of the Gospels are also under scrutiny. Konrad Schmid and Jens Schrter reveal the long, transformative journeys of these and other texts en route to inclusion in the holy books. The New Testament, the authors show, did not develop in the wake of an Old Testament set in stone. Rather the two evolved in parallel, in conversation with each other, ensuring a continuing mutual influence of Jewish and Christian traditions. Indeed, Schmid and Schrter argue that Judaism may not have survived had it not been reshaped in competition with early Christianity. A remarkable synthesis of the latest Old and New Testament scholarship, The Making of the Bible is the most comprehensive history yet told of the worldÕs best-known literature, revealing its buried lessons and secrets.
Download or read book Becoming a House of Prayer written by Fr. Michael Birdsong and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the "Church" today we have become a complicated people living in a complicated world trying to live a complicated Christian life. Why is it so hard? The truth is dear saints we the bride have made it that way. The truth is many of us over time and ever so innocently have forgotten, "The good part." We have become a very busy people trying to do good, putting laws on ourselves that God never intended and going from conference to conference searching for a better life in the Kingdom. The truth of the matter we have forgotten to just "be." Are we a Martha or Mary? Have we become Saul or David? We must come to the revelation of there is no person, place or program that can increase the assurance and intimacy with your relationship with God. Only you can do that. You must do your part as God is faithful to do His. It is my prayer and hope that this little book will help you to rediscover the joy of your salvation and stir up the gift and desire in you to look for the better part of your relationship with God in prayer and intimacy.
Download or read book Malachi written by Aaron Schart and published by Kohlhammer Verlag. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary proceeds by first offering a synchronic view of the canonical final text of Malachi, especially the argumentation in the disputation speeches. Then the history of the text's origins is reconstructed, revealing an originally independent collection of disputation speeches. The additions provide some precision, introduce motifs from other writings, or accommodate the text to changing historical frameworks. In a third move the reader's view is directed beyond the Malachi document itself: as the last writing in the Book of the Twelve Prophets, Malachi refers back to other prophetic writings. The New Testament in turn adopts sayings from Malachi and develops them further. Finally, Schart investigates the theological relevance of the book.
Download or read book Christian Charismatic Movements written by Andrzej Siemieniewski and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Testament shows the early Church as having both stable institutions and dynamic growth in charismatic ministries. In the twenty-first century, although many historically-determined inessentials have changed, the Church’s structure remains fundamentally the same. This study looks at New Testament ministries (Eph 4:11-12), Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and the history of the gift of tongues from the Acts of the Apostles through to the charismatics of our time, to see how these elements contribute to the fast-paced, global phenomenon we call the “pentecostalization” of modern Christianity. Our research shows that much of what appears to be novel in current ecclesial movements is the fruit of charisms that have been poured out from the beginning. The disciples of Christ are still bringing “out of his treasure what is new and old.”

Download or read book Rooms for Manoeuvre written by Jerzy Kochanowski and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume focuses on emerging "rooms for manoeuvre" in the socialist societies of Central and Eastern Europe after the Second World War. Unlike in other works, these areas of activity are not viewed as isolated spheres where citizens could act independently from political and societal constraints. They are rather conceptualized here as geographical, social or institutional spaces whose existence was either outside of political control or more or less intentionally allowed by authorities and other decision-makers. The contributions investigate how East Germans, Poles, Romanians, Slovaks and Czechs coped with the limitations of socialist reality. How did they adopt and successfully adapt given norms to their own specific interests? To what extent were the resulting "rooms for manoeuvre" not only essential aspects of the state socialist system, but even necessary to stabilize it?
Download or read book Dance as Third Space written by Heike Walz and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance plays an important role in many religious traditions, in rites of passage, processions, healing rituals or festivals. But it is also controversial, especially in Christianity. Colonial European Christian discourses tend to separate dance from religion(s) and spirituality. This volume explores dance as "Third Space", following Homi Bhabha's postcolonial metaphor. The "Inter-Dance approach" combines interdisciplinary theoretical considerations with case studies. International experts examine dance controversies and discourses from the early church to World Christianity, as well as in Hasidic Judaism, Greek mysteries, Islamic Sufism, West African Togolese religions, and Afro-Brazilian Umbanda. Christian dance theologies are unfolded and the boundary-crossing potential of dance in interreligious and intercultural encounters is explored. The volume breaks new ground in how dance as ephemeral performative art, embodied thought and gendered discourse can transform studies of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende dreisprachige Band konzentriert sich auf Akte des transgressiven Handelns/Schreibens in ausgewählten Texten europäischer Literaturen, deren Autoren sich durch Geschlecht, Nationalität und Zeitrahmen unterscheiden. So berücksichtigen die hier gesammelten Beiträge eine doppelte Fragestellung: nach der Differenz und Überschreitung von Normen. Beide Begriffe werden zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt, um jeglichen Übergang in kulturell-sozial-historische Kontexte einbetten zu können. Die in chronologischer Reihenfolge präsentierten Analysen und Interpretationen von ausgewählten Texten deutscher, französischer, polnischer, russischer sowie antiker Literatur zeigen exemplarische Akte der Transgression in verschiedenen Kulturen und unter sich verändernden Zeitumständen und dokumentieren ästhetische Versuche, die bestehende Ordnung zu revidieren und eine neue zu schaffen. This trilingual volume focuses on acts of transgressive acting/writing in selected texts of European literatures whose authors differ in gender, nationality and time frame. Thus, the contributions collected here consider a double questioning: of difference and transgression of norms. Both concepts are set in relation to each other in order to be able to embed any transition in cultural-social-historical contexts. The analyses and interpretations of selected texts from German, French, Polish, Russian and ancient literature, presented in chronological order, show exemplary acts of transgression in different cultures and under changing time circumstances and document aesthetic attempts to revise the existing order and create a new one.
Download or read book Loyalty and Citizenship written by Gozde Yazici Corut and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gozde Yazici Corut unfolds the details of everyday life and represents the local people as active agents - active, moreover, in relation both to the changing nature and effectiveness of the Ottoman state's assertion of territorial authority and also to the differences between policies and practices of the Russian and Ottoman Empires. Overall, she focuses on the end-of-empire border politics and the issue of Ottoman citizenship not only from the perspective of macro-level political developments and central state power but also in terms of the peripheral specificities of administration and the movements and subjecthood choices of people inhabiting the Russo-Ottoman borderland. The author presents a new type of multi-faceted account of borderland development in which ethno-religious considerations came to inform a somewhat messy production of sovereignty in the context of the modernizing transition between empire and nation-state.
Download or read book The Political Cult of the Dead in Ukraine written by Guido Hausmann and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ukrainian Euromaidan in 2013–14 and the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war in the Eastern part of the country have posed new questions to historians. The volume investigates the relevance of the cults of the fallen soldiers to Ukraine's national history and state. It places the dead of the Euromaidan and the forms and functions of the emerging new cult of the dead in the context of older cults from pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet times from various Ukrainian regions until the end of the presidency of Petro Poroshenko in 2019. The contributions emphasize the importance of the grassroot level, of local and regional actors or memory entrepreneurs, myths of state origin and national defense demanding unity, and the dynamics of commemorative practices in the last thirty years in relation to pluralist and fragmented processes of nationand state-building. They contribute to new conceptualizations of the political cult of the dead.
