Book excerpt: There aren’t many stories of Mary in the Gospels, but the stories we do have tell us more about Mary and her relationship with both Jesus and us than we probably realize. In Mary: Jesus’ Mother—and Ours, Six Weeks with the Bible series editor Kevin Perrotta looks closely and thoughtfully at six key episodes in the Gospels in which Mary figures prominently, including the angelic announcement of Jesus’ birth to Mary, the wedding in Cana, and the crucifixion of Jesus. In addition to the Gospel stories themselves, Perrotta provides essential facts on the culture and context in which each episode is set, as well as additional information on Mary that comes from Church Tradition. While Mary: Jesus’ Mother—and Ours can be used by individuals engaging in private Scripture reading, it is an ideal resource for group Bible study. Each session contains many helpful questions for discussion, and a group prayer experience concludes each session. A “How to Use This Guide” section at the start of the book makes it easy for even a novice to serve as group facilitator. For all who are interested in deepening their understanding of and relationship with Mary, this book is sure to serve as an excellent starting point. The Six Weeks with the Bible series of Bible discussion guides offers both in a concise six-week format. Whether focusing on a specific biblical book or exploring a theme that runs throughout the Bible, these practical guides in this series provide meaningful insights that explain Scripture while helping readers make connections to their own lives.

Book excerpt: Sylvia Browne, in her own inimitable style, again defies convention in this uniquely informative compilation of diligently researched facts and personal accounts about the premise of a female divinity - namely, the Mother God (also known as the feminine principle). Spanning time, from the earliest beginnings of humankind when ''Goddess worship'' was at its peak, to the current era with its myriad beliefs and religions, Sylvia takes us on a journey of discovery, where she discusses the suppression of the ''Mother Goddess'' by the male-dominated politics of modern-day religious dogma. Using a combination of historical data and poignant and heartwarming stories that reveal the power and miracles attributed to the Mother God, Sylvia leads us from the question of ''Does She exist?'' to the logical, fact-based conclusion that She does ... and then shows us how to call on Her to help us in our everyday lives.

Book excerpt: Like any famous music group, Mary Mary has a significant fan base. While most celebrities' fans would be content knowing their group's favourite colours or fashion designers, the fans of Mary Mary look for more from this groundbreaking duo: they want to know how to live a creative, successful Christian life. In sharing Mary Mary's story, this is as much a guide to life as it is a biography. Many Christians, including musicians and other entertainers, have felt the push to sacrifice their morals or abandon their faith in exchange for commercial success. But legions of Christian fans hunger for artists who have 'made it' without compromising their walks with God. Mary Mary is one such group -- and with a Grammy, a Soul Train Award, and an NAACP Image Award nomination to prove it, they have been enormously successful. This book takes readers along on Erica and Tina Atkins' journey from growing up in Inglewood, California, with gospel-singing parents and six other siblings to singing with secular R&B and soul performers, to putting out platinum-selling Christian albums, all without selling out their beliefs.The sisters share how their faith in Jesus Christ helped them to overcome personal and professional obstacles. This book appeals not only to Christians, but also to anyone who appreciates strong music and a strong sense of integrity.

Download or read book Vatican Ii on Mary the Case for the Definition of the Spiritual Motherhood of Mary written by Douglas Nnamdi Egbuonu and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to show that the formal definition of the spiritual Motherhood of Mary would constitute a doctrinal development from Vatican IIs teaching on Mary. It is my strong view that Marys spiritual motherhood should be explicitly acknowledged, accepted and stamped with the extra-ordinary infallibility of the Church magisterium so that it would become a dogma of the Church, as the sensus fidelium. Such formal definition would give the doctrine the seal of juridical authenticity and prevent it from denigration and rejection in future. This study argues that the Catholic Church needs to advance forwards from the Marian teaching of Vatican II by making concerted efforts to maintain the Marian trajectory in the Church. Also portrayed are the efforts of the papal magisterium and some noted Catholic theologians that have gone back to the sources of the early Fathers of the Church in order to teach that Marys spiritual Motherhood has solid foundation on Scripture and the Churchs tradition. The post-conciliar teachings of the above-stated papal magisterium and contemporary theologians have the aim to nurture and sustain the faith and understanding of the people of God about Marys spiritual Motherhood. The study also examines evidence to show that there is much in the Catholic Marian theology that could improve understanding among Christians of different denominations. In particular, it portrays the fact that Mariology always points to Christ, being indissolubly linked with Christology, and also has intrinsic unity with ecclesiology.
Download or read book Selected Essays Volume II written by Andrew Louth and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken together, these two volumes collect seventy-five essays written by Professor Andrew Louth over a forty-year period. Louth's contribution to scholarship and theology has always been significant, and these essays have been collected from journals and edited collections, many of which are difficult to access, and are here made available over two thought-provoking and wide-ranging volumes. Volume II collects essays on a variety of theological topics, arranged chronologically, showing the development of Louth's thought since 1978. Throughout this collection the nature of 'theology', as it is understood within Orthodox tradition, is a constant concern. These essays offer distinctive reflections on categories -- such as 'development of doctrine' -- that have become foundational in modern western thought but which must be viewed rather differently from an Orthodox perspective. The legacy of modern Russian Orthodox thought -- especially the key figures of the twentieth century Russian diaspora -- is under constant consideration, and forms a constant dialogue partner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church’s Marian beliefs have constantly shed light on other teachings, and the Theology of the Body is no exception. In this compilation of essays, some of the world’s most foremost Mariologists and experts on the Theology of the Body share their insights on how Mary illuminates the message of the Theology of the Body in a profound way. As the Mother of God, Mary provided Jesus with His body, a body that would be offered on the cross for our redemption. She bore witness to His bodily resurrection and ascension, and she herself was assumed bodily into heaven. Through an understanding of Mary’s role in salvation history, we are able to see more clearly our personal roles in the Christian life. In this book you will learn about: ● The nuptial meaning of the body in the marriage of Joseph and Mary ● The Immaculate Conception and the human person ● The significance of Mary as virgin and mother ● The Virgin Mary and the culture of life ● The image of God in the image of Mary as model Christian

Download or read book The World Transparent written by Nina Butorac and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Transparent examines the spiritual themes that have populated our Western and Christian tradition for many centuries. From a sacramental standpoint, and using forty well-loved films as illustrations, The World Transparent endeavors to guide the reader through a process of formation and towards a mature understanding of the Christian faith; not only as an intellectual exploration, but as a spiritually lived experience. Its focus is on the virtues, as they help to form us to live purposeful lives and attain happiness; on conscience, as it directs our judgment and moral actions; on grace, as it lifts up our nature and works to perfect it; on the sacraments, as they confer the graces that enable us to meet life's struggles; and on the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, as they immerse us in the order of grace and direct us to the source of our redemption in Christ. Each of these sacred themes is augmented by beauty and by the sacramental qualities found in great art, in powerful stories, and shot through, eminently, by classic, masterful film.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the Mariology of one of the most unique and fascinating thinkers in the Russian Orthodox tradition, Father Sergius Bulgakov. Bulgakov develops the Russian sophianic mariological tradition initiated by Vladimir Solo’ev and argues that Mary is the "soul of the world" or the pneumatological hypostasis. Mary is the first and greatest disciple to be adopted by the Holy Spirit. By situating Mary within the life and mission of the Holy Spirit, Bulgakov maintains the respect and veneration that Orthodox Christians have for Mary, but also places Mary squarely within the community of disciples. Mary is a model disciple, who reveals that the goal of the spiritual life, spiritual motherhood. In addition, this text reveals the relevance and importance of Bulgakov’s contribution to the contemporary discussion about the role of Mary in the history of salvation.
