Download or read book Meditations on the Psalms written by Ronald Knox and published by . This book was released on 2023-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A translator, comments Monsignor Ronald Knox in his On Englishing the Bible, has two methods at his disposal: the literal and the literary. In translating Sacred Scripture "for the benefit of a person who wants to be able to read the word of God for ten minutes on end without laying it aside in sheer boredom or bewilderment," then only a literary translation will suffice. And such is the "Knox Bible," the fruit of nine years' solitary labor to craft a fresh translation of the sacred texts. That labor had a strong foundation in the abiding affection for and familiarity with Scripture on display in Meditations on the Psalms. In these fifty-two meditations, Knox leads his readers "from the less to the more 'interior' levels of the spiritual life," treating on select Psalms from the Douay-Rheims Bible as they pertain to the Christian life in general and the interior life in particular; observances of the Church; and "Songs of Ascents" toward ultimate unity with God. Pope Benedict XVI once described the Psalms as a "school of prayer." With Meditations on the Psalms, Ronald Knox serves as an excellent teacher in that school, cultivating with firm faith and deep conviction the capacity to speak to God in the words that God himself has given.

Download or read book Psalm Culture and Early Modern English Literature written by Hannibal Hamlin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psalm Culture and Early Modern English Literature examines the powerful influence of the biblical Psalms on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature. It explores the imaginative, beautiful, ingenious and sometimes ludicrous and improbable ways in which the Psalms were 'translated' from ancient Israel to Renaissance and Reformation England. No biblical book was more often or more diversely translated than the Psalms during the period. In church psalters, sophisticated metrical paraphrases, poetic adaptations, meditations, sermons, commentaries, and through biblical allusions in secular poems, plays, and prose fiction, English men and women interpreted the Psalms, refashioning them according to their own personal, religious, political, or aesthetic agendas. The book focuses on literature from major writers like Shakespeare and Milton to less prominent ones like George Gascoigne, Mary Sidney Herbert and George Wither, but it also explores the adaptations of the Psalms in musical settings, emblems, works of theology and political polemic.

Download or read book Benedict XVI A Life Volume One written by Peter Seewald and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By any reckoning, the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI was extraordinary, with moments of high drama. Not the least of these was his resignation from office in February 2013, the first papal resignation in 500 years. But who is Joseph Ratzinger? In this definitive biography, based on meticulous historical research and many hours of taped interviews with his subject, Peter Seewald shows the exceptional circumstances in which the exceptionally talented son of a Bavarian policeman became the first German pope for 950 years. In this first volume, covering the years 1927–1965, we witness Joseph Ratzinger's early days, living above his father's police station. Ratzinger came to adulthood through the years of National Socialism. Though hostile to the rise of Hitler, his family knew well about Dachau and Ratzinger himself was conscripted into the Hitler Youth. Joseph Ratzinger proved to be a man of exceptional intellectual gifts and by the time of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) he was already noted as one of the outstanding intellects present and was nominated a 'peritus' or theological expert. This was also the time of the start of his friendship with the Swiss theologian Hans Küng who was to become his nemesis. Of his predecessor, Pope Francis has said: 'Pope Benedict was a great Pope, great for the penetration of his intelligence, great for his important contribution to theology, great for his love of the Church and human beings, great for his virtues and faith'. Even in this first volume, we begin to understand how this came to be true.

Download or read book Meditations on the Psalms written by Ronald A. Knox and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing the numerous subjects each Psalm contains, the recognition of this must require deep reflection and close logical reasoning to trace its development and depth of meanings. We are glad to notice in the present volume the same firmness of conviction and robust faith that appear in the author's apologetic works, and that his meditations on the psalms tend to form solid virtues rather than sentimental affections. He faces squarely objections as they occur. For instance to the permission of evil, of pain and sorrow, the most popular argument against the existence of a good God, he replies that evil is permitted to teach us detachment that earth is not our home and to prepare us for eternity. A great guide for understanding the Psalms, this book brings out the meaning of the psalms in a devout and intelligent way. A thought-provoking book, very suitable for private prayer and spiritual meditation.
