Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wisdom of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus) contains the sayings of Ben Sira, arguably the last of Israel's wise men and its first professional scribe, whose world was defined and dominated by Greek ideas and ideals. This Hellenistic worldview challenged the adequacy of the religion passed down to the Palestinian Jews of the second century B.C.E. by their ancestors. Ben Sira's training in both Judaic and Hellenistic literary traditions prepared him to meet this challenge. He vigorously opposed any compromise of Jewish values; and his teachings bolstered the faith and confidence of his people. Through its elegant poetry and vehement exhortations, The Wisdom of Ben Sira exposes the ill effects of sinful behavior on one's health, status, and spiritual and material well-being. Ben Sira's rigorous code of moral behavior was the measure of Jewish faithfulness in an era of ethical and religious bankruptcy.

Book excerpt: Book Excerpt: But there was no great need for caution at present. The oldpriest who had spoken to him before stepped a little in advanceof the rest, and turning, said in a low sentence or two to theBenedictines; and the group stopped, though one or two stilleyed, it seemed, with sympathy, the man who awaited him. Then thepriest came up alone and put his hand on the arm of the chair."Come out this way," he whispered. "There's a path behind, Monsignor, and I've sent orders for the car to be there."The man rose obediently (he could do nothing else), passed downthe steps and behind the canopy. A couple of police stood therein an unfamiliar, but unmistakable uniform, and these drewthemselves up and saluted. They went on down the little pathwayand out through a side-gate. Here again the crowd was tremendous, but barriers kept them away, and the two passed on togetheracross the pavement, saluted by half a dozen men who were pressedagainst the barriers--(it was here, for the first time, that thebewildered manRead Mo

Download or read book Evil and the Devil written by Erkki Koskenniemi and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of evil has preoccupied world religions for centuries. The Old Testament contained no uniform dogma on evil powers, launching a fierce debate that has dominated theological and philosophical thought through the centuries to this day. Evil and the Devil brings together contributions from leading inter national scholars to chart that debate, tracing the history of evil from its origins in the Old Testament through early Judaism and the New Testament to the thought of Origen and one of the topic's most influential theologians, Augustine. What role did evil adopt in ancient Judaism? What impact did the association of miracles with demons have upon Matthew's Gospel? Evil and the Devil examines such questions, resulting in a fascinating and comprehensive exploration of portrayals of evil and its power and influence on religious thought.
Download or read book The Great Betrayal written by Hugh Ross Williamson and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British writer Hugh Ross Williamson (1901-1978), an Anglo-Catholic priest who converted to Catholicism in 1955 and a prolific writer of drama and history, wrote two pamphlets, in 1969 and 1970, expressing his conviction that the Novus Ordo Missae represented not a reform of the Roman Rite of Mass but a devastating corruption of it. His background equipped him well to discern the signs of Protestantism and of Modernism as they appeared in the replacement liturgical books, and his conscience bid him speak up against what he called 'the great betrayal' (an ironic echo of his 1955 book on the Roman Canon, The Great Prayer). While many traditionalists would not concur with certain of his conclusions, his intelligent work, motivated by an obvious love for the Faith, helps us to remember today the anguish of spirit through which our forebears had to pass as they saw the heritage for which they converted being dismantled rite by rite.

Download or read book The Living Room written by Graham Greene and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illicit affair of a devout woman in London ignites a shattering family crisis in the author’s “ruthlessly honest” first play (The Guardian). In a dour Holland Park house with rooms and secrets long shuttered live three unyielding forces for morality: rigidly religious sisters Helen and Teresa, and their brother, a Roman Catholic priest. Into the lives of this insular trio comes their young grandniece, Rose Pemberton, following the death of her mother. To the mortification of her aunts, Rose has also brought her lover, Michael Dennis, who is twenty-five years Rose’s senior, married, and a psychology lecturer dictated by reason, not faith. In a home that reeks of sanctimony, Rose and Michael are as welcome as sin. But it’s the arrival of Michael’s distraught wife—armed with righteous emotional blackmail and worse—that ignites an unexpected fury and makes real the family’s greatest fears. Premiering in London in 1953 and moving to Broadway one year later, Graham Greene’s debut as a dramatist was hailed by Kenneth Tynan as “the best first play of its generation.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Possiamo accogliere la nostra croce non come esperienza di sofferenza fine a se stessa, ma come luogo di comunione profonda» (dalla Prefazione del Card. Leonardo Sandri) Questo piccolo breviario per la Settimana Santa è un itinerario di preghiera e meditazione lungo la via della Croce, attraverso le scene ultime del Vangelo, fino alla contemplazione del mistero della Risurrezione. Il legno della Croce racchiude in sé il mistero dell’iniquità accresciuto dal peccato dell’uomo lungo la storia, ma anche la tenace decisione di Dio di salvare l’umanità in Cristo. Più forte della morte è stato l’amore vissuto da Gesù Cristo: ed è questo amore che i cristiani dovrebbero annunciare e testimoniare, con umiltà e discrezione, a tutti gli uomini e le donne del mondo.

Book excerpt: Capolavoro della letteratura cristiana, si compone di 366 meditazioni molto brevi, una per ogni giorno dell’anno. Ogni meditazione inizia con una riflessione su di un versetto del Vangelo della Passione e termina o con uno slancio affettivo che si propone di accendere in noi un amore di carità più intenso o con degli interrogativi che vogliono scuoterci dal torpore spirituale. Le meditazioni hanno un duplice obiettivo: assimilare la nostra volontà e la nostra vita alla volontà e alla vita di Dio; insegnarci l’arte di meditare. Infatti, già dopo aver seguito il testo di Chardon per una trentina di giorni, il lettore ha appreso un metodo molto facile per meditare.
