Book The Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers

Download or read book The Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers written by M F Toal DD and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a four volume set Volume 1 First Sunday in Advent to Quinquagesima Volume 2 First Sunday in Lent to the Sunday after the Ascension Volume 3 Pentecost to the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost Volume 4 Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost to the Last Sunday after Pentecost Dr Toal's work contains what is in effect the spiritual inheritance of every Christian. The four volumes together give, Sunday by Sunday and for the greater festivals and fasts, selected sermons of the great Fathers and Doctors of the Church. In the framing of the great corpus of Catholic doctrine and theology, the authority-and the influence of the Fathers are secondary only to those of the Apostles and Evangelists themselves. To one we owe the true interpretation of facts or phrases, to another the unfolding of a doctrine out of a single word; to all of them the handing on and enrichment of a tradition which runs back to the foundation of the Church. Their homilies on the liturgical Gospels for Sundays and the greater feasts and fasts cannot fail to add clarity and depth to any reader's wlderstanding of these key passages from holy scripture; and this treasury of their commentaries will above all be of constant help to priests whose office it is to preach and expound the Gospel in the continuance of the tradition. An especially valuable point is the inclusion, after the printed text of each Gospel reading, of the relevant passage of the Catena Aurea or Golden Chain. the great commentary on the Gospels compiled by St Thomas Aquinas from the writings of all the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. This has not hitherto been available in English. The four volumes correspond with the four liturgical divisions of the year. This first volume was recently published in a large format under the title Patristic Homilies on the Gospels and is now reissued in a small and handy pocket size. The subsequent volumes will appear in the same small format for the individual user and, simultaneously, in a large format for libraries. The supreme mission imposed by Christ on His Apostles was to preach the Gospel to every creature. In virtue of this mission, they to whom the command was given, and those to whom it descends. speak with authority and power in the things of God: the power being in the word given them (I Cor. ii. 4). And this alone do men wish to hear from those so commanded: the word of God in the Gospel of Christ. It is now their birthright: that wherein they hope, the source of faith. the bond of charity; "for it is in the Gospel that the form of Catholic faith, and the rule of the whole Christian life, is chiefly laid down." But it may happen that where the Faith is well established the preaching of the Gospel may no longer be regarded as an urgent task. Indeed it has come about that many, whose duty this is, do not fulfil it; though not as a rule through indifference or neglect. Various immediate reasons for this do arise, through particular circumstances. but there may possibly be a general underlying reason: a deterrent, simple. effective, but not realized, arising from the manner in which the Gospel sermons are prepared. In training the future preachers of the Gospel there is a fairly general tradition of dependence, as to form, on the great court preachers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and on their imitators. The acknowledged masterpieces of pulpit oratory of this period, elaborate, sustained. elegant, are widely used as models in seminaries and ecclesiastical colleges. Students are encouraged to imitate them; their first efforts at preaching are invariably formed on them. Afterwards, as priests, they continue to prepare their own sermons on these lines. and come to regard these forms, involving the building of a somewhat elaborate verbal structure. as the sole method of Gospel preaching.

Book The Letter of James

    Book Details:
  • Author : Addison Hodges Hart
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2018-10-15
  • ISBN : 1532650140
  • Pages : 129 pages

Download or read book The Letter of James written by Addison Hodges Hart and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Letter of James is perhaps needed more than ever today. In this commentary, Hart argues that the epistle is indeed the work of James of Jerusalem, “the brother of the Lord,” that it was an encyclical letter, and that its chief concern was to combat a distorted version of Paul’s gospel. It is a work with a singular purpose: to bring the churches back to the most basic teachings of Jesus. In its defense of orthopraxy as the primary Christian standard, its denunciation of those with wealth who exploit or neglect the poor, its hard words for those who have taken on the mantel of “teacher” without first learning to restrain their tongues, and above all its exhortation to relearn the truth that “faith without works [of love] is dead,” James could be talking to churches in our own time. This commentary presents James afresh, as a living guide with a perennial message for those who seek to follow Jesus. It is pastoral in intent, written for those who teach and preach, those who desire a more authentic discipleship, and those who practice lectio divina—the meditative reading of Scripture. (Includes the entire Greek text and the new English translation of the epistle by David Bentley Hart.)

Book Silent Rosary

  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2021-07-09
  • ISBN : 1725272326
  • Pages : 150 pages

Download or read book Silent Rosary written by Addison Hodges Hart and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty mysteries of the rosary are a circular “gallery,” a matrix of theology and spirituality. They can inspire us profoundly. For those seeking a deeper encounter in faith, these mysteries have the power to move us toward contemplation. A lengthy Introduction explains in detail the meaning of the term “mystery” in Christian thought, provides a brief history of the rosary, explains the significance of Mary in the mysteries, explores the importance of “beholding” in the Scriptures and in our spirituality, and explores Christian iconography. The centerpiece of the book is the “gallery” of the mysteries as illuminated by the iconography of Solrunn Nes, each image supplemented with explanatory commentaries by Addison Hodges Hart. The latter incorporate biblical exegesis, pertinent historical details, and insights from classical spiritual writers. The aim is to provide insight into the symbolism and typology of each mystery and to lead the reader into contemplative prayer and action. Throughout, the book unites an outward “beholding” of the mysteries of the rosary with the inner practice of the work of silence.
