Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Christian Literature written by George Thomas Kurian and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The written word is one of the defining elements of Christian experience. As vigorous in the 1st century as it is in the 21st, Christian literature has had a significant function in history, and teachers and students need to be reminded of this powerful literary legacy. Covering 2,000 years, The Encyclopedia of Christian Literature is the first encyclopedia devoted to Christian writers and books. In addition to an overview of the Christian literature, this two-volume set also includes 40 essays on the principal genres of Christian literature and more than 400 bio-bibliographical essays describing the principal writers and their works. These essays examine the evolution of Christian thought as reflected in the literature of every age. The companion volume also features bibliographies, an index, a timeline of Christian Literature, and a list of the greatest Christian authors. The encyclopedia will appeal not only to scholars and Christian evangelicals, but students and teachers in seminaries and theological schools, as well as to the growing body of Christian readers and bibliophiles.

Download or read book The Art of Reading Scripture written by Ellen F. Davis and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2003-10-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difficulty of interpreting the Bible is felt all over today. Is the Bible still authoritative for the faith and practice of the church? If so, in what way? What practices of reading offer the most appropriate approach to understanding Scripture? The church's lack of clarity about these issues has hindered its witness and mission, causing it to speak with an uncertain voice to the challenges of our time. This important book is for a twenty-first-century church that seems to have lost the art of reading the Bible attentively and imaginatively. The Art of Reading Scripture is written by a group of eminent scholars and teachers seeking to recover the church's rich heritage of biblical interpretation in a dramatically changed cultural environment. Asking how best to read the Bible in a postmodern context, the contributors together affirm up front "Nine Theses" that provide substantial guidance for the church. The essays and sermons that follow both amplify and model the approach to Scripture outlined in the Nine Theses. Lucidly conceived, carefully written, and shimmering with fresh insights, The Art of Reading Scripture proposes a far-reaching revolution in how the Bible is taught in theological seminaries and calls pastors and teachers in the church to rethink their practices of using the Bible.

Download or read book Power from the Word written by Donald Anyagwa and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have, through this compiled work, Power from the Word: Sunday Homilies for Cycle B, tried to make alive and active Gods Word to us through the liturgical readings for Sundays and Feast Days of the occurring year. The arrangement and methodology flow from those of Cycle AAdvent-Christmas-Lent-Easter-Ordinary Time-Feast Days. Through the homilies, I gave more consideration to what goes around our todays human situations than how it happened when Jesus was walking alongside the streets of Judea and Galilee and working amongst people with different cultural settings. Nevertheless, his teachings and approaches are the indispensable yardstick. And this is what any homilist has to bear in mind, even when this book is considered worthwhile making reference to in preparing homilies for the People of God. Nonetheless, reading through the homilies of this presentation for personal reflection and growth in spiritualityoutside the Sunday liturgyis entirely a different thing. It could be a stitch on time!

Download or read book Liturgico Political Theology an Introduction Liturgy and Life as Foundation written by Rev. Fr. Dr. Raphael Olawale Igbaoyinbo MSP and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces Liturgico-Political Theology, whose bedrock is the reality of the Paschal Mystery of Christ and the fruit it has borne for humanity: salvation. It presents this embrace of theology, liturgy and politics as part of the effects of the Christ Jesus won for humanity in His victorious death on Good Friday. It reiterates the inseparable connection between liturgy and life, in a way that liturgical celebrations do not leave those who take part passive and inactive persons. Hence, proceeding through an hermeneutic study of liturgical orations of various Masses as presented in the Roman Missal, the underlining messages and tasks given to political leaders in particular, and public servants in general, are articulated. They come to realize that the ultimate goal of politicking, is to emulate the selflessness of Jesus in serving humanity.

Download or read book Mercies Remembered written by Matthew R. Mauriello and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreward: Fr. Mauriello shares what he has shared with himself and his hearers over the span of his 22 years as a priest. He presents his thoughts so simply that their profundity resonates with the challenge to any willing hearer or reader. And so, let us read on and then revisit the veritable treasure paged out before us. If we do, as I see it, we will be helped spiritually, now laughing, now lifting the eyebrow, but regularly finding what Cardinal Newman calls, "heart speaking to heart." + Lambert Reilly, O.S.B. Archabbot Emeritus St. Meinrad, IN From the Introduction: These pages have been written with humility and appreciation for the many blessings and mercies that I have received. They are threefold: God's mercy to others of which I have witnessed or learned, God's mercy which I have received, and my priestly ministry as an instrument of bringing God's mercy to others. I hope that the reader will learn more about the bountiful mercy of the Lord, realize His mercy in their lives and bring that mercy to others as we help each other persevere on the path that brings us to the kingdom of heaven. About the Author: Rev. Matthew R. Mauriello was born in New Jersey in 1956 and ordained to the Holy Priesthood in the Marian Year 1988. He earned the Licentiate in Sacred Theology in the Theology of Mary from the International Marian Research Institute in Dayton, Ohio, a branch of the Pontifical Marianum University in Rome. In 2007, Fr. Matt was appointed as a member of the Executive International Committee for the World Apostolic Congress on Mercy, representing North America. He is the Pastor of St. Roch Church, Greenwich, CT. In 2003, he was named an Honorary Canon of the Cathedral Basilica of Orvieto, Italy.

Download or read book Guide for Celebrating Reconciliation written by J. Philip Horrigan and published by LiturgyTrainingPublications. This book was released on 2018 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the encounter of the penitent with the mercy of God is one of the most transforming moments in the spiritual life of a Catholic. The ritual itself has changed throughout history, but the purpose of the sacrament has remained the same: to seek the forgiveness of the Lord and to renew one’s efforts to live as a faithful and loving disciple of Jesus Christ. This resource provides pastoral insights for celebrating individual confession, communal Reconciliation services, and non-sacramental penance services with attention given to liturgical ministries, liturgical environment, and evangelization.
