Download or read book Thorns in the Flesh written by Andrew Crislip and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature of late ancient Christianity is rich both in saints who lead lives of almost Edenic health and in saints who court and endure horrifying diseases. In such narratives, health and illness might signify the sanctity of the ascetic, or invite consideration of a broader theology of illness. In Thorns in the Flesh, Andrew Crislip draws on a wide range of texts from the fourth through sixth centuries that reflect persistent and contentious attempts to make sense of the illness of the ostensibly holy. These sources include Lives of Antony, Paul, Pachomius, and others; theological treatises by Basil of Caesarea and Evagrius of Pontus; and collections of correspondence from the period such as the Letters of Barsanuphius and John. Through close readings of these texts, Crislip shows how late ancient Christians complicated and critiqued hagiographical commonplaces and radically reinterpreted illness as a valuable mode for spiritual and ascetic practice. Illness need not point to sin or failure, he demonstrates, but might serve in itself as a potent form of spiritual practice that surpasses even the most strenuous of ascetic labors and opens up the sufferer to a more direct knowledge of the self and the divine. Crislip provides a fresh and nuanced look at the contentious and dynamic theology of illness that emerged in and around the ascetic and monastic cultures of the later Roman world.

Book excerpt: Is there a war raging in you? Praise God. It's proof of your salvation. Sunday-morning love doesn't cut it, and if you die settling for it, you will miss the greatest joy and purpose this life has to offer. Is that spirit you yielded to for salvation still prompting you to let go of this world and surrender all? What are you waiting for? Will you follow him one step at a time, starting today? Have you ever wondered where God is in the midst of your circumstances and whether or not he cares? Does the sound of being pruned by God make you nervous? In Thorns of Love: A Poetic Look at the Garden of Life, Vicki Taylor shares poetic insights into growing in your Christian walk. You don't have to fear current trials. You can look forward to future closeness with God. If you have lost sight of what it means to be God's child or have trouble seeing God's hand in your day-to-day life, the poetic journey in Thorns of Love through a heart open to God's wisdom will teach you that God is crazy about you, that he will never hurt those he calls his own, and that life as God's child is an upward journey leading to a glorious future.

It culminates in the Joy of finding God in the wilderness and the ensuing complete transformation from an atheist into a believer. It is a passionate witness that God is the author of our Liberties & that He is approachable.
