Book Love Does Not Seek Its Own

Download or read book Love Does Not Seek Its Own written by Jonathan D. Ryan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book arises out of contemporary questions regarding the nature and formation of the church amidst an economically divided society. Looking to Augustine of Hippo for guidance, Jonathan D. Ryan argues that the movement from private self-interest toward common love of God and neighbor is fundamental to the church's formation and identity amidst contemporary contexts of economic inequality. Ryan demonstrates the centrality of this theme in Augustine's Sermons and his monastic instruction (principally the Rule), illustrating how it shapes his pastoral guidance on matters pertinent to economic division, including use of material resources, and attitudes toward rich and poor. By reading Augustine's Sermons alongside his monastic instruction, this volume allows for a closer understanding of how Augustine's vision of a common life is reflected in his pastoral guidance to the wider congregation. The book's concluding reflections consider what the church in our time might learn from these aspects of Augustine's teaching regarding the formation of a common life, as members are drawn together in love of God and neighbour.

Book Methodologies in Systematic Theology

Download or read book Methodologies in Systematic Theology written by Louis Roy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers eager to seek an improved understanding of the Good News, this book provides a way of better construing the Christian message. It begins with the church fathers, continues with the medieval thinkers, and covers modernity’s doubters who published critiques of faith and elaborated new conceptions of faith. It thus surveys the various theological methods that were employed over two thousand years of Christian experience. The principal theologians and philosophers that are presented here are Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Schleiermacher, Lonergan, Ricœur, Congar, and Geffré. The author also presents several modern authors’ nuanced assessments of historicity, which fashioned and are still fashioning a large variety of cultures. This sense of history has allowed scholars to appreciate both the particular and the permanent in religious studies that convey meanings. The originality of the author of this volume consists in combining a competence in systematic interpretations with an expertise in pastoral theology. In addition, readers will find in these pages a living ecumenical dialogue characterized by correct construals of those “others” whose understandings of religion may appear as contradicting one’s own views.

Book Augustine s Theology of the Resurrection

Download or read book Augustine s Theology of the Resurrection written by Augustine M. Reisenauer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Augustine M. Reisenauer, O.P. provides a comprehensive study of Augustine's theology of the resurrection, the human return from death to life. Contextualizing Augustine within the early Church and the intellectual and religious cultures of the late Roman Empire,he interrogates the development of Augustine's thoughts on the historical resurrection of Jesus Christ, the spiritual resurrection of the soul in time, and the fleshly resurrection of the body at the end of time. Augustine offers profound insights into issues of personal and communal identity, human continuity and transformation, historical and eschatological events, and the God of the resurrection. He also elaborates a biblical paradigm that acknowledges how the resurrected Christ offers an intrinsic participation in his paschal mystery to the souls and bodies of the rest of humanity. Proposing fresh ideas regarding a central topic in Christian theology, Reisenauer's, study also reveals Augustine's defenses of the resurrection against its pagan, philosophical and heretical opponents.

Book Confucian Questions to Augustine

Download or read book Confucian Questions to Augustine written by JunSoo Park and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Confucian Questions to Augustine, Park compares the works of Confucius and Mencius with those of Saint Augustine. His purpose in so doing is to show Confucian Augustinianism as a new theological perspective on Confucian-Christian ethics and Augustinianism by discovering analogies and differences in their respective understandings of the formation of moral self, particularly the acquisition of virtue, and how they believe this leads to happiness. Using the method of inter-textual reasoning, and assuming continuity between Augustine's early and later works, he compares Confucius and Mencius's xue, si, li, and yue with Augustine's moral learning, contemplation, sacrament, and music, respectively. Confucian Augustinianism shows how to enjoy God, follow Jesus, and live in the Holy Spirit.

Book Discerning the Good in the Letters   Sermons of Augustine

Download or read book Discerning the Good in the Letters Sermons of Augustine written by Joseph Clair and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discerning the Good in the Letters and Sermons of Augustine turns to the vast collection of moral advice found in Augustine's letters and sermons, mining these neglected and highly illuminating texts for examples of Augustine's application of his own moral concepts. It focuses on letters and sermons in which Augustine offers concrete advice on how to interact with the various goods relevant to social and political life. A special set of goods reappears throughout the letters and sermons, namely sexual intimacy and domestic life, power and public office, and wealth and private possessions. Together, these goods form the central topics of this book. Joseph Clair highlights that the most revealing cases are those in which an individual must choose between competing goods, and cases in which an individual's role and role—specific obligations inform their decisions. Such cases uncover the nimbleness of Augustine's moral reasoning in action—an artful blend of scriptural interpretation, virtue theory, and sensitivity to the circumstances of individual lives. He reveals that Augustine's understanding of the goods constitutive of social and political life is deeply indebted to the Stoic and Peripatetic doctrine of oikeiōsis, or "social appropriation". The colorful, personal, and practical details found in these writings provide a window onto Augustine's moral reasoning not available in his more theoretical treatments of the good, and the concrete cases often illustrate the human significance of properly discerning the good. Beyond providing one of the first analyses of these ethical writings, this work contributes a new sense of Augustine's ethics—both in terms of the range of questions he addresses and the manner in which he treats them.

Book Speaking in Tongues  A Critical Historical Examination  Volume 2

Download or read book Speaking in Tongues A Critical Historical Examination Volume 2 written by Philip E. Blosser and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In three carefully researched volumes, this ground-breaking study examines the gift of tongues through two thousand years of church history. Starting in the present and working back in time, these volumes consider (1) the modern redefinition of “tongues” as a private prayer language; (2) the church’s perennial understanding of “tongues” as ordinary human languages; and (3) the Corinthian “tongues,” which, in light of Jewish liturgical tradition, turn out to have been a Semitic liturgical language requiring bilingual interpreters. This second volume tracks the perception and practice of tongues back through the first eighteen hundred years of church history, demonstrating that “tongue-speaking” was always active but puzzlingly different from today’s glossolalia. From Pope Benedict XIV’s detailed treatise in the 1700s, it works back through long-forgotten scholastic and patristic debates to the earliest Christian writers such as Irenaeus. No other resource on the subject approaches the depth and scope of the present volume.

Book Augustine   S Spirit Soul Analogy

Download or read book Augustine S Spirit Soul Analogy written by Gabriel Mendy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fr. Dr. Mendy offers us a provocative insight into communion ecclesiology by indicating the relationship between the presence of spirit in both a person's body and in the Church. His text informs and invites us to deepen our understanding of Theological Anthropology and Ecclesiology in an interrelational mode. Most importantly, Mendy brings to bear a more "African" understanding of Spirit which stretches and expands traditional western views." Prof. George Worgul, Professor Duquesne University "Gabriel Mendy's book represents a significant contribution to Pneumatology by being rooted in the tradition of the Church, in dialogue with contemporary theologians, Catholic authoritative statements, and the African context. Those interested in recent developments in Pneumatology, the dialogue between Church Fathers and modernity, as well as issues of inculturation, will find Mendy's book extremely captivating." Dr. Radu Bordeianu, Associate Professor, Duquesne University
