Download or read book Indulgences Luther Catholicism and the Imputation of Merit written by Mary C. Moorman and published by Emmaus Academic. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the five-hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses and the dawn of the Protestant movement, Indulgences: Luther, Catholicism, and the Imputation of Merit sets forth a revised theological interpretation of the Church’s practice of indulgences. Author Mary C. Moorman argues that Luther’s sola fide theology merely absolutized the very logic of indulgences which he sought to overthrow, while indulgences in their proper context remain an irreducible witness to the Church’s corporate nuptial covenant with Christ, by which penitents are drawn into deeper fellowship with the Church and the Church’s Lord. As Robert W. Shaffern, Professor of Medieval History at the University of Scranton, writes in his foreword to Indulgences, “Mary Moorman’s book joins a number of recent scholarly studies that revise substantially the old convictions about indulgences. She is mostly interested in how theological thinking about indulgences should be done today, with of course the help that patristic, medieval, and early modern authorities might lend. She brings to bear a broad range of primary and secondary sources on the issue of indulgences and constructs an impressive series of covalent images with which to understand the role of indulgences in today’s Christian Church.”

Book excerpt: From "the world's greatest tour guide," a deeply-researched, captivating journey through the rich history of Christianity and the winding paths of the French and Italian countryside that will feed mind, body, and soul (New York Times). "What a wondrous work! This beautifully written and totally clear-eyed account of his pilgrimage will have you wondering whether we should all embark on such a journey, either of the body, the soul or, as in Egan's case, both." --Cokie Roberts "Egan draws us in, making us feel frozen in the snow-covered Alps, joyful in valleys of trees with low-hanging fruit, skeptical of the relics of embalmed saints and hopeful for the healing of his encrusted toes, so worn and weathered from their walk."--The Washington Post Moved by his mother's death and his Irish Catholic family's complicated history with the church, Timothy Egan decided to follow in the footsteps of centuries of seekers to force a reckoning with his own beliefs. He embarked on a thousand-mile pilgrimage through the theological cradle of Christianity to explore the religion in the world that it created. Egan sets out along the Via Francigena, once the major medieval trail leading the devout to Rome, and travels overland via the alpine peaks and small mountain towns of France, Switzerland and Italy, accompanied by a quirky cast of fellow pilgrims and by some of the towering figures of the faith--Joan of Arc, Henry VIII, Martin Luther. The goal: walking to St. Peter's Square, in hopes of meeting the galvanizing pope who is struggling to hold together the church through the worst crisis in half a millennium. A thrilling journey, a family story, and a revealing history, A Pilgrimage to Eternity looks for our future in its search for God.

Download or read book Self Indulgence written by Brendan Kane and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eliot Byrne, a single, 30-year-old stoner and failing author of children's books, is resigned to rejection, poverty, and a life without purpose, but when his family intervenes and communicates their concern (actually their assumption) that he might (must) be suicidal, Eliot, out of spite, is forced to try to prove them wrong. Eliot decides to upend his life, as he tells Amber, his weed dealer and only friend, "I'm giving away everything I own and leaving to wander the desert until I become a guru." Amber cannot withhold her skepticism, however, "Guru just means teacher. You can probably get a license from community college - I'm not sure how far the desert is going to get you." Is Eliot answering a higher calling, or is he going off the deep end? Is he in the midst of a legitimate existential crisis, or has it just been too many years since he's been laid? He hopes to learn the answers during his odyssey through contemporary Los Angeles, a place as stimulating as it is isolating. The eccentrics he meets along the way are more than happy to baptize him in their personal methods of deriving purpose in life. First, a group of adult entertainers educate him in the joys of hedonism. Failing to fit in, he then takes up with a Pastor who, via organized religion, attempts to show him that the best thing to stroke is his own immortal soul. Despite envying the ecstatic, faith-filled people he meets, there's one pesky thing that prevents Eliot from joining up with them: his faculty for logic and common sense. For all his seeking, Eliot learns that "meaning" can only come from one place - it must be extracted from one's own posterior. So, should he concoct a life-purpose so he can gloat to his parents and siblings, or should he just give in and kill himself?

Book excerpt: Enter bestselling author Erin Kellison's captivating new world of gods, monsters, passion, and games... Terah Crane knows not to tempt the gods. A happy life--or at least an uncomplicated one--involves no gods at all. And since her loving grandfather bought her an Indulgence that exempts her from their service, she can focus on her other problems--the fact that her recent divorce has left her broke, unemployed, and reeling. Seeking a fresh start, Terah packs everything she owns into her beat-up car and moves to her family's empty country cottage--never mind that deadly firedrakes occasionally wander into the garden. When an unlikely flood carries a cracked pillar of stone from a nearby shrine right to Terah's doorstep, it seems the gods demand her service after all. The man trapped inside the monolith is still alive, and Terah's reluctant task is to resurrect him, his godkiller of a sword--and his fury for vengeance. The gods' awesome powers are matched only by their careless, capricious whims--and vulnerable mortals are often the ones to suffer and die. Now, the gods are watching Terah, making her a pawn in their savage game. Her survival depends upon navigating a new world of peril and treachery, taking up a weapon, and making a fateful move of her own...
Download or read book Greater Expectations written by William Damon and published by Free Press. This book was released on 1996-08-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greater Expectations is the book that exposed the low standards that children are confronted with in our homes, our schools, and throughout our culture. It exploded many of the misconceptions about children and how to raise them, including the cult of self-esteem, "child-centered" learning, and other overly indulgent practices that have been watering down the education and guidance that we are providing our young people. It disclosed how the self-centered ethic is damaging our youth. Greater Expectations started America talking about these issues and about how young people need to be provided with challenges and a sense of purpose if we want them to survive and thrive in life. Provocative and challenging, Greater Expectations was a wake-up call, a must-read for anyone concerned about the growing youth crisis in America and what we can do about it.
