Download or read book How the Holy Cross was Found written by Stephan Borgehammar and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beams of wood thought to be the Cross of Christ were venerated in Jerusalem from the time of Constantine the Great and on. Part I of this study investigates the earliest traditions about how those beams came to be there. Several accounts about the so-called Finding of the True Cross from just before and after the year 400 are extant, and these are shown to have drawn on a Jerusalemitic source, probably a story told to pilgrims. The story was stable and may have been told in the same way already in the 330's. that a find was indeed made soon after Constantine's victory over Licinius, probably in the spring of 325. Composed in Jerusalem between 415 and 450 AD it was the deliberate transformation of the original into an argument in favour of Christianity addressed to Jews. A final in the Appendix, the Latin translation of the transformed story is critically edited for the first time, together with two other medieval Latin translations which have never been published before.

Book excerpt: The dramatic story of how an American housewife discovered that the Guatemalan child she was about to adopt had been stolen from her birth mother Over the last decade, nearly 200,000 children have been adopted into the United States, 25,000 of whom came from Guatemala. Finding Fernanda, a dramatic true story paired with investigative reporting, tells the side-by-side tales of an American woman who adopted a two-year-old girl from Guatemala and the birth mother whose two children were stolen from her.

Finding Fernanda is an overdue, unprecedented look at adoption corruption—and a poignant, riveting human story about the power of hope, faith, and determination.
Download or read book The Finding of the Cross written by Louis de Combes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work begins: THIRTY-SEVEN years after the Passion of Christ, the Jerusalem which He had known was wiped out of existence by the legionaries of Titus; in the next century Adrian had the ruins cleared, and buried what remained of the Holy Places beneath the foundations of a new city, to which he gave the name of .Aelia Capitolina; Constantine's misdirected piety pushed even further the work of destruction, for after having brought to light Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre, he had the ground levelled, so that there relnained above the surface only the tomb of Christ and the block of granite which once had borne the Cross. Since the tinle of Constantine matters have gone steadily from bad to worse; the Persians under Chosroas, the workmen of the monk Modestus, Omar's Arabs, and Hakem's incendiaries, Constantine Monomachus, later on the Crusaders, and lastly the Turks, have all done their share towards obliterating the relnaining traces of antiquity. There are the places which have been sanctified by the blood of Christ and the tears of the Blessed Virgin and of the Holy Women? There is the stone on which the angel sat? Where was that last scene enacted which re-opened to sinful humanity the gates of the heaven it had lost? To reconstruct the scene, to find the position of Golgotha and of the garden belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, to put together, in a word, the local framework of the greatest event in history, the Christian is reduced to groping among the works of Josephus and the few faint vestiges of the past which casual excavations bring to light; the most he can do is to dream of things which he can no longer see. This archreological raising up of that which is now no more would require a lengthier consideration and discussion than we can well afford to give now, hence our readers must pardon us if our description of the Holy Places is very summary.

Download or read book Needles in haystacks written by Madga Nico and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Young) lives are cross-sectoral by nature, and youth policy also needs to be so. Cross-sectorality is a well-known aspect of youth policy, but the importance of this aspect does not translate into a common understanding of what cross-sectoral youth policy means and of the ways it can be developed. This book is a collection of articles detailing concrete experiences of cross-sectoral youth policy implementation. It starts with the idea that the efficacy and the sustainability of cross-sectoral youth policy depends on the degree and nature of interaction between various youth policy subdomains and levels, ranging from legal frameworks to interinstitutional or interpersonal relations, and from pan-European to local level. By making these examples available, this book will hopefully support the development of a common understanding of what cross-sectoral youth policy means in different countries and settings. The authors themselves reflect the diversity of the people involved in youth policy (policy makers, youth researchers, youth workers and workers in the field of youth) and this work represents their intention to provide these professionals – as well as others interested in the youth field – with the knowledge necessary to implement, in a real-life scenario, cross-sectoral youth policy.
Download or read book It Is Finished written by Darrell W. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly two thousand years ago a young Jewish rabbi known as Jesus of Nazareth was nailed to wooden beams and hoisted above the skyline of the city of Jerusalem. Christians ever since have proclaimed that this event, symbolized by the cross, lies at the very center of their faith. Indeed, they have claimed that in the cross event God has actually "saved the world." But how could a single man's execution centuries ago have anything to do with us in the twenty-first century? In these meditations, Darrell Johnson probes the mystery and majesty of the cross, exploring it from various angles and illuminating this core belief of Christian faith in its multiple dimensions. Darrell W. Johnson has served as a professor at Regent College, Vancouver, since the Fall of 2000, teaching in the areas of preaching, worship and pastoral theology. He is known for his faithful and engaging exposition of Scripture. Before joining the Regent faculty, he served as pastor of a number of Presbyterian congregations in the United States, as well as Union Church of Manila, Philippines. He is the author of Experiencing the Trinity, Fifty-Seven Words That Change the World (on the Lord's Prayer) and Discipleship of the Edge (on the book of Revelation).
