Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Parole de Dieu compte de nombreuses promesses qui échappent parfois à la vigilance du lecteur le plus assidu de la Bible. On rencontre, d'ailleurs, de nombreuses personnes qui, ayant embrassé la foi depuis de longues années, peinent à comprendre le sens de l'engagement de Dieu vis-à-vis de ses enfants. Il faut l'avouer, tout dépend aussi de la manière dont nous avons été christianisés, dont nous sommes enseignés au quotidien.Notre relation avec Dieu se réduit souvent à nos participations aux différents cultes, aux prières ou aux programmes. Il devient, dès lors, difficile, voire impossible de bâtir une solide complicité avec Dieu, de connaitre Sa volonté. L'absence d'une relation suivie et assidue avec Lui nous rend vulnérables et peut permettre à n'importe quel aventurier de nous manipuler. Au Cameroun ou en Afrique aujourd'hui, il ne se passe plus un seul jour sans qu'un scandale mettant en cause des pasteurs soit relayé par la presse ou les réseaux sociaux numériques. Dieu souhaite que nous revenions vers lui avec Ses paroles, que nous le prenions au mot. Il est évident que nous ne pouvons pas le faire si nous ne connaissons pas Sa Parole. L'ignorance, considérée comme un péché (Actes 17: 30), constitue l'un des obstacles à la prière. Elle nous rend incapables de réclamer nos droits de filiation. En se fondant sur ces principes, cet ouvrage reprend quelques grandes lignes d'un livre précédent sur la prière. Il se veut un guide pratique de la prière chrétienne, à caractère non confessionnel, donc, dépouillé des pratiques propres à une religion. Il convient pour une initiation à la prière et pour un approfondissement de la pratique de la prière. Les principes bibliques y sont exposés avec clarté. Ce qui n'implique pas, tant s'en faut, l'abandon de la lecture de la Bible, seul moyen efficace pour bâtir une relation personnelle avec Dieu et, par conséquent, grandir dans la connaissance de la VÉRITÉ (Jean 17: 17, Jean 8: 31-32).Je me suis inspiré des questions courantes des néophytes (jeunes convertis), de ma propre expérience et des pratiques qui éloignent très souvent les chrétiens de Dieu pour élaborer un véritable guide qui tient en sept points, Le livre s'ouvre par une introduction qui montre que depuis la mort de Jésus-Christ, l'accès à Dieu n'est plus le privilège d'une catégorie de personnes, du moins pour ceux qui ont Jésus-Christ comme seigneur et sauveur.La définition du mot prier, qui fait suite à l'introduction, permet de comprendre que la prière est un dialogue avec Dieu, une communication avec le Père céleste. En effet, par la prière, nous entrons en relation avec Lui pour présenter nos besoins et nous mettre à Son écoute pour une réponse, une orientation, une instruction, une révélation, un conseil.La troisième section met l'accent sur le fait que tout le monde peut prier. En tant que fils de Dieu, nous ne passons pas par un intermédiaire pour Lui demander ce dont nous avons besoin.La quatrième section souligne la nécessité d'adresser nos prières à Dieu et à Dieu seul.Le chapitre sur les parties d'une bonne prière, plus long, propose un canevas inspiré du pater noster et de la première prière des apôtres.La sixième montre qu'il est bon, dans la pratique de la prière, de tenir un journal et de pratiquer l'intercession.La dernière partie précise les raisons pour lesquelles il ne faut pas louper, dans sa vie de prière, les deux périodes charnières que sont le matin et le soir.Je propose enfin, à titre indicatif, des annexes qui rassemblent quelques promesses de Dieu, des formules, une prière qui suit le canevas proposé dans l'ouvrage et une fiche de dévotion quotidienne.

Download or read book Indiana written by George Sand and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indiana is the story's heroine, a young noblewoman descended from French colonial settlers from Île Bourbon who lives in France. Indiana is married to an older ex-army officer named Colonel Delmare and suffers from the lack of passion in her life. Indiana does not love Delmare and searches for someone who will love her passionately. Her cousin Ralph is in love with her, but she overlooks him and falls in love with their well-spoken neighbor, Raymon de Ramiere. Indiana escapes the house to faithfully present herself in Raymon's apartments in the middle of the night, but they don't get along and Colonel Delmare takes Indiana to Île Bourbon. Indiana returns to France on a perilous sea journey during the French Revolution of 1830, where she reconnects with Raymon, but also with Ralph, which further complicate matters. The novel is an exploration of nineteenth-century female desire complicated by class constraints and by social codes about infidelity.
Download or read book Economy of the Sacred in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor written by Beate Dignas and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-12-12 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original study challenges the idea that sanctuaries in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor were fully institutionalized within the poleis that hosted them. Examining the forms of interaction between rulers, cities, and sanctuaries, the book proposes a triangular relationship in which the rulers often acted as mediators between differing interests of city and cult. A close analysis of the epigraphical evidence illustrates that neither the Hellenistic kings nor the representatives of Roman rule appropriated the property of the gods but actively supported the functioning of the sanctuaries and their revenues. The powerful role of the sanctuaries was to a large extent based on economic features, which the sanctuaries possessed precisely because of their religious character. Nevertheless, a study of the finances of the cults reveals frequent problems concerning the upkeep of cults and a particular need to guard the privileges and property of the gods. Their situation oscillated between glut and dearth. When the harmonious identity between city and cult was disturbed, those closely attached to the cult acted on behalf of their domain.

Download or read book Go and Do Likewise written by William Spohn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does Jesus have to do with ethics? There are two brief answers given by believers: "everything" and "not much." While evangelical or fundamentalist Christians would find authoritative guidance in the words and commands of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament, many mainstream Christian ethicists would say that Jesus is too concrete or narrowly particular to have any direct import for ethics.In this book, Williams Spohn takes a middle way, showing how Jesus is the "concrete universal" of Christian ethics. By forming a bridge from the lives of contemporary Christians to the words and deeds of Jesus, Jesus' story as a whole exemplifies moral perception, motivation and Christian identity.In addition, Spohn shows how the practices of Christian spirituality--specifically prayer, service, and community--train the imagination and reorient emotions to produce a character and a way of life consonant with Christian New Testament moral teaching.
Download or read book Resurrection and Moral Imagination written by Sarah Bachelard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral life gathers its shape, force and meaning in relation to an underlying sense of reality, imaginatively conceived. Significant contemporary writing in philosophy appeals to the concept of ’transcendence’ to explore what is deepest in our moral experience, but leaves this notion theologically unspecified. This book reflects on the appeal to transcendence in ethics with reference to the Resurrection of Jesus. Bachelard argues that the Resurrection reveals that the ultimate reality in which human life is held is gracious, forgiving and reconciling, a Goodness that is ’for us’. Faith in this testimony transforms the possibilities of moral life, both conceptually and in practice. It invites our participation in a goodness experienced non-dualistically as grace, and so profoundly affects the formation of the moral self, the practice of moral judgement and the shape of moral concepts. From this perspective, contemporary philosophical discussion about 'transcendence' in moral thought is cast in a new light, and debates about the continuity between theological and secular ethics gain a thoroughly new dimension. Bachelard demonstrates that placing the Resurrection at the heart of our ethical reflection resonates with the deepest currents of our lived moral experience and transfigures our approach to moral life and thought.
Download or read book The Pope s Body written by Agostino Paravicini-Bagliani and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the role traditionally fulfilled by secular rulers, the pope has been perceived as an individual person existing in a body subject to decay and death, yet at the same time a corporeal representation of Christ and the Church, eternity and salvation. Using an array of evidence from the eleventh through the fifteenth centuries, Agostino Paravicini- Bagliani addresses this paradox. He studies the rituals, metaphors, and images of the pope's body as they developed over time and shows how they resulted in the expectation that the pope's body be simultaneously physical and metaphorical. Also included is a particular emphasis on the thirteenth century when, during the pontificate of Boniface VIII (1294-1303), the papal court became the focus of medicine and the natural sciences as physicians devised ways to protect the pope's health and prolong his life. Masterfully translated from the Italian, this engaging history of the pope's body provides a new perspective for readers to understand the papacy, both historically and in our own time.
Download or read book The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes written by Yiu Sing Lúcás Chan and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes are often considered significant texts for the Christian moral life. However, most interpretations of these passages either focus on the original meaning of the text or how the texts should impact ordinary living today. In The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes Yiu Sing Lúcás Chan brings together biblical studies and Christian ethics to look at these foundational texts in a new way. For each passage Chan asks both what the texts meant and what they mean today. He helps readers to carefully study the text’s original meaning, then interpret the text within a sound ethical framework. The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes is an excellent introduction to key concepts in biblical studies and Christian ethics that combines sound study with warmth and wisdom.
