Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider’s account of the Eastern Orthodox Church, from its beginning in the era of Jesus and the Apostles to the modern age In this short, accessible account of the Eastern Orthodox Church, John McGuckin begins by tackling the question “What is the Church?” His answer is a clear, historically and theologically rooted portrait of what the Church is for Orthodox Christianity and how it differs from Western Christians’ expectations. McGuckin explores the lived faith of generations, including sketches of some of the most important theological themes and individual personalities of the ancient and modern Church. He interweaves a personal approach throughout, offering to readers the experience of what it is like to enter an Orthodox church and witness its liturgy. In this astute and insightful book, he grapples with the reasons why many Western historians and societies have overlooked Orthodox Christianity and provides an important introduction to the Orthodox Church and the Eastern Christian World.

Book Contemporary Controversies in Catholic Bioethics

Download or read book Contemporary Controversies in Catholic Bioethics written by Jason T. Eberl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises various viewpoints representing a Catholic perspective on contemporary practices in medicine and biomedical research. The Roman Catholic Church has had a significant impact upon the formulation and application of moral values and principles to a wide range of controversial issues in bioethics. Catholic leaders, theologians, and bioethicists have elucidated and marshaled arguments to support the Church’s definitive positions on several bioethical issues, such as abortion, euthanasia, and reproductive cloning. Not all bioethical issues, however, have been definitively addressed by Catholic authorities, and some Church teachings allow for differing applications in diverse circumstances. Moreover, as new biomedical technologies emerge, Church authorities rely on experts in science, medicine, philosophy, theology, law, and other disciplines to advise them. Such experts continue to debate issues related to reproduction, genetics, end-of-life care, and health care policy. This volume will be a valuable resource for scholars in bioethics or Catholic studies, who will benefit from the nuanced arguments offered based on the latest research. This volume is also instructive for students entering the field to become aware of the founding philosophical and theological principles informing the Catholic bioethical worldview.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of 30+ years Dr. William P. Kalosieh has counseled numerous individuals, families and couples in the throes of a crisis whether part of normal human development or unexpected and causing the normal balance of routine daily life to falter. Counseling sessions typically favor the emotional over the rational and often preclude the therapist from educating the client about the issue, problem, concern that brought him/her to therapy. In this compendium of articles Dr. Kalosieh writes about not only the issues and concerns he frequently encountered in his practice but also about some notions that have fascinated him for many years. The articles range from personal, emotional development to interpersonal dynamics both normal and abnormal or healthy and unhealthy. The sequence is merely conventional and the reader is at liberty to select a topic or concern he/she wishes to explore. The author does not present a system to interventions based upon his own theory of personality and marriage, rather he utilizes the techniques, strategies and theories of highly regarded experts in various fields of psychotherapy. The articles are intended to be above all helpful to individuals, couples and families as they face the challenge of maturity, communication and raising a family. Promoting a peaceful, harmonious village requires peace of mind and heart in the individuals.

Book The Melkites at the Vatican Council II

Download or read book The Melkites at the Vatican Council II written by Saba Shofany and published by . This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that the moral teachings of the Vatican Council II tend to characterize the life within the post-council Catholic Church, makes the book, The Melkites at the Vatican Council II, all the more interesting whilst offering a definite value in today's research into moral ethics and theology. By its enormous references to the teachings of Jesus Christ and his Disciples and by its authentic worship of the Eastern and Western Christian Traditions, this book accentuates the breath, wealth, variety of aspects, new impetus and the answers given by the Melkite Prelates to questions addressing moral, theological, liturgical, dogmatic, biblical and pastoral issues during the Vatican Council II. In his oration, the author demands for this volume to be treasured as a source of knowledge and information regarding the history, theology and ecclesiology of the Melkite Byzantine Catholic Church. He desires to pursue the mission of the Melkite Fathers of the Second Vatican Council and presents this book to the readers as an excellent tool for the ecumenical dialogue advocating the unity between the churches of God.
