Drawing on philosophical reflection, spiritual and religious values, and somatic practice, Spirit and the Obligation of Social Flesh offers guidance for moving amidst the affective dynamics that animate the streets of the global cities now amassing around our planet. Here theology turns decidedly secular. In urban medieval Europe, seculars were uncloistered persons who carried their spiritual passion and sense of an obligated life into daily circumambulations of the city. Seculars lived in the city, on behalf of the city, but—contrary to the new profit economy of the time—with a different locus of value: spirit. Betcher argues that for seculars today the possibility of a devoted life, the practice of felicity in history, still remains. Spirit now names a necessary “prosthesis,” a locus for regenerating the elemental commons of our interdependent flesh and thus for cultivating spacious and fearless empathy, forbearance, and generosity. Her theological poetics, though based in Christianity, are frequently in conversation with other religions resident in our postcolonial cities.

Fr. Lawrence Farley explores the Acts of the Apostles as St. Luke's sequel to his Gospel--an apology for the Christian Faith as the fulfillment of Judaism, a gospel for all peoples, and a faith that poses no threat to Roman government or society. It's also the greatest adventure story of all time.

David Nelson Название: The Interruptive Word: Eberhard J?ngel on the Sacramental Structure of God`s Relation to the World ISBN: 0567402959 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567402950 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 137280.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: While German Lutheran theologian Eberhard Jungel (1934-) has made a number of significant contributions to contemporaneous discussions of sacramental theology, this topic has largely been ignored by interpreters of his thought. This study summarizes and evaluates, through a close reading of primary and secondary source materials, Jungel's approach to the problem of sacrament. R. David Nelson considers Jungel's claim that the word of God functions sacramentally as it addresses its hearer, and analyses his assertion that Jesus Christ is the unique and preeminent sacrament of God for the world. Progressing to an exploration of Jungel's ecclesiology, Nelson reveals Jungel's interesting approach to the question of the church's sacramentality. The volume concludes with an investigation into Jungel's doctrines of baptism and the Lord's Supper. The Interruptive Word demonstrates that Jungel consistently appeals to the category of 'interruption' for describing God's sacramental relation to the world and its actualities, concluding that the hegemony of the category of 'interruption' in Jungel's theology of sacrament raises important questions concerning its coherence and tenability.
The Forty-Day Word Fast for Couples is a book about doing the hard work of learning and then practicing intimacy and pursuing unity in marriage. Husbands and wives will undertake this journey together. As a result, they will uncover the obstacles that have stood in the way of their God-given heart's desire for a profound oneness in Christ. Couples will break through to a new level of tenderness, kindness, and intimacy as they do the following:
Discover God's original design for words
Identify the devastating impact of negative words
Access the tools to uncover the roadblocks and strongholds that have stood in the way of greater intimacy in every area of their married life
Become offense-proof in their marriage through the forty-day fast of words
God's design for couples is to pursue oneness through speaking words of truth and kindness. The enemy and the world have perverted this design. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. There is a reason Proverbs 18:21 lists death first. This book will help make clear--perhaps for the first time--the actual ramifications of complaining, criticism, judgments, gossip, and negative words on a marriage. These words are the "unity busters." Through fasting from these negative words, you will discover a biblical way to change the atmosphere of your marriage.
This book will help you protect your marriage by identifying words that either build it up or break it down.

The Spirit of individualism is live in the Church among ministers and laity alike; live in the deliberate withdrawal of support and cooperation even when we are part of the same Church ministry. Live and active in the politically polarized environment across the world among politicians and their supporters. Live in the social fabrics of our communities. Live in homes among family members. Live in our treatment of others across the board. Live at places of work. Live on public transports of all kind. Live among drivers on our roadways in aggression. Live in the words we speak and the actions we demonstrate. The list is endless.
It is out of these and other concerns combined that God has inspired me to write the book. My hope and prayer is that people across every spectrum I have identified will become awaken to this spirit in all its forms and produce a genuine change in attitude.

Описание: The New Testament books were written to be read aloud. The original audiences of these texts would have been unfamiliar with our current practice of reading silently and processing with our eyes rather than our ears, so we can learn much about the New Testament through performing it ourselves. Richard Ward and David Trobisch are here to help. "Bringing the Word to Life" walks the reader through what we know about the culture of performance in the first and second centuries, what it took to perform an early New Testament manuscript, the benefits of performance for teaching, and practical suggestions for exploring New Testament texts through performance today.
Made in the Image of God is a book that provides key concepts for understanding the nature and personhood of God and mankind, while providing deeper insights into how we as human beings relate to God physically, emotionally and spiritually in a metaphysical way, both now and in the future.
Within this study, there are discussions on such topics as The Nature of God, The Nature of Mankind, The Trinity, and Jesus Christ as God and Man, while providing concepts that will help open the door to understanding God's revelation concerning himself, as revealed through the Scriptures. One reader commented: "After fifty years of being a Christian and doing lots of Bible study, this book gave me the clearest understanding of the Trinity and their interaction with me."
Made in the Image of God is good resource material for supplementing studies in Bible, Theology, Apologetics, Anthropology, Metaphysics or Philosophy of Religion.

Tyra Название: Neither the spirit without the flesh: john calvin`s doctrine of the beatific vision ISBN: 0567714497 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567714497 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 89760.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book claims that John Calvin developed “Greek” doctrines of the interim state of souls, resurrection, and beatific vision through his reading of ancient Christian sources like Irenaeus of Lyons. “Greek” had been a technical term in Western theology since at least the 12th century to denote heterodox eschatology. Thomas Aquinas had employed it in that sense, and early modern Catholics like Robert Bellarmine and Pierre Coton in turn applied it to Calvin. The book demonstrates that, in this respect at least, Calvin’s opponents were correct: he was a “Greek.” However, it questions whether that fact should lead modern theologians to dismiss him as a resource for contemporary reflection. Calvin’s deep respect for and continuity with early Christian voices may serve as a positive model for theologians today, particularly in the Reformed tradition. By the same token, Reformed thinkers who seek inspiration from medieval scholasticism may find their relationship to Calvin complicated by the case presented here.
