Eucharist in Bible and Liturgy Cambridge University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book is concerned with the central act of Christian worship, call it Eucharist, Holy Communion, Liturgy, Last Supper or Mass. First it investigates in some detail the New Testament accounts of its institution at the Last Supper, dealing with the problems of scholarship involved. Professor Kilpatrick argues that Mark XIV and I Corinthians XI are basic, Mark being more archaic. Secondly, the book examines three themes of the Eucharist which are foreign to Western thinking of today: sacrifice, the sacred meal and the pattern of charter story and ritual. This pattern is common ground to anthropologists and biblical scholars. It is argued that the observance is not a Passover but a sacrifice in Biblical terms and certain features which we find in Biblical sacrifice have parallels in the religion of ancient Rome and Greece. The bearing of these conclusions on present-day liturgical revision is then discussed.

Meeting Saint Germain River Sanctuary Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"Life is growth through experience," Saint Germain reminds us. In this compilation of transmissions of the ascended master known as Saint Germain - or "G" to many who have experienced this sage - Wesley Adam Thomas shares intimate commentaries related to his personal journey as well as guidance from G on common life challenges including "Relationships," "Gain and Loss," "Thankfulness," "Addiction," "Money," "Balance," "Personal Devastations," "Fear," and "Your Life Mission."With gentleness and compassion, Meeting Saint Germain encourages each of us to accept challenges as we develop a deeper understanding of who we are and why we are here. The book contains commentaries and guidance on many topics, for example...Finding the peace within:Today, I speak of a certain kind of peace. It levels the turbulent currents, slows the flow, and deepens the river's channel. Deep waters, low and slow, found a peaceful surface. So use meditation to dive within yourselves. Splash through the roiling surface, then go down to the quiet waters.The promise of Saint Germain: I live in service to God. It is the path down which I carry my lamp.Should any wish to follow, I will pause and light the ground before them, and as they move forward, so will my light.The power of prayer: A prayer is an appeal, a beseeching, a noble wish for the realization of one's highest intentions,an articulation of one's finest desires in hopes of manifesting them.The angels themselves cannot dismiss prayer.They must respond. Demons cringe, impotent in the presence of prayer.They must defer.Finding God within:Imagine a great sun with countless rays projecting outward, every person the advancing point of their own ray. ...The true purpose of human lifeis to discover this internal divinity and project it into the world of form.The Violet Flame: The Flame is real, not a metaphor. Seek it in your meditations.Let it blaze from uplifted palms and the third eye, a violet triangle embracing the heart.Ascension and the Golden Age:Ascension is a raised consciousness.The harvest has come,and those able to risewill ascend with Earth to the 5th dimension,enjoying greater spiritual achievementsin a New Golden Age.About the AuthorAlthough initially reluctant to see himself as a worthy channel for the magnificent Saint Germain, Wesley Adam Thomas over a period of years was enticed by the gently persistent relationship of scribe and master. The pages that resulted are lyrical and inspiring, at the same time grounded and practical, addressing the everyday dilemmas and challenges of ordinary persons on the path of ascension. In fact, Wesley was not new to channeling, having recorded messages from his Lemurian guides as early as 2002. That experience introduced him to the Violet Flame and drew him eventually to spend extended time on Mount Shasta, where this work was inspired. Wesley is a father, a teacher, a musician, and a writer whose hope is that this book will inspire a fresh audience and expand awareness of the coming era of peace.

Penthos Liturgical Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

'Penthos is precisely the kind of book most of us need today-something utterly unfashionable that can cut through the trendiness of contemporary spiritual consumerism. It is a book for serious people, about a serious subject. Besides being a very nice piece of historical theology, it qualifies as a fine book for devotional reading'-Worship. 'This book (as difficult as it is) will be of interest to students of the spirituality of the Christian East, to those who have made the Jesus Prayer an integral part of their spiritual discipline, and to others who wish to deepen their understanding of how our Christian identity is formed'-The Living Church.

Opus Dei Penguin

Literatura faktu

Opus Dei is the most controversial - and unknown - force in the Catholic Church. Here, John L. Allen uncovers its real nature. Accused of promoting a right-wing political agenda, of cult-like practices, and immortalized forever in the pages of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei is the most notorious, most talked about - but least known - religious organization of our time. Granted unlimited access to those within its ranks, and with an investigative eye intent on uncovering closely guarded secrets, John L. Allen finally separates the myths from the facts: the actual use of the cilice; the reason men and women remain separate; the true extent of Opus Dei's funds. Built around a wealth of interviews with the heads of Opus Dei in the Vatican and in centres around the world, comparing the attitudes of current members with those of highly critical members and outsiders, Opus Dei is a portrait of a remarkably powerful organization, both inside and outside the Church. One of the most mysterious and controversial religious forces today, and immortalized in Dan Brown

Our Church Atlantic Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

For most people in England today, the church is simply the empty building at the end of the road, visited for the first time, if at all, when dead. It offers its sacraments to a population that lives without rites of passage, and which regards the National Health Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual guardian. In Our Church, Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is the forlorn trustee of an architectural and artistic inheritance that remains one of the treasures of European civilization. He contends that it is a still point in the centre of English culture and that its defining texts, the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer are the sources from which much of our national identity derives. At once an elegy to a vanishing world and a clarion call to recognize Anglicanism's continuing relevance, Our Church is a graceful and persuasive book.
