Hierdie boek is die werklike woorde van Jesus.
Jesus het in die Bybel baie met sy dissipels gepraat, maar daardie woorde is net so van toepassing vandag as wat dit was in daardie tyd. Die woorde van Jesus is gegroepeer in temas. Daardeur kan die leser meer leer oor die lesse wat die Here sy volk leer.
Die eerste van sy soort in Afrikaans!
O "Sacramental" de Clemente Sanchez de Vercial, obra pastoral
redigida entre 1420 e 1423 em lingua castelhana, depois dos livros
destinados ao oficio religioso, foi o livro mais impresso na
Peninsula Iberica, desde a introducao da imprensa ate meados do
seculo XVI. Conhecem-se treze edicoes em castelhano, uma em catalao
e quatro em portugues. Das edicoes em portugues, duas foram
impressas no seculo XV (Chaves, 1488; e Braga (?), ca. 1494-1500) e
duas no seculo XVI (Lisboa, 1502; e Braga, 1539). Considerado o
primeiro livro impresso em lingua portuguesa, o "Sacramental" e um
verdadeiro depositario da forma de viver do homem medieval em todos
os periodos da sua vida e em todos os momentos do ano, abarcando
temas como a alimentacao, as relacoes familiares, as relacoes
sociais, a relacao com Deus e o sagrado, o trabalho, o descanso, a
saude, a doenca e a sexualidade, o que faz dele um documento
indispensavel para o estudo da sociedade medieval.
O "Livro das Confissoes" foi terminado em 1316 por Martin Perez, um
clerigo castelhano de grande cultura canonica e teologica. E uma
extensa obra de cariz pastoral dedicada aos clerigos minguados de
ciencia e aos que se acham brutos e minguados e buscam das migalhas
que caem das mesas dos que sao ricos de letras, como o proprio
autor indica no Prologo. Foi uma das obras que, dentro do genero,
mais circulou entre o clero e os intelectuais ibericos durante o
seculo XIV e a primeira metade do seculo XV. Foi traduzida para
portugues em 1399 por monges do Mosteiro de Alcobaca. O "Livro das
Confissoes" e um testemunho autentico e raro da sociedade medieval
peninsular e e um documento indispensavel para a compreensao
historica, cultural e social desse periodo historico.
The bestselling Benedictine Fr Anselm Grun applied his extenisve
counselling experience, great fund of common sense, biblical
insight and analytical training to the seven sacraments recognised
by the Catholic Church: Baptism, Eucharist (or Communion),
Confirmation, Reconciliation (Penance or Confession), Marriage,
Ordination and Anointing of the Sick. Each sacrament's meaning is
examined, as well its history, its form - past and present - and
its impact on the life of those who receive it and those who
administer it. Grun also suggests how the sacraments could be made
more relevant to Christians living in the twenty-first century.
Everyone can benefit from reading this book: those about to receive
any one of the sacraments will gain insight and inspiration;
teachers, parish priests, and pastoral workers will find their work
enriched and made easier; and both married and celibate will
discover elements to celebrate in their own and in others' way of
life. As alwasys, Grun combines flashes of radicalism with deep
understanding of Catholic tradtion. His is a unique voice, and here
he reclaims a vital subject from widespread ignorance and
neglect.Anselm Grun is cellarer (administrator) of the Benedictine
abbey of Munsterschwarzach in southern Germany. He became a
Benedictine in 1964 and directs residential courses in meditation
techniques, interpretation of dreams, fasting and contemplation. He
is a prolific author whose books have achieved huge sales in many
languages. Works available in English include Angels of Grace, The
Spirit of Self Esteem, Images of Jesus and the forthcoming Jesus:
the Image of Humanity (all from Continuum).

Social Teaching In The Meal That Reconnects, Dr. Mary McGann, RSCJ,
invites readers to a more profound appreciation of the sacredness
of eating, the planetary interdependence that food and the sharing
of food entails, and the destructiveness of the industrial food
system that is supplying food to tables globally. She presents the
food crisis as a spiritual crisis-a call to rediscover the
theological, ecological, and spiritual significance of eating and
to probe its challenge to Christian eucharistic practice. Drawing
on the origins of Eucharist in Jesus's meal fellowship and the
worship of early Christians, McGann invites communities to reclaim
the foundational meal character of eucharistic celebration while
offering pertinent strategies for this renewal.
When it comes to baptism there is a profound disconnect between
what churches and clergy understand it to mean and the
understanding of those non-churchgoing families seeking the rite
for their children. Clergy and regular churchgoers feel that the
church is being used and abused by families seeking a baptism, when
they perceive them to be looking for 'just an excuse for a party'.
On the other hand, families seeking a christening in their local
churches are baffled by the lack of enthusiasm and encouragement
they find when they approach their local church. Using a new
interdisciplinary approach to practical theology, A Rite on the
Edge reflects theologically on the findings of research conducted
by Sarah Lawrence into baptism in the Church of England and in
English culture more widely, using insights and research methods
from corpus linguistics. It offers a profound challenge for those
struggling to comprehend how 'outsiders' understand baptism. More
fundamentally, it asks how the Church of England can remain
'present and available for all' at a time of heightened tensions
and confused expectations about who the church is 'for'.
Baptismal fonts were necessary to the liturgical life of the
medieval Christian. Baptism marked the entrance of the faithful
into the right relation, with the Catholic Church representing the
main cultural institution of medieval society. In the period
between ca. 1050 and ca. 1220, the decoration of the font often had
an important function: to underscore the theology of baptism in the
context of the sacraments of the Catholic Church. This period
witnessed a surge of concern about sacraments. Just as religious
thinkers attempted to delineate the sacraments and define their
function in sermons and Sentence collections, sculptural programs
visualized the teaching of orthodox ideas for the lay audience.
This book looks at three areas of primary concern around baptism as
a sacrament - incarnation, initiation, and the practice of baptism
within the institution of the Church - and the images that embody
that religious discussion. Baptismal fonts have been recognized as
part of the stylistic production of the Romanesque period, and
their iconography has been generally explored as moral and
didactic. Here, the message of these fonts is set within a very
specific history of medieval Catholic sacramental theology,
connecting erudite thinkers and lay users through their decoration
and use.
