Based in the riches of Christian worship and tradition, this brief,
eloquently written introduction to Christian thinking and worldview
helps readers put back together again faith and reason, truth and
beauty, and the fragmented academic disciplines. By reclaiming the
classic liberal arts and viewing disciplines such as science and
mathematics through a poetic lens, the author explains that unity
is present within diversity. Now repackaged with a new foreword by
Ken Myers, this book will continue to benefit parents,
homeschoolers, lifelong learners, Christian students, and readers
interested in the history of ideas.
"What are Christians to make of their mission in an pluralistic
world?" asks Paul F. Knitter, author of the landmark work in
interfaith dialogue No Other Name? As a recognized scholar and
participant in interfaith dialogue, Knitter is in a unique position
to explore the key concept of what Christian mission must entail in
a world that will remain a world of many religious faiths for the
foreseeable future. From the first chapter of Jesus and the Other
Names, which recounts his own theological and dialogical odyssey,
Knitter constructs what he calls a "correlational,
globally-responsible theology of religions" as a necessary
correction to traditional pluralist and exclusivist approaches. By
anticipating and addressing his critics - both conservative and
liberal - Knitter makes a powerful argument for a reconstruction of
mission faithful to the Christian imperative and dynamically
attuned to the plurality of the world. Jesus and the Other Names
will give pause to those who believe Christian mission can be
carried on as it was in the modern era. Sure to inspire debate as
well as dialogue it offers a more humble, but perhaps more
"Christic", postmodern approach to mission in the new millennium
that has little to do with earthly glory and nothing to do with the
sense of cultural superiority that has so often - and often so
tragicallyaccompanied modern missionary movements. Theologians,
missiologists, Christian historians, can all benefit from its
thoughtful and timely message.
Is 'newer' really 'better'? We often assume so, but if we do treat
the past as inferior we will ignore the legacy of history, and thus
will find ourselves stranded on the tiny desert island of our own
moment in time. In particular, this applies to Christian theology,
which should be thought, and lived, corporately by the church down
through the ages. The remedy to 'chronological snobbery' is, as
C.S. Lewis put it, 'to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries
blowing through our minds'. Such is the motivation behind Michael
Reeves' introduction to a selection of influential or significant
Christian theologians. This accessible and informative volume
covers the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus,
Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm and Thomas Aquinas. Each chapter
begins with a brief biography and some background, then surveys
each theologian's major work or works, gives a timeline for
historical context, and ends with guidance for further reading.

Essential Expositions of the Psalms is a collection distilled from
the 6-volume set in the Works of Saint Augustine. As the psalms are
a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms
can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of
Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the
theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of
human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the
work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the
experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological
reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo.
Two thousand years ago the Lady Mary, the sacred 'Rose in the
Heart', made pilgrimage to the mystical British Isles, with the boy
Jesus, Naomi her daughter and Joseph of Arimathea. Her Holy Mission
as designated by the Masters, was to reactivate the Cosmic Light at
ancient Druidic sites, some which held an Atlantean Temple in the
Etheric Realm. As 'instructed' by Mary and with Divine guidance,
Caroline Harris has followed in her footsteps, travelling through
ancient Dummonia - Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, performing sacred
Ceremonies to revitalize that Light, and earth the ancient Temples.
Intuitively received inspirational messages for the Aquarian Age,
are offered from the Masters, Angelic Messengers and those from the
Devic Kingdom. Among many subjects explored are: Britain - the New
Jerusalem; Atlantis, Hyperborea and Lyonesse; the Ancient Wisdom;
the Immaculate Conception; did Jesus die on the Cross?; the Lost
Goddess; the Holy Grail; Celtic Christianity; Arthurian Tales; the
Crystalline Grid; Ley Lines; Reincarnation; Unicorns; the Essenes;
the Egyptian Mysteries; Aboriginal Wisdom, Thought Travel, plus
Visions of Glastonbury. You will find this fascinating story,
absorbing, enlightening and thought provoking, whatever your
persuasion, and it will be of special interest to the dedicated
Pilgrim and Light Worker.
Arguably the most respected Catholic systematic theologian in the
English-speaking world, David Tracy's growing influence
internationally and on persons of other Christian traditions and
his ability to communicate with representatives of the secular
academy stem from the unique quality of his voice. Still, Tracy's
views on Catholicism, the mission of the church, and how plurality
of worldviews and hermeneutics affect the church mission are
largely unknown. Containing both new material and articles written
over the past decade for Concilium, the international journal of
progressive Catholic theology, these essays reveal dimensions of
Tracy's thought on these topics foreshadowed in his books and
philosophical theological reflections. In addition, On Naming the
Present shows the best of the spirit of Concilium and its project
of fostering a critical and prophetic yet world-welcoming Christian
future rooted in a troubled present.
Meister Eckhart, the fourteenth-century German mystic and
theologian, is one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures
in the history of the Church, and few have played so diverse and
fertile a role in the cultural imagination. He has been seen as
both heretic and 'the man from whom God nothing hid'; Christian
mystic and Buddhist sage; Catholic and Protestant; feminist and
ecologist; he is both medieval schoolman and inspirer of
contemporary philosophers such as Heidegger, Bloch and Derrida.
Oliver Davies's masterly evaluation of Eckhart is based on an
unrivalled knowledge of the original texts, their historical and
theological context, and their place in the Christian mystical
tradition. The portrait of St Dominic on the cover (of the book)
illustrates one of Davies's main themes: Eckhart's position in the
mainstream Dominican tradition of grounding theology in spiritual
experience. Both a stimulating scholarly study and an ideal
introduction for the non-specialist, Meister Eckhart: Mystical
Theologian explores the enduring fascination of Meister Eckhart, 'a
mystic for our age'.
In A Divine Revelation of Angels, Mary Baxter describes dreams, visions, and revelations of angels that God has given her. Explore the fascinating dynamics of angelic beings, including their appearance, their assigned functions and roles, and how they operate, not only in the heavenly realms, but also in our lives here on earth. Discover the difference between good angels and bad angels (demons) and their activities so you can distinguish angels of light from angels of darkness. Learn how God’s holy angels are magnificent beings who are His messengers and warriors sent to assist, sustain, protect, and deliver us through the power of Christ.
Many people wonder why they can’t overcome sins and temptations, and why they experience recurring problems in their health, finances, and relationships. A Divine Revelation of Deliverance exposes these schemes of Satan. Through the Scriptures, visions of warfare, and personal encounters with evil spiritual forces, Mary K. Baxter has discovered powerful truths to help you overcome your fear of the enemy, recognize and conquer satanic traps, experience victory over sins and failures, be free from unexplained attacks, and intercede for the deliverance of others. This is a war that must be fought with the supernatural power and weapons of God.
