Band 9 der zweisprachigen Ausgabe der Sermones ad populum bietet die erstmalige deutsche UEbersetzung der drei Predigten zur Apostelgeschichte 148-150. Die lateinischen Texte beruhen auf dem Vergleich der bisherigen Editionen, im Fall von sermo 150 auch auf Codex I 9 der Stadtbibliothek Mainz, der als Faksimile abgedruckt wird. Die Kommentierung erlautert insbesondere UEberlieferung, Chronologie, Struktur, Stil, historische Daten, biblisches Gedankengut, Liturgie und Theologie der Predigten. Daruber hinaus werden hagiographische und archaologische Daten sowie die Verwendung der Apostelgeschichte im Gesamtwerk Augustins dargestellt.

Evagrius Ponticus (345-399 n.Chr.) beschreibt in seiner Schrift de oratione das Gebet als eine innere Haltung. Ausfuhrlich geht er auf die Voraussetzungen des Gebets ein und auch die Bedrohungen, die er als "Damonen" bezeichnet. Durch die Untersuchungen der Autorin werden insbesondere zur Frage nach dem Verfasser von de oratione neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen: Nur eine Grundsubstanz kann Evagrius Ponticus zugeschrieben werden, nicht der gesamte Umfang der 153 Kapitel. Die gedankliche und sprachliche Abhangigkeit von Origenes, Clemens von Alexandrien und Gregor von Nyssa wird herausgearbeitet. Sie erklart auch die philosophische Pragung der theologischen Schrift. Eine deutsche UEbersetzung von de oratione ist beigefugt.

Band 8 der zweisprachigen Ausgabe der Sermones ad populum enthalt die langste aller erhaltenen Predigten Augustins, den 1990 in der Mainzer Stadtbibliothek entdeckten Sermo Dolbeau 26.

Die zweite, 1980 von Raymond Etaix erstmals edierte Neujahrspredigt wird in gleicher Weise auf der Basis des Codex Marston MS 208 in der Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Universitat Yale, herausgegeben. Von den sieben Epiphanie-Predigten werden vier erstmals ins Deutsche ubertragen. Die Kommentierung erlautert insbesondere Echtheit, UEberlieferung, Chronologie, Struktur, Stil, historische Daten, biblisches Gedankengut, Theologie und Liturgie.

The most vital and significant moments in life are moments of encounter. Whether we encounter ourselves, others, or God, these moments let us know that life is meaningful. And presence is what makes encounter possible. When we are truly present, everything that has being becomes potentially present to us.
In this unique resource, David Benner invites us to live with more presence so we can know the presence of God more deeply in our lives. Drawing on over thirty-five years of experience integrating psychology and spirituality, Benner examines the transformational possibilities of spiritual presence and encounter in fresh, exciting, and practical ways. He helps readers understand the personal and interpersonal dimensions of presence and encounter, revealing how they mediate Divine Presence and serve as sacraments of everyday life. His rich meditations are presented in a voice that is intelligent, compassionate, and engaging. The book includes end-of-chapter reflection exercises for individual or group use and a foreword by Richard Rohr.

"Families are living stories. They tell us where we came from, guide us as we live our lives, and help us see who we could become. Especially priceless are the lives and words of those who came before us.

From Christ-followers living near the time of the apostles to the early defenders of the faith, we are enriched by the wise advice and inspiring examples of our Christian ancestors. In the face of heresy and persecution, these saints lived lives faithful to the gospel story.

The Book of Saints: The Early Era is a devotional gateway to the thoughts and insights of church leaders and teachers who lived before the middle of the fourth century AD. Living in a pagan world, much like our own, these saintly persons have much to say to us today.

Dorothy L. Sayers took her inspiration from a monk's account of the fire of 1174, and the subsequent rebuilding of Canterbury Cathedral Quire. She portrays William of Sens, the chosen architect, as eaten away by pride in his splendid work, unable to give glory to God for his achievement. Enacted in the presence of a group of graciously influential archangels, the play reveals the carelessness of some of the monks, resulting in the terrifying fall that cripples William. His agony brings him to repentance and gratitude before God, and finally to the renunciation of his role, leaving the completion of the rebuilding to others. This edition also comes with an English translation of the Latin texts in the play.

1897. A collection of prayers for daily use that were gathered from many sources, ancient and modern. It has historical interest, and the literary quality has been carefully considered, but the primary object is to nourish the spiritual life. As the design is to provide a brief selection for every day, in many cases a portion only of a long prayer is given, or it is condensed by omission, but alterations have been made as sparingly as possible.

Deep in the heart of every believer is the hunch, if not the conviction, that somewhere the Bible must sketch a portrait of the Lord Jesus Christ like this one. He must be the strong Man of God Who can fight against incredible odds and win the victory decisively. The purpose of the narrative on Samson in the book of Judges is to give us that portrayal, so we can realize and glory in the accomplishments of Jesus Christ like never before. Samson provides that unparalleled picture of Christ for us. Some will protest, "Samson was a womanizer! He can't be a type of Christ!" Squeamish commentators have thought that for years. But types of Christ are not determined by moral purity, but by the nature of their acts and how they can represent the things Christ has done. Christ has vanquished foes far more formidable than any giant and more numerous than any Philistine horde. He has fought the spiritual powers of darkness, with faith in God as His only weapon. He has taken the sword of death from Satan himself and now holds the keys of death and hades. God has used the mighty, powerful and miraculous victories of Samson to portray the faith of Christ. Christ's is a faith that never loses. Isaiah prophesied of Jesus, "I set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed" (50:7).
