A French convert to Catholicism in 1939, Louis Bouyer is a renowned
theologian who was an influential presence at Vatican II. His
classic work, Introduction to the Spiritual Lifefirst published in
English in 1961 and now brought back into printprovides readers
with an inspiring and comprehensive vision of Christian
spirituality that is unmatched in its warmth, lucidity, and
accessibility.
In this wide-ranging yet coherent book, Bouyer both explores
mankind's ineradicably religious nature and traces the paths of
God's self-revelation that culminate in Christ and the proclamation
of the Father. Chapter by chapter, the reader is led to a wide and
deep vision of humanity's search for God and God's for humanity.
This book faces fearlessly the deepest questions being put to
Christians, and to humanity as a whole, at the dawn of the third
millennium.
This is a unique work, a well-documented study which examines
mysticism from its pagan origins to Paul and the Church Fathers, as
it was understood in medieval times, as well as by Jewish and
Buddhist initiates. The book presents a sweeping exegesis of
historic and foundational literature and myth, but Bouyer makes
sense of it and interprets it in the light of Christian history and
theology.
What is the cosmos, our place in it and its relation to God? These
questions form the framework of Fr. Bouyer's investigation through
the history of ideas and the unfolding of humanity's attempts to
make sense of the universe.
Published for the first time in English for the 'Year of the
Father', Louis Bouyer's magisterial summa explores the religious
experience of humanity, and traces the paths of God's
self-revelation as Father, culminating in the Incarnation of his
Son and the interpretations this has received in the history of the
Church.
Ranging from myth and magic to depth psychology and sociology, the
book is a tour de force of Christian reflection and scholarship. It
culminates in a new interpretation of the mysteries of Israel and
Islam, and of the rise and fall of Western theology that set the
scene for modern idealism and atheism.
A scholarly and masterful exploration of the meaning and importance
of 'mystery' and 'mysticism' to the Christian revelation, offering
a fuller understanding of Christian spirituality down the ages and
a firmer grasp of what it means to be a Christian.>
A classic portrait of St Philip Neri, which portrays the saint with
a particular affection and understanding and sets him against the
background of Renaissance Italy. The Apostle of Rome, as St Philip
was called, has much wisdom to teach us and the author brings out
his continuing relevance for a contemporary audience. This edition
contains a new introduction and a chronology of the majot events in
St Philip's life. Fr Michael Day who translated the work into
English was a member of the Birmingham Oratory, established by
Cardinal Newman. Louis Bouyer is well known for his many
theological writings.
Eucharist is a detailed history of the Christian Eucharistic
formularies. Bouyer gives a thorough analysis of the Jewish meal
prayers, the berakoth, to which he traces the origins of the
eucharistic rite, and ends with the recent addition of new
eucharistic prayers to the Roman rite. He also includes the history
of the various forms of the early Christian liturgies, of the
Byzantine, Gallican, and Mozarabic Eucharists, of the changes
introduced during the Reformation, and of developments in the
Anglican, Lutheran, and Reformed traditions.
