This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works.
It includes a not-quite-right historical parody, a story of the
worlds to be seen in Orthodox icons, a lighter look at the kinds of
jobs that are available to theologians, a present-day revisiting
that looks at the most famous allegory in Plato's writing, a look
at two momentous moments, two documents about Eastern Orthodox
Christianity in aspects that can be harder for Western Christians
to pick, one of which takes a look at a Calvinist lens, a look at
how much more there is in life than money, and a collection of
vignettes each of which is meant to provide a little taste of
Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works.
It includes creative work ranging from very short to moderately
long: an open letter to spam patrons, a look at Java and
programming, a work that turns Gilbert and Sullivan's "Modern
Major-General" on its head, a look at what is good about uncreative
web design and what is not so good when administrators leave
employees drowning in required readings, a few koans, a look at
television and religion, a revised version of a classic FAQ list,
and finally a satirical dictionary in the tradition of Ambrose
Bierce.
This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works.
It includes an offbeat chain letter parody, a no less whimsical
work (although more serious) in which a Church Father comments on a
postmodern trend, a solemn farewell to a holiday, a look at all
spirituality boiling down to two basic rules, a relatively long
short story that looks at what, exactly, can be good about a life
filled with pain, a paean of praise about the glory of the Creator
reflected in the Creation, a dialogue exploring whether, exactly,
time is what a watch measures, and then two closing, connected
stories. One is a science fiction short story, and the other a
fantasy novella, but they have much in common.
This book is a paean of the glory of God: a doxology, containing
many of C.J.S. Hayward's recent works of Eastern Orthodox Christian
theology. The works are varied, but illuminated by common themes,
chief among them the Sermon on the Mount and the Bible and
Philokalia and their practical and poignant in spirituality in hard
times and global economic (and political) crisis. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
C.J.S. (Jonathan) Hayward wears many hats: author, philosopher,
theologian, artist, poet, wayfarer, philologist, inventor, web
guru, teacher. He is an Eastern Orthodox Christian, has lived in
the U.S., Malaysia, England, and France, and holds master's degrees
bridging math and computers (UIUC), and philosophy and theology
(Cambridge). He has websites at JonathansCorner.com and
CJSHayward.com.
This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works.
It includes an account of the Archdruid of Canterbury visiting an
Orthodox Patriarch, a glimpse into the eighth sacrament, a look at
not having rights, a look at a picture of evil and then a look at
artwork and icons of goodness, a note on the crown of thorns we
need in order to flourish, a meditation that weaves in and out of
eternity and many different kinds of time, and the tale of a
spiritual awakening that begins with a young man's discovery of a
book of legends about King Arthur, his court, and the Holy Grail.
This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works:
It includes some of his older work: a print form of a poster, a
sermon on divine providence, a whimsical description of a fantasy
game, a recounting of the Gospel as here and now, a revisited
version of the story of someone trying to kill Christmas by
stealing presents, a dreamlike vision in fantasy worlds, a
description of cultures in a fantasy world without evil, and C.J.S.
Hayward's first novel--not perfect, but quite interesting.

This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works.
It includes a news release about the discovery of an inclusive
language New Testament manuscript, a qualitative look at men and
women, discussion of a spiritual reality barely hinted at by
Biblical egalitarian concerns, a very short glimpse of a
spiritually ugly image, an essay about Orthodoxy and feminism, some
Orthodox answers to feminist questions, a letter in which a 26th
century historian looks at curiosities today, the tale of a man who
finds a commentary to explain "all cultural issues needful to
understand the Bible as did its first readers," a story of renewed
innocence, and a story that begins with disembodied minds searching
for something beyond their realm.
This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works.
It opens with a glimpse, if only a glimpse, of the world beyond,
before moving on to a game review for real life, a story of a
business traveler seeing something more than money, a well-received
lecture, a rethinking of memory technique to provide a tool to work
more gracefully with abstractions, a dialogue about education and
profound giftedness, a story that tells of vehicles that are
coveted and vehicles that are completely taken for granted, and a
novella in which a medieval wayfarer comes to our near future and
causes some slight chaos.
