Haunted War Tales - R.c. Bramhall - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Haunted War Tales - R.c. Bramhall - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Some battlefields – such as Gettysburg - are known to be haunted. This book focuses on multiple tales of truly odd, and often bizarre, paranormal events on the battlefields of the world. Some popular stories are de-bunked, but most of these reports - all documented in one place for the first time in this engaging and informative collection - are not easily explained and remain a mystery to be pondered, becoming modern canon in the centuries-long history of strange and unusual war stories.

The Pacifist Option - Alexander F.c. Webster - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Pacifist Option - Alexander F.c. Webster - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In this path-breaking study, Fr. Alexander Webster convincingly demonstrates that a distinctive pacifist trajectory, characterized by the moral virtues of non-violence, nonresistance, voluntary kenotic suffering, and universal forgiveness, has endured through two millennia of Eastern Orthodox history in unbroken continuity with the ancient Church. Webster consults a vast array of primary texts including Holy Scripture, patristic writing through the Byzantine era that terminated in AD 1453, Orthodox canon law from the Seven Ecumenical Councils and other Byzantine Greek legal sources among others. Of interest to historians and to students of theology and religion.

The Doctrine of the Trinity - Charles F. Hunting - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Doctrine of the Trinity - Charles F. Hunting - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This important work is a detailed biblical investigation of the relationship of Jesus to the one God of Israel. The authors challenge the notion that biblical monotheism is legitimately represented by a Trinitarian view of God and demonstrate that within the bounds of the canon of Scripture Jesus is confessed as Messiah, Son of God, but not God Himself. Later Christological developments beginning in the second century misrepresented the biblical doctrine of God and Christ by altering the terms of the biblical presentation of the Father and Son. This fateful development laid the foundation of a revised, unscriptural creed that needs to be challenged. This book is likely to be a definitive presentation of a Christology rooted, as it originally was, in the Hebrew Bible. The authors present a sharply-argued appeal for an understanding of God and Jesus in the context of the original Christian documents.

How Do Catholics Read the Bible? - Sj Harrington - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Tradition Alive - Michael Plekon - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Tradition Alive - Michael Plekon - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Michael Plekon''s Tradition Alive presents a collection of essays highlighting not only the vibrant tradition of 20th century Eastern Orthodox thought, but also the necessity of its inclusion in the theological canon constructed mainly by Western Christian thinkers. Ranging from the thought of the first generation of Russian ZmigrZs to contemporary Eastern Orthodox theologians, the essays in Tradition Alive point toward a positive theology that is convinced of the immanence of the holy spirit despite a world torn apart by revolution, violence, and despair. The contributors profess their faith in the transforming presence of Christ and the divine dimensions of the church by looking to the meaning and power of tradition in the practices of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. By focusing on the Orthodox Church''s ecclesial and liturgical character, the authors emphasize the living character of the Christian tradition. With many contributions difficult, if not impossible, to access until now, Tradition Alive presents a brave and distinctive effort to enliven Western theology by looking to the theology of the East.

Lay Ecclesial Ministry - Seton Hall University - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Lay Ecclesial Ministry - Seton Hall University - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The role of lay ecclesial ministers—professionally prepared laity who serve in leadership roles—is becoming critically more important in the life of the Catholic church. In Lay Ecclesial Ministry, theologians and pastoral leaders from diverse disciplines provide a deeper understanding, envision future direction, and offer inspiration for these new ministers and the community of the church. Building on the themes of the first official document addressing lay ecclesial ministry, Co-workers in the Vineyard of the Lord, approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2005, this book delves deeply into key topics. Authors reflect on dimensions of the Catholic tradition to enrich our understanding of this new reality of lay ministry in the church, to envision future developments, and to offer inspiration. Contributors draw on a variety of theological perspectives, including canon law, church history, ecclesiology, liturgy, and scripture, to ground understanding of lay ecclesial ministry within the Catholic tradition and to chart direction for further response to this newly emergent ministry. The book also offers inspiration and models of service to lay ministers, looking to stories of the saints and communities of vowed religious. Lay Ecclesial Ministry is an essential resource for the Catholic community in understanding and building upon this new and increasingly important component of church life.

When the Blue Goes - Robert Nash - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

When the Blue Goes - Robert Nash - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

So little is known about the poet Robert Nash. Until the 21 st century, when his poems were discovered in a French basement, he remained undiscovered. The poems had been written in Maine and sent to Nash’s friend in France, to be discovered by the friend’s son decades later in a suitcase. Nash emigrated to America from Sussex, England, when he was a child. He lived in Maine with his wife Catriona and son Lee, and likely didn’t turn to writing poetry until his life took a tragic turn. Lee was killed in 1974 in Vietnam. Catriona died two years later. On May 31, 1995, one week after writing his last dated poem, Robert Nash disappeared. Anything else about Nash’s life is speculation and hypothesis. No trace has ever been found and no family or heirs have claimed him. But the poems he left behind demonstrate a true mastery of the craft and reveal his profound solitude and his intimate and healing relationship with nature. In his introduction, former Maine Poet Laureate finds Nash’s place in the Maine literary canon. Robert Nash has come home. Originally written in French (for his friend who didn’t speak English) and published in France in three separate volumes, these poems have been lovingly translated back to the poet’s native language by Françoise Canter.
