Описание: This book is an invitation to reflect on how a minority culture emerged from within «Third World» liberation movements. It considers not only the historical and cultural journey between Ethiopia and Jamaica, but also the psychological dynamics of subalterns between the East and the West. In this work, the author discusses the various beliefs and ideologies of the RastafarI movement in relation to Ethiopia, and challenges the RastafarI misogynistic attitude by rehabilitating the position of women within the movement through the figure of the Queen of Sheba.

Описание:
Why did a “secularized” concept of messianicity seem so crucial in the twentieth century? Are messianic structures intelligible outside the theological systems in which they were invented? This book seeks to situate the ethical, ontological, and literary adoptions of messianism within the broader contours of messianic thought. The gesture by Benjamin, Rosenzweig, and others of detaching messianism from the person of the messiah, understanding it instead as a redemptive potential inherent in all human history, is one facet of a broad move in political theory, philosophy, linguistics, and historiography to redeem secular thinking through theological figures. Yet already within religious discourse the messiah figure is paradoxical. With the invocation of a future arrival “to come,” history is opened, yet the previous assumption of an end threatens to shut it off from whatever unexpected might come. The coming arrival, so certain, so complete, will have already come in an anteriority that seems to cancel the future and close down historical life before it starts.
Описание: "My Experience is that in our stress-filled, hurry-sick world, it has never been more important that people have places where they can step back, and be refreshed in body, mind and spirit" - Chris Edmundson, Bishop of Bolton, "A spiritual retreat is where the seekers are seeking God. It is where God is seeking the seekers. It is the meeting place. "Sister Louise Dowgiallo, OSB, of the Benedictine Pastoral Centre in Virginia "Put succinctly, a retreat is an intentional time away for prayer. "Margaret Guenther, 'The Practice of Prayer', "..It will then be up to the seeker to complete the mission of finding God in the peaceful surroundings of holy places.... God is speaking to us all the time and our daily world is too busy to hear His voice. Retreat centres offer an environment for this conversation to take place." www.findthedivine.com. "Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them." -Albert Einstein. For burnt out, exhausted, disheartened Christians, seekers and enquirers if you like, a retreat is obviously the most compelling way to recharge human batteries in a bid to find our physical and spiritual equilibrium. Jesus said "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest" Mark 6:31. The question though is do we go on retreats? The answer lies in the fact that in today's environment, very few are saved the punches of life. The challenges for Christians are multifaceted, ranging from marriage to careers, businesses, and health or rather the lack of it, to finances and so on and so forth. Hosea 2:16 says, "I will allure you, I will lead you into the desert and speak to your heart..." Isn't it about time we retreat - which is symbolic of the desert - and allow God to speak to our hearts? Some go on retreat for an intensive period of prayer and fasting away from everyday surroundings and distractions. Others go on retreats simply to be. To reflect and rest and talk to God in their own way. Still others go on retreat seeking an atmosphere of silence and contemplation, listening for the still small voice. Others go simply to rest, having been buffeted to physical, mental, spiritual and emotional exhaustion. Many return refreshed and renewed with many miracles as a result of time apart with the Lord. It is my firm believe that our Lord and Saviour encourages those who follow him to withdraw to a quiet place now and then to recharge their batteries. "Then Jesus said, let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile. He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat" Mark 6:31, NLT. No matter why you decide to go, just go. This book will help you to finding a suitable place to go. Financial challenges stop many from going on retreats. However, even that is no longer an impediment because there are venues that allow people who cannot afford to pay to go and retreat anyway. You will find them among the pages of this book. Please make contact and enquire if unsure. Some venues also allow their guests to make donations as opposed to paying regular published tariffs. So what are you waiting for? At His service Anna Vanderpuye
In this compelling study of two seventeenth-century female mystics, Bo Karen Lee examines the writings of Anna Maria van Schurman and Madame Jeanne Guyon, who, despite different religious formations, came to similar conclusions about the experience of God in contemplative prayer. Van Schurman was born into a Dutch Calvinist family and became a superb scriptural commentator before undergoing a dramatic religious conversion and joining the Labadist community, a Pietistic movement. Guyon was a French layperson whose thought would be identified with Quietism—a spiritual path that was looked upon with suspicion both by the French Catholic Church and by Rome.
Lee analyzes and compares the themes of self-denial and self-annihilation in the writings of these two mystics. In van Schurman's case, the focus is on the distinction between scholastic knowledge of God and the intima notitia Dei accessible only by radical self-denial. In Guyon's case, it is on the union with God that is accessible only through a painful self-annihilation. For both authors, Lee demonstrates that the desire for enjoyment of God plays an important role as the engine of the soul's progress away from self-centeredness. The appendices offer facing Latin and English translations of two letters by van Schurman and a selection from her Eukleria.

Описание: Despite the fact that Christianity is understood to be thoroughly intertwined with matter, objects, and things, Christians struggle to cope with this materiality in their daily lives. This volume argues that the ambivalent relationships many Christians have with materiality is a driving force that contributes to the way people in different Christian traditions and in different parts of the world understand and live out their religion.
By placing the questions of limits and boundary-work to the fore, the volume addresses the question of exactly how Christianity takes place materially, addressing a gap in studies to date. Christianity and the Limits of Materiality presents ground-breaking research on the frameworks and contexts in relation to and within which Christian logics of materiality operate. The volume places the negotiations at the limits of materiality within the larger framework of Christian identities and politics of belonging.
The chapters discuss case studies from North and South America, Europe, and Africa, and demonstrate that the limits preoccupying Christians delimit their lives but also enable many things. Ultimately, Christianity and the Limits of Materiality demonstrates that it is at the interfaces of materiality and the transcendent that Christians create and legitimise their religion.
