Описание: Deification was not only a pagan concept but a metaphor for a deeply Christian view of the purpose of human life. Norman Russell brings together much recent research on the Church Fathers from the second to the seventh centuries, offering an analysis of their spiritual teaching and setting it within the context of the times.
Описание: What is God's ultimate purpose for my life? What is the Doctrine of Eternal Progression, and why do the Mormons believe it? Did the early Christians really believe men could become gods? Did they, at least in part, believe as the Latter-day Saints do? What of other Christians? Did the earliest Christians really believe that the Son was another God, and that a plurality of gods existed in heaven? Does the Bible contain, or even permit such teachings? What did Psalm 82 mean to them? Is it true that early Christians taught in ways to hide sacred teachings of the Church from both their less advanced members and the public? Did ancient scribes deliberately alter their own sacred scriptures? Are many of the scripture proof texts most used by critics of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to attack the Doctrine of Eternal Progression really as useful to them as they think? Author and researcher D. Charles Pyle tackles these questions and critics' objections relative to the Doctrine of Eternal Progression, disentangles proof texts twisted by the critics, attempts to reconstruct the original readings of a few verses in the Bible, based on manuscript evidence, cultural background, structure and style of the texts, and furthermore explains the likely reasons why the Bible reads as it now does in several key texts. Comprised of two parts, one to be read through (presenting to the reader a cross section of texts from the New Testament and other early Christian literature, connecting elements of the early Christian doctrine of deification with part of the LDS Doctrine of Eternal Progression), and the other being a reference collection intended to be consulted as needed when questions arise (although it too can be read through, if desired). The author's original 1999 FAIR Conference paper has been revised, updated, and supplemented in this new print edition, and is the equivalent content of two volumes of material under one cover. Four indexes, including a scripture index listing every scripture or related text cited or quoted in the book, increases its usefulness and makes it easier to find what one is looking for in the text. While not an official LDS Church source, for Mormons and non-Mormons alike this book ought to be a part of any library on the subject of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons), and Latter-day Saint beliefs. Indispensable for those seeking thought-provoking discussions of difficult questions relating to LDS teachings regarding the doctrine of eternal progression, the nature of God, the relationship of man to God, the creation, Bible mistranslations, and more.

Описание: This book explores how traces of the energies and dynamics of Orthodox Christian theology and anthropology may be observed in the clinical work of depth psychology. Looking to theology to express its own religious truths and to psychology to see whether these truth claims show up in healing modalities, the author creatively engages both disciplines in order to highlight the possibilities for healing contained therein. Dynamis of Healing elucidates how theology and psychology are by no means fundamentally at odds with each other, but rather can work together in a beautiful and powerful synergia to address both the deepest needs and deepest desires of the human person for healing and flourishing.

Описание: This book examines ideas of spiritual nourishment as maintained chiefly by Patristic theologians –those who lived in Byzantium. It shows how a particular type of Byzantine frescoes and icons illustrated the views of Patristic thinkers on the connections between the heavenly and the earthly worlds. The author explores the occurrence, and geographical distribution, of this new type of iconography that manifested itself in representations concerned with the human body, and argues that these were a reaction to docetist ideas. The volume also investigates the diffusion of saints’ cults and demonstrates that this took place on a North-South axis as their veneration began in Byzantium and gradually reached the northern part of Europe, and eventually the entirety of Christendom.
Do the writings of the church fathers support a literalist interpretation of Genesis 1? Young earth creationists have maintained that they do. And it is sensible to look to the Fathers as a check against our modern biases. But before enlisting the Fathers as ammunition in our contemporary Christian debates over creation and evolution, some cautions are in order. Are we correctly representing the Fathers and their concerns? Was Basil, for instance, advocating a literal interpretation in the modern sense? How can we avoid flattening the Fathers' thinking into an indexed source book in our quest for establishing their significance for contemporary Christianity? Craig Allert notes the abuses of patristic texts and introduces the Fathers within their ancient context, since the patristic writings require careful interpretation in their own setting. What can we learn from a Basil or Theophilus, an Ephrem or Augustine, as they meditate and expound on themes in Genesis 1? How were they speaking to their own culture and the questions of their day? Might they actually have something to teach us about listening carefully to Scripture as we wrestle with the great axial questions of our own day? Allert's study prods us to consider whether contemporary evangelicals, laudably seeking to be faithful to Scripture, may in fact be more bound to modernity in our reading of Genesis 1 than we realize. Here is a book that resets our understanding of early Christian interpretation and the contemporary conversation about Genesis 1.

Описание: This book is a collection of major articles and texts by Georges Florovsky (1893-1979), an important 20th century theologian, historian, ecumenist and patristic scholar. It includes representative and widely influential but now largely inaccessible writings, some newly translated, with explanatory and bibliographical notes, covering all periods of his career and divided into four major thematic sections: 1) creation and incarnation; 2) the nature of theology; 3) ecclesiology and ecumenism; 4) scripture, worship and eschatology. A foreword by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware presents both personal accounts of contacts with Georges Florovsky and key elements of Florovsky's theological vision, in the context of the continuing relevance of his work. The introduction by Brandon Gallaher and Paul Ladouceur gives an overview of Florovsky's work. It focuses on his Christology, ecclesiology, his approach to tradition (especially the Fathers of the Church), Christian philosophy, ecumenism and mission, with reflections on 'Florovsky after Florovsky.' The book includes explanatory and bibliographical notes, translation of patristic citations, and an index.
