Описание: The essays collected in Jewish Roots of Eastern Christian Mysticism intend to honor Alexander Golitzin, a scholar known for his keen attention to the Jewish matrix of Eastern Orthodox spirituality. Following Golitzin's insights, this Festschrift explores influences of Jewish apocalypticism and mysticism on certain early and late Christian authors, including Irenaeus, Origen, Evagrius of Pontus, Pseudo-Dionysius, and Symeon the New Theologian. Special attention is given to Jewish theophanic traditions regarding the beatific vision of the divine Glory (Kavod), which profoundly shaped Eastern Christian theology and liturgy. This volume demonstrates that recent developments in the study of apocalyptic literature, the Qumran Scrolls, Gnosticism, and later Jewish mysticism throw new and welcome light on the sources and continuities of Orthodox theology, liturgy, and spirituality

Alexander Campbell explains the tenets and principles of the Christian faith, drawing upon decades of experience as a minister, author and leader of the Restoration Movement.
As one of the first Christians in North America to undertake mass distribution of the written word, Campbell understood how spreading knowledge and insight cemented God's cause. This work serves as a summation of Christianity, explaining the significance of the Holy Bible, God as Creator and spiritual knower of all, and the life of his Son on Earth, Jesus Christ. Designed as an informative guide steeped in scriptural wisdom, The Christian System is both a wellspring of religious knowledge and a historic landmark of American Christian authorship.
This edition also includes several lectures and pamphlets delivered by Alexander Campbell over the course of his life. Their topics range from the treatment and forgiveness of sin, to the holy sacraments taken in church, to the spiritual regeneration and rebirth of a man repentant and reformed in God's image. Fittingly, the book concludes with a rallying call to Christian faithful, to the sons and daughters of the Lord, mindful and strident in emulating the Kingdom of God.
A celebrated figure in the Revivalist movement of the mid-19th century, many modern churches in the USA trace their origins to the efforts of Alexander Campbell and his fellow leaders.
Описание: In Divination in Exile, Alexander K. Smith offers the first comprehensive scholarly introduction to the performance of divination in Tibetan speaking communities, both past and present. While Smith surveys a variety of ritual practices, the volume focuses on divination and its associated rites in the contemporary Tibetan Bon tradition. Drawing from multi-site ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Himachal Pradesh and the translation of previously unpublished Tibetan language materials, Divination in Exile offers a valuable, social scientific contribution to our understanding of the perception and usage of ritual manuscripts in contemporary Tibetan cultural milieus.
