Описание:
In Uncommon Prayer: Prayer in Everyday Experience, Michael Plekon wants to change our minds on what constitutes prayer. In doing so, he makes a theological claim that commonplace aspects of the Christian life are best understood as prayer, whereby encouraging us to see that everyday life carries religious import; prayer and the religious life are not restricted to special places and times, but are open to all believers at all times.
Plekon examines the works of diverse authors, including many who have challenged the status quo of institutional churches. He asks us to listen to what poets, writers, activists, and others tell us about how they pray at work and at home, with colleagues, family, and friends, in all the experiences of life, from joy to suffering, sadness to hope. Among them are Sarah Coakley, Rowan Williams, Heather Havrilesky, Sara Miles, Thomas Merton, Mary Oliver, Christian Wiman, Mary Karr, Barbara Brown Taylor, Dorothy Day, Maria Skobtsova, Paul Evdokimov, Seraphim of Sarov, and Richard Rohr. Plekon argues that prayer encompasses a much wider variety of activity than formal and liturgical prayers and that, by recognizing such aspects of prayer, the believer is made more receptive to transformative aspects of prayerful attitudes.

Описание: Ashley Cocksworth presents Karl Barth as a theologian who not only produces a strong and vibrant theology of prayer, but also grounds theology itself in the practice of prayer. Prayer and theology are revealed to be integrally related in Barth's understanding of the dogmatic task. Cocksworth provides careful analysis of a range of key texts in Barth's thought in which the theme of prayer emerges with particular interest. He analyzes: Barth's writings on the Sabbath and uncovers an unexpected theology of contemplative prayer; the doctrine of creation of the Church Dogmatics and explores its prioritization of petitionary prayer; and the ethics of the doctrine of reconciliation in which a 'turn to invocation' is charted and the final 'resting place' of Barth's theology of prayer is found. Through the theme of prayer fundamental questions are asked about the relation of human agency to divine agency as conceived by Barth, and new insights are offered into his understandings of the nature and task of theology, pneumatology, sin, baptism, religion, and sanctification. The result is a rich engagement with Barth's theology of prayer, an advancement of scholarship on Karl Barth, and a constructive contribution to the theology of prayer.

If you want to be free NOW from the dark forces plaguing your life, then keep reading
Do you struggle to live a joyful, healthy and prosperous life even though you live according to Christian principles. Despite your best efforts, do things always seem to go wrong for you and your loved ones? Are you slowly losing hope and can't help feeling some kind of power is working against you?
The fact is that an unseen enemy is seeking to destroy your health, your relationships, your children, your mental health and your future. He is a cunning, masterful and patient enemy who will not stop until he has laid waste to your life and those around you.
My name is Celeste Baker and I am a mother of three from Wisconsin. Ten years ago I found myself on the brink of divorce, my health was deteriorating fast, my children were failing at school and I was in a constant state of mental distress. I prayed, attended church and was a good Christian, yet my life continued to fall apart.
My life changed when I confided my problems to a retired pastor. He suggested the malign influence of Satan and then disclosed a prayer that, he claimed, had the ability to cast him out of my life. I didn't for a minute believe that Satan was causing my misfortunes, yet I had hit rock bottom and was willing to try anything. So in Christian fellowship I accepted the prayer and took heed of his instructions on how to use it to best effect.
A week after using this prayer a huge weight lifted off my chest and I felt clear and pain-free for the first time in years. I actually felt the mental fog, sickness and dark energy evaporate. Only after I tasted this sweet freedom did I know beyond doubt that I had been in the grip of the Devil. No other power could have laid waste to my life and household so thoroughly for all these years.
However, I also knew beyond doubt that this prayer was my new spiritual armor that would never allow dark forces to enter my life again. I now had a weapon against Satan and, like the coward he is, he went off looking for easier defenseless prey.
I was able to save my marriage and show my children a more productive path for their lives. Seeing the changes in those you love is truly the greatest blessing. Since that time I have shared this prayer with many who were in need and it has not failed to bring change for the better. Now with God's grace and guidance I have been able to release this book to spread the teaching.
This is a concise 40-page book that gets right to the point and arms you with the knowledge to defeat the Devil. There's no need to read hundreds of pages of theory before you can take action. You can start using the prayer TODAY.
You will discover:
✅ The EXACT prayer that will drive out Satan and his dark influence from your life FOR GOOD ✅ Instructions on HOW to use the prayer so it is 100% effective ✅ How to make sure no dark forces can harm you again in future ✅ How to open the way for abundance in your life ✅ How to ensure your loved ones come under the prayer's protection and are NEVER harmed
This small book is all you need to defeat Satan and make your life the miracle it was meant to be. You will be saved even if you have prayed without result in the past, even if you have tried countless strategies to turn your life around and they have all failed. This WILL work for you as it has done for countless others.
On the four corner lots formed by the intersecting of Main and Church Streets in Palmyra, NY, one finds four large Protestant churches today. Two centuries ago on the Smith family farm a few blocks to the south, a teenage Joseph Jr. found himself caught in the rivalry between such churches contentiously competing to claim the allegiance of repentant converts from the most recent revival. He wrote that, while praying in a grove of trees a short walk from his log cabin home, "I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong." He would go on to organize a new church, which-ironically-would soon claim to be "the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth." Over the years Protestant denominational loyalties and exclusivity claims have faded and expressions of mutual embrace are not uncommon. However, the lines between these churches and the one founded by Joseph Smith Jr.-The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-have remained stark and at times harsh. How does Jesus Christ, himself, perceive this excluding of one another? In the Lord's prayer recorded in John 17, Jesus appears to anticipate these divisions arising among his would-be followers. So he prays repetitively and passionately that they be protected from these. At stake is the validity of their witness to the world of his own exclusive claims. To be sure, differing beliefs as to what those claims are should not be superficially dismissed. But, in the light of how Jesus prayed, should they not be honestly and prayerfully discussed in a mutually respectful way? To stimulate and facilitate this discussion is the intent of this book, using as our guide the simple but profound petitions Jesus taught us in the more well-known Lord's Prayer.
"I came to know and admire Bill Heersink in a formal theological dialogue between Evangelical Christians and Latter-day Saints. Bill has chosen to look carefully at the beliefs of Evangelicals and Latter-day Saints through the lens of a scriptural passage beloved by both groups-the Lord's Prayer. And how better could we hope to achieve unity of purpose and 'convicted civility' than through Jesus Christ?" -Robert L. Millet is Professor Emeritus of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University, where he served as Dean of Religious Education.
"Bill Heersink, seminary professor and participant in many dialogues, brings his most irenic and upbeat spirit to this gem of a book. Fully abreast of the most important academic questions, the book nevertheless wears its learning lightly and at times reads more like a devotional. Warmly to be commended to all readers of any or no faith communities." -Craig L. Blomberg is Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary and co-author of the groundbreaking book How Wide the Divide? A Mormon and an Evangelical in Conversation.
"Having lived in Utah among the Latter-day Saints for many years, the author affirms his own deeply Christian beliefs while respectfully seeking to reconcile differences between Mormon and Protestant theology and beliefs." -Richard E. Bennett is Professor of Church History and Doctrine at Brigham Young University and former President of the Mormon History Association.
"Bill has brought all of that experience to the writing of a book that expresses a pastor's heart, a love of Mormon neighbors, theological savvy, and a Christ-centered spirituality ... a book that evangelical pastors and Mormon bishops can recommend with confidence." -Richard J. Mouw was President of Fuller Theological Seminary,1993-2012.

Описание: Today we think of ukiyo-e - `the pictures of the floating world` - as masterpieces of Japanese art. Yet it is often said that ukiyo-e were little appreciated in their own time. Julie Nelson Davis debunks this myth and demonstrates that ukiyo-e was thoroughly appreciated as a field of artistic production, worthy of connoisseurship by contemporaries.
