"The enigmatic link between the natural and artistic beauty that is to be contemplated but not eaten, on the one hand, and the eucharistic beauty that is both seen (with the eyes of faith) and eaten, on the other, intrigues me and inspires this book. One cannot ask theo-aesthetic questions about the Eucharist without engaging fundamental questions about the relationship between beauty, art (broadly defined), and eating."—from Eating Beauty
In a remarkable book that is at once learned, startlingly original, and highly personal, Ann W. Astell explores the ambiguity of the phrase "eating beauty." The phrase evokes the destruction of beauty, the devouring mouth of the grave, the mouth of hell. To eat beauty is to destroy it. Yet in the case of the Eucharist the person of faith who eats the Host is transformed into beauty itself, literally incorporated into Christ. In this sense, Astell explains, the Eucharist was "productive of an entire 'way' of life, a virtuous life-form, an artwork, with Christ himself as the principal artist." The Eucharist established for the people of the Middle Ages distinctive schools of sanctity—Cistercian, Franciscan, Dominican, and Ignatian—whose members were united by the eucharistic sacrament that they received.
Reading the lives of the saints not primarily as historical documents but as iconic expressions of original artworks fashioned by the eucharistic Christ, Astell puts the "faceless" Host in a dynamic relationship with these icons. With the advent of each new spirituality, the Christian idea of beauty expanded to include, first, the marred beauty of the saint and, finally, that of the church torn by division—an anti-aesthetic beauty embracing process, suffering, deformity, and disappearance, as well as the radiant lightness of the resurrected body. This astonishing work of intellectual and religious history is illustrated with telling artistic examples ranging from medieval manuscript illuminations to sculptures by Michelangelo and paintings by Salvador Dal?. Astell puts the lives of medieval saints in conversation with modern philosophers as disparate as Simone Weil and G. W. F. Hegel.

Описание: Embedded with lively portrayals of historical actors and vivid descriptions of political details, A Spiritual Revolution is the first large-scale effort to fully identify exactly how Western progressive thought influenced the Russian Church.
"There are truths beyond the nirvanas and ecstasies, beyond the transcendental perspectives and the present-moment awareness, which are waiting to be recognized."
The Possibilities of Spiritual Experience brings together the four major forces in Western spiritual movements--Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism (including the Yogic and Advaita traditions)--acknowledging their distinctive contributions to an emerging, evolutionary and universal paradigm.
The author, based on his own direct experiences as well as those of recognized spiritual figures (Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi, Christian mystics, and others), clarifies and gives solutions to important conundrums of contemporary spirituality, such as:
What is the value and place of the diverse mystical-spiritual experiences (e.g., types of Awakening, spiritual Baptisms, possibilities of Enlightenment, Divine Love cognition, etc.) attested by mystics and adepts of different backgrounds?
Why do spiritual traditions differ in philosophy and goals (e.g., Liberation vs. Resurrection vs. Transformation)?
How is it possible to accept a plausible never-ending spiritual evolution together with the notion of a final attainment or 'full Enlightenment'?
How is a personal path of regeneration compatible with the experiences of transcendence or returning to an impersonal 'Source'?
The Possibilities of Spiritual Experience challenges both the static views of traditional spirituality and the simplistic approaches of contemporary spiritual movements, providing a path for the modernization of spirituality arguing that "the science of Enlightenment spirituality] never reached the Enlightenment Age." This book is a genuine effort to make spirituality a recognized field of science.

Описание:
Marion Goldman and Steven Pfaff define a spiritual virtuoso as someone who works toward personal purification and a sense of holiness with the same perseverance and intensity that virtuosi strive to excel in the arts or athletics. Since the Protestant Reformation, activist virtuosi have come together in large and small social movements to redefine the meanings of spiritual practice, support religious equality, and transform a wide range of social institutions. Tracing the impact of spiritual virtuosi from the sixteenth century Reformation through the nineteenth-century Anti-Slavery Movement to the twentieth-century Human Potential Movement and beyond, Marion Goldman and Steven Pfaff explore how personal virtuosity can become a social force.
Martin Luther began to expand spiritual possibilities in the West when he charted paths that did not require the Church's intercession between the individual and God. He believed that everyone could and should reach toward sacred truths and transcendent moments. Over the centuries, millions of people have built on his innovations and embarked on spiritual quests that offer new possibilities for sacred relationships and social change.
Описание: In The Lost Discipline of Conversation, spiritual formation professor and author Joanne Jung introduces the forgotten Puritan practice of purposeful, transparent spiritual conversations - called "conference" - that can renew our spiritual lives today.

Описание:
In this book, Richard relates his experiences during his own trips to heaven to meet Jesus and other people from the Bible and history. He is an ordained minister and comes from a family of preachers. As such, he is well-acquainted with what the Bible has to say on these and other subjects. Among the many things you will read in this book, you will see Richard's as well as God's burden for the lost who are on their way to hell. You will also see Jesus' disgust towards those who only pretend to play church, like those He referred to in 3 Revelation who attended the church at Laodicea.
There may be many who are skeptical of the accounts presented in this book. I would simply ask you to keep an open mind as you read, and if nothing else, come away with the idea that heaven is a real place and it is perfect where there is no pain or sorrow. It is a place where people will forever love the one who died for them.

Описание:
How do we form a strong spiritual life when even wholesome activities can drain spiritual energy? How and when should we extend Christ-honoring compassion to others?
Using the cross as a visual, Spiritual Formation guides us through four sections of developing an ever-increasing vertical passion for God and never-failing horizontal compassion for others.
The familiar disciplines and exercises of Spiritual Formation would seem to produce cloned Christians, but Dr. Houck explains how personalities, strengths, and weaknesses determine how we live out these disciplines.
No matter how much passion for God and passion for others we develop, we never cease movement through Spiritual Formation sections. Joy found in the journey will lead us back to section one to embrace those who have not yet started the journey or have faltered on the way.
Spiritual Formation: The Joy of the Journey calls each of us to follow God's unique personal path to passion for God and compassion for others.
