Book Description
The seventh-century Regula cuiusdam ad uirgines (Someone's Rule for Virgins), which was most likely written by Jonas of Bobbio, the hagiographer of the Irish monk Columbanus, forms an ideal point of departure for writing a new history of the emergence of Western monasticism understood as a history of the individual and collective attempt to pursue eternal salvation. The book provides a critical edition and translation of the Regula cuiusdam ad uirgines and a roadmap for such a new history revolving around various aspects of monastic discipline, such as the agency of the community, the role of enclosure, authority and obedience, space and boundaries, confession and penance, sleep and silence, excommunication and expulsion.

In Pursuit of Wholeness
Author: Wilfred Graves
Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers
ISBN: 0768489911
Category : Healing
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
God wants to rescue you from the things that diminish or destroy your spirit, mind, body, relationships, and other aspects of your humanity. Jesus came to offer salvation and healing to the total person—to restore broken individuals to a place of wholeness and well-being. Comprehensively covered topics include the anointing of the Holy Spirit, spiritual antidotes for anxiety, today’s miracles, a balanced perspective of physical healing, and the discipline of prayer, as well as many others. In Pursuit of Wholeness presents definitive steps to receiving personal transformation through the gift of salvation and its relationship to wholeness for the entire person. Many current books on supernatural Christianity rely heavily on personal testimonies and little on sound interpretation of the biblical text. In Pursuit of Wholeness corrects this imbalance and opens up this world in a way that is biblically sound and practically relevant. Explore the meaning and benefits of salvation as you experience the fullness and wholeness of God’s love and grace in your life—today.

The Cambridge Companion to Orthodox Christian Theology
Author: Elizabeth Theokritoff
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139827944
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Orthodox Christian theology is often presented as the direct inheritor of the doctrine and tradition of the early Church. But continuity with the past is only part of the truth; it would be false to conclude that the eastern section of the Christian Church is in any way static. Orthodoxy, building on its patristic foundations, has blossomed in the modern period. This volume focuses on the way Orthodox theological tradition is understood and lived today. It explores the Orthodox understanding of what theology is: an expression of the Church's life of prayer, both corporate and personal, from which it can never be separated. Besides discussing aspects of doctrine, the book portrays the main figures, themes and developments that have shaped Orthodox thought. There is particular focus on the Russian and Greek traditions, as well as the dynamic but less well-known Antiochian tradition and the Orthodox presence in the West.

The Medieval Economy of Salvation
Author: Adam J. Davis
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501742124
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 485
Book Description
In The Medieval Economy of Salvation, Adam J. Davis shows how the burgeoning commercial economy of western Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, alongside an emerging culture of Christian charity, led to the establishment of hundreds of hospitals and leper houses. Focusing on the county of Champagne, he looks at the ways in which charitable organizations and individuals—townspeople, merchants, aristocrats, and ecclesiastics—saw in these new institutions a means of infusing charitable giving and service with new social significance and heightened expectations of spiritual rewards. In tracing the rise of the medieval hospital during a period of intense urbanization and the transition from a gift economy to a commercial one, Davis makes clear how embedded this charitable institution was in the wider social, cultural, religious, and economic fabric of medieval life.

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side […] a conquest of the Most High God. – A. W. Tozer With words like these, Tozer shakes the soul. He crumbles the lies we believe and calls us to the more sure way. In these pages, Tozer says what it means to truly be saved.

Servants of Salvation
Author: Delf USA
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781478772071
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Truth telling is the most gratifying human expression possible. Servants of Salvation: Saints of Yahshua is a restorative account of the facts and personalities surrounding the Incarnate Son of a Loving Father. The careful and methodical telling of relevant facts and circumstances surrounding the divine plan attending to the redemptive renewal of all those few mortals, who have been Called-Out to a better life in a better space, is the work of this book. It is a 22-piece literary composition detailing the activities, hopes, and dreams of the Saints of Salvation's uncompromising devotion and allegiance to a Self-Less Savior Who gave to each of us, mortals, a new way of living, a new way of behaving, and a new way of forgiving. It is the graphic account of all those faithful walkers and workers who dared to depart from the conventional-comfort zone of their day, in a determined pursuit of the Passionate Person of a Precious-and-Personal Savior. "Servants of Salvation" is a priceless lifeline into the protective bosom of our Holy Father YHWH. This book exposes the intricate "particulars" that must be negotiated by all prospective Saints whose destination is the Kingdom of Heaven. It gives each of us that one additional opportunity to evade and avoid all those worldly snares and pitfalls that the gods and goddesses of this world, under the sinister sway of God Satan, have concocted to separate us from the love and rewards of a Loving Creator and Blessed Savior. This book poignantly informs our collective consciousness of one core truth: Yahshua is the Salvation of YHWH to us; and the only pathway into the Paradise of our Holy Dad is through the medium of His Son, our Savior Yahshua.
