The Letters of Barsanuphius and John - The Rev. Dr John (office Of Ecumenical And Inter Faith Affairs Of The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Of America

The Letters of Barsanuphius and John - The Rev. Dr John (office Of Ecumenical And Inter Faith Affairs Of The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Of America

Revealing unexpected truths about early desert spirituality, this volume argues that the lives of Barsanuphius and John relate closely to contemporary urban communities and how clergy tackle social challenges. The early Desert Fathers and Mothers have exercised a particular charm and appeal in recent years, but they have often been portrayed as inaccessible and eccentric figures in the history of monastic spirituality. John Chryssavgis argues that the elders have an unusual capacity to reach into the depths of the heart to reveal the extraordinary in the very ordinary, and that the correspondence between Barsanuphius and John offers an unparalleled glimpse into the sixth-century religious, political, and secular world. It opens with an exploration into the historical context of Palestinian monasticism, followed by an evaluation of the fundamental principles and practices of Barsanuphius and John.

John Paul II - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

John Paul II - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Here a group of highly intelligent Roman Catholic writers, all regular contributors to The Tablet , provide their own assessment of the Papacy of John Paul II. The Papacy of John Paul II lasted twenty-seven years; the third longest in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Rowan Williams has said ''He never wavered in the struggle for what was right'', but this in itself was a matter of controversy.The Pope, who understood the media and how to make use of it, devoted his life to propounding the Christian Gospel tirelessly as he saw it. At the time of his death, he was the leader of a Church with membership of a billion people.He changed the course of history by his part in toppling the Communist powers of Eastern Europe, but faced with the crisis of sexual scandal in the Roman Catholic Church and the ruthless advance of AIDS in the African continent, some may feel his response was less adequate. Already called Pope John Paul the Great, his influence will continue to be felt for centuries.

Becoming John - Professor Kari Syreeni - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Becoming John - Professor Kari Syreeni - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In this new analysis of the Gospel of John, Kari Syreeni argues that the gospel is a heavily reworked edition of an earlier Johannine work, and that the original did not include Jesus’ passion. Syreeni theorizes that the original gospel ended at Chapter 12, with the notion of Jesus’ disappearance from the world, and that the passion narrative was incorporated by a later editor freely using the existing gospels of Mark and Matthew.Syreeni suggests that the letters of John — written after the predecessor gospels but before the final edition — reveal a schism in the Johannine community that was caused by the majority faction’s acceptance of Jesus’ death and resurrection, as it was then recorded in the new gospel. By exploring the gospel’s different means of legitimizing the passion story, such as the creation of the ‘Beloved Disciple’ to witness Jesus’ passion, and the foreshadowing of the resurrection of Jesus in the miracle of Lazarus, Syreeni provides a bold and provocative case for a new understanding of John.

1, 2, and 3 John: An Introduction and Study Guide - Prof. Warren Carter - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

1, 2, and 3 John: An Introduction and Study Guide - Prof. Warren Carter - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This insightful study engages the debates and interpretations of the brief and somewhat elusive writings known in the Christian canon as 1, 2, and 3 John. Chapter 1 identifies six unknowns about the origins of the three writings: authors, relationship to John’s Gospel, order, date and location of the writings, and their audiences. Chapters 2 and 3 delineate the debate concerning the relationship of these writings to a purported “Johannine tradition” and “Johannine community” in which a schism is claimed to have occurred. An alternative view recognizes that while there are some connections with John’s Gospel, it is more compelling to see the writings as independent rather than derivative, as internally not externally directed, as pastoral not polemical, and as schism-free. Chapters 4-7 discuss important aspects of 1 John. Chapter 4 argues that its structure or organization is based on rhetorical and conceptual links among the writing’s small units. Chapter 5 reads 1 John as a pastoral “in-house” writing, rather than a polemical attack on opponents. Chapter 6 identifies the genre of I John as not a letter or sermon but an epideictic speech that seeks to strengthen the identity, commitments, and practices of its believing recipients. Chapter 7 outlines theological understandings that underpin the writing’s pastoral work.Chapters 8 and 9 focus on 2 and 3 John as writings that provide two different approaches to itinerant teachers. The narrative fiction in 2 John presents the elder’s warning and skepticism about itinerant teachers whereas the author of 3 John, by contrast, advocates reception and welcome for itinerant teachers.

John William McCormack - Garrison Nelson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

John William McCormack - Garrison Nelson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In the first biography of U.S. House Speaker John W. McCormack, author Garrison Nelson uncovers previously forgotten FBI files, birth and death records, and correspondence long thought lost or buried. For such an influential figure, McCormack tried to dismiss the past, almost erasing his legacy from the public’s mind. John William McCormack: A Political Biography sheds light on the behind-the-curtain machinations of American politics and the origins of the modern-day Democratic party, facilitated through McCormack’s triumphs.McCormack overcame desperate poverty and family tragedy in the Irish ghetto of South Boston to hold the second-most powerful position in the nation. By reinventing his family history to elude Irish Boston’s powerful political gatekeepers, McCormack embarked on a 1928 - 1971 House career and from 1939-71, the longest house leadership career. Working with every president from Coolidge to Nixon, McCormack’s social welfare agenda, which included Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, immigration reform, and civil rights legislation helped commit the nation to the welfare of its most vulnerable citizens. By helping create the Austin-Boston Connection, McCormack reshaped the Democratic Party from a regional southern white Protestant party to one that embraced urban religiously and racially diverse ethnics. A man free of prejudice, John McCormack was the Boston Brahmin’s favorite Irishman, the South’s favorite northerner, and known in Boston as "Rabbi John," the Jews’ favorite Catholic.

Sin, the Human Predicament, and Salvation in the Gospel of John - Associate Professor Mathew E. Sousa - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Sin, the Human Predicament, and Salvation in the Gospel of John - Associate Professor Mathew E. Sousa - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Mathew E. Sousa demonstrates that in certain respects, John’s doctrine of salvation fails to align with its customary depiction in Johannine scholarship. Sousa suggests that, according to John, the human predicament is not merely “unbelief” or a lack of mental perception, and Jesus’s mission consists not merely of “revelation” and/or a purely forensic atonement. Rather, Jesus is (for John) the one who makes true and everlasting life an accomplished fact for humanity, and in doing so Jesus reveals the true nature of the predicament from which he saves. Sousa argues that salvation in the Gospel of John concerns “ethics” and the quality or condition of human corporeality. The matters of sin and death in particular also make clear that, according to John, the human predicament is a reality that in various ways persists for believers as they both are and become children of God. Sousa thus concludes that salvation for John consists of far more than the emergence of belief in a moment of decision.

The Tangier Diaries - John Hopkins - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Tangier Diaries - John Hopkins - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

John Hopkins brings back to life all the decadence and flamboyance of Tangier in the 1960s and 1970s. Tangier in the 1960s and ’70s was a fabled place. This edge city, the ''Interzone'', became muse and escapist''s dream for artists, writers, millionaires and socialites, who wrote, painted, partied and experienced life with an intensity and freedom that they never could back home.Into this louche and cosmopolitan world came John Hopkins, a young writer who became a part of the bohemian Tangier crowd with its core of Beats that included William Burroughs, Paul and Jane Bowles and Brion Gysin, as well as Tennessee Williams, Jean Genet, Yves Saint Laurent, Barbara Hutton and Malcolm Forbes. Those intoxicating decades – Tangier''s ''Golden Years'' – are long gone. Grand old houses that once sparkled with life are shuttered and dark and most of the eccentrics who once lived and loved in the city have died.But here, in the pages of John Hopkins'' cult classic, all the decadence and flamboyance of those days is brought to life once more.
