Preaching the Word with John Chrysostom (Lived Theology)
by Gerald BrayLearn from the early church's greatest preacher. John of Antioch, later called "chrysostomos" ("golden mouth"), preached over 600 extant sermons. He was one of the most prolific authors in the early Church, surpassed only by Augustine of Hippo. His example and work has inspired countless Christians through the ages. In Preaching the Word with Chrysostom, through a combination of storytelling and theology, Gerald Bray reflects upon 1,500 year-old pastoral wisdom from one of church history's most prolific Christ-centered preachers. Chrysostom's eloquent preaching and influence on Christian teaching left a legacy that is still recognized today. The Lived Theology series explores aspects of Christian doctrine through the eyes of the men and women who practiced it. Interweaving the contributions of notable individuals alongside their overshadowed contemporaries, we gain a much deeper understanding and appreciation of their work and the broad tapestry of Christian history. These books illuminate the vital contributions made by these figures throughout the history of the church.
Documents of the English Reformation (Library of Ecclesiastical History)
by Gerald BrayThe Reformation era has long been seen as crucial in developing the institutions and society of the English-speaking peoples, and study of the Tudor and Stuart era is at the heart of most courses in English history. The influence of the Book of Common Prayer and the King James version of the Bible created the modern English language, but until the publication of Gerald Bray's Documents of the English Reformation there had been no collection of contemporary documents available to show how these momentous social and political changes took place. This comprehensive collection covers the period from 1526 to 1700 and contains many texts previously relatively inaccessible, along with others more widely known. The book also provides informative appendixes, including comparative tables of the different articles and confessions, showing their mutual relationships and dependence. With fifty-eight documents covering all the main Statutes, Injunctions and Orders, Prefaces to prayer books, Biblical translations and other relevant texts, thi62620620p 620p20p s third edition of Docume
Learning from Action: Working with the Non-verbal
by R. D. Hinshelwood and Luca MingarelliSince the early 1990s, Enrico Pedriali with R. D. Hinshelwood organised workshops in Italy known as the learning from action workshops. This novel approach evolved from applying the principles of therapeutic communities to a group relations form of experiential conference. The group relation tradition, however, does not focus particularly on mental health organisations and tends to focus on senior management issues of leadership and authority. In contrast, the learning from action workshops are tailored to the care workers engaged in the direct work, in particular for those working with clients and patients with significant problems with verbal and symbolic communication. The workshops also include an element of research into the unconscious messaging systems employed in making relations, which contribute to therapeutic and other mental health care services. There are also chapters on a related form of workshop - the living and learning experience - which was established primarily for learning about therapeutic communities, which bring further insight to working practices. The book brings together a community of 21 authors: Giada Boletti, Louisa Diana Brunner, Davide Catullo, Heather Churchill, John Diamond Donna M. Elmendorf, Giovanni Foresti, Rex Haigh, R. D. Hinshelwood, Yuko Kawai, Eriko Koga, Jan Lees, Simona Masnata, Luca Mingarelli, Gilad Ovadia, Mario Perini, Barbara Rawlings, Antonio Sama, Edward R. Shapiro, Lili Valko, and Zsolt Zalka. It will be a must-read for those working in mental health care. The information within will be of use to those new to the profession, for whom there is often very little preparation or reading material, and also to more senior members to use not only for their own development but also in training and research activities in mental health.

Infallibility, Integrity and Obedience: The Papacy and the Roman Catholic Church, 1848-2023
by John M. RistThe doctrinal and structural revolution currently underway in the Roman Catholic Church is alarming for several reasons, not least because of the arbitrary nature of its imposition and the absence of resistance it has encountered. The reluctance of many to challenge the authority of the pope, tied to the increasing personal veneration by the faithful of each successive incumbent of the Holy See, is arguably a symptom of unresolved unclarity surrounding the nature of authority in the Church dating back to the First Vatican Council. In Infallibility, Integrity and Obedience, John Rist unflinchingly exposes the developments that have bred this crisis of understanding - and the resulting rejection of tradition in the papal agenda - over the past hundred and fifty years. Reserving particular attention for the Roman Catholic dilemmas, political and theological, of the 1930s, the mid-twentieth-century debates on reproductive technology, and the advent of 'celebrity autocracy', he shows how a misapprehension of the nature and definition of papal infallibility is at the root of the major issues facing the Church today. Most importantly, he proposes how the conciliar and individual decisions that have led to the current situation might be reversed, and how the proper role of the Pope can be reclaimed for the good of the Church.
Témoin Oculaire: Un Thriller
by Tina FolsomCe n'est pas de la paranoïa s'ils en ont vraiment après toi... Emily Warner, professeur de musique aveugle, recouvre la vue grâce à une greffe. Toutefois, revoir ne s'avère pas de tout repos et la catapulte même sur un chemin semé d'embûches. Alors qu'elle commence à enquêter sur les visions qu'elle perçoit, elle découvre que celles-ci lui sont en réalité envoyées par l'individu à qui appartenaient les cornées utilisées lors de la greffe, et que la mort de cette personne n'était pas due à un simple accident. En décidant de prouver que son donneur a été assassiné, elle se retrouve rapidement dans le viseur du tueur. Mais peu importe les risques, elle se doit de le démasquer avant qu'une autre jeune fille ne meure de sa main... et avant qu'Emily ne devienne sa prochaine victime. Un thriller à suspense au rythme soutenu se déroulant au sein de l'élite de Washington D.C. Un thriller psychologique captivant par Tina Folsom - BestThrillers.com Un mélange réussi de thriller psychologique et de science-fiction, à la fois captivant, inquiétant et émouvant. Quinze ans après un accident de voiture l'ayant privée de sa vue et de sa famille, Emily Warner, 30 ans, recouvre la vue grâce à une miraculeuse greffe de cornée. Il s'agit en fait de sa deuxième opération. La première avait échoué, et pas seulement à cause d'un rejet de son corps. En effet, peu après l'opération, des visions avaient tourmenté Emily au point de la rendre folle. Après le succès de sa deuxième opération, Emily est de nouveau confrontée à des souvenirs troublants qui ne sont pas les siens. Son médecin rejette la théorie de la mémoire cellulaire, mais cela n'empêche pas Emily d'être bien déterminée à découvrir l'identité de son donneur – et du meurtrier de celui-ci. L'auteure Tina Folsom a créé un thriller de haut niveau qui fait feu de tout bois. L'histoire se déroule à Washington D.C et met en scène des personnages fascinants, comme un courtier d'armes, un membre du cercle rapproché du président américain, et Adam Yang, l'inspecteur du coin. Avec tact, Folsom dépeint ce dernier comme un enquêteur inébranlable, bien que quelque peu prévisible et en proie au désarroi face à son mariage brisé et ses querelles de juridictions. Yang, figure centrale de l'intrigue, allie persévérance et esprit d'enquête, tandis qu'Emily, dotée de pouvoirs surnaturels et avide de mystères à résoudre, apporte la dimension complémentaire afin de faire d'eux une alliance parfaite. Folsom comprend également l'importance de ne pas brûler toutes ses cartouches. Plutôt que de dévoiler d'emblée le passé et la psychologie d'Emily, l'autrice révèle des éléments évocateurs à des moments opportuns au fur et à mesure que l'histoire progresse, tantôt directement au lecteur, tantôt à la meilleure amie d'Emily. Résultat : un thriller haletant, riche en rebondissements inattendus à chaque tournant.

Large-Group Psychology: Racism, Societal Divisions, Narcissistic Leaders and Who We Are Now
by Vamik Volkan2021 Gradiva Award Winner Following the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, numerous recent, and fatal, attacks on mosques, churches, and synagogues occurring worldwide, and increasing totalitarianism and paranoia spreading through many countries, Dr Vamik Volkan could no longer ignore the urge to write a new book about large-group problems. In many countries, people are asking the metaphorical question "Who are we now?" and coming up with seemingly opposite answers. This book looks into the reasons why this is happening. With a summary of Sigmund Freud's ideas about large groups - which focus on the individual - Dr Volkan builds on this base to explain what large-group psychology is in its own right and applies it to present-day society. How it develops in adulthood, the psychology of decision-making and political leader/follower relationships, political propaganda, and exaggerated narcissism in leaders are all examined. We are all members of at least one large group. Looking into large-group identity provides background data for investigating the spread of racism, authoritarian regimes, malignant political propaganda, wall building, and interferences with democratic processes and human rights issues. Large-Group Psychology: Racism, Societal Divisions, Narcissistic Leaders and Who We Are Now is the perfect book for those questioning what is happening in society today and why.
Paul: The Theology of the Apostle in the Light of Jewish Religious History (Library of Theological Translations)
by Hj SchoepsA major study of the apostle to the Gentiles, combining exceptional scholarship with an unusual approach. Schoeps interprets Paul's theology in the light of his Jewish background, which coloured and conditioned his Christological teaching. Paul's conception of Jesus differs from that of the Synoptics: what and how extensive the difference is and whence it is derived are among the questions Schoeps examines. After surveying major problems in Pauline research, the Author relates the apostle to primitive Christianity, discussing his eschatology and his teachings on salvation, the law, and saving history. The final chapter shows that Paul's distinctive doctrines result from two converging factors, that Paul never saw Jesus in the flesh, and the influence of Jewish teaching. The consequence was his concern with the resurrected Saviour of the world, the pre-existent and eternal Son of God. Schoeps shows that Paul betrayed a fundamental misconception of the law and the covenantal agreement between God and his chosen people. The result is a thought-provoking, and somewhat startling, study of the first, the greatest, and the most difficult of all Christian theologians.

American Dreamer: Bucky Fuller and the Sacred Geometry of Nature
by Scott EasthamSynergetics can be defined as the exploratory strategy of starting with the whole. It was in the 1940s that Buckminster Fuller developed a series of spherical models which embodied the synergetic theory within geometry. This study of Fuller's sacredgeometry describes with vigour and in detail how his spherical figures relate both to Nature and to the tenets of synergetics. The author assesses the legacy of Fuller, a scientist-artist-engineer extraordinaire whose visions were inspired by the American Dream, and portrays with enthusiasm and sympathy the creative and individual science of a man whose character was as multifaceted as the domes he created. Discover the theory behind the idea that the straight lines and boxes of science and maths are inadequate for representing Nature's spherical and cyclical patterns of growth. The ways in which Fulleris synergetics can be seen in the ancient iconographies of the past are also revealed with fresh insight. In addition, Eastham looks to thefuture artistic applications of Fuller's wholes, with the aim of inspiring the reader to think outside of the box themselves. 'We sought for years to bring out a brief alternative geometry textbook. [...] It's not easy to produce a round thing ina square world...' Extract from the Introduction.

It is a joy to read, inviting you into the psychotherapeutic world as a welcome guest to discover the process of psychotherapy, the role of the therapist, and the psychological defences we all employ.

These stories come to life in an engaging, enthralling, and enjoyable read for therapists and the public alike.
All Things New: The Trinitarian Nature of the Human Calling in Maximus the Confessor and Jurgen Moltmann
by Brock BingamanFor both Maximus the Confessor (c. 580-662) and Jurgen Moltmann (b. 1926) understanding what it means to be human springs from a contemplative vision of God. This comparative study explores surprising parallels between the theological anthropology of theseventh-century Byzantine monk and the contemporary German Protestant. Bingaman shows that Maximus and Moltmann root their understanding of the human calling in their Trinitarian and christological reflection, in contrast to many modern theologies that tend to devise an account of human being first, and then try to find ways in which Christ and the Trinity are somehow relevant to this human being. In this constructive work, Bingaman demonstrates the intrinsic connection between Maximus and Moltmann's views of human being, Christ and the Trinity, the church, and the human calling in creation. Illustrating the richness of these ancient and postmodern theologies in conversation, 'All Things New' lays out future trajectories in theological anthropology, patristic ressourcement, ecologically attuned theology and spirituality, and Orthodox-Protestant dialogue.
Liebe und Chaos: Eine historische Liebeskomödie voller Chaos, Charme und schottischem Temperament
by Jan Coffey May McGoldrickIn der großen Halle des Fleet Towers herrscht reges Treiben. Die McCalls bereiten sich auf eine Hochzeit vor und wenn das unerwartete Gäste, Mord, Chaos und Verwirrung bedeutet, umso besser, in dieser "Komödie zum Totlachen". Versuchen Sie mal zu heiraten, wenn Ihre Verlobte einen Eisentopf mit tödlicher Präzision schwingen kann, ihr verrückter Onkel sich für William Wallace hält und ihre beiden Tanten keinen Satz - oder einen Gedanken - zu Ende bringen können... Das sind Sir Iain Armstrongs Probleme, als er Lady Marion heiraten will, ein vom Kloster erzogener Hitzkopf. Iain will nur den Wunsch ihrer Väter erfüllen, zwei königliche Höfe besänftigen und das Beste für die Zukunft Schottlands tun, indem er allen Unruhen in seinem Teil der Borders ein Ende setzt. Sie muss nur noch zustimmen, ihn zu heiraten, was das Letzte ist, woran sie denkt, als Iain im Kloster ankommt. Sie wird sich nicht kampflos geschlagen geben. Und selbst wenn Lady Marion erkennt, dass Iain ein Mann mit Mut, Intelligenz und verführerisch starken Schultern ist, wird ihre exzentrische Familie das tun, was ihre Wutanfälle, ihr Eigensinn und ihr Stolz bisher nicht geschafft haben - und ihn für immer vertreiben?
From Text to Performance: Narrative and Performance Criticisms in Dialogue and Debate
by Edited by Kelly R. IversonFor the last two centuries, biblical interpretation has been guided by perspectives that have largely ignored the oral context in which the gospels took shape. Only recently have scholars begun to explore how ancient media inform the interpretive process and offer an understanding of the Bible. The contributors to From Text to Performance recognise that the Jesus tradition was a story heard and performed, and seek to re-evaluate the constituent elements of narrative, including characters, structure, narrator, time, and intertextuality, within this performative context. In dialogue with traditional literary approaches, these essays demonstrate that an appreciation of performance yields fresh insights distinguishable in many respects from results of literary or narrative readings of the gospels.
God, the Moon and the Astronaut
by Jacques Arnould‘A cloth spread under an apple tree can catch only apples’, wrote Antoine de SaintExupéry in Terre des hommes (Land of Men), (English title: Wind, Sand and Stars), ‘and a cloth spread under stars can catch only stardust . . . What was most marvelous was that, there, standing on the planet’s rounded back, between this magnetic cloth and those stars, was a man’s consciousness in which that star-fall could be reflected as in a mirror.’ And a few pages further on he writes: ‘I was but a mere mortal lost between sand and stars, aware simply of the sweet pleasure of breathing.’
A Dream That Interprets Itself
by Otto RankSigmund Freud hired Otto Rank as his secretary and funded Rank's PhD in literature at the University of Vienna. In 1910, at age 26, Rank published 'A Dream That Interprets Itself'. Freud could not praise the essay highly enough; impressed by Rank's erudition, Freud invited his protege to contribute two chapters, on poetry and myth, in 1914 to The Interpretation of Dreams. Thereafter, Rank's name would appear under Freud's on the title page of the foundational text of psychoanalysis for the next fifteen years. Grateful for Freud's generosity, Rank published a stream of articles and books advancing psychoanalytic thinking into almost every area of the arts and humanities, thus demonstrating to Freud's critics that the validity of psychoanalysis did not hinge solely on his autobiographical work The Interpretation of Dreams. Rank died in 1939 and his work fell out of favor until a renaissance of interest beginning in the 1970s. This is the first English translation of Rank's masterpiece of dream interpretation, originally published in 1910 as "Ein Traum, der sich selbst deutet" in the journal Jahrbuch fur Psychoanalytische und Psychopathologische Forschungen, 2(2): 465-540. It is accompanied by an in-depth introduction from editor Robert Kramer, the world's only Rankian psychologist. The book is essential reading for all psychoanalytic scholars, practitioners, and historians, and those interested in dream analysis.
From Morality to Mayhem: The Fall and Rise of the English School Story
by Julian LovelockThe stories we read as children are the ones that stay with us the longest, and from the nineteenth century until the 1950s stories about schools held a particular fascination. Many will remember the goings-on at such earnest establishments as Tom Brown's Rugby, St Dominic's, Greyfriars, the Chalet School, Malory Towers and Linbury Court. In the second part of the twentieth century, with more liberal social attitudes and the advent of secondary education for all, these moral tales lost their appeal and the school story very nearly died out. More recently, however, a new generation of compromised schoolboy and schoolgirl heroes - Pennington, Tyke Tiler, Harry Potter and Millie Roads - have given it a new and challenging relevance. Focusing mainly on novels written for young people, From Morality to Mayhem charts the fall and rise of the school story, from the grim accounts of Victorian times to the magic and mayhem of our own age. In doing so it considers how fictional schools not only reflect but sometimes influence real life. This captivating study will appeal to those interested in children's literature and education, both students and the general reader, taking us on a not altogether comfortable trip down memory lane.
