SteinerBooks, Inc Sacramental Theology for a Modern and Future
Book Synopsis'What Christ Jesus taught is not what is most important, but rather what he has given humanity. His resurrection is the birth of a new faculty within human nature.' -- Rudolf SteinerIn this book experienced Christian Community priest and teacher, Michael Debus, helps readers to understand the heart of religious consciousness and practical life -- the sacraments. He does so by exploring the following questions and more: -- Is baptism merely a symbolic act, or is it a reality that affects one's life? -- How should we understand the transformation of bread and wine? -- How can rituals express spiritual realities?Debus makes these complex concepts accessible to anyone who wants to understand the background and sacraments of The Christian Community. He also weaves together a discussion of historical theological developments with the evolution of consciousness. This is an insightful book for readers looking to understand the spiritual foundations of The Christian Community and its place in theological history, and its role in Christianity today.

Pennsylvania State University Press Pietism and the Sacraments The Life and Theology
Book SynopsisExplores the religious life and religious thought of early modern German Lutheran August Hermann Francke from his theology of the sacraments. Provides insights into his conversion theology and the structure of his Pietist thought. Trade Review“This study further illumines Francke’s distinctive role in shaping Pietist theology and practice.”—W. L. Pitts Jr. Choice“This is a most welcome addition to the study of the life and thought of one of the German architects of Pietism, August Hermann Francke (1663-1727).”—Andreas Loewe Journal of Ecclesiastical History“Protestantism in the eighteenth century was developing and changing, but was this because of Francke, or was his nuanced understanding of the church and sacraments ignored? This work finally does not fully answer this question, but wisely leaves it for others to explore. Whether in the end you come down for or against Francke (or somewhere in the middle), this volume makes important contributions to our understanding of him, of Lutheran pietism, and of the course of modern Protestantism.”—Mark Granquist Lutheran Quarterly“This book offers a window into the theological innovations of the early modern era while providing crucial insights into Francke’s thought and theology. Thanks to the depth of Yoder’s research and analysis, this study makes an important contribution to the field.”—Darin D. Lenz Religious Studies Review“Yoder sensitively weaves Francke’s sacramental theology into his larger doctrinal structure, set within the biographical contours that surrounded Francke’s application of his inheritance from Luther and others in the crucible of pastoral care. A stimulating and provocative advance in understanding Pietism.”—Robert Kolb,author of Martin Luther: Confessor of the Faith “In this imaginative exploration of the works of August Hermann Francke, Peter Yoder opens up significant new areas for discussion in the understanding of the relationship between God’s Word and personal conversion and faith in Pietist circles. This illuminating assessment is bound to provoke discussion and fresh research on Francke himself as well as on the impact of Pietist thinking on the rapidly changing eighteenth-century religious scene.”—Irene Dingel,author of Reformation: Zentren – Akteure – Ereignisse“Peter Yoder has provided an important analysis of two long-neglected dimensions of August Hermann Francke’s version of German Pietism. Francke’s affinity for a version of Reformed convictions about both sacraments and ‘church’ moved both the man and the varieties of Pietism associated with him into post-confessional Protestantism within and especially beyond Europe.”—A. G. Roeber,author of Hopes for Better Spouses: Protestant Marriage and Church Renewal in Early Modern Europe, India, and North America“This close study of August Hermann Francke's theology is the first anglophone book on Francke in generations, and it is sure to become the new standard text on Francke and Halle Pietism. Yoder’s book offers an accessible introduction to Francke and Pietism that will also be rewarding for subject matter experts.”—Benjamin Marschke,author of Absolutely Pietist: Patronage, Factionalism, and State-Building in the Early Eighteenth-Century Prussian Army Chaplaincy“Yoder has clearly laid out the key components of Francke's sacramental theology in a manner that will prove immensely helpful for students and researchers seeking a fuller picture of early Pietist thought and practice.”—Lane E.

The Catholic University of America Press General Principles of Sacramental Theology
Book SynopsisAddresses a current lacuna in English-language theological literature. Rather than deconstruct the Church's tradition, Roger Nutt offers a vibrant presentation of principles as a sound foundation for a renewed appreciation of each of the seven sacraments in the Christian life as the divinely willed means of communion and friendship between God and humanity.Trade Review“This book will help priests and laity alike to gain a fuller understanding of the worth and power of the sacraments. Prof. Nutt helps to move the conversation about the sacraments forward in a much-needed way in our day.” —Paul Keller, OP, The Athenaeum of Ohio

Collective Ink Nature's Sacrament: The Epic of Evolution and a
Book SynopsisIn a sacramental ecology, divine grace is to be found in the evolutionary emergence of life. The ‘Epic of Evolution’ is the scientific story that reveals that we live in an approximately 14 billion year old universe on a planet that is approximately 4.6 billion years old and that we are a part of the ongoing process of life that has existed on Earth for roughly 4 billion years. Nature's Sacrament focuses on the religious and ecological significance of the evolutionary epic in an effort to seamlessly connect the ecological value attributed as a part of an understanding of the evolutionary connectedness of life on Earth, with the Divine grace understood to be present in Christian sacramental worship. David C. McDuffie is a faculty member in the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where his primary teaching schedule includes courses in World Religions, Religion in America, Christian History, Religion and Environment, and Religion and Politics. Broadly, his research and teaching interests involve the subject area of Religion and Culture, which includes but is not limited to the relationships between religion and politics, science, and health care. This is his first book.

University of Notre Dame Press Water and the Word Volume I
Book SynopsisWater and the Word focuses on a genre of literature written for the education of the Carolingian clergy: Carolingian baptismal instructions. This literature has never been brought together and studied collectively in the context of the books in which it circulated. As a corpus, read in comparison to one another, the baptismal tracts tell how baptism was celebrated and interpreted across Carolingian Europe. At the same time, in their manuscript context, they are an important new source of information regarding the nature and the success of the Carolingian Reform to educate the clergy.This comprehensive study has three major objectives. One is to describe the codices in which the baptismal instructions are found, in order to show what other kinds of material the baptismal tracts were associated with and to show where, how, and by whom these codices were intended to be used. Another is to bring together the baptismal texts and study them systematically. Finally, a thirdTrade Review"Most Carolingian texts, so we are taught, are in print, if sometimes in inadequate editions. The proper task of the Carolingian historian is the study of elites and cultural identity, as defined by written culture. Just as the columns of the Acta Sanctorum remind us of texts Carolingian historians take pride in ignoring, so Susan Keefe's two impressive volumes serve as a reminder that there are plenty of texts still to be edited and understood. By investigating Carolingian interpretations of how people were made Christians she may be contributing more to our understanding of their cultural identity than her contemporaries, but she is far too modest to say so. . . . Outstanding in this study is Susan Keefe's recognition that our best clues to the function of these texts in the Carolingian empire are found via an examination of the manuscript context in which her texts circulate. So there are detailed descriptions of all of fifty-nine Carolingian manuscripts . . . together with a full listing of all the later manuscript witnesses which she has found for these texts. They were texts that every priest was required to know, so that the manuscripts are essential guides to clerical culture and the range of instructional texts through which the Carolingian reforms were realised. . . . Water and the Word will still be an essential tool an hundred years hence." —Journal of Ecclesiastical History

University of Notre Dame Press The Eucharistic Form of God
Book SynopsisTrade Review“The Eucharistic Form of God fills a large gap in Balthasar scholarship by attending so comprehensively to Balthasar’s eucharistic theology and showing how it has an integrative place within the whole of his theology. A masterful and valuable work!” —Matthew Levering, author of The Achievement of Hans Urs von Balthasar“The Eucharistic Form of God represents a major contribution to scholarship on Hans Urs von Balthasar and Catholic sacramental theology.” —Nicholas J. Healy, author of The Eschatology of Hans Urs von Balthasar"For Balthasar, the Eucharist is Christ's thanksgiving to the Father in heaven for having given Him the gift of giving Himself for all. Ciraulo shows in a convincing way that this eternal thanksgiving is given to us as God's most precious gift that moves us toward fulfillment in heaven." —Fr Jacques Servais, SJ, director of the Casa Balthasar"This profoundly penetrating study on a pivotal aspect of Balthasar’s theology has been extensively footnoted and seems intended for well-grounded theologians. It could be appropriately employed in a graduate seminar, or an advanced class at a seminary, on modern theology." —American Academy of Religion"This fine book, by a most promising young scholar, is not only intellectually rewarding, it is prayerfully pondered—from cover to cover." —AmericaTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Abbreviations 1.

University Press of America The Laying on of Hands in the New Testament
Book SynopsisThis study investigates the procedural techniques, significance, and the tangible effects of the laying on of hands in the New Testament. The author investigates the background of the New Testament practice by conducting investigation in the Old Testament and contemporary Judaism and the Graeco-Roman and Near-Eastern literature. The main chapters are exegetical, each discussing a particular use of the laying on of hands in the New Testament: for blessing, healing, reception of the Spirit and ordination. A special attention is given to the inner process of transfer of power through physical contact. It is the author''s conclusion that in the New Testament the gesture always signifies transfer of some positive materia: blessing, ''life-force'', the Spirit and charismata. In the final section, an attempt is made to gauge the possibility of any uniformity in the significance of the various New Testament uses of the laying on of hands.Trade ReviewJohn Tipei deals in a careful and historically-sensitive manner with a wide range of evidence for the practice of the laying-on of hands in biblical and post-biblical Jewish literature and in the Graeco-Roman world. Within this framework, he is able toconsider the New Testament material dispassionately and in detail, asking appropriate theological questions about the significance of the practice in Christian tradition, but without seeking to press a particular denominational or party line. I know of no other work that does such a thorough job of laying out the biblical evidence within its historical framework, and I believe it will soon become a standard work of reference. -- Rev Canon Professor Dr Loveday Alexander, The University ofJohn Tipei deals in a careful and historically-sensitive manner with a wide range of evidence for the practice of the laying-on of hands in biblical and post-biblical Jewish literature and in the Graeco-Roman world.

University Press of America Medici et medicamenta The Medicine of Penance in
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive historiographical survey on Christian penance and confession from the early sixteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. The author charts the change from medieval practices of penance to the modern rites of penance.Trade ReviewThe questions Molineaux raises are indeed vital, and her curiosity about the influence of Greek and Jewish penitential traditions on those of the Latin west is well-founded….Students interested in the historiography of penance may benefit from consulting the often informative pages of Medici et medicamenta. * Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture *This is an ambitious work by an author whose imagination takes the reader far beyond the late antiquity of her title. Eighteen pages of impressively diverse bibliography place the standard literature familiar to historians of penance in wider contexts…. So it seems ungenerous to criticize a work that provides so many ways to think about penance and accumulates so much information about so many disputed moments in the long history of penance…. Natalie Brigit Molineaux suggests new ways to think about the history of penance and provides an abundance of places to look for answers to the many questions she raises. * The Catholic Historical Review *Table of ContentsPart 1 Foreword by Daniel P. Sheridan Part 2 Preface Part 3 Acknowledgements Part 4 Introduction Part 5 Part One: A Survey of Modern Historiography of Penance (ca. 1500-2000) Part 6 Penance as Construct in the Modern History of Religions Part 7 From Dogmatic History to the History of Dogma (ca. 1520-1920) Part 8 Convergences and New Directions (ca. 1920-2000) Part 9 Paradigms in the New Contemporary Historiography of Penance Part 10 Part Two: A Survey of the Literature of Penance (ca. 1650 B.C.-A.D. 650) Part 11 Penance in Pre-Christian Antiquity Part 12 The Origins of Ritual Penance In Christian Antiquity Part 13 The Transformation of Penance In Late Antiquity Part 14 The Monasticization of Penance (ca. 450-650)
