Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Sketches of Saints Known & Unknown
Book SynopsisIt has been said that this human birth is God''s greatest gift to us. Most of us hardy ever stop to assess the true value of this precious gift. Perhaps many of us are apt to imagine that we are leading busy, full lives, making the best possible use of God''s rare gift. Have you ever paused to ask yourself the question, Is my life truly rewarding, fulfilling and satisfying? Am I living the Life Beautiful? If this question has crossed your mind even once, you are sure to draw inspiration and spiritual sustenance from Dada J P Vaswani''s captivating account of the Lives of Saints. Dada''s profound admiration, love and reverence for these great souls transcends all narrow boundaries of race, nationality: caste, creed and community. Thus he writes with equal respect for Sadhvi Vasuki and Mother Teresa; Adi Shankara comes alive in these pages as does Father Damien; Albert Schweitzer is featured here, as is Hasan Darvesh; you will also get to learn about less well known men and women, who, in Sadhu Vaswani''s words, lived a hidden life in the Hidden One. Most moving among them all, is Dada''s memorable account of the life and teachings of his own Gurudev, Sadhu Vaswani. Open the book and start reading from any page -- you will find yourself blessed, inspired and rejuvenated.

Museum Tusculanum Press Rites of Ordination & Commitment in the Churches
Book SynopsisA unique situation exists in the Nordic countries where there is a Lutheran majority living in ecumenical cooperation with other churches and ecclesiastical communities. This book attempts to shed light on what the churches have discovered they hold in common and on areas where they recognise that there are divergencies between them, both in relation to ordination and ministry, and in particular to the theology and terminology of ordination. The book brings together the research and insights of 23 researchers from all the Nordic countries studying more than 200 different kinds of ''ordination'' rites from the Orthodox and Roman Catholic as well as Lutheran and non-Lutheran protestant traditions. After an introduction to the churches in the Nordic countries, the book presents 19 case studies from the Nordic countries. The last part includes some general ecumenical and liturgical perspectives on ordination and rites presented by international researchers.

Museum Tusculanum Press Canon & Canonicity: The Formation & Use of
Book SynopsisThe authority of the Bible is one of the defining features of Christianity. However, the origins of the Biblical canon, both as an idea and as a composition still pose many unresolved questions and the nature of the bible''s authority, including the many ways in which that authority has been tapped throughout history, are important and vast areas of investigation. The essays in this book discuss such crucial issues as the history of the formation of the biblical canon, examples of the canonisation of books in Antiquity outside Christianity, and the nature and function of canonical texts in general. Several essays, furthermore, deal with the numerous ways in which biblical canonicity has been construed and utilised in more recent European history. The essays, written by specialists in religious studies, ancient history, classical philology, church history and literary theory, should be of great interest to students, scholars and general readers concerned with scriptural and literary canon formation.

Museum Tusculanum Press A Female Legendary from Iceland: Kirkjubjarbk
Book SynopsisBook & CD-ROM. The manuscript AM 429 12mo was written c. 1500 for the use of the nuns at the Benedictine monastery Kirkjubær in southern Iceland, from which it derives its name, Kirkjubæjarbók. The book was probably made in the nearby Augustine monastery, þykkvibær. It comprises ten texts that were translations of Latin legends based on female saints, relating their terrible suffering and later martyrdom. The majority of the female saints were among the most venerated in Iceland. The manuscript is beautifully illustrated, making it unique in an Icelandic context, which may explain why it survived the Reformation. The text is reproduced in a diplomatic version, which on the CD-ROM is accompanied by a normalised version as well as the Latin texts.

Museum Tusculanum Press Den ældste kristendoms historie
Book SynopsisThe history of the earliest Christianity has only been made the object of a coherent account a few times. One will often find descriptions of the New Testament period, that is, the political, cultural, social and religious conditions that prevailed when Christianity arose among the Jews and spread to the Greco-Roman world. There are also numerous accounts of the ancient history of Judaism and of Greek and Roman history. But there are surprisingly few accounts of the history of the earliest Christianity itself in the course of its time. And yet, Christianity has been of historical dimensions from the very beginning. The book demonstrates historical connections between ancient Judaism and the earliest Christianity. It describes the history of Christianity as a dynamic development and gives a better understanding of Christianity and its beginning. The book covers the entire historical course during the period from 200 BC to 150 AD when Christianity came into and became part of the Greco-Roman civilisation.

Book SynopsisExamining the clash between Roman religion and Christianity in Antiquity, and juxtaposing this with some of the cultural and religious conflicts currently unfolding in Europe, the author draws attention to interesting parallels linking religion, identity, and the construction of religious enemy images -- and running across the fabric of time. Here she explores a number of issues in multicultural Europe, past and present. These include cultural encounters and the concepts of religio and superstitio; infighting and propagandising amongst emperors, philosophers, and church fathers; miracle rivalry and martyrdom; ancient Romanisation and modern globalisation; religious pluralism and universal values; freedom of religion and liberal democracies; and secularism and the European fear factor.

Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij Sublime Light on the Turin Shroud: The true
Book SynopsisIn April 1988, the Vatican authorities provided a small sample of the Turin Shroud for carbon-14 dating of the alleged burial cloth of Jesus Christ. In October of the same year, coordinator Michael S. Tite presented the conclusion of the university labs of Oxford, Zurich and Tuscon (Arizona) to the entire world press: the miraculous imprint of Jesus'' resurrected body on the shroud dated to 1260-1390 CE... Even if we accept that the Turin Shroud indeed is a cloth from the 13th or 14th century, does this answer all the questions raised before the radiocarbon dating? Judging by the countless publications that have appeared in the scientificand the popular press since, nobody seems to have managed so far. This book reveals the true origin of this medieval relic. The so called ''believers'' recognise in the apectacular image instantly the ''stamp'' of the Miracle Worker from Galilee, but was it not Jesus himself who denied the unique character of his miracles? Indeed, ''Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do.'' (John 14:12). The Turin Shroud was ''fabricated'' in the 13th or 14th century. Yet, not by a smart swindler, but by an ''enlightened'' individual who had ''ears to hear'' (Mark 4:23)...
