York Medieval Press Saints' Legends in Medieval Sarum Breviaries:
Book SynopsisComprehensive catalogue of the hagiographical lessons in Sarum breviaries, with key studies of the most crucial elements. Sarum Use was the most widely used form of the liturgy in late medieval England, but its service books were much less standardized than their modern counterparts. The lack of uniformity is particularly marked in Sarum breviaries' lessons on saints, which can vary enormously from copy to copy. This book is the first comprehensive examination of those lessons and the manuscripts that preserve them. It provides a catalogue of over 80 manuscripts and 12 early printed versions, giving a brief description of each one, sometimes correcting previous views of its date and provenance, and identifying each copy's divergences from the standard Sarum roster of saints. The book also identifies the textual families into which the manuscripts fall and the extent of their divergence from the lessons in both the early printed versions and the inadequate nineteenth-century edition on which modern scholars have previously depended. The author's findings offer an introduction to the unexpectedly rich variety of hagiographical lessons that survive, identify some of the sources behind them, and shed new light on the ways in which the Sarum breviary developed and was disseminated in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.Table of ContentsIntroduction Part One. Catalogue of the manuscripts and early printed editions Part Two. Three studies A. Key findings on the major textual families B. 'Extra' texts for saints in some manuscripts C.

Collective Ink Other Communions of Jesus
Book SynopsisIn this book John Henson suggests that by basing our practice and understanding of "communion" on the event of the Last Supper we have ignored those other occasions when Jesus ate and drank with the people of his day, with the result that we have reversed the intentions of Jesus. Instead of the meal being an invitation to inclusion, the churches have used it as a means of exclusion; instead of the "beanfeast of the Kingdom" it has become a gathering around the cenotaph. In these studies Christians are challenged to return to the mind of Jesus by allowing all the evidence of the gospels to be put into the balance. Although the author's prime purpose is devotional, there are revolutionary implications. Should the churches take the contents of this book seriously, communion will never be the same again.

Collective Ink Peace Prayers – From the World`s Faiths
Book SynopsisReligions contribute to wars, but they can also contribute to peace. They are its necessary foundation. Here eight different religions join together in peace to pray for peace. Under the auspices of the interfaith organization, The Week of Prayer for World Peace, they bring home vividly the love that is God and the horror that is war. It is not only inner peace - tranquility of soul and mind - which is being sought here, but an end to agony and bloodshed, physical and psychological torture, abuse of every kind taking place in the world of men, women and children. This is a very practical prayer book, earthed in the pain of being human. Peace itself comes in many different forms, and the book is arranged to be flexible and comprehensive, ideal for individual or group use. It consists of seven weeks of prayer, each of which contains eight "days" of prayers and intercessions on particular themes connected with the overall theme of "Peace on earth and goodwill towards mankind".

Collective Ink Celtic Wheel of the Year
Book SynopsisThe "Celtic Wheel of the Year" offers an original and inspiring selection of prayers for individual use. Divided into monthly sections, it incorporates Celtic Christian and Celtic Pagan traditions in a single pattern of prayer. Prayers combine the Christian seasons with the seasons of the Solstices and Equinoxes. But they also reach beyond both traditions, dancing together and finding a new way of worshipping; one that we can enjoy in private spirituality or as a partaker of established religion.Trade ReviewTess Ward has written a spiritual handbook full of wisdom, grace and creativity. It dips into the deep wells of Celtic tradition and beyond to gather the clear water of life. This is a book of prayer to be treasured. Mike Riddell, author of The Sacred Journey and Godzone Tess Ward writes like a mystic. Deeply immersed in nature, embedded in folklore, poetic in word and vivid in the images evoked, both the introductory material for each month and the accompanying prayers awaken deep sentiment and the soulful realisation that we are always within the divine embrace in which we live and move and have our being. A gem for all seasons! Diarmuid O'Murchu MSC In an age of global warming and increasing ecological vulnerability, the only viable spiritualities are those which re-connect us to the earth and deepen our sense of connection with the divine spirit that enlivens it. Tess Ward's book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking such a spirituality. Her prayers and reflections offer a creative synthesis of Christian symbols and other nature-based traditions, and the structure of the book reminds us of the sacred qualities of the passing seasons. For anyone looking for a livelier, embodied and grounded faith, Tess Ward offers an important, hopeful and refreshing way forward. Dr. Gordon Lynch, Dept of Theology and Religion, Birmingham University, author of The New Spirituality "The Celtic Wheel of the Year" is a must read for everyone interested in praying with an ecological awareness. Tess Ward offers refreshing reflections and creative prayers that weave mysticism, feminism, and embodiment with Celtic and Christian spirituality. The earth connection grows stronger with each prayer. Diann L. Neu, codirector of WATER, The Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual, and author of Return Blessings.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Enzyklopädische Probleme der Praktischen
Book SynopsisZur Debatte um enzyklopädische Probleme der Praktischen Theologie steuert Christian Albrecht fünf Studien bei. In ihnen thematisiert er die Aufgabe, die Methode, die Einheit, die Heuristik und die Adressaten der Praktischen Theologie. Dabei erinnern die Studien an einige in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Praktischen Theologie artikulierte Erwägungen, von denen auch in den gegenwärtigen enzyklopädischen Debatten orientierende Leistungen ausgehen können. Die klassischen Überlegungen halten nicht unmittelbare Antworten auf gegenwärtige Fragen bereit, aber sie lassen Gesichtspunkte erkennen, unter denen sich ein vertieftes Verständnis aktueller Problemstellungen gewinnen läßt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) 200 Jahre Praktische Theologie: Fallstudien zur
Book SynopsisDass die Praktische Theologie zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts begründet wurde, entspricht einer weithin geteilten Wahrnehmung. Die Herausgeber dieses Bandes nehmen das 200. Jubiläum anlässlich der Einrichtung der ersten ordentlichen Professur und der Gründung der Predigeranstalt zwischen 1813 und 1815 zum Anlass, der Gründungsgeschichte und den weiteren Entwicklungen der Praktischen Theologie in Tübingen nachzugehen. In Fallstudien, die auch über den lokalen Bezug einer einzelnen Fakultät hinaus von Interesse sein können, fragen die Autoren danach, in welchem Sinne tatsächlich von einer Begründung der Praktischen Theologie im frühen 19. Jahrhundert gesprochen werden kann und wie sich die Geschichte des Faches in den letzten beiden Jahrhunderten rekonstruieren lässt, wenn sie nicht nur von wenigen prominenten Veröffentlichungen her, sondern in ihrer Realgestalt an einer einzelnen Fakultät geschrieben wird.
