SCM Press Do this in Remembrance of Me
Book SynopsisA comprehensive study on the history and theology of the Eucharist. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate theology students, clergy and theologically literate laity.Trade Review“Bryan Spinks’s book is an outstanding new manual on the historical development of the Eucharist. It is excellent not only because it connects liturgical texts and rituals with Eucharistic theologies, but also because of its wide range, varying from the New Testament data to current practice in East and West; from the early Anaphoras to present-day Dutch Table Prayers and internet liturgies; and from the ancient Ethio-Eritrean tradition to contemporaneous Pentecostalism. Bryan Spinks displays great scholarship, investigating the primary sources in many regions, languages, and eras. This will be a ‘classic’, a standard work on Eucharistic liturgies and theologies for many years to come.” -- Prof. Dr. Basilius J. Groen

The Crown Publishing Group The Way of a Pilgrim The Pilgrim continues His
Book SynopsisThis enduring work of Russian spirituality has charmed countless people with its tale of a nineteenth-century peasant's quest for the secret of prayer. Readers follow this anonymous pilgrim as he treks over the Steppes in search of the answer to the one compelling question: How does one pray constantly? Through his journeys, and under the tutelage of a spiritual father, he becomes gradually more open to the promptings of God, and sees joy and plenty wherever he goes. Ultimately, he discovers the different meanings and methods of prayer as he travels to his ultimate destination, Jerusalem.The Way of a Pilgrim is a humble story ripe for renewed appreciation today. The recent changes in Russia have revealed the great religious traditions of that land, and this work, freshly translated for modern times, is among the finest examples of those centuries-old traditions.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Great High Priest The Temple Roots of Christian Liturgy
Book SynopsisWhereas most scholarship has concentrated upon the synagogue, Margaret Barker's work on the Jerusalem temple contributes to our understanding of the meaning and importance of many elements of Christian liturgy which have hitherto remained obscure. This book opens up a new field of research.Trade Review"Not only scholars but also students and clergy will benefit from reading Margaret Barker's fascinating book." --Bernhard Lang"This book will surely fascinate and convince many readers." --Robert Murray SJ‘This is a scholarly work written for those who have either a professional interest in the development of early Christian liturgy or are serious non-professionals. As far as the latter are concerned, they will need to apply themselves to the text with great diligence as a considerable amount of information is conveyed on every page and much of it will probably be new. But diligence will have its reward.' -- thegoodbookstall.org.uk'...fascinating to read some Bible study done by the Methodist scholar Margaret Barker, developed in The Great High Priest: The Temple Roots of the Christian Liturgy...Without accepting everything Dr Barker says (for she is celebrated as a maverick), it is enlightening to look at the Eucharist in relation to the Jewish Day of Atonement, rather than to the Passover as usual. -- Christopher Howse * Daily Telegraph, The *Table of ContentsPreface; 1 The Secret Tradition; 2 The Time is Fulfilled: Jesus and the Jubilee; 3 Atonement: The Rite of Healing; 4 Parousia and Liturgy; 5 The Temple Roots of Christian Liturgy; 6 The Angel Priesthood; 7 The Holy of Holies; 8 Beyond the Veil of the Temple: The High Priestly Origin of the Apocalypses; 9 The Veil as the Boundary; 10 Wisdom: The Queen of Heaven; 11 Temple and Timaeus; 12 Text and Context
