The Catholic University of America Press The Light of Christ An Introduction to
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIn 1968 Joseph Ratzinger published his great Introduction to Christianity. While rarely equaled, 50 years later it does have a worthy popular successor. The Light of Christ combines scholarly depth with an engaging style to present the what and why of Catholic belief with exceptional clarity and grace. In walking the reader persuasively through the faith that generations of Christians have sought to witness, Fr. White has done a service not just for the believing community but for any intelligent adult seeking a path to God.""- Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia;""Thomas Joseph White is one of the brightest and most articulate theologians writing today. This book is an intelligent and spiritually alert introduction to the principal themes of Catholic theology. Both beginners and serious academics will find much to savor in its pages.""- Bishop Robert Barron, author of The Priority of Christ: Toward a Postliberal Catholicism;""One of America's leading young theologians offers a challenging, bracing, and comprehensive introduction to the mind of the Catholic Church—and doesn't neglect the Catholic heart in the process. The perfect evangelical gift for the skeptical or inquisitive young intellectual who wants to know what Catholics really think and believe, and why.""- George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center

Baker Publishing Group Passions of the Christ – The Emotional Life of
Book SynopsisSenior New Testament scholar F. Scott Spencer focuses on a neglected area in the study of Jesus and the Gospels: the emotional life of Jesus. This book offers a fresh reading of the Gospels through the lens of Jesus's emotions--anger, grief, disgust, surprise, compassion, and joy. These emotions motivate Jesus's mission and reveal to Gospel readers what matters most to him. Amid his passions, Jesus forges his character as God's incarnate Messiah, wholly embodied and emotionally engaged with others and thoroughly embedded in the surrounding environment.Table of ContentsContentsPart 1: Mission Im/passible: Theory and Theology1.

No book has more explicitly and movingly described the Christian ideal: My son, to the degree that you can leave yourself behind, to that degree will you be able to enter into Me.

Pennsylvania State University Press Son of God: Divine Sonship in Jewish and
Book SynopsisIn antiquity, “son of god”—meaning a ruler designated by the gods to carry out their will—was a title used by the Roman emperor Augustus and his successors as a way to reinforce their divinely appointed status. But this title was also used by early Christians to speak about Jesus, borrowing the idiom from Israelite and early Jewish discourses on monarchy. This interdisciplinary volume explores what it means to be God’s son(s) in ancient Jewish and early Christian literature. Through close readings of relevant texts from multiple ancient corpora, including the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Greco-Roman texts and inscriptions, early Christian and Islamic texts, and apocalyptic literature, the chapters in this volume engage a range of issues including messianism, deification, eschatological figures, Jesus, interreligious polemics, and the Roman and Jewish backgrounds of early Christianity and the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The essays in this collection demonstrate that divine sonship is an ideal prism through which to better understand the deep interrelationship of ancient religions and their politics of kingship and divinity. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Richard Bauckham, Max Botner, George J. Brooke, Jan Joosten, Menahem Kister, Reinhard Kratz, Mateusz Kusio, Michael A. Lyons, Matthew V. Novenson, Michael Peppard, Sarah Whittle, and N. T.

Book SynopsisOne of the best-loved books of Christianity after the Bible, now in a new translation A passionate celebration of God and his love, mercy, and holiness, The Imitation of Christ has inspired conversion and stimulated religious devotion for more than five hundred years. With great personal conviction, the medieval monk Thomas à Kempis demonstrates the individual’s reliance on God and on the words of Christ, and the futility of life without faith.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history anTrade ReviewIf a man tells you that he is fond of the Imitation, view him with sudden suspicion; he is either a dabbler or a saint...Heaven help us if we find easy reading in the Imitation of Christ -- Ronald KnoxNone, I believe, except the Bible, has been so universally read and loved by Christians of all tongues and sects -- Thomas CarlyleThe most influential devotional book in Western Christian history -- Professor John van Engen

Send The Light The Unique and Universal Christ: Jesus in a
Book SynopsisAn examination of the uniqueness and universality of Jesus Christ and what this might mean in today's plural world. These days there are tremendous pressures on Christians to conform to a libertarian vision of a multifaith society where no one makes truth-claims about their faith. In such a situation, Christians need to think afresh about the uniqueness and universality of Jesus Christ and what this might mean in today's plural world. In this book, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali shows how Jesus' understanding of himself and his work bears on contemporary cultures and their values: what does the gospel affirm, what does it fulfil and what does it challenge? How does our understanding of the crucified and risen Lord affect our view of the human condition? How can we evaluate the different religious traditions of the world in the light of Christ? How can we be welcoming and hospitable but also committed to that conversion and transformation of individuals and of human societies which has been revealed as God's purpose in Christ? Christian claims of uniqueness have a direct bearing on what informs the social order. This book tackles the challenge of relativism in the contemporary social and political arena head-on.

In this book he goes right to the heart of human identity with clarity, courage, and grace. It's a life-changing message." Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer International and Emmaus Rd, Guildford"This is a must-read book for all disciples, young and old. Don't waste time; this book with change everything!" Rob Peabody, founder of Vomo and the Awaken Movement"We all act according to our views of who we think we are, whether those views are accurate or not. This great book helps settle the most important questions in life, so we can get on with living it to the full." Anthony Delaney, leader, Ivy Network"This is a truly brilliant book. You will find it encouraging, challenging, and wonderful. It will help you be all you can in Jesus." Gavin Calver, director for mission (England), Evangelical Alliance"What if we knew What God Knows About Us? is a terrific read. The powerful reminder that who we are in Christ shapes our identity, purpose, place and significance is vital in a society that devalues people so often, or gives us worth because of what we have or what we do. With the skilful eye of a good theologian and the loving heart of a pastor, Cris Rogers tells us a better story about ourselves. He draws us back to the reality of who we are in Christ and helps us understand that what God has done for us is the fundamental building block of a life well lived. If you or someone you know struggles with self-image and low self-esteem then this book will help. Let its truths enable you to wipe away the dirt on the mirror of your self-understanding that have been placed there by others so you can see yourself clearly and understand how much you are loved, and how valuable and powerful you can be in God's hands."

University of Pennsylvania Press The Bride of Christ Goes to Hell
Book SynopsisThe early Christian writer Tertullian first applied the epithet bride of Christ to the uppity virgins of Carthage as a means of enforcing female obedience. Henceforth, the virgin as Christ''s spouse was expected to manifest matronly modesty and due submission, hobbling virginity''s ancient capacity to destabilize gender roles. In the early Middle Ages, the focus on virginity and the attendant anxiety over its possible loss reinforced the emphasis on claustration in female religious communities, while also profoundly disparaging the nonvirginal members of a given community.With the rising importance of intentionality in determining a person''s spiritual profile in the high Middle Ages, the title of bride could be applied and appropriated to laywomen who were nonvirgins as well. Such instances of democratization coincided with the rise of bridal mysticism and a progressive somatization of female spirituality. These factors helped cultivate an increasingly literal and eroticized Trade Review"A dazzling book . . . As Elliott persuasively argues, the seeming elevation of the religious woman as a bride of Christ also raised the specter of her potential faithlessness: the bride was held to be permanently at risk of falling into the arms of the wrong lover, whether human or, worse, demonic. By the later Middle Ages, the bride of Christ was on a downward trajectory . . . As Elliott so convincingly shows, the virgin bride was a dangerous identification for women from the very outset: the virgin, seemingly elevated as Christ's bride, had nowhere to go but down." * Church History *"Elliott's work provides an excellent overview of both the metaphorical and literal bride of Christ who undoubtedly played a central role in the evolution of Christianity . . . Despite the dark overtones implicit in Elliott's brilliant title and argument, this book is a must read for those interested in religious or gender history of the Middle Ages." * Comitatus *"Elliott's historiographical account is an illuminating one. Her command of primary source material, and sensitivity to theories of corporeality, comingle in a compelling work of cultural history. Incorporating biblical commentaries, hagiographies, treatises, sermons, natural philosophy, chronicles, inquisitorial documents, and secular literature, Elliott weaves the particularities of heterogeneous historic moments and theological positions into a continuous narrative . . . Elliott shows convincingly that not all ideals, even religious ones, should be incarnated." * Anglican and Episcopal History *"This provocative, meticulously documented text analyzes a wide range of familiar and lesser-known medieval authors on an important topic . . . the journey is engaging and instructive."" * Catholic Historical Review *"This is a great book, with an overarching design, a bold and provocative argument, and a sweeping narrative, fashioned with a penetrating look and written in a reassuringly smart, witty voice." * Gábor Klaniczay, Central European University *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

University of Toronto Press The Stoic Origins of Erasmus Philosophy of Christ
Book SynopsisThis original and provocative engagement with Erasmus’ work argues that the Dutch humanist discovered in classical Stoicism several principles which he developed into a paradigm-shifting application of Stoicism to Christianity. Ross Dealy offers novel readings of some lesser and well-known Erasmian texts and presents a detailed discussion of the reception of Stoicism in the Renaissance. In a considered interpretation of Erasmus’ De taedio Iesu, Dealy clearly shows the two-dimensional Stoic elements in Erasmus’ thought from an early time onward. Erasmus’ genuinely philosophical disposition is evidenced in an analysis of his edition of Cicero’s De officiis. Building on stoicism Erasmus shows that Christ’s suffering in Gethsemane was not about the triumph of spirit over flesh but about the simultaneous workings of two opposite but equally essential types of value: on the one side spirit and on the other involuntary and intractableTrade Review‘This meticulous study of 16th century thinking can be dense, but the picture of Erasmus that emerges will prove worth the effort.’ -- D.A. Brown * Choice Magazine vol 55:01:2017 *"The Stoic Origins of Erasmus’ Philosophy of Christ contains many interesting ideas, which Dealy presents in an engaging way and is a welcome addition to the literature. " -- George Lazaroiu * Sixteenth Century Journal vol. 49, no. 1 2018 *"The Stoic Origins of Erasmus’ Philosophy of Christ is a challenging and thought-provoking book. It is a book that goes to the heart of the philosophical subject matter that is everywhere apparent in Erasmus’s writings, but hardly ever studied in serious ways." -- Han van Ruler, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam * Renaissance Quarterly, vol 71 4, Winter 2018 *"The Stoic Origins of Erasmus’ Philosophy of Christ makes an important contribution to Erasmus scholarship through a close reading of two of Erasmus’ early works that are rarely considered alongside one another, the De taedio Iesu and the Enchiridion, in an attempt to trace their considerable Stoic elements."v -- Kirk Essary, University of Western Australia * Erasmus Studies, vol 39 *Table of ContentsPreface Abbreviations Introduction A Philosophy Beneath The Rhetoric Part I The Fifteenth-Century Background Part Ii Erasmus' Two-Dimensional Stoicism Part Iii Stoic Natural Instinct and Christ's Fear of Death, De Taedio Iesu Part Iv Larger Philosophical Issues Part V Correcting a Thousand Years of Christology Part Vi Beyond Devotionalist Assumptions Part Vii Spiritual Warfare Conclusion Bibliography Index
