Book Synopsis Art, Craft, and Theology in Fourth-Century Christian Authors by : Morwenna Ludlow
Download or read book Art, Craft, and Theology in Fourth-Century Christian Authors written by Morwenna Ludlow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient authors commonly compared writing with painting. The sculpting of the soul was also a common philosophical theme. Art, Craft, and Theology in Fourth-Century Christian Authors takes its starting-point from such figures to recover a sense of ancient authorship as craft. The ancient concept of craft (ars, techne) spans 'high' or 'fine' art and practical or applied arts. It unites the beautiful and the useful. It includes both skills or practices (like medicine and music) and productive arts like painting, sculpting and the composition of texts. By using craft as a guiding concept for understanding fourth Christian authorship, this book recovers a sense of them engaged in a shared practice which is both beautiful and theologically useful, which shapes souls but which is also engaged in the production of texts. It focuses on Greek writers, especially the Cappadocians (Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nysa) and John Chrysostom, all of whom were trained in rhetoric. Through a detailed examination of their use of two particular literary techniques—ekphrasis and prosōpopoeia—it shows how they adapt and experiment with them, in order to make theological arguments and in order to evoke a response from their readership.

Book Synopsis The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work by : Jeremy Kidwell
Download or read book The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work written by Jeremy Kidwell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important reconceptualisation is taking place in the way people express creativity, work together, and engage in labour; particularly, suggests Kidwell, a surprising resurgence in recent years of manual and craft work. Noting the wide array of outlets that now market hand-made goods and the array of popular books which advocate ‘making’ as a basis for activism or personal improvement, this book seeks to understand how the micro-politics of craft work might offer insights for a broader theology of work. Why does it matter that we do work which is meaningful, excellent, and beautiful? Through a close reading of Christian scripture, The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work examines the theology and ethics of work in light of original biblical exegesis. Kidwell presents a detailed exegetical study of temple construction accounts in the Hebrew bible and the New Testament. Illuminating a theological account of craft, and employing the ancient vision of ‘good work’ which is preserved in these biblical texts, Kidwell critically interrogates modern forms of industrial manufacture. This includes a variety of contemporary work problems particularly the instrumentalisation and exploitation of the non-human material world and the dehumanisation of workers. Primary themes taken up in the book include agency, aesthetics, sociality, skill, and the material culture of work, culminating with the conclusion that the church (or ‘new temple’) is both the product and the site of moral work. Arguing that Christian worship provides a moral context for work, this book also examines early Christian practices to suggest a theological reconceptualisation of work.

Book Synopsis The Craft of Theology by : Avery Dulles
Download or read book The Craft of Theology written by Avery Dulles and published by Crossroad Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Avery Dulles's theological career has spanned one of the most creative and confusing periods in the history of the church. With the goal of integrating new information from philosophy and the sciences into a deeper understanding of the world and society, the many theological schools pursued independent agendas, with the net effect of a loss of coherence. It is Fr. Dulles's contention that theological schools have drifted so far apart that what seems false and dangerous to one school seems almost self-evident to another. Theologians lack a common language, common goals, and common norms." "Exploring the possibilities for greater consensus, The Craft of Theology illustrates how a "post-critical" theology can draw on the riches of Scripture and tradition as it reflects on the faith of the church in new contexts. Fr. Dulles discusses the freedom of theology within the university and sets forth principles for a fresh dialogue with philosophy, the sciences, and other Christian churches."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Christianity and Craft Freemasonry by : Gerard G Moate
Download or read book Christianity and Craft Freemasonry written by Gerard G Moate and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CHRISTIAN RESPONSE TO FREEMASONRY may seem esoteric and, to judge by media silence, not currently an issue. Yet every minister will eventually meet someone who is a Freemason, who may hold some responsibility within their fellowship or place of work. This book will help ministers to understand first, the motives for membership of Freemasonry; and secondly, how to advise someone who is having doubts, or should be, about their membership. Although there is much to be found online, sifting and testing the veracity of this information is difficult. In the process of updating and expanding this book it has also been thought helpful to point the reader to reliable online resources and, through an amplified bibliography to be able to follow the author's research and draw your own conclusions.

Book Synopsis Craft Brewed Jesus by : Michael Camp
Download or read book Craft Brewed Jesus written by Michael Camp and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the modern American church has its Christian history wrong? According to ex-evangelical Michael Camp, most American believers fail Christian History 101. Drawing on his own historical research and missionary experience, he discovers that most popular Christian views of the Bible, church, sin, salvation, judgment, the kingdom of God, the "end times," and the afterlife--pretty much all religious sacred cows--don't align with the beliefs of the original Jesus movement. Some of them not even close. Camp's Craft Brewed Jesus paves a fascinating journey of a group of disillusioned evangelicals and Catholics. When they decide to meet regularly over craft beers to study the historic foundations of their faith, their findings both rock their world and resolve ancient mysteries. They examine well-documented narratives of the early Jesus saga, Eastern streams of a lost Christianity, and the roots of our modern religious assumptions, all while striving to steer clear of either a conservative or liberal bias. What they uncover is a vital, refreshing spiritual paradigm no longer at odds with reality. Grab your brew of choice and trace this transformational journey based on a true story that will encourage you in your walk of life and faith.
