Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Confessions of a Jewish Priest are the reminiscences of Gabriel Weinreich, a secular Jew who was born in Poland and moved to the U.S. as a young adolescent during World War II thus narrowly escaping the Holocaust. The book follows Weinreich as he becomes an American, twice-husband, father, and an award-winning scientist, and shows how his subsequent journey toward Christianity and ordination to the Episcopal priesthood do nothing to impair his sense of "Jewishness."In addition to telling a compelling life story of a boy from an eminent Jewish family, the book takes us on a journey into Christianity as perceived by a Jew who began as a complete atheist--but realizes later in life that he never really was an atheist after all.

Book Synopsis Confessions of the Shtetl by : Ellie R. Schainker
Download or read book Confessions of the Shtetl written by Ellie R. Schainker and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the nineteenth century, some 84,500 Jews in imperial Russia converted to Christianity. Confessions of the Shtetl explores the day-to-day world of these people, including the social, geographic, religious, and economic links among converts, Christians, and Jews. The book narrates converts' tales of love, desperation, and fear, tracing the uneasy contest between religious choice and collective Jewish identity in tsarist Russia. Rather than viewing the shtetl as the foundation myth for modern Jewish nationhood, this work reveals the shtetl's history of conversions and communal engagement with converts, which ultimately yielded a cultural hybridity that both challenged and fueled visions of Jewish separatism. Drawing on extensive research with conversion files in imperial Russian archives, in addition to the mass press, novels, and memoirs, Ellie R. Schainker offers a sociocultural history of religious toleration and Jewish life that sees baptism not as the fundamental departure from Jewishness or the Jewish community, but as a conversion that marked the start of a complicated experiment with new forms of identity and belonging. Ultimately, she argues that the Jewish encounter with imperial Russia did not revolve around coercion and ghettoization but was a genuinely religious drama with a diverse, attractive, and aggressive Christianity.
Book Synopsis Confessions of a Closet Catholic by : Sarah Darer Littman
Download or read book Confessions of a Closet Catholic written by Sarah Darer Littman and published by Puffin Books. This book was released on 2006-05-04 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Sydney Taylor Book Award! An "eleven-going-on-twelve-year-old Jewish girl" searches for her identity in what Publisher's Weekly called a "reassuring debut novel about finding one's personal peace-and-comfort zone." Justine Silver's best friend, Mary Catherine McAllister, has given up chocolate for Lent, but Justine doesn't think God wants her to make that kind of sacrifice. So she's decided to give up being Jewish instead. Eleven-year-old Justine pours her heart out to her teddy bear, "Father Ted," in a homemade closet confessional. But when Justine's beloved Bubbe suffers a stroke, Justine worries that her religious exploration is responsible. Worse, she must suddenly contemplate life without Bubbe. Ultimately, it's Bubbe's quiet understanding of Justine's search for identity that helps Justine to find faith in the most important place of all-within herself.

Book Synopsis Confessions, Revised and Updated by : Matthew Fox
Download or read book Confessions, Revised and Updated written by Matthew Fox and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Fox's stirring autobiography, Confessions, reveals his personal, intellectual, and spiritual journey from altar boy, to Dominican priest, to his eventual break with the Vatican. Five new chapters in this revised and updated edition bring added perspective in light of the author's continued journey, and his reflections on the current changes taking place in the Catholic church. Instead of living out his vows as a Dominican brother Matthew Fox was expelled from the Order after 34 years by Cardinal Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI. Fox took this as a warning from the Church that henceforth thinkers should not think, but get in line. It is from this anti-intellectual, inquisition-style mentality that the cover-up of priestly pedophilia also grew as the Vatican appointed several generations of bishops and cardinals whose only criterion for selection was that they be uncritical yes-men. Confessions tells the inside story of what it was like "standing in front of the train" when the Vatican was on the attack. It also reflects on the meaning of the encouragingly healthy papacy of Pope Francis, but holds little hope for the institutional church. Rather, this book points to the main interest and accomplishments of the author's work to bring spirituality and prophetic warriorhood alive again in society and religion. Fox draws inspiration from great mystics of the past, such as Hildegard of Bingen (a champion of the Divine Feminine) and Meister Eckhart (a profoundly mystical and ecumenical champion of those without a voice), and the return of the archetype of the Cosmic Christ alongside the teachings of the historical Jesus and the bringing forth of the wisdom traditions from all the world's spiritual traditions to stand up for eco-justice, gender justice, economic justice and social justice.
Download or read book Herod from Hell written by Craig R. Smith and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She sat up straight. "Herod, your father was loyal to my interests. So if you really want to go to Rome, I'll provide a galley. But at this time of year, the sea can be treacherous." "No more treacherous than returning to Judea." She laughed. "You are so serious. That must be what Antony likes about you." "What Antony likes about me is our mutual need for one another and my fortune. And Queen Cleopatra, the same is true for you and me. We have the same enemies, the Parthians and the Arabs." "I have a new one. Antony took the hand of Octavian's sister. You must pledge to help me with that matter." A nurse brought her twins by Antony to her. They were named Alexander and Cleopatra. "I will do what I can. Antony can't possibly love that Octavia. It's just a political arrangement. However, if I help you with Octavia, you must help me with the Hasmoneans. Until their alliance with the Parthians is undone, you and Antony have a thorn in your side, a thorn that will prevent you from defeating Octavian." She rose, and I tottered to my feet in respect. "Antony has confided much in you. I will provide the galley to get you to Rome and send along a note to Antony with my advice. Now, go back to your quarters and get some rest. Your journey will be a long one." Herod the Great wants to set the record straight. With documented research, Herod solves the mysteries surrounding the lives of various roman emperors, John the Baptist, Jesus, and his homosexual relationship with the beloved apostle, John. Herod finds this love affair to be the actual cause of Jesus' crucifixion. Herod issues a brutally honest portrait of his life from the fiery depths of Hell. With conversations with notable historical figures, such as Caesar Augustus and Cleopatra, and a detailed history of the Herodian dynasty that includes interaction with the Roman Empire, the Jews of Antiquity, and the Christian leadership, Herod leads us through his fascinating life story. He tells how he was overthrown by an allied force of dissident Jews and Parthians, and eventually returned to power by Marc Antony to become King of the Jews, Herod the Great, the second richest man in the Roman Empire. He continues his story through his descendants, the death of Jesus, and the rise of Christianity to the end of the First Century A.D. He thus achieves redemption.
Download or read book Doubts written by James Stathakios and published by Sandkey Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 29, 1969, Reverend Father James Stathakios was ordained as a priest of the Orthodox Christian Church. For decades, he would preach God's word to his congregation, even as he faced his own spiritual crisis. A freethinker, Father Stathakios walked into the catacombs of faith with many questions. College educated, he found the church's anti-intellectual properties galling. He questioned why the Holy Bible should be given precedence over the world's many other holy scriptures and why different sects of Christianity seemed bound by conflict instead of love. All this Father Stathakios struggled with in secret, fulfilling his role as priest while quietly wondering if what he had believed for most of his life was true. Doubts: Confession of a Priest is more than Stathakios's personal story-as intriguing and thought-provoking as that story is. Stathakios's thoughts are also a challenge to Christians everywhere to examine their faith, their church, and their God. When you face doubt, you can choose to deny it, accept it, or struggle with it to find a deeper meaning. Stathakios chose to struggle. In doing so, he discovered much about his relationship with the religious and secular worlds.

Download or read book Confessions written by Matthew Fox and published by Harper San Francisco. This book was released on 1996 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Visionary, activist, and one of the most important religious thinkers and teachers of our time, Matthew Fox has devoted his career to unleashing the suppressed mystical and life-affirming traditions within Christianity. His theology of "Creation Spirituality" - notably the belief that we are born in "original blessing" - has reinvigorated the faith of countless Christians and earned him the headline-making censure of the Vatican, who officially "silenced" Fox in 1989 and precipitated his dismissal by the Dominican Order in 1993." "In this always compelling memoir, Fox, now an Episcopal priest, traces the roots of his radical theology, from his 195Os childhood in Madison, Wisconsin, through formative years spent training in a late-sixties Paris rocked by revolutionary fervor, to taking on the Vatican (which he likens to standing in front of a train), to his most recent experiences as a leader of "rave masses" for urban young people. Written with his characteristic candor and insight, Confessions details Fox's spiritual, intellectual, political, and cultural evolution as an envelope-pushing member of a generation "bold enough to question many things and to seek spirituality over religion."" "Fox's story mirrors the questions and concerns of those millions of contemporary seekers with a "passion for holiness"; a yearning for a Christian spirituality committed to social justice, feminism, and environmentalism; and a desire for ritual that heals, celebrates, and honors the gifts of being in each of us. Always relentlessly ahead of his time, Fox embraces his role as a "post-denominational priest," passionately exploring the present and future role of faith, church, and a spirituality grounded in the emphatic belief that finding God is still possible."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
