Download or read book Praying in Time written by Vassa Larin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said that a major problem of our twenty-four-seven internet age is that people increasingly lack "purpose" and "meaning" in their lives. And the most influential people of our day, the tech geniuses and self-help gurus, seem convinced that "we" are the ones who are to create this purpose or meaning for ourselves, just as we invent new technologies and self-help programs. In this context, Sister Vassa Larin invites the Christian reader to rediscover a handy instrument from the toolbox of ancient Christian tradition, which can fill our every hour and every day with faith-based meaning and purpose: the practice of praying and "commemorating" every weekday and every time of day, according to the traditioned, liturgical meaning of each day and hour. Combining engaging theological explanations with practical prayer tips, Sister Vassa offers a simple and flexible way of living this prayer tradition, so it is sustainable even amidst a busy schedule.
Book Synopsis Prayer and Politics by : Peter van der Veer
Download or read book Prayer and Politics written by Peter van der Veer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer is an important religious practice that is rarely studied from the perspective of politics – and yet it should be. Though some forms of Protestantism teach that prayer should be individual and private, this is an exception rather than a rule. In many other religions and cultures, the regulation of collective and public prayer cannot be separated from the complex world of politics. Where is prayer allowed, and where not? Who can participate, and who can’t? How should you pray – and how shouldn’t you? Prayer is subject to a host of both written and unwritten political rules. From the Pentecostal religious battle – where prayer is both sword and shield against the Satanic Other – to the relations between Islam and Christianity, prayer as spiritual warfare can be found cross-culturally and across the world. This book brings together case studies of the political salience of prayer in Nigeria, France, India, Russia, and the United States. It deals with Christian, Muslim, and Hindu practices. In a world where religious tensions are ever-present, it reminds us of the intensely political nature of prayer. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Religious and Political Practice.
Book Synopsis From Peasant to Patriarch by : Ioann Shusherin
Download or read book From Peasant to Patriarch written by Ioann Shusherin and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2007-04-26 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nikon (1605-1681), patriarch of Moscow and all Russia, is best known for imposing the religious reforms that ultimately led to the schism of the Russian Orthodox Church. Yet only the Account of Birth, Life, and Upbringing of His Holiness Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia (1680s), comes close to immortalizing the vicissitudes of Nikon's entire life. Written by Ioann Shusherin's (d. 1693), the patriarch's protZgZ and confidant, the Account presents Nikon as he appeared to his contemporary supporters. The biography chronicles Nikon's steady rise through the ecclesiastical ranks, dramatic downfall, and extraordinary rehabilitation. While discussing Nikonian religious reforms, the Account focuses on Nikon's relationship with the Romanov royal family and his monastery building program, especially the early history of the New Jerusalem Monastery and its main sanctuary, the Church of the Resurrection. This unique narrative features rare eyewitness accounts of momentous and daily life during a period of unprecedented political, religious, and social change in Russia. From Peasant to Patriarch is the first English language translation of the Account. Dr. Kevin Kain and Dr. Katia Levintova offer extensive commentary, parallel texts, and a glossary of Russian terms that contribute to the depth of this text. From Peasant to Patriarch opens new doors to the study of Russian history, religion, and culture.

Book Synopsis The Russian Orthodox Community in Hong Kong by : Loretta E. Kim
Download or read book The Russian Orthodox Community in Hong Kong written by Loretta E. Kim and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong has been a unique society from its establishment as a political region separate from mainland China in the nineteenth century under British colonial rule until the present day as a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China. A hub of interregional and international migration, it has been the temporary and long-term home of people belonging to many racial, ethnic, and cultural groups. This book examines the evolution of the community established by clergy and congregants of the Russian Orthodox Church. This community was first developed in the 1930s and then revived after a hiatus of over two decades from the 1970s to the 1990s with the founding of the Orthodox Parish of Apostles Saints Peter and Paul (OPASPP) at the turn of the twenty-first century. This study demonstrates how the OPASPP has become a vital provider of knowledge about Russian language and culture as well as a religious institution serving both heritage and convert believers. The community formed by and around the OPASPP is important to foster Sino-Russian relations based on individual-to-individual contact and mutual exposure to Chinese and Russian cultures in a region of China which allows spiritual and social diversity with minimal political constraints.

Book Synopsis Russia's Islam and Orthodoxy beyond the Institutions by : Alfrid K. Bustanov
Download or read book Russia's Islam and Orthodoxy beyond the Institutions written by Alfrid K. Bustanov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam and the Orthodox Church in contemporary Russia are usually studied in isolation from each other, and each in relation to the Kremlin; the latter demands the development of a home-grown and patriotic ‘religious traditionalism, as a bulwark against subversive ‘non-traditional’ imports. This volume breaks new ground by focusing on charismatic missionaries from both religions who bypass the hierarchies of their respective faith organizations and challenge the ‘traditionalism’ paradigm from within Russia's many religious traditions, and who give new meanings to the well-known catchwords of Russia's identity discourse. The Moscow priest Daniil Sysoev confronted the Russian Orthodox Church with ‘Uranopolitism’, a spiritual vision that defies patriotism and nationalism; the media-savvy Geidar Dzhemal projected an ‘Islamic Eurasianism’ and a world revolution for which Russia's Muslims would provide the vanguard; and the Islamic terrorist Said Buriatskii found respect among left- and right-wing Russians through his Islamic adaptation of Lev Gumilev's ‘passionarity’ paradigm. On the other side, Russian experts and journalists who propagate the official paradigm of Russia's ‘traditional Islam’ argue from either Orthodox or secularist perspectives, and fail to give content to the concept. This allows even moderate Salafis to argue that their creed is Russia's real ‘traditionalist’ Islam. This book was originally published as a special issue of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations.
Book Synopsis Grammar of the Church Slavonic Language by : Alipīĭ (Hieromonk.)
Download or read book Grammar of the Church Slavonic Language written by Alipīĭ (Hieromonk.) and published by Printshop of St Job of Pochaev. This book was released on 2001 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church Slavonic (Slavic) language was devised in the ninth century. Based on Old Bulgarian, it was created by the Greek missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius. As the first written Slavic language it has become the mother of all modern Slavic languages and continues in daily use in the services of the Slavic Orthodox Churches. (Russian, Bulgarian, Polish etc.) This is a comprehensive grammar of the Church Slavonic language, covering etymology, parts of speech, and syntax. This English edition was translated from the Russian and includes an explanation of grammatical points that would be taken for granted by a native Russian speaker. Long used as a seminary textbook both in North America and Russia, Archbishop Alypy's work is an absolutely unique publication in English and is essential for anyone desiring to study Church Slavonic, from beginning learner to advanced scholar. Texts for practice are largely drawn from the Gospels. This is both a unique and authoritative work.
Book Synopsis Chekhov and Russian Religious Culture by : Julie W. De Sherbinin
Download or read book Chekhov and Russian Religious Culture written by Julie W. De Sherbinin and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chekhov and Russian Religious Culture is an innovative study of the Virgin Mary and the "saintly harlots"--Mary of Egypt and Mary Magdalene--as a cultural paradigm encoded in Chekhov's prose. De Sherbinin establishes the authority of the Marian paradigm in nineteenth-century Russian culture with a comprehensive overview of salient religious and literary texts, then offers critical readings of more than fifteen Chekhov stories, including key works such as "Peasants," "Peasant Women," and "My Life." De Sherbinin argues that Chekhov inverts and displaces the Christian meanings of Marian texts in order to reveal a vasy array of problematized relationships to the canonized figures. This illuminating semiotic reading of Chekhov explores questions of female identity as it probes the mindset of Russian Orthodox popular culture.
Book Synopsis Going Places in the Spirit by : Joshua Bvudzijena Maponga
Download or read book Going Places in the Spirit written by Joshua Bvudzijena Maponga and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity & Spirituality The advent and introduction of Christianity to the African continent in the form of missionaries took away the Spiritual Connection with God and replaced it with empty forms of worship which they called "Christianity". Christianity as read and understood from the book of Acts, is a 'Spirit-Filled' movement that is contrary to the Christianity of the missionaries, which put emphasis on the physical appearance, forms, and schedules, protocols, and manuals, at the expense of the core of a human being, his spirit. This mechanical form of Christianity by missionaries starves the Spirit and feeds the flesh. Reconnect, and relive the book of Acts in the present day. This book seeks to address among other interesting issues that are hardly addressed on your church pulpits. 'Going Places in the Spirit' will set you on a course correction that will connect you with God not in religious protocol but in a divine relationship with your creator. 'Going Places in the Spirit' will help you re-discover the 'Christ' in Christianity and the Spirit of God in 'Man' as he was created in His image to have dominion on 'Earth as it is in Heaven'. 'Going Places in the Spirit' will redefine your identity at the root of your creation both in the 'Physical' and the 'Spiritual'. Going Places in the Spirit is about 'Decolonizing Christianity'
