Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Italian police detective Nic Costa's Rome: the side of the city the tourist board does not want you to see. "Hewson does more than provide a thrilling read. He saves you the airfare to Italy. When you turn the last page, you'll think you've been there" LINWOOD BARCLAY "David Hewson's Rome is dark and tantalizing, seductive and dangerous, a place where present-day crimes ring with the echoes of history" TESS GERRITSEN "David Hewson is one of the finest thriller writers working today" STEVE BERRY "No author has ever brought Rome so alive for me - nor made it seem so sinister" PETER JAMES "[Hewson is] a master plot maker" BOOKLIST _______________________ A horrifying crime linked to an ancient Roman cult. A merciless act of revenge. A cold case thought dead and buried forever . . . Giorgio Bramante, a charismatic Roman archaeology professor, was considered master of the labyrinth of dank catacombs that lie beneath the Eternal City - until the day his seven-year-old son, Alessio, vanished into them. The matter was never solved, in part because - inexplicably - Giorgio was left alone with the prime suspect . . . and in his frenzied rage, he beat the man to death. Released from prison fourteen years later, Giorgio is bent upon a terrifying revenge on all those he blames for the loss of his son. One by one, those connected to the boy's disappearance are dying. And Detective Nic Costa's maverick boss, Inspector Leo Falcone, was a member of the original investigating team . . . As Costa and his team scramble to find Giorgio, they quickly realize that the only way to put this cold case to bed once and for all is to finally solve the unanswered question: what really happened to little Alessio Bramante all those years ago, and why was his body never found? Fans of Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti, Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano and Michael Dibdin's Aurelio Zen, as well as Louise Penny, Jeffey Siger and Martin Walker, will love this thrilling mystery series - perfect for readers who enjoy dark and complex character-led mysteries with multiple twists. PRAISE FOR THE SEVENTH SACRAMENT: "The interplay between Hewson's three cops and between them and the especially rich supporting cast lift this novel far above the plot-driven Da Vinci Code and its many imitators. A superb mix of history, mystery, and humanity" Booklist Starred Review "Intricate . . . [with a] poignant resolution few readers will anticipate" Publishers Weekly "The plot was full of suspense that had me completely in thrall from beginning to end" Sonja, 5* GoodReads review "Cleverly plotted and heartbreakingly real" A.M., 5* GoodReads review "Non-stop suspense, and a surprise ending.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time when parishioners bowed down at feet of priests in front of pulpits, an innocent boy is placed in foot of an altar that hides deep dark secrets. Under a cloak of darkness, and within the reach of the devil’s grasp, young Peter Malone is brought up by a religious mother with a priestly plan. Blinded by the light of her spiritual salvation, Mother Mary Malone pushes the parameters of obedience at all cost, to achieve her spiritual reward. In this distorted world of fanatical worship, her seventh son of a seventh son is precariously placed in front of fallen clergy, who are cloaked in deception. On his preordained spiritual journey of life, young Peter Malone is pushed and pulled from the good and evil forces that surrounds his every step. Covered by the protection of three good priests, Peter is lifted with faith and filled with inspiration while growing into an adult. Watched closely by the peering eyes of evil three evil priests, Peter is confused by their disturbing deeds and conflicted by the holy leadership’s reluctance to respond. As he stumbles towards his celibate life, Father Peter Malone finally searches for answers from his holy brothers, but only receives an empty chalice of silence. With the absence of answers and in a void of protection for the most vulnerable, the demented priests’ prey on the weakest lambs. The wake of destruction perpetrated upon the fragile flock is too much for one broken boy to handle. That innocent soul is finally released from the pain by the ultimate sacrifice and becomes a catalyst for change within the church, and in the life of Father Peter Malone.

Download or read book Sacramental Theology written by Bruce T. Morrill and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, sacramental theology has evolved as a discipline advancing comprehensive theories of sacraments and sacramentality as integral to the Christian faith while also studying the history and theology of the particular rites. Now, in the twenty-first century, the need for attention to the actual performance and specific social settings of sacramental worship has become well established. This makes the work of sacramental theology necessarily engaged with multiple, cross-disciplinary theories attentive to particular contexts, whether local, national, or global. Still, the divine human encounter at the heart of Christian symbol and ritual likewise beckons to philosophical–theological reflection. The essays in this volume begin with profound philosophical perspectives on the personal and communal sacramental experience, expanding from traditional cosmology to evolutionary and chaos theories of our planetary existence, continuing with shifts, especially among youth, to interreligious and non-institutional perspectives, consideration of change in popular notions of guilt, and social–ethical issues in relation to liturgical theology and practice, so as finally to return to fundamental theological reflection on human sacramentality and divine revelation.

This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLISS is a faith-provoking book. Scripture says in Ephesians 2: 8, By the grace of God you have been saved through faith. Faith is the activator and receptor of the graces of salvation; without faith we are at the risk of losing the grace of salvation. Romans 10: 17 says, Faith comes by hearing the word of Christ. The quality of a believers faith is proportional to the amount of Gods Word heard, believed, and practised. The sacraments are treasures and containers of the powers of salvation; they contain power for forgivingness, healing, deliverance, freedom, victory, breakthrough, and sundry favours. Faith is the ability and disposition to receive and enjoy these blessings. Faith is necessary for the experience of the awesome powers of the sacraments. Faith releases the sacraments from habitual and conditioned confinement to mere ritual to a life-giving cistern of reality. BLISS is a handy, helpful, and practical book of faith that leads all Christians to tap the abundant powers in the sacraments. BLISS is about getting more and all out of the sacraments as it ought to be.

Book excerpt: What if no one ever had to die alone? In 1923, in the mountains of eastern Peru, a stranger approaches eleven injured men shortly after a battle has ended. He assists only six of the wounded, all of whom die shortly after he sees to their needs; then, without a word or glance toward the other five, he leaves. The remaining men survive the journey home, telling the story of the man with bright-blue eyes and a scar upon his right hand. The tale becomes the legend of El Padre, passed down to their children and their children's children. As time goes by, the legend spreads beyond Peru, crossing decades and continents. In 2008, New York investigative reporter Sam Noll has a front-page political scandal in the works-that is, until his editor reassigns him to chronicle the El Padre sightings. Although he's frustrated, Sam slowly lets the new article become personal and persuades a quirky colleague, Ira Nevins, to assist him in the search. The discoveries lead Sam to some dangerous destinations and bring him new revelations about El Padre's intentions-and hopefully his true identity. When Sam uncovers a strange pattern to the sightings, however, it places him on the direct path of a man many believe to be some type of angel. Although Sam is determined to solve the mystery, he may be facing something more sinister than he originally believed-and finding the answer may be the last thing he ever does.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academy and pop culture alike recognize the great symbolic and teaching value of the undead, whether vampires, zombies, or other undead or living-dead creatures. This has been explored variously from critiques of consumerism and racism, through explorations of gender and sexuality, to consideration of the breakdown of the nuclear family. Most academic examinations of the undead have been undertaken from the perspectives of philosophy and political theory, but another important avenue of exploration comes through theology. Through the vampire, the zombie, the Golem, and Cenobites, contributors address a variety of theological issues by way of critical reflection on the divine and the sacred in popular culture through film, television, graphic novels, and literature.

This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone seems to agree that Western Civilization is in trouble. The problem is that no one agrees on what has gone wrong or what to do about it. Some think we have too much government, some not enough; some think we have too much capitalism, some not enough; some think we have too much sexual freedom, some not enough. But what if the problem is much more fundamental? What if the problem goes to the very foundations of who we are as human beings in relationship with God? In The First Society: The Sacrament of Matrimony and the Restoration of the Social Order, Scott Hahn makes the startling claim that our society’s ills and its cures are rooted in whether we reject or accept the divine graces made available through the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Man, he argues, is social in his very nature. We were created for community. As it was in the beginning, so it remains today. The family, formed through the Sacrament of Matrimony, is the most basic building block of every society—whether we like it or not. We’ve corrupted marriage, and so we have a corrupt society. If we get marriage right, our society, through God’s grace, will flourish. This is so because Matrimony, like all the sacraments, heals and elevates human nature. Without marriage, our ambitions toward a just social order will remain forever foolhardy. With it, the seemingly impossible, a truly peaceful and humane civilization, becomes possible.

Download or read book The Body of the Cross written by Travis E. Ables and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Body of the Cross is a study of holy victims in Western Christian history and how the uses of their bodies in Christian thought led to the idea of the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice. Since its first centuries, Christianity has traded on the suffering of victims—martyrs, mystics, and heretics—as substitutes for the Christian social body. These victims secured holiness, either by their own sacred power or by their reprobation and rejection. Just as their bodies were mediated in eucharistic, social, and Christological ways, so too did the flesh of Jesus Christ become one of those holy substitutes. But it was only late in Western history that he took on the function of the exemplary victim. In tracing the story of this embodied development, The Body of the Cross gives special attention to popular spirituality, religious dissent, and the writing of women throughout Christian history. It examines the symbol of the cross as it functions in key moments throughout this history, including the parting of the ways of Judaism and Christianity, the gnostic debates, martyr traditions, and medieval affective devotion and heresy. Finally, in a Reformation era haunted by divine wrath, these themes concentrated in the unique concept that Jesus Christ died on the cross to absorb divine punishment for sin: a holy body and a rejected body in one.
