Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are many fine books on the church, but none till now that so fully integrates the historical, sociological, and theological approaches necessary for complete understanding. The Second Vatican Council, often called "the council of the church," created new possibilities and new challenges, but it also raised many basic questions about the nature and mission of the church. This book describes how the church - or rather how we the church understand ourselves on the threshold of the third millennium." "One of the hallmarks of modern consciousness is the awareness of how all thought (not just theology!) is conditioned by time, place, and social location. Accordingly, Part 1 describes the contemporary context for reflection on the church, and sets out the methodology for such reflection. Part 2 then recalls the various ways in which the church's understanding of itself has developed over time. This section is not church history, but rather the history of the church's self-understanding, or ecclesiology. Part 3 is devoted to five major issues confronting the Christian community at present. They are, in short, ministry, liberation, inculturation, the specific challenges facing the church in the United States, and the relationship between Christian churches (ecumenism) and between the church and other religions (interreligious dialogue). Underlying all these challenges is the fundamental issue of the church's relationship to the world - a relationship, argues Professor Sanks, that should be one of permeation rather than subordination or separation. Hence the title of this book: Salt, Leaven, and Light, the biblical images of permeation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Book Synopsis Modern Catholic Social Teaching by : Kenneth R. Himes, OFM
Download or read book Modern Catholic Social Teaching written by Kenneth R. Himes, OFM and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-10 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an equal emphasis on every word in the title—and with a distinctly American perspective—Himes and his distinguished associate editors and contributors, have assembled the most thorough and authoritative assessment of modern Roman Catholic social teaching to date, likely to remain the touchstone volume for decades. This culmination of many years of effort by twenty stellar scholars has produced a reference work for anyone interested in understanding or studying the key documents that comprise the central corpus of Catholic social teaching. In addition to interrogations of the major documents, this volume provides an understanding of the biblical and philosophical foundations of Catholic social teaching, addresses the doctrinal issues that arise in such a context, and explores the social thought leading up to the "modern" era, generally accepted as beginning in 1891 with the publication of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. Finally, there is a review of how Catholic social teaching has been received in the United States, and an informed look at the shortcomings and questions that future generations must address. By any standard, Modern Catholic Social Teaching is a remarkable work—intellectually rigorous and deeply faithful, it provides accessible and thought-provoking insights into the heart of a belief tradition that every Catholic will find invaluable.
Book Synopsis Living the Gospel Out Loud: Salt. Light. Leaven by : Charles E. Bloom
Download or read book Living the Gospel Out Loud: Salt. Light. Leaven written by Charles E. Bloom and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-29 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have a responsibility to influence the people in our lives to be the best possible people they can be: "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up" (1 Thessalonians 5: 11). The word influence can be defined as the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself: for good or bad. It was Lucifer that influences a third of the angels to follow him, and as a result, they were kicked out of heaven. Other words that can be used to describe influence are effect - impact - control - sway - hold - power and authority. Each one of these words suggests the ability to have an effect on another person's life, for good or bad. Therefore, as a Christian, we have the responsibility to live in such a way that we influence the moral climate of our culture, and that is what makes us powerful in the earth. Sometimes you can have influence on someone and not even know it. Have you ever had someone to say how their lifestyle was affected by someone that they never met? They were attracted by something seen or said that affected their character, development, or behavior. The 3 metaphors the Bible uses to describe influence with credibility is salt, light, and leaven, and the credibility of each must be seen in the home, church, and community, with that being said, we can turn the world upside down for Jesus. My prayer is that as you read this book, you will see the importance of salt, light, and leaven as agents of influence in the home, church, and community. By doing so the credibility of the Gospel can be trusted to bring hope and healing because of how we Live the Gospel Out Loud.

Book Synopsis Partners in Wisdom and Grace by : Marylin T. Kravatz
Download or read book Partners in Wisdom and Grace written by Marylin T. Kravatz and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2010 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative tension calls for a dialogical conversation in order to find mutual ground that can be beneficial for both partners. Partners in Wisdom and Grace explores the possibility of such tension created by the absence of religious education as a dialogical partner in the National Directory for Catechesis published by the U.S. Bishops in 2005. These queries are central: Will catechesis take religious education as a conversation partner? And, will religious education return the favor? This book concludes that catechesis and religious education remain distinct enterprises that have their own specific identities and make their own particular contributions toward educating for a religious way of life. This is an invitation for catechesis and religious education to generate a continuous healthy dialogue and mutually enrich each other while maintaining their distinct identities. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ by : JOHN PIPER
Download or read book Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Book Synopsis A Council That Will Never End by : Paul Lakeland
Download or read book A Council That Will Never End written by Paul Lakeland and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lumen Gentium, Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, changed how the church thinks about the laity, holiness, baptism, and even the nature and purpose of the church itself. In A Council That Will Never End, the highly regarded ecclesiologist Paul Lakeland marks the fiftieth anniversary of this document's promulgation by taking up three major themes of the constitution, analyzing the text, and identifying some of the questions with which it leaves us. These themes are the role of the bishop in the church and the ways Lumen Gentium's teaching relates to various tensions in today's church the laity and in particular the mixed blessing of describing them in the category of "secularity" and the relationships between the church and the people of God and what they tell us about the ways in which all people are offered salvation. Lakeland is convinced that Lumen Gentium leaves much unfinished business (as any historical document must), that attending to it will take us beyond much of the now sterile ecclesial divisions, and that the ecclesiology of humility it implies marks the way that theology must guide the church in the years ahead.
