Book Synopsis Wondrous in His Saints by : Chris Baghos
Download or read book Wondrous in His Saints written by Chris Baghos and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role do the church fathers play in the life of a modern Christian? How do they define the experience of holiness? And how can they help us appreciate our current culture while maintaining our traditional values? Wondrous in His Saints posits answers to these and other crucial questions while drawing upon the Eastern Orthodox patristic tradition from Late Antiquity to the early modern era. Its chapters vary in scope, theme, and content, focusing especially on the church fathers' insights into intimate aspects of the spiritual life (including prayer, repentance, and love), as well as their engagement with the artistic and scientific achievements of their wider contexts. Exploring the lives and writings of numerous titans of Orthodoxy (including St. Augustine of Hippo, St. Maximus the Confessor, and St. Gregory Palamas), as well as lesser-known figures (such as St. Guthlac of Crowland and the Chinese Martyrs of the Boxer Rebellion), the author brings to the fore its egalitarian nature; the fact that deification has never been restricted to any time, place, social class, or clerical rank according to the church fathers, but always attainable for men and women seeking communion with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Book Synopsis Pilgrims on the Silk Road by : Walter R. Ratliff
Download or read book Pilgrims on the Silk Road written by Walter R. Ratliff and published by Walter Ratliff. This book was released on 2010 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis: They were seeking religious freedom and the Second Coming of Christ in Central Asia. They found themselves in the care of a Muslim king. During the 1880s, Mennonites from Russia made a treacherous journey to the Silk Road kingdom of Khiva. Both Uzbek and Mennonite history seemed to set the stage for ongoing religious and ethnic discord. Yet their story became an example of friendship and cooperation between Muslims and Christians. Pilgrims on the Silk Road challenges conventional wisdom about the trek to Central Asia and the settlement of Ak Metchet. It shows how the story, long associated with failed End Times prophecies, is being recast in light of new evidence. Pilgrims highlights the role of Ak Metchet as a refuge for those fleeing Soviet oppression, and the continuing influence of the episode more than twelve decades later. Endorsements: "Walter Ratliff's history of the Mennonite Great Trek to Central Asia offers a new angle of vision upon one of the most remarkable events of Mennonite history. Pilgrims on the Silk Road puts the Great Trek into the context of nineteenth-century imperial rivalry and of the Russian conquest of Khiva. The author tells tales of Muslim-Christian cooperation that resonate with meaning in our twenty-first century of religious polarization. Ratliff's perspective is revisionist without being contentious. I hope this book will find a wide readership." -James Juhnke, Bethel College, Emeritus "In Pilgrims on the Silk Road, Ratliff has brought to light a fascinating but little known chapter in the history of European involvement in Central Asia, along the silk road. His portrait of the Mennonite mission to Khiva makes for great reading and an excellent companion to such classic works as Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game." -Charles M. Stang, Harvard Divinity School Author Biography: Walter Ratliff is a journalist and religion scholar from Washington, DC. He holds degrees from Georgetown University, Wheaton College, and the University of New Mexico. He is the producer/director of the documentary "Through the Desert Goes Our Journey" (2008).

Book Synopsis Silk Road Pilgrimage by : Pilgrim David
Download or read book Silk Road Pilgrimage written by Pilgrim David and published by Wide Margin. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves two different purposes. Firstly, it is intended as an evangelistic book that can be given to Muslims. It contains dialogues with Muslims about a wide range of spiritual issues and unpacks some deeper meanings that most Muslims have not thought about when they observe practices such as almsgiving, fasting or circumcision. Secondly, the book serves as a handbook or model for Christians in finding points of contact for constructive dialogues with people from Islamic backgrounds. The themes mentioned above are relevant especially in Muslim contexts, while some other 'points of contact' relate to particular issues in certain cultures, such as using traditional Central Asian rugs or carpets as a bridge for sharing about Jesus. Still other topics are general human issues such as questions of suffering, bringing up children, or the activities of angels, which may be of interest to people from almost any culture. The book is based on the author's experiences of talking with Muslims in Central Asia and the Caucasus region. There is no single approach that is suitable for everyone, so this book provides a repertoire of possible approaches that can be used in particular circumstances when talking with people from Muslim backgrounds.

The discovery of the Xi'an Fu Stele, the Dunhuang Jingjiao Manuscripts, the numerous Syriac tombstones and fragments in Central Asia and many parts of China has unearthed a buried history of Syriac Christianity from the Tang Dynasty to the time of the Mongol Empire. The papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics from manuscripts and inscription, to the historical, liturgical and theological perspectives of Syriac Christianity in this geographic realm. Li Tang is Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Biblical Studies and Ecclesiastical History, University of Salzburg.. Dietmar W. Winkler is Professor of Patristic Studies and Ecclesiastical History at the University of Salzburg and Director of the Center for the Study of Eastern Christianity (ZECO) of the University of Salzburg.

Book excerpt: International Best-selling author spent years living and studying in India and remote Himalayan locations, following the Old Silk Road and the legends of Jesus. She accessed obscure relics and scrolls, and has raised alarms worldwide about the risk of terrorism destroying the evidence the world needs.

No armchair scholar, her extensive and well-written research is backed up with meticulous notes and resources, dozens of rare photographs, charts and maps. A fascinating work of deep reflection and mesmerizing personal experiences, combining her own genealogy quest with rare 'boots on the ground' kind of research acquired at great personal risk. Olsson is now the world's leading expert on the Roza Bal tomb. This book is a classic worldwide, and best-seller among Christians, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, and Muslims seeking the historical connections to their origins. This is the 5th and final updated edition.
