Download or read book The Gospel Mysticism of Ruth Burrows Going to God with Empty Hands written by Michelle Jones and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most popular and revered spiritual writers of the past half-century, the British author and Carmelite nun Ruth Burrows writes not as a detached observer of either the Christian journey or the Carmelite tradition, but through the lens of her lifetime of lived experience as a contemplative Carmelite nun in the 21st century. In the words of emeritus archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, this gives Burrows’s understanding of and writings on prayer “a very rare degree of honesty and realism,” making her one of the most challenging and deep exponents in our time of the Carmelite tradition. The Gospel Mysticism of Ruth Burrows presents for the first time a thorough synthesis of her thought. It is addressed to a wide range of readers, first of all to those interested in Burrows’s spirituality, but also anyone who wants to trace the graced unfolding of the Christian spiritual life. For readers just discovering Burrows, the book is a helpful roadmap to navigate the ideas she develops through her writings. It will have special appeal to anyone interested in exploring Carmelite spirituality. In addition to systematically exploring Burrows’s thought and writings, Australian theologian and author Michelle Jones mines a rich collection of unpublished writings, including personal correspondence, and lives interviews with Ruth Burrows at her Carmelite monastery in the UK. More Information The book includes an appendix, a full bibliography of Carmelite primary sources with a listing of all the published writings of Ruth Burrows, and an extensive index. “About this book” introduces the readers to a brief biography of Burrows and the author and how the book came to be. A conclusion summarizes the book’s contents but also invites the reader to explore the possibility of what many consider the greatest need of our time: a mysticism that is not only personal, but deeply ecclesial, able to radically transform the church and the world. Reviewers praise The Gospel Mysticism of Ruth Burrows as “the most comprehensive, readable introduction to Burrows that is presently available,” …. “an important contribution to studies on spirituality and mysticism.” In this pivotal book, Australian theologian and author Michelle Jones not only presents Ruth Burrows to a wider readership but also provides an important contribution to the academy vis-à-vis the study of spirituality. Jones’s book shows why Burrows is one of the most important Carmelite authors in our time and what it means to be a Gospel mystic.

Book excerpt: The book of Ruth is a love story. Like all love stories it has twists and turns, tension and resolution, and a happy ending.

Tony Merida's compelling story-telling and Christ-centered insights make this both an accessible and absorbing expository guide to the book of Ruth.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of Ruth by : Dr. Jean Daniel Francois
Download or read book The Gospel of Ruth written by Dr. Jean Daniel Francois and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Ruth represents a beautiful biblical epic which meets all the conditions of a twenty-first-century best-seller. Anyone who takes the time to read it will be charmed by its literary merit. It considers extraordinary themes of tragedy, love, patriotism, passion, emotions, and conflicts. From a biblical standpoint, this book presents an ideal canvas for believers of all ages. It allows them to remember that the Most High controls the destiny of all those who "take refuge under the wings of the God of Israel." Any reader of the Bible will also be pleasantly surprised to discover this little-known jewel. Its precious pearls are hidden only in four chapters. It is surprisingly rich in its literary and simplistic style, its rhythm and fluidity. It reflects a certain time, its people, their customs, and their values. This book, while short and sweet, is a loaded one catering to almost everyone. The reader is invited to slowly peruse these chapters and revel in all the peasant charm of the world of the Near East world of antiquity. In this version, the author has taken the liberty to fill in details of the picture in order to portray the tapestry of the story in full technicolor. It is a contemporary perspective of an old story. We hope you find this tale novel refreshing as retold in mostly dialogue but still in line with the biblical text. Enjoy it! Happy reading!
Book Synopsis Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew by : Amy E. Richter
Download or read book Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew written by Amy E. Richter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew's Gospel contains material unique to it among the canonical Gospels. What is the background for this material? Why does the writer of Matthew's Gospel tell the story of Jesus in the way he does--including women in his genealogy, telling the story of the birth of Jesus in his particular way, and including the visit of the magi led by a star? Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew shows that the writer of Matthew was familiar with themes and traditions about the antediluvian patriarch Enoch, including the story of the fall of the angels called "watchers," who transgress their heavenly boundaries to engage in illicit relations with women and teach them forbidden arts. The Gospel writer shows that Jesus brings about the eschatological repair of the consequences of the watchers' fall as told in the Enochic legend. This study focuses on Matthew's genealogy and infancy narrative and also has implications for the study of women in Matthew, since it is often through the stories of women in Matthew that the repair of the watchers' transgression takes place.

Book Synopsis Ruth: A Story of God's Grace by : Cyril J. Barber
Download or read book Ruth: A Story of God's Grace written by Cyril J. Barber and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-10-07 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is nothing but God's grace. We walk upon it; we breathe it; we live and die by it; it makes the nails and axles of the universe," concluded Robert Louis Stevenson. In 'Ruth: A Story of God's Grace,' Cyril J. Barber trumpets God's grace. Grace leads Elimelech to Moab, brings Naomi back to Bethlehem, guides Ruth to Boaz's field, and directs Boaz to Ruth. "Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace" encircles the Book of Ruth. From the gracious acts of God Ruth's time, the author draws lessons for twentieth-century believers. He fathoms the importance of decision-making, the purpose of suffering, and the power of love. But the author does more than expound truths; he helps the reader understand the Bible text by explaining customs and word meanings. He also intersperses his own translation of Ruth throughout his commentary. Writing for the Bible student rather than the Bible scholar, Barber summarizes the Book of Ruth in a concise introduction, places all technical discussions and notes at the back, and provides two helpful indexes.

Download or read book Adoption and the Gospel written by Gerald D. Clark and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoption and The Gospel delivers sound biblical doctrine that most have never heard. One does not need to be a bible scholar to understand its message! Gerald Clark chronicles his struggle to overcome his traditional image of an orphanage, and how he learned from heart wrenching personal experiences with the children what they so desperately want and need. Six years working with children in an orphanage in the Philippines left Gerald and his wife seeking answers to difficult and very troubling questions. If God loves me, why am I an orphan? If you love me, why dont you adopt me? I kept asking myself , Whats wrong with this picture? No matter how much we love and care for children in an orphanage, theyre still orphans. Whats wrong with the picture is that we simply dont understand that children just dont want to BE orphans. Would we need more orphanages if Adoption was part of the Global Mission Strategy of every evangelical church in the world? Adoption says something about the Gospel and Gods love that no other word can say The Gospel is incomplete if it fails to include adoption Jesus came into the world to bring us a living example of Gods love, so that we might receive the adoption as sons! Galatians 4:4-5 As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12 The solution to the worlds orphan crisis is found in the bible. Adoption Ministry equips the church to accomplish the task, and God has called millions of families around the world who already want to adopt!

What do the Rabbis say Ruth teaches us about the celestial nature of Womanhood and why such is not only precious to God but intrinsic to heaven itself? What is the ancient Alef and why did he want a Beit? Why was the Mem both opened and closed? How did the Mem transform the Yud? What Does this say about men & women now and forever? What is the Order of Heaven and why does it mean both safety and power for God's Daughters? What is the Priesthood and why don't women hold it? What powers do women exercise on earth and in heaven? So what's in this short book of scripture that caused God to save it through the ages for you and I? A feast of heavenly knowledge! A Gospel Feast!

Book Synopsis The Gospel According to Flannery O'Connor by : Jordan Cofer
Download or read book The Gospel According to Flannery O'Connor written by Jordan Cofer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jordan Cofer examines the influence of the Bible upon Flannery O'Connor's fiction. While there are many studies exploring how her Catholicism affected her fiction, this book argues that O'Connor is heavily influenced by the Bible itself. Specifically, it explicates the largely undocumented ways in which she used the Bible as source material for her work. It also shows that, rhetorically, many of O'Connor's stories (and/or characters) are based upon biblical models. Furthermore, Cofer explains how O'Connor's stories engage their biblical analogues in unusual, unexpected, and sometimes grotesque ways, as her stories manage to convey essentially the same message as their biblical counterparts. Throughout O'Connor's work there are significant biblical allusions which have been neglected or previously undiscovered. This book acknowledges her biblical source material so readers can understand the impact it had on her fiction. Cofer argues that readers can better appreciate her work by examining how her stories are often grounded in specific biblical texts, which she similarly distorts, exaggerates, and subverts, in order to shock and teach readers. Simply put, O'Connor doesn't merely reference these biblical stories, she rewrites them.

This book was released on 2020-01-19 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a result of a joint conference, which was held from 18th-22nd July 2017 under the theme Religion, Citizenship and Development – Southern African Perspectives." The theme of the conference was adopted in order to underline the importance and significance of religion in the socio-economic development of people in the world generally and in Southern and Central Africa in particular. The papers in the book are divided into two volumes. Volume one consists of papers which directly discuss religion and development in one form or another. The second volume contains papers that discuss religion and other pertinent issues related to development. The papers are grouped into sub-themes for ease of reference. These include Citizenship and Development, Migration and Development, Disability and Development, Pentecostal Churches and Development and Religion and Society. All in all, despite a divergence of sub-themes in volume two, all point to issues to do with the role of religion in development in Southern and Central Africa today.
