Download or read book Theology and Spirituality of the Psalms of Ascents, The written by Gregory, Bradley C. and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteen Psalms of Ascents (Psalms 120–134) are an important collection within the Psalms that focuses on the journey towards the presence of God, a God who is at once the “maker of heaven and earth” but also encountered in a particular place and among a particular people. This book explores their rich imagery to show how they nourish a hopeful search for God’s presence in a world that includes crises and hostility, not only in the world but tragically also within the people of God. The Psalms of Ascents are a summons to a spirituality for priest and people, the powerful and the marginalized, for anyone suspended between struggle and hope on the journey towards God. While this book gives readers a focused discussion on the theology and spirituality of these psalms, it also explores their role in the whole canon of Christian Scripture. As such, the book provides a resource for studying, teaching, and preaching these fifteen Psalms, but can also serve as an entryway into the rest of the book of Psalms.

His key insight is to look at the Psalms of Ascent as a map or template of the spiritual life. Though rooted in the experience of the people of Israel, these Psalms also resonate today for anyone seeking deeper spiritual knowledge.

They explore themes of isolation, journey, arrival, second thoughts, fruitfulness, recurrent despair, hope, and unity. In each chapter, Dr. Long provides both detailed examination of the language of one of the Psalms as well as a "Psalm in a Nutshell" that gives you its major point.

Book Synopsis Longing for Home by : J. Stephen Yuille
Download or read book Longing for Home written by J. Stephen Yuille and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we're on a journey fraught with joys and sorrows, pleasant valleys and perilous mountains, encouraging gains and crippling losses. Whenever we feel besieged on our journey, we tend to turn to whatever we think can help us "¬‚¬" and in doing so, often lose sight of our destination. In Longing for Home, Stephen Yuille directs our attention to the help God has given us in the Psalms of Ascent. In this collection of Psalms 120-134, we walk with our brothers and sisters through life's many ups and downs on our way to Zion, the city of God. The Psalms guide us into the path of God-glorifying desires, God-magnifying emotions, and God-honoring thoughts. They shape our perspectives, equip us to pray in faith, regulate our feelings, inform our judgments and beckon us to fix our eyes heavenward as we journey homeward.

Download or read book Up to Jerusalem written by Norman Lindsay and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we read the Psalms from Book V, which contains Psalms 107-150, we encounter the section including chapters 120-134, every one of which is designated "A Psalm of Ascents." Each Psalm marks a milestone in our spiritual journey. This series of 15 Psalms was written as marching songs the early citizens of Israel would recite as they made their way to Jerusalem for the annual religious festivals. These chapters are likely entitled in your Bible as Psalms of Ascent. You should be aware that Jerusalem is geographically elevated above the surrounding region. It is the highest point in the land. Therefore, no matter from whence one travels, he goes up to Jerusalem. Hence, the title: Psalms of Ascent. As we make this journey together up to our spiritual Jerusalem, my prayer is that you find yourself encouraged and strengthened for the journey. Furthermore, may you grow in your relationship with your Heavenly Father in the process.

Book Synopsis Songs for the Journey by : Katherine Johnson
Download or read book Songs for the Journey written by Katherine Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all pilgrims on a journey as we walk with God and live out our faith as disciples of His Son, Jesus Christ. The Psalms of Ascent (Ps 120-134) are a wonderful gift to the Church because they allow us to pray along with the original pilgrims as they journeyed upward to Jerusalem toward their literal and spiritual goal of encountering God. As we pray through these psalms, we are encouraged to honestly express our thoughts and feelings that we experience during the highs and lows of our own spiritual pilgrimage. At the same time, we are enveloped in a sense of the Psalmists' deep trust in the faithfulness of God. It is helpful to know that we are not alone in our struggles and joys. As we immerse ourselves in the Word of God and ask him to speak to us, we are under-girded by the faith of those who have gone before us.This Prayer Guide is designed to be a practical, hands-on tool to facilitate the practice of praying with Scripture. A brief explanation of this kind of prayer is followed by a journal-style guide which gives the reader opportunity to pray with carefully selected short Scripture passages.
Download or read book Grasping Emotions written by Ute E. Eisen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotions have increasingly attracted the attention of the sciences and academia. The topic is all the more timely since we have witnessed a global trend towards highly emotionalized discourses across societies and religions. Discourses are less guided by rational arguments and “facts”. Instead, narratives, sometimes manipulative, influence the thoughts and activi-ties of our societies. In this context, the authoritative texts of the monotheistic religions are experiencing a renaissance. Tanach, Bible and Qur’an do not only “emotionalize”, they also offer ancient concepts of emotions which affect the present. This book brings the interdependencies of antiquity and (post)modernity into an interdisci-plinary discussion. How should we understand feelings at all? This book explores the ap-proaches to emotions as portrayed and understood in various sources and disciplines. The contributors share their perspectives on methodological questions concerning research on the emotions. Scholars in religious studies and theology from different traditions—Jewish, Christian, Islamic—enter into dialogue with other disciplines, such as psychology, literary studies, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, and historiography.

Book excerpt: This Cambridge Companion offers an up-to-date and accessible guide to the fast-changing discipline of biblical studies.

The volume reflects the diversity and globalized character of biblical interpretation in which neat boundaries between author-focused, text-focused, and reader-focused approaches are blurred. The significant space devoted to the reception of the Bible – in art, literature, liturgy, and religious practice – also blurs the distinction between professional and popular biblical interpretation. The volume provides an ideal introduction to the various ways that scholars are currently interpreting the Bible. It offers both beginning and advanced students an understanding of the state of biblical interpretation, and how to explore each topic in greater depth.
