Book Synopsis Following Zwingli by : Luca Baschera
Download or read book Following Zwingli written by Luca Baschera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Zwingli explores history, scholarship, and memory in Reformation Zurich. The humanist culture of this city was shaped by a remarkable sodality of scholars, many of whom had been associated with Erasmus. In creating a new Christian order, Zwingli and his colleagues sought biblical, historical, literary, and political models to shape and defend their radical reforms. After Zwingli’s sudden death, the next generation was committed to the institutional and intellectual establishment of the Reformation through ongoing dialogue with the past. The essays of this volume examine the immediacy of antiquity, early Christianity, and the Middle Ages for the Zurich reformers. Their reading and appropriation of history was no mere rhetorical exercise or polemical defence. The Bible, theology, church institutions, pedagogy, and humanist scholarship were the lifeblood of the Reformation. But their appropriation depended on the interplay of past ideals with the pressing demands of a sixteenth-century reform movement troubled by internal dissention and constantly under attack. This book focuses on Zwingli’s successors and on their interpretations of the recent and distant past: the choices they made, and why. How those pasts spoke to the present and how they were heard tell us a great deal not only about the distinctive nature of Zurich and Zwinglianism, but also about locality, history, and religious change in the European Reformation.

Book Synopsis The Eucharist in the Reformation by : Lee Palmer Wandel
Download or read book The Eucharist in the Reformation written by Lee Palmer Wandel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eucharist in the Reformation: Incarnation and Liturgy takes up the words, 'this is my body', 'this do', and 'remembrance of me' that divided Christendom in the sixteenth century. It traces the different understandings of these simple words and the consequences of those divergent understandings in the delineation of the Lutheran, Reformed, and Catholic traditions: the different formulations of liturgy with their different conceptualizations of the cognitive and collective function of ritual; the different conceptualizations of the relationship between Christ and the living body of the faithful; the different articulations of the relationship between the world of matter and divinity; and the different epistemologies. It argues that the incarnation is at the center of the story of the Reformation and suggests how divergent religious identities were formed.

Book Synopsis I Am With You Always by : Benedict C.F.R. Groeschel
Download or read book I Am With You Always written by Benedict C.F.R. Groeschel and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Study of the History and Meaning of Personal Devotion to Jesus Christ for Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christians The devotional life of Christians over the two millennia since Jesus' birth has been one of motion, changing and growing in response to the challenges presented to the Church, the temperaments of newly baptized nations, and controversies about how we can and should relate to God. And yet the core of authentic Christian devotion has not changed-it remains today, as it was in the time of the Church Fathers, the trusting and personal encounter with Christ that is both open and foundational to the life of all Christian believers. In this book the well-known spiritual writer and teacher Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C. F. R., surveys the development and trials of Christian devotion from the days of the martyrs until the twentieth century. Tracking it through the centuries and among "sadly divided branches of Christianity", he finds a commonality of experience and even of language that is constantly ignored among Christians themselves. By observing what "image of Christ" the canvas of common devotion portrays, he hopes we will move "not to discredit this image, but to sharpen it and make it more consistent with the New Testament and the ancient Church". Though the devotional life is sometimes brushed off as unimportant in comparison to a theological understanding of Christ, Groeschel warns that such dismissal threatens to make distant, unknown and obscure the Savior who said "I am with you always." The answer instead is to draw near to Jesus in devotion and with authentic expressions of that devotion, which themselves help paint the image of Christ found concretely in revelation onto the minds and daily life of the devout. Begun on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and the result of years of preparation and a whole life of guiding people as priest, public preacher, psychologist and spiritual director, this book will help Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant believers gain not only a comprehensive view of how pious Christians over the centuries have lived out their devotion to God, but the examples and perspective they need to live more devoutly today.

Book Synopsis Puritan Devotion by : Gordon S. Wakefield
Download or read book Puritan Devotion written by Gordon S. Wakefield and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable debt of all Christian people to the Puritan movement is one that it would be difficult to overestimate. For many, the word "Puritan" is the symbol of narrowness and ultra-godliness; however, less-prejudiced research makes it evident that England, and the world, owes much to the integrity, devotion, and spiritual power of men and women who stood for the things of God in a political atmosphere perhaps even more confused and difficult than our own. The similarity of outlook that exists between John Wesley and the Quakers is something that has often been remarked; and there will be great interest, both for the historian (religious and political) and for the ordinary reader, in following the guidance of Gordon S. Wakefield, one of Methodism's younger scholars, as he adduces the evidence which he brings together from many different fields.
