Download or read book Images of the Divine: The Theology of Icons at the Seventh Ecumenical Council - Revised Edition written by Ambrosios Giakalis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, newly revised and updated, examines the Eastern Church's theology of icons chiefly on the basis of the acta of the Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787. The political circumstances leading to the outbreak of the iconclast controversy in the eighth century are discussed in detail, but the main emphasis is on the theological arguments and assumptions of the council participants. Major themes include the nature of tradition, the relationship between image and reality, and the place of christology. Ultimately the argument over icons was about the accessibility of the divine. Icons were held by the iconophiles to communicate a deifying grace which raised the believer to participation in the life of God.

The principal source is provided by the acta of the Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787." "The political circumstances which led to the outbreak of the controversy over icons are discussed in detail but the main emphasis is on the theological arguments and presuppositions of the participants in the council.

Download or read book Sacrificing the Church written by Eugene R. Schlesinger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a context of scandal and decline, the Christian church cannot afford to do business as usual. It must regain its bearings and clarify its nature and purpose. Sacrificing the Church provides this clarity by returning to the church’s foundation: Jesus Christ and him crucified. It presents an ecclesiological vision in which every aspect of the church’s life flows from and expresses the one sacrifice of Christ. This sacrifice is the basis of every ecclesial experience, the form and content of the church’s life, a life which shares in the eternal Trinitarian life of God. By and as Christ’s sacrifice we are introduced into the divine life. This participation plays out in three key areas, which set the church’s agenda in the contemporary world: its worship of God (Mass), mission to the world (mission), and efforts toward the unity of all people, beginning with divided Christians (ecumenism).

Download or read book At Home with God and in the World written by Philip Potter and published by World Council of Churches. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a pivotal figure in the ecumenical movement and in world Christianity during the last 50 years, Philip Potter brought charismatic personality, moral energy, and prophetic insight to his leadership of the World Council of Churches at a time of religious and socio-political turmoil. As an invaluable, historical, and theological resource, this anthology captures those qualities in the most complete collection of Potter's writings to date, highlighting his landmark speeches, preaching, and Bible studies. Ranging across Potter's core biblical and theological themes to his bracing cultural analysis and strong articulation of the imperatives of social justice, the 24 works collected here are religiously and prophetically rich. They also shed light on: the rapid development of the ecumenical movement in the post-War period; the newly globalized and post-colonial reality facing the churches from the 1960s onward; and the steep challenges posed to the churches - then and now - by race consciousness, the legacy of colonialism, the gender revolution, the nuclear threat, and geopolitical change. Along with extensive biographical materials and a photo gallery, the book includes a helpful bibliography of primary and secondary resources.

Download or read book John Calvin, Myth and Reality written by Amy N. Burnett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-05-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume were originally presented as papers at the 2009 colloquium of the Calvin Studies Society, held to mark the five-hundredth anniversary of John Calvin's birth. They offer a fresh evaluation of Calvin's ideas and achievements, and describe how others--from his contemporaries to the present--have responded to or built upon the Calvinist heritage. This book dispels popular misperceptions about Calvin and Calvinism, allowing readers to make a more accurate assessment of Calvin's importance as a theologian and historical figure. Contributions address areas in which Calvin's legacy has been most controversial or misunderstood, such as his attitude toward women, his advocacy of church discipline, and his understanding of predestination. These essays also give a nuanced picture of the impact of Calvinism by taking account of both the positive and negative reactions to it from the early modern period to the present.

Download or read book Reshaping Ecumenical Theology written by Paul Avis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reshaping Ecumenical Theology is a major contribution to the study of the Church. It provides clear and authoritative orientation for the student, while probing deep into a range of key issues in ecclesiology and ecumenical dialogue from a critical standpoint that will stimulate discussion among scholars and ecumenists. It reclaims some old orthodoxies, while challenging some new ones, and points to a deeper and more personal engagement with the major traditions of the Christian Church as the way to fuller unity and more effective mission. Reshaping Ecumenical Theology argues that the values of difference and diversity and the priority of mission and evangelisation must shape our picture of unity. It transcends old arguments about 'establishment', by showing that all churches are compelled to develop a constructive relationship to the modern state, wherever possible, if they are to be effective in mission. The central ecumenical notion of 'reception' is re-interpreted, not as the faithful unquestioningly receiving the teaching of church authorities, but as the process whereby the whole Church discerns the truth of new developments. The mantra 'baptism is complete sacramental initiation' is challenged, and the place of confirmation is secured within a total process of initiation. The ministry of the episcopate is affirmed, but only by being related to the gospel on which the Church is founded. The nature of communion is examined and the imperative of maintaining it against divisive tendencies is affirmed. 'The hermeneutics of unity' shows that we are shaped by each other through the conflict or rivalry of traditions: 'We are what we are because you are what you are'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of a century which saw the rise of a world-wide movement for church unity, many observers would say that ecumenism has fallen on hard times. Among the churches which have historically been the mainstay of the ecumenical movement, many face the new millennium with uncertainty about their own identity and mission. This challenging book by the former general secretary of the World Council of Churches weaves together concerns and hopes he has heard expressed by church leaders around the world, insights that have emerged from ecumenical reflection on the church and on the world, and biblical images of the nature of the Christian community. The author outlines a vision of how the dynamism of the movement towards a world-wide fellowship of churches and of its institutional expression in bodies like the World Council might be rekindled in the face of the daunting challenges of the years ahead.

This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers ecumenical essays that focus on Reformation Christianity and on current Lutheran-Catholic understandings and relationships.
