Par Hilaire. 2003
Théologien latin et Père de l'Eglise, Hilaire voit le jour à Poitiers, vers 315. Devenu évêque, il prit parti très…
tôt dans la lutte contre l'arianisme. Son opposition énergique à un certain nombre d'évêques pro-ariens lui vaudra d'être exilé en Phrygie, où il rédigea son principal ouvrage, Sur la Trinité. De retour à Poitiers vers la fin de 36o, il consacrera les dernières années de sa vie aux affaires de son diocèse et à l'étude de l'Écriture. L'œuvre d'Hilaire constitue un des grands moments de la théologie latine. Ce témoin important des premiers siècles du christianisme nous ramène à l'essentiel de la foi chrétienne : Dieu fait homme pour le salut de l'humanité.Né en 1090, Bernard entre à l'abbaye de Cîteaux en 1112.

Il a laissé de nombreux écrits, notamment son Traité de l'amour de Dieu, ses Sermons sur le Cantique des cantiques. Mort en 1153, canonisé en 1174 par Alexandre III. Docteur de l'Eglise.Sur le ton de la confidence, avec une totale liberté d'esprit, l'abbé Pierre livre ici, comme il ne l'avait jamais…

Par Mary Craig. 1998
Taktser, un village au nord-est du Tibet. En cet hiver 1937, des moines venus de Lhassa rendent visite à une…
famille de paysans. Ils sont porteurs d'une incroyable nouvelle : Lhamo Dondup, leur plus jeune fils âgé de deux ans, serait la réincarnation du treizième dalaï-lama. Les épreuves auxquelles ils soumettent l'enfant en apportent bientôt la confirmation.. Du jour au lendemain, la vie du garçonnet et celle de sa famille sont bouleversées. Pour ses proches, mais aussi pour des millions de bouddhistes dans le monde, il sera désormais « Sa Sainteté » ou « Kundun » (la Présence), un chef spirituel et politique dont chaque parole est accueillie comme un enseignement sacré.. De son enfance à la remise du prix Nobel de la Paix, en passant par l'invasion du Tibet par la Chine en 1951 et l'exil dans le nord de l'Inde, Mary Craig fait revivre l'épopée d'un homme et d'une famille dont les membres sont devenus des figures emblématiques.Petit manuel de la guérison intérieure (Spiritualites Grand Format Ser. #Vol. 6066146)

les preuves modernes de l'existence de Dieu. A partir de 1543 et durant trois siècles, des découvertes scientifiques ont remis en cause l'idée d'un dieu créateur. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, de nouvelles connaissances bouleversent à nouveau les certitudesThe case for miracles: A journalist investigates evidence for the supernatural
Par Lee Strobel. 2018
New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel trains his investigative sights on the hot-button question: is it really credible to…
believe God intervenes supernaturally in people's lives today? This provocative book starts with an unlikely interview in which America's foremost skeptic builds a seemingly persuasive case against the miraculous. But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think. What's more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don't happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn't he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, The Case for Miracles shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways. Here's a unique book that examines all sides of this issue and comes away with a passionate defense for God's divine action in lives today. Also available: The Case for Miracles Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student editionProphecy and Politics in South African Pentecostalism: A Pentecostal Political Theology in Postcolonial Africa
Par Mookgo Solomon Kgatle. 2023
This book is an interdisciplinary study of the relationship between prophecy and politics in South African Pentecostalism. The role and…
the power of prophecy in enhancing the presence of politicians in the church square are unpacked through historical examples, as well as case studies of contemporary prophets. Solomon Kgatle argues that the influence of prophecy in politics has the potential to weaken the prophetic voice of the church in general and the Pentecostal movement in particular. He proposes a Pentecostal political theology of prophecy. This theology is developed by taking into cognizance the theoretical and theological frameworks of prophetic imagination and pneumatological imagination. In addition, this theology seeks a balance between prophecy and power and prophecy and sovereignty.This book explores the early evangelical quest for enlightenment by the Spirit and the Word. While the pursuit originated in…
the Protestant Reformation, it assumed new forms in the long eighteenth-century context of the early Enlightenment and transatlantic awakened Protestant reform. This work illuminates these transformations by focusing on the dynamic intersection of experimental philosophy and experimental religion in the biblical practices of early America’s most influential Protestant theologians, Cotton Mather (1663-1728) and Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). As the first book-length project to treat Mather and Edwards together, this study makes an important contribution to the extensive scholarship on these figures, opening new perspectives on the continuities and complexities of colonial New England religion. It also provides new insights and interpretive interventions concerning the history of the Bible, early modern intellectual history, and evangelicalism’s complex relationship to the Enlightenment.Let My Nation Begin
Par Yosef Deutsch. 2023
A three-year-old boy, hiding from those who wish to kill him, looks up at the sky and discovers the Master…
of the Universe. His belief stands alone against the entire pagan world. As progenitor of the Jewish people, he will save all of humanity. Avraham Avinu’s life is an amazing story of trial and tribulation, of triumph against overwhelming odds. It combines the epitome of loving kindness with perfect faith and unwavering obedience to Hashem. Avraham’s strength in overcoming every ordeal was indelibly transmitted into the very being of his descendants ― the Jewish nation. Let My Nation Begin fills in the details, based on Talmudic and Midrashic sources and works of Rishonim and Acharonim throughout the millennia. His tenth volume in the Let My Nation series, Rabbi Yosef Deutsch enthralls with his trademark drama, humor, and attention to facts. Nimrod’s fiery furnace, the war against the Alliance of the Four Kings, the Akeidah ― read about Avraham’s ten tests as if you were there, and learn the secret of our nation’s great beginning.St. Benedict's Toolbox: The Nuts and Bolts of Everyday Benedictine Living
Par Jane Tomaine. 2005
When St. Benedict formed his first small community of monks at Monte Cassino on the hilltop, Italy--and much of Europe--was…
ravaged by war. The Roman Empire was breaking apart, and politics, cultural life, and even the Church, were all in disarray. In the midst of these tumultuous times, Benedict offered his followers a “little rule,” a guide about the size of a checkbook, that showed his monks the way to peace as they learned to prefer Christ above all things. Though it was written nearly 1500 years ago, the Rule of Benedict still offers the practical tools for living a Christ-centered today. Here in St. Benedict’s Toolbox, readers will find a primer on how to use these tools in their own tumultuous lives. Each chapter examines one aspect of the Rule, from ways of praying to ways of embracing humility, and offers suggestions for prayer, reflection, journaling, and action. As they learn to use Benedict’s tools, readers will discover the power--and the timeliness--of this ancient way of life.The Christian Universe
Par E. L. Mascall, Eric Mascall. 1966
The Christian Universe is an unabashed defense of Christianity against the unbelief and indifference of our age: all who would…
deny human freedom and responsibility; all who would maintain that life and existence are meaningless; and all who (under whatever banner) would persuade us that the secular is all in all, or that nothing beyond our own immediate empirical world can be known. Under Mascall’s lens, those who hold such positions are seen as offering a dreary and impoverished universe, “quite incapable of satisfying our needs and aspirations.” In contrast, he upholds “the wonder and glory of Christianity,” its unique revelation and reconciliation with God as the heart of the cosmic process, and its faith not a defiance or negation of the world, but an affirmation that there is meaning to the world.The Triune Identity: God According to the Gospel
Par Robert W. Jenson. 2002
This book presents a bold venture in theology, combining a presentation, explanation, analysis, and reinterpretation of trinitarian language. Rejecting the…
assumption that traditional trinitarian discourse is useless in an age of cults and sects, Jenson points to a profound and provocative renewal of trinitarian piety and reflection understood as a remedy for spiritual desolation and powerlessness. Proceeding on the premise that any radical analysis of the formula "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" must work from biblical statements, Jenson investigates the significance of two biblical identifications of God: "God is whoever freed us from Egypt" and "God is whoever raised Jesus from the dead." In opposition to the notion that God is to be understood simply as timeless being, Jenson shows how the memory of God's acts and the presence of God in Christ leads to a hope for the future based on the promise of the Spirit.Moon Scotland: Highland Road Trips, Outdoor Adventures, Pubs and Castles (Travel Guide)
