The Dove Descending
For The Dove Descending, a collection of eminent theologians, poets, priests and thinkers came together to consider the immersive, irreducible vision of the Holy Spirit and His presence in Christ, the Scriptures, the Church, the Saints, the Father, and the world. The collected articles from the Pusey House Conference 2022 draw from a rich history of theological and literary figures - from Augustine of Hippo to Hans Urs von Balthasar, from John Milton to T.S. Eliot - whilst continually centring vigorous and incisive scriptural analysis. Crystalising around the third article of the creed, the communion of the Holy Spirit, these articles explore the centrality of the sacraments, the necessity of yielding any possession of the spirit, and the recognition of Christ in the Holy Spirit, and, through Him, in the other. These papers, published here for the first time, are a crucial read for any academic, theologian or curious Christian, illuminating the complexity in envisioning the Spirit alongside the hope for the future His presence represents.
The Age of the Archangel Michael
Emil Bock, one of the founders of The Christian Community, was well known for his lectures on the age of the archangel Michael. This idea, found in the work of Rudolf Steiner, describes how periods in human history are guided in turn by seven archangels, with each period lasting for around 350 years. Since the end of the eighteenth century this responsibility has passed to the archangel Michael. This engaging book brings together seventeen of Bock's lectures, most of which are presented for the first time in English. In them he discusses the challenges facing humanity in the age of Michael: the need to develop greater selflessness, to cultivate a broader and more inclusive view of humanity, and the importance of spiritualising our thinking in order to deepen our relationship to Christ. Spanning the period from 1923 to 1957, the lectures reflect the difficulties faced by The Christian Community before and after the Second World War, and Bock's efforts to awaken in his audience courage and confidence in the true spirit of the age. Their significance, however, extends beyond their historical context and speaks to many of the same challenges that we face today. This book will appeal to those who wish to know more about the enigmatic figure of the archangel Michael and his role in humanity's development.
Prophecy in Politics
A useful guide to thinking about the past and present condition of prophecy. Few people remember Ralph Wigram. If he is known at all, it is as the Foreign Office official who warned Winston Churchill of the Nazi threat with such persistence, conviction, and hard evidence that Churchill had the wherewithal to make his case to the British people. Prophets like Wigram are a fixture of a world without certainty. Oracles and fortune-tellers populate our myths and holy texts, and modern life is not short of forecasters, intelligence analysts, and threat-mongers. So how can we, and our leaders, know whose warnings to hee? educing the well-worn subject of predicting the future to its most essential aspects, Weisbrode revisits significant incidents of prophecy, from Stalin’s dismissal of the warnings of German invasion to those given to successive US presidents about the terrorist threat in the years preceding 9/11. This idiosyncratic guide considers the past and present condition of prophecy, uncovering patterns of fear, complacency, and neglect.

Political Theology and Islam
Paul L. Heck's Political Theology and Islam offers a sophisticated and comprehensive analysis of sovereignty in Islamic society, beginning with the origins of Islam and extending to the present. This wide-ranging study sets out to answer an unassumingly tricky question: What is politics in Islam? Paul L. Heck's answer takes the form of a close analysis of sovereignty across Islamic history, approaching this concept from the perspective of political theology. As he illustrates, the history of politics in Islam is best understood as an ongoing struggle for a moral order between those who occupy positions of rulership and religious voices that communicate the ethics of Islam and educate the public in their religious and moral devotions. In this sense, sovereignty in Islam is split between ruling powers and pious communities, whose interactions range from close cooperation to outright competition. Heck shows that it is precisely through these interactions that Islamic conceptions of sovereignty are constructed and negotiated. Political Theology and Islam's first section spells out the concepts and methods for the study of politics in Islam as a struggle for a moral order, one not only involving varied claims to sovereignty but also a general determination to realize the righteousness of Islam that stands at the heart of the message that the Prophet Muhammad conveyed to his society in seventh-century Arabia. The following sections demonstrate, through examples from both the past and today's worldwide Muslim community, the diverse ways in which the umma, the community of Muslims, has struggled for a moral order that recalls its prophetic message. Deftly moving in various political theaters and through a wide range of intellectual traditions, Heck's book will emerge as a touchstone of scholarship in the field of Muslim politics and intellectual thought.
Conjuring the Arab Magician
This Element reassesses narratives of intercultural transmission in medieval European magic, highlighting complex processes of compilation and attribution often obscured by broad labels. Following an Introduction that lays out the methodological framework, Section 1 ('The Wise Saracens') explores a medieval Christian magician's depiction of Islam and the figure of the Arab magician, illustrating how authors blended genuine intercultural exchanges with imaginative attributions. Section 2 ('The Seven Names') reconsiders a Latin magical text traditionally labeled 'Arabic magic,' demonstrating that its complex, multicultural components resist any simple claims of a lost Arabic original. Section 3 ('The Almandel Problem') presents another contested text, showing how philological evidence often complicates a linear model of transmission. Finally, this volume offers a complete edition and translation of The Book of Seven Names, discussed in Section 2.
Existuje Boh, v ktorého verím?
Ako je možné, že jeden verí v Boha a veci sa mu v živote pekne ukladajú, a druhý verí, a takmer nič mu nevychádza? Prečo sa niekto modlí, a nevie sa vymaniť zo sietí, do ktorých sa zamotal, a iný sa modlí a dokáže pred nimi uniknúť? Čo je to za vieru, ktorá niekoho premieňa k dobrému a iného nezmení?
Nie je viera ako viera… Na stránkach najnovšieho knižného titulu z edície Viera do vrecka s názvom Existuje Boh, v ktorého verím? nájdeme niekoľko obrazov Boha, ktorého človek nosí v hlave, a vôbec nevie o tom, že je to iba fikcia, výmysel. Môžeme však spoznať aj Boha, ktorý túži po vzťahu s človekom, aby mu daroval účasť na svojom živote a premieňal ho na svojho syna, dcéru. Samozrejme, ak to človek chce.

Called Back to Who You Are
No matter what your story is, God wants to heal you, make you whole, and call you into your true identity.Has your relationship with God ever felt confusing, isolating, bitter, distant, or just plain nonexistent? How would it change your life if you believed--truly believed--that the God of the universe is running after you? Full speed. And he will never, ever stop.Though life can sometimes appear bleak, there are a thousand different ways God is moving even if you can''t see it.

John Calvin, Refugee Theologian
This book offers a robust introduction to John Calvin''s writings through the lens of his experience as a religious refugee.Calvin knew about persecution and political exile from personal experience. He lived as an exiled fugitive engaged in pastoral ministry to a church that included large numbers of immigrants and refugees. Calvin''s teaching also addressed an international community experiencing religious violence and displacement in his day. In this engaging book, Kenneth Woo demonstrates how Calvin sought to make the comfort he found in God accessible to others through sermons, commentaries, letters, polemical treatises, and his magisterial Institutes. In his distinct-yet-inseparable roles as teacher, pastor, and polemicist, the reformer adapted his message of hope in exile to diverse audiences. Woo shows how Calvin''s theology is an example of Reformed Christianity''s refugee roots and history of pastoral care from the margins. And in a brief conclusion, he offers reflections on what a greater awareness of Calvin as refugee theologian could mean for those engaging his theology today.John Calvin, Refugee Theologian helps students read Calvin for themselves, attuned to how his theology reflected dynamics of religious violence and migration in his day, making this book especially useful for undergraduate and seminary classes on Calvin, the Reformation, and the history of Christianity. It will also appeal to pastors and Christian educators.
Worlds of Islam
From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age.
Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice.
As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.
The Book of Job
Why does God allow human suffering? For thousands of years, the profoundly moving story of Job has allowed people of faith to reflect on that question. Job is a righteous man, stripped of all he holds dear, who engages in a powerful dialogue with his friends on the nature and cause of suffering. Job’s friends struggle to justify Job’s suffering, determined to find fault with Job rather than God. Job counters their arguments and then turns his attention to God in a desperate plea for justice. When God’s answer comes from the whirlwind, it is not what we expect. Biblical scholar Kathleen O’Connor serves as an insightful guide in this exploration of innocent suffering, divine silence, and the human quest for understanding. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included.6 lessons.

Catholicism: End or Beginning?
Publication in 1968 of The Church and the Second Sex turned Mary Daly into a leading – arguably the first – Catholic feminist theologian. She then, in 1972, preached an incendiary sermon at Harvard Memorial Church, 'left behind centuries of darkness,' as she put it, and walked out of patriarchal religion. Daly next established herself, with Beyond God the Father (1973), as a post-Christian feminist philosopher. In between these trailblazing writings, she began to draft another book entitled Catholicism: End or Beginning? In the moment that she abandoned the text, she also seemingly renounced the institutional Roman Catholic Church. This volume comprises that lost, unfinished manuscript – remarkably rediscovered – augmented by complementary chapters from six preeminent feminist writers. Though partial, it completes the corpus of an iconic figure in radical liberationist and Catholic thought, delving deep into the mind of a woman who dared to leap into uncharted territories of faith and philosophical imagination.
Learning the Language of Creation
A vision for realizing the promise of integral ecology and putting it into practice. In his landmark encyclical on care for creation, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis popularized the idea of integral ecology by connecting contemporary ecological concerns and church teachings on creation addressed by Catholic Social Thought. In Learning the Language of Creation, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.

British Choral Singing
Charts choral traditions in Britain, evolution, sociological composition, engagement with and place within cathedrals and secular spaces. Choirs are living organisms and ever changing. This book tells the story of British choral singing (not choral music) and deals with both sacred and secular choirs and institutions from the medieval era through to the Covid pandemic and its aftermath. A series of different choral traditions has emerged over the centuries. The oldest is that of the all-male cathedral choir, while the secular choral society evolved from the eighteenth century onwards. Although there are many histories of individual cathedrals and choral societies, this is the first general history of British choral traditions. While English matters predominate, those of Scotland, Wales and Ireland are also considered. Even though British choral traditions have penetrated many parts of the world, there has also been much cross-fertilization of late with the rich choral cultures of other nations in Europe and beyond. Choral singing inevitably involved matters of social class, and a much more nuanced story is told here than the current view of choirs as being a largely middle-class phenomenon might suggest. Scholarly in method while highly readable, the book offers invaluable background to choral practitioners. When choral activity is reviving healthily after the Covid 19 pandemic, such a volume appears timely, reminding the reader of the essentially communal and social nature of the choral experience.
