Mám naději, že díky tomuto počinu si někteří moji mladší přátelé možná poprvé v životě dobrovolně pročtou evangelia – a třeba časem objeví krásu a hloubku Božího slova v solidním překladu. Ale i kdyby ne, studium Mega dobré zprávy v rodinách, kdy se rodiče a prarodiče nechají pokorně poučovat a osvěcovat od svých teenagerů, může přinést spoustu legrace i cenné mezigenerační sblížení. (z úvodu autora) Pavel Helan (nar. 1979 v Brně) vystudoval krajinné inženýrství na VŠ lesnické, ale stal se z něj oblíbený písničkář a občas i „bavič“ či moderátor společenských akcí. Koncertuje po celé České republice i na Slovensku a mívá velmi různorodé publikum: poslouchají ho snad všechny generace, od dětí až po seniory. Překlad vybraných příběhů z evangelií do jazyka generace Z je jeho literární prvotinou.

From the bestselling author of Hillbilly Elegy – an intimate account of why Vice President JD Vance strayed from the Christianity of his youth and what led him back to faith. Communion is a spiritual exploration of what it means to be a Christian in all the seasons of life JD Vance has experienced – as a child, a young man, a husband, a father and a leader. Picking up in some ways where Hillbilly Elegy left off, Communion recounts how Vance's pursuit of material privileges ultimately led him into a secular wilderness. Communion reveals how Vance regained his faith and discusses his conversion to Catholicism, how his faith guides his work in public life, and how it shapes his thoughts about the future.

The book explores the social, cultural, and religious history of the Tamang, an indigenous ethnic community primarily found in Nepal, with significant populations in India and other countries. The Tamang are known for their rich cultural heritage, language, and traditions. They practice Bon, the ancient religion of Tibet, and Lamaist Buddhism, embodying values from both belief systems. This Tamang tribe, part of the Tibeto-Mongoloid stock, is considered socially and culturally primitive. However, due to the lack of a written script, there is limited historical evidence to reconstruct the history of the Tamang community. Despite this scarcity of recorded information, the Tamang has a wealth of alternative sources such as folklore, folktales, songs, genealogical stories, and some Buddhist accounts. Some of the best examples of these alternative sources come from the roles of Tamba and Ganba.

Všetkému, čo mi ocko hovoril, som verila až do okamihu, keď som vošla do supermarketu Walmart a uvidela svoju fotku na nástenke…“ Odkedy si June Bug pamätá, brázdia s otcom krajinu v otlčenom karavane a často nocujú na parkoviskách supermarketov Walmart. Jedného dňa jej pri vstupe do predajne padne pohľad na plagát s fotografiami nezvestných detí, na ktorom s prekvapením spozná samu seba. Tento objav odštartuje pátranie po pravde o jej otcovi, o matke, ktorú otec takmer nespomína, a v konečnom dôsledku aj o nej samej. Keď ich dobehne otcova minulosť, okolnosti ich kľukatými cestičkami zavedú späť do Dogwoodu v Západnej Virgínii, kde sa ich životy navždy zmenia.

A remarkable interrogation of the corporeality of the divine undertaken by a renowned philosopher/theologianDoes God appear "in flesh and bones," that is to say, "made of flesh and bones"? Or is the resur­rected Christ’s appearance simply "in person"? These questions, which might appear inconsequential at first sight, obsessed the Fathers of the church and medieval scholars, but are neglected nowadays. Perhaps we no longer dare to ask them to ourselves. The Flesh of God attempts to return to what Paul Ricoeur calls a "second naïveté," analyzing important questions concerning the Resurrection and trying to face head-on the problem of the embodiment of the divine.This book retraces a philosophical triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday) but also highlights the crucial and neglected topic of Holy Saturday. It emphasizes that Christianity can no longer sustain itself by forgetting the organic and disregarding the soul. Far from getting bogged down in questions of boundaries, or erecting barriers, we come back in the book to find­ing out how we can "cross the Rubicon" between philosophy and theology. The confrontation of these disciplines and their different fields can revitalize thought and faith, for those who feel the importance of sharing it.

Meditating God’s Way: A Christian Path to Strength and Resilience is a roadmap for people who are searching for tools that build strength and resilience. Originally adapted from Reclaiming the Art of Biblical Meditation and The Strength You Need Morgan identifies key passages from Scripture to help believer’s face life’s challenges and practical instruction on how to get the most out of biblical meditation. Morgan’s approach connects each of these passages to real-life scenarios, offering practical and spiritual encouragement for Christians seeking to rely on God’s strength in every aspect of their lives. Each strength addresses pressing issues that many people face today, making them deeply relevant and impactful.“Imagine a university where the library is open only on moonless nights and all lights are prohibited. The students have access to all the books, desks, and study carrels, but they must pursue their studies in total blackness. Expensive volumes fill the reading rooms—some of them rare and valuable. Students are free to move among the bookshelves and remove any resources they want. But everything is done in darkness—no lamps, no candles, no flashlights, no light of any kind. Total blackout. That’s a pretty accurate picture of a world trying to learn, trying to think, and trying to meditate without the light of the life of Christ.” --Robert Morgan, from Chapter One.This book is perfect for:Christians seeking mental and emotional resilience tools within a Scriptural framework.Readers of Christian self-help or personal growth genres who are open to philosophical influences.Young professionals and leaders balancing faith and high-stress lives.Counselors and ministry leaders looking for resources to address the mental health needs of their communities through faith-aligned practices.

Vydanie obsahuje označenie jednotlivých biblických kníh - praktické palcové indexátory, ktoré umožnia rýchle vyhľadanie príslušnej knihy. V skromnom zozname slovenských katolíckych prekladov Biblie má preklad Antona Boteka výnimočné miesto. Autor na ňom pracoval s cieľom priblížiť biblické texty moderným jazykom. Ten je prvým krokom k lepšiemu porozumeniu neraz neľahkých textov pochádzajúcich z čias od ktorých nás delia dve tisícročia, ba i viac. Okrem zrozumiteľnosti jazyka je obrovskou prednosťou tohto vydania jeho doplnenie úvodmi, komentármi a margináliami Jeruzalemskej Biblie. Jeruzalemská Biblia je preklad Svätého písma do francúzštiny, ktorý vznikol vďaka mnohoročnému úsiliu Jeruzalemskej biblickej školy, ktorú vedú dominikáni. Vynikajúci biblisti zhromaždili všetky dostupné historické, archeologické, lingvistické a ďalšie relevantné poznatky, ktoré im umožnili napísať ku každej knihe Svätého písma hodnotný úvod. Vďaka týmto úvodom čitateľ vopred spozná základné posolstvo tej-ktorej knihy, historické pozadie jej vzniku, obsahovú štruktúru, jej začlenenie do celkovej štruktúry Svätého písma. Úvod teda vytvára prvotný predpoklad pre správne vnímanie a porozumenie obsahu knihy. Ďalšou špecialitou Jeruzalemskej Biblie sú marginálne odkazy. Na okraji textu nášho vydania sú umiestnené značky biblických kníh s číslom kapitoly a číslom verša. Je to vynikajúca pomôcka, vďaka ktorej sa priamo pri čítaní textu dá nájsť iné miesto v Biblii, ktoré reflektuje tú istú udalosť, na ktorom sa hovorí o tom istom probléme, kde je použitý rovnaký obraz. Ak je takýto marginálny odkaz doplnený znamienkom +, znamená to, že poznámka k označenej pasáži vysvetľuje aj text, pri ktorom sa odkaz nachádza. Moderný jazyk Botekovho prekladu a vynikajúci pomocný aparát Jeruzalemskej Biblie s jeho úvodmi, komentármi a margináliami robia z tohto vydania Svätého písma spoľahlivý zdroj svetla, inšpirácie, duchovného povzbudenia a oporu v duchovnom raste pre každého, kto sa podujme pravidelne brať Sväté písmo do rúk a čítať ho.

The Hebrew word hesed is often translated as love, faithfulness, loyalty, or steadfastness of God, but it means so much more. Could hesed be the seed from which the diverse biblical story grows and expand? raditionally, Old Testament theology has focused on key themes or a "center" around which to organize the Old Testament. These approaches may help unify the Old Testament, but they also ignore important material and simplify the Old Testament's complexity and diversity. As an alternative to a gravitational center that reduces, Jennifer M. Matheny's argument emphasizes possibilities as she posits that hesed is the relational seed from which the complex and diverse biblical story grows. In her accessibly written analysis, Matheny engages theologically with the Torah, Prophets, and Writings to trace hesed's relational impact through the Old Testament. Through stories, poems, and songs of broken covenants, war, and exile, Matheny also shows how violence and injustice reign when humanity fails to be keepers and doers of Yhwh's hesed, while justice and hope prevail when humanity chooses courageous acts of hesed. This fresh, introductory-level approach emphasizes the importance of story, complexity, and diversity--and how we do hesed to others and back to Yhwh.

In Why Souls? A Mirror to the Universe, author Joshua R. Farris carefully examines some of the best-laid arguments for the soul, ultimately advancing his own, claiming that embracing the concept of the soul allows for a more coherent and satisfying explanation of human consciousness and personal identity. By bringing together philosophical reflection and scientific inquiry to argue that the soul is a vital part of understanding human consciousness, Why Soul? s a balanced exploration of our ensouled nature and what that means for the universe in which we live.

The Goddess Idunn (also ? nn, Idun, Idunna) is commonly known as the Goddess of youth and custodian of the Apples of Immortality -?the apples that grant the Gods of the Norse pantheon continued renewal and eternal youth. Her best known, and only, myth details how she was abducted by a giant and how the Gods fought hard to retrieve her (and her much-needed apples). Beyond this, one must dig very deep to excavate any further information about her. This introductory book outlines everything we know about Idunn from historical sources, as well as what we -?her modern devotees -?have learnt from experiencing her in the modern day.

Cairo's synagogues shed new light on the transformation Egyptian society and its Jewish community underwent from 1875 to the presentSacred Places Tell Tales is the previously untold history of Egyptian Jewry and the ways in which Cairo's synagogues historically functioned as active institutions in the social lives of these Jews. Historian Yoram Meital interprets Cairo's synagogues as exquisite storytellers. The synagogues still stand in Cairo, and they shed new light on the social, cultural, and political processes that Egyptian society and the Jews underwent from 1875 to the present. Studying old and new synagogues in the Egyptian capital, their locations, the items they stored, and the range of religious and nonreligious activities they hosted reveals the social heterogeneity and the diverse ways in which modern Jewish sociocultural identity was constructed within Cairo's Sephardi, Ashkenazi, and Karaite communities. Meital contends that studying the congregations and the social services provided in synagogues reveals the local Jewish community's customs, cultural preferences, socioeconomic gaps, and class divisions.Sacred Places Tell Tales narrates not only the past but also the unprecedented transformations that have occurred in recent years in Egypt. While only a handful of Jews live in Egypt, the preservation of Jewish heritage, first and foremost synagogues and cemeteries, enjoy a growing interest in public discourse and popular culture. This new desire to preserve Jewish heritage is inseparable from the ongoing public debate about Egyptian society, its characteristics, and its identity, past and present. By contextualizing Jewish heritage preservation in a longer Egyptian and Jewish history, Meital opens a window into one of the most significant political discussions dividing Egyptian society today.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringSince its beginnings during the Protestant Reformation, Calvinism has spread throughout Europe and America and eventually to Africa and Asia. Today it is one of the largest schools of thought in Protestantism. In this Very Short Introduction, Jon Balserak explores how Calvinist ideas and practices arose, spread, and took root. Considering its influence on modern thought on everything from theology to money, politics, and the arts, Balserak also combats some of the common misconceptions about Calvinism, and outlines the Calvinist understanding of God, the world, humankind, and the meaning of life. He also addresses Calvinism in a twenty-first century context and considers the challenges it faces today.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringHow has Judaism changed since the days of the Bible? What sects and divisions does it have, and how does it respond to the challenges of modernity? How does the secular state of Israel resolve the conflicts of ‘Church’ and stat? n this Very Short Introduction, Norman Solomon explores Judaism as a religion and as a way of life, including its festivals, prayers, customs, and sects.

Together with its sequel The Dividing of Christendom, this book was the fruit of the Harvard lectures that Christopher Dawson delivered as the first occupant of the Charles Chauncey Stillman Chair of Roman Catholic Studies from 1958-1962. Here, as in all his works, he sees religion as the dynamic element of culture. This work traces the formation of Christian culture from its roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition through the rise and fall of medieval Christendom, and ends with an epilogue in which the author reflects on the defining characteristics of Christianity in general and the Catholic Church in particular. In the introductory section of this work, Dawson highlights the importance of language in the origin and development of civilization. Christina Scott, the author’s daughter and first biographer, summarises Dawson’s ideas on this point in her work A Historian and his World: "In the beginning was the word: language was the gateway to the human world and was the single factor that distinguished man from the animal kingdom." Language, as Dawson wrote, "enables man to think, to create a new world of imagination and reason." In parts two and three Dawson traces the beginnings of Christian culture in the first centuries after Christ through to the decline of medieval unity. Some of the tantalizing chapter headings include The Christian and Jewish Idea of Revelation, The Foundation of Europe: The Monks of the West, The Carolingian Age, Feudal Europe and the Age of Anarchy, The Achievement of Medieval Thought, and East and West in the Middle Ages. Dawson shared with Arnold Toynbee the ideal of a universal spiritual society as the goal of history; but whereas Dr. Toynbee saw this as achievable by a consensus of the great world religions, Dawson concludes his work with a clear exposition of the Catholic ideal of a universal spiritual society. It provides an excellent summary of the author’s view of the uniqueness and universality of the Catholic Church, as well as its fundamentally non-sectarian basis. His concluding words demonstrate his commitment to the concept of unity: "On the other hand, if Christianity were to lead the nations still further apart from one another into spiritual disunity, it would defeat the central purpose of the Church’s institution."
