FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 055 Professor Andrew Louth explores the essential interdependence of theology (even in its most academic form) and spirituality. Each interprets, informs and perfects the other, and both meet in contemplation - which in turn leads to love for our neighbour in God, and to compassion.

How did our forebears begin to think about religion as a distinct domain, separate from other activities that were once inseparable from it? Starting at the birth of Christianity - a religion inextricably bound to Western thought - Jack Miles reveals how the West's "common sense" understanding of religion emerged and then changed as insular Europe discovered the rest of the world. Finally, in a moving postscript, he shows how this very story continues today in the minds and hearts of individual religious or irreligious men and women.

Tra altare e deserto, un nome si colloca al centro di un enigma antico: Azazel. Il destinatario del capro espiatorio nel giorno di Jom Kippur resta volutamente aperto nella Torah — demone, luogo o simbolo? Questo libro prende sul serio tale vuoto interpretativo e segue la traccia di Azazel da Levitico 16 e Genesi 6,1–4 fino alle voci che, per secoli, hanno accompagnato il testo biblico. Per mettere a fuoco il quadro, lo studio mette la Scrittura in dialogo con testimonianze extracanoniche e storiche: 1 Enoch e i Giubilei, gli scritti di Qumran, il Midrash e il Talmud rabbinici, lo Zohar...

Celtic Christianity, a spiritual tradition that flourished in the British Isles from the 5th to the 12th centuries, offers a fascinating glimpse into an early form of Christianity that was deeply intertwined with the natural world and a strong sense of community. Unlike the more structured and hierarchical Roman Christianity, Celtic Christianity was characterized by its monastic communities, its emphasis on pilgrimage, and a reverence for creation that permeated its theology and practice. This distinct brand of faith, often described as a "faith of the wild," drew heavily from the pre-...

William Shakespeare is attributed with having penned the words, “Some are born great, others achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” The English playwright’s famous quotation simply mirrors the fascination that mankind has always had with “greatness” and with those whom society deems to have achieved it during their lifetime. However, the question must be asked, “What is true greatness? How can it be measured, and how is greatness identified in the life of an individual?” Christ’s Evaluation of True Greatness In Matthew chapter eleven, the Lord Jesus ...

From the Preface: "The purpose of this little book is to show that the dedication demonstrated by the early disciples, is without exception, enforced by the commands of our Saviour. And not only that, but it is illustrated by the conduct of the apostles and early Christians. The author therefore asks that all sincere disciples of Christ carefully weigh what is written here in the balance of the Sanctuary, not the balance of the world."

Viewing human nature as one that seeks the dichotomy of both imagination and reason, he argues that the Christian faith is the only true fulfillment of both of those needs. Chesterson explains that Christianity is the only faith that can answer the basic needs and desires of all humans because it has both in its very structure. A rigid morality combined with an allowance for some interpretation of truth and way of life, Christianity resolves the human need for a life that follows both logic and romance.

God Wants Me Closer to Him. Do I want that? Paul did. Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 I am trying to walk with God by faith but facts, real or fake, draw me away from my faith. Is there more to this faith-life? Can I press on toward God like Paul writes, even if I seem stuck where I am, mired in a hard life here? Can God be real when so much around me is ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 098 Amidst the conflicts and concerns of modern life our zeal and hope for Christian Unity has flagged. We need a fresh vision and this requires growth in prayer. 'It is the purpose of this essay to seek to root our prayer for unity more deeply in the life of God himself, in the unceasing intercession of the Praying Christ, in the Blessed Trinity who is life-in-communion,' writes Bishop Tomkins, whose prayerful, scholarly examination of the High Priestly Prayer in John 17 and the Rublev icon of the Trinity will surely enlarge our vision of the circulating life of the ...

While the New Testament speaks about believers being judged, it's crucial to note that this judgment is distinct from the final judgment of unbelievers. The focus is on evaluating believers' lives and works, determining rewards or loss of rewards in the kingdom of God. These scriptures collectively form the basis for the understanding that Christians will face judgment at the Second Coming of Christ, emphasizing the importance of a faithful and obedient life. Studying these passages and their interpretations within the broader theological context provides a deeper understanding of the ...
