Je suis devenu aveugle en six ans. C'est une expérience inimaginable, révélatrice de problèmes profonds et méconnus, que ce livre…
se devait d'évoquer. La cécité exclut, non seulement de l'espace et de la lumière - si naturelle à tous - mais aussi de la société, par ruptures multiples de communication. De là des malentendus profonds de part et d'autre, conscients chez l'aveugle qui les ressent, inconscients chez le voyant. On ne se " voit pas " réciproquement ; par carence pour l'aveugle, par oubli, marginalisation, pour le voyant. Comment en prendre conscience fructueusement, surmonter cette rupture et construire un pont sur cet abîme ? Comment éviter les conséquences en chaîne de ce malentendu ? Ce livre, aux frontières de la psychanalyse, tente de répondre à ces questions, conduisant aux interrogations plus radicales : Qu'est-ce que l'altruisme ? Qu'est-ce que la lumière ? -- 4e de couvBy Jacques Grand'Maison. 2007

les bases d'un nouvel humanisme capable de permettre un véritable "vivre ensemble" dans une société où se côtoient des gens d'origines et de cultures différentes, avec ou sans allégeance religieuse. L'humanisme, affirme-t-il, est à renouveler à chaque époque pour raviver ses rôles libérateurs et civilisateurs. Mais ce serait dommage et même illusoire de penser qu'on peut y parvenir sans les riches patrimoines culturels et religieux de l'histoire. Bien au-delà des ponctuels accommodements raisonnables, le "vivre ensemble" réclame de plus profondes et durables altérités patiemment cherchées et construites." -- 4e de couvBy Jean-Claude Guillebaud. 2007

dit maintenant. C'est d'abord la raison qui me guidait. Par elle, je me sentais peu à peu ramené au christianisme. Cette réflexion a d'abord été très périphérique par rapport à la foi, puis les cercles de ma curiosité se sont rapprochés du noyau central, celui de la croyance proprement dite. J'en suis là. Je ne suis pas sûr d'être redevenu un "bon chrétien", mais je crois profondément que le message évangélique garde une valeur fondatrice pour les hommes de ce temps. Y compris pour ceux qui ne croient pas en Dieu. Ce qui m'attire vers lui, ce n'est pas une émotivité vague, c'est la conscience de sa fondamentale pertinence. La rétractation d'une telle parole dans l'enclos de l'intimité - se taire ! - me semblerait absurde. La laïcité véritable, ce n'est pas la peureuse révision à la baisse des points de vue, c'est leur libre expression dans un rapport robuste et apaisé" -- 4e de couvBy Veronika Peters. 2008

fait auparavant, ses interrogations, ses convictions, et ses indignations sur la foi chrétienne et sur le sens de la vie humaine. -- 4e de couvThis volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971…
to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important, but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school, Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes, narratives, and compositions related to history, ideology, and archaeology, on the one hand, and text and canon, on the other, as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time, this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies.By Robert H. Woods, Nathan Foster, Paul D. Patton, Al Kresta. 2021
The authors, writing as scholars of communication and media, demonstrate how God’s great gifts of media and technology can rob…
us of everyday Sabbath and impede spiritual growth if not faithfully stewarded through a process described as mindful media attachment. Mindful media attachment helps to promote the “holy habits” of sacred intentionality, sacred interiority, and sacred identity. These “three sacreds,” which arise from a proper understanding of the “grammar and language” of media and technology, ultimately allow us to avoid treating media and technology as ends in and of themselves and to avoid divided affections that drain energy, purpose, and kingdom service.By Louis Bouyer. 2017
Louis Bouyer examines the underlying principles and teachings of the 16th century Protestant reformers. These topics include Scripture alone as…
source of Christian belief, justification by faith alone, God's free gift of unmerited salvation, the sovereignty of God, and the Christian responsibility toward good works. He also presents certain problematic areas of Protestant thought, such as the denial of the efficacy of the sacraments, a conflict between various interpretations of Scripture and the Tradition of the Church, and the rejection of Church authority. He then shows how these same principles gradually weakened the various forms of Protestantism, while, at the same time, provided impetus for later reforms and renewals. Written in 1956, The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism by Louis Bouyer still challenges both Catholics and Protestants to better understand the issues that both separate and unite them. Topics include the Protestant teachings of: • The Free Gift of Unmerited Salvation • The Sovereignty of God • Justification by Faith Alone • The Authority of Scripture Alone as a Source of Christian Doctrine • The Responsibility of Christians Believers Toward Good WorksBy Tian An Wong. 2023
What does liberation mean for Asians at the core of an anti-Black, settler-colonial empire? This landmark book is the first…
to offer an Asian American theology of liberation for the present and future global crises. The broad scope of contemporary ideas that the book engages with will be of interest to students, activists, clergy, and scholars alike. Readers interested in radical politics, political theology, and Asian American history will find this book an important addition to their bookshelves. Providing an intersectional frame that considers the breadth and diversity of Asian American experiences alongside those of Black, Indigenous, and Latinx thinkers in the United States and across the globe, An Asian American Theology of Liberation puts Asian American theology in dialogue with theories from psychoanalysis, Afro-pessimism, Black Marxism, postcolonial studies, and queer theology. In this groundbreaking work, Wong Tian An combines archival research uncovering a much overlooked theology of liberation — born in the 1970s out of Asian Americans’ struggles for political recognition and civil rights in the United States — with powerful analyses drawing from the theological, intellectual, and political developments of the last half century. This wide-ranging study connects urgent themes such as protest movements in Hong Kong, anti-Asian violence in the United States, and Indigenous struggles everywhere, while building on Asian theologies such as Dalit theology in India, theology of struggle in the Philippines, and Minjung theology in Korea. Drawing deeply and broadly across disciplines, the book altogether revives and renews an Asian American theology of liberation for a new generation.An Eternal Pitch examines the homiletic life and afterlife of Bishop G. E. Patterson, the dynamic spiritual leader of the…
Church of God in Christ from 2000 to 2007. Although Patterson died in 2007, his voice remains a staple of radio and television broadcast, and his sermons have taken on a life of their own online, where myriad YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok users enact innovative forms of religious broadcasting. Their preoccupation with Patterson’s "Afterliveness" punctuates the significance of Patterson’s preoccupation with musical repetition: across the decades of Patterson’s ministry, a set of musical gestures recur as sonic channels, bringing an individual sermon into contact with scripture’s eternal transmission.By Thomas Nelson. 2023

we are, we go out and read mostly people who agree with us, or who live in our same time and place. It's hard to separate the cultural wheat from the chaff. But what happens when we do read people's answers to Jesus's question from the past lives and places of the church--people who may be wholly unlike us? Who is Jesus? What is he like? And who am I, encountering Jesus?The answers will surprise you.Jesus through Medieval Eyes, by Grace Hamman, looks to the Christians of the Middle Ages, to a time and culture dissimilar to our own, for their answers to these questions. Medieval Europeans were also suffering through pandemics, dealing with political and ecclesial corruption and instability, and reckoning with gender, money, and power. Yet their concerns and imaginations are unlike ours. Their ideas, narratives, and art about Jesus open up paradoxically fresh and ancient ways to approach and adore Christ--and reveal where our own cultural ideals about the Messiah fall short.In thoughtful and accessible chapters, medievalist scholar Grace Hamman explores and meditates upon medieval representations of Jesus in theology and literature. These representations of Jesus span from the familiar, like Jesus as the Judge at the End of Days, or Jesus as the Lover of the Song of Songs, to the more unusual, like Jesus as Our Mother. Through the words of medieval people like Julian of Norwich, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Margery Kempe, and St. Thomas Aquinas, we meet these faces of Jesus and find renewed ways to love the Savior, in the words of St. Augustine, that "beauty so ancient and so new."By Passion Publishing. 2023
When God&’s people break their word, God keeps his promise. Not only is your story woven into God's larger story, but…
you are also part of the tribe whom God is calling to himself. In the six lessons of People, you will explore how the nation of Israel was impacted by the unfolding drama of their cycle of revolt against God, and why the Lord commissioned a chosen people who would be a witness on earth of his faithfulness. Time and time again, God's people turned their backs on him, but God was always quick to show mercy when they repented and called out to him. The cycle we see again and again throughout the Old Testament isn't just about the Israelites; it's also about us. We are all participants in the pattern of revolt, repentance, and restoration. People will help you see how God works out his glorious plans, despite our defiance, to bring his promises to fruition, and you will also grasp that no matter how many times you turn away, God seeks you out to bring you back. Every time. People is the third of six volumes in the Jesus Bible Study Series, following Beginnings and Revolt. Work through all the volumes in any order individually or within a group setting.Each study in this series features one of six key &“acts&” of Scripture:BeginningsRevoltPeopleSaviorChurchForeverBy Daniel Treier. 2023
A study of the doctrine of Christ that is biblical and historical, evangelical and ecumenical, conceptually clear and contextually relevant.Lord…
Jesus Christ expounds the doctrine of Christ by focusing upon theological interpretation of Scripture regarding Jesus's identity. The book's structure traces a Christological arc from the eternal communion of the Triune God through creation, covenants, Incarnation, passion, and exaltation all the way to the consummation of redemptive history. This arc identifies Jesus as the divine Lord who assumed human flesh for our salvation.The book expounds and defends a classically Reformed Christology in relation to contemporary contexts and challenges, engaging both philosophical and global concerns. Each chapter begins with the theological interpretation of a key Scripture text before expounding key concepts of orthodox Protestant Christology. Lord Jesus Christ is a unique example of writing dogmatic theology by way of theological exegesis. The result is a volume that engages the numerous scholarly volumes on Christology that have appeared within the last couple of decades but provides a contemporary account of a traditional view.About the Series:New Studies in Dogmatics seeks to retrieve the riches of Christian doctrine for the sake of contemporary theological renewal. Following in the tradition of G. C. Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics, this series will provide thoughtful, concise, and readable treatments of major theological topics, expressing the biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of Christian doctrine for a contemporary evangelical audience. The editors and contributors share a common conviction that the way forward in constructive systematic theology lies in building upon the foundations laid in the church's historic understanding of the Word of God as professed in its creeds, councils, and confessions, and by its most trusted teachers.By Noel Leo Erskine. 2023

Erskine examines Black theology from every angle, seeking to answer the question, Why would Africa&’s children turn to the God of their oppressors for liberation? Beginning with the Middle Passage, which brought millions of Africans into the Caribbean and United States, Erskine unpacks the background and distinctive ideas of Black theology. Erskine covers major thinkers and illumines various areas of inquiry: suffering and theodicy, sin and reconciliation, baptism and the sacraments, womanism and Christology, and others. What unites these strands is the goal of liberation—of a faith that delivers not theoretical orthodoxies but real change in the lives of those buckling under racist oppression. Black Theology and Black Faith is the perfect reading for students and scholars looking to recenter the voices of the marginalized in their theology. Readers will leave its pages with a faith more alive to God&’s call to institute his kingdom on Earth.By Norman Doe and Aetios Nikiforos. 2024
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians worldwide, has thought profoundly about the role of law…
as it applies to the church, to civic life in Europe, to human rights, to religious freedom, and to the environment. In this book, leading scholars across the world reflect critically on the significance of his legal thought for human flourishing, for Christian social teaching, and for Christian unity. His legal thought is summed up in five key public addresses that he has delivered around the world in recent years, on: church law as an ecumenical instrument; the role of religion in a changing Europe; Orthodoxy and human rights; religion and freedom; and climate change, ecumenical imperatives. The collection presents critical reflections on the legal thought in these five important, distinct, and topical fields of human life. Its ten chapters, with two chapters devoted to each of his five addresses, are written by leading scholars across the world from different Christian traditions with expertise in the fields studied. They provide an analysis of the legal thought of the Patriarch, explain its significance legally, theologically, and politically, and propose its unifying value for the whole of global Christianity today. The book will be essential reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of law and religion, legal philosophy, comparative canon law, theology, and ecumenical studies.
