This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2 Corinthians 12:1–10, Paul claims to have been snatched into paradise but then tells how he received a “thorn in the flesh”. Many recent scholars contend that Paul belittles ecstatic experiences such as the ascent to paradise. This monograph places 2 Corinthians 12:1–10 in the contexts of ancient ascent traditions as well as other accounts of extraordinary religious experience in Paul’s letters, and it engages premodern interpretation of the ascent. This study argues that for Paul, extraordinary experiences such as the ascent enable self-transcending love for God and neighbors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book, "In Search of the Way, the Truth, and the Life," explores the origins of religion and early beliefs—from prehistoric mysticism to the idea of a living God. The reader is invited on a fascinating journey of the human spirit highlighting the interconnectedness and a common vector of humanity’s religious search, which unraveled across continents spanning millennia: from Mesoamerica to the plains of Mesopotamia, from the emergence of the religious views of Egypt and India to the formation of ancient philosophies in China and Greece. The book recounts the emergence of the ancient Israel's religion that gave the world the liberating fire of Light and Truth culminating with the coming of the Messiah, His earthly life, and the victory over death. We learn that the spiritual quest of humanity was embodied in the person and teachings of Jesus Christ, and that His birth, for the most profound reasons, was the beginning of a new era—the era of the triumph of Truth.

Book excerpt: In this volume, canon lawyer and writer Edward Condon compiles a book full of wisdom and compelling insights. More than anything, the Fathers warn us that our life is short, and the reckoning for how we have lived it eternal. The urgency of the Church’s message, brought to life in the sayings of the Fathers, comes to remind us of our true calling and inheritance in baptism, and of the richness of the heavenly reward, which is not so much the fruit of our efforts on Earth but the fulfillment of God’s promise of love to us. The terror of hell is not the threat of the dictator, but a dire warning of the true scope of our freedom as children of God.

This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new English translation of the first text translated from Arabic to Armenian for research and classroom use Robert W. Thomson translates this ninth-century commentary defending the miaphysite theological position of the Armenian church against the chalcedonian position of the Greek Byzantine church. Nonnus’s exegesis of the gospel falls in the context of trends in Eastern Christian biblical exposition, primarily the Syrian tradition. Therefore, Thomson emphasizes the parallels in Syriac commentaries on the book of John, noting also earlier Greek writers whose works were influential in Syria. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the Armenian church and church history. Features: Introductory material on the text’s history, manuscript traditions, and theological importance Translation of the Armenian text and commentary Bibliography covering the Armenian, Greek, Syriac, and Arabic texts as well as secondary sources
