Beschreibung

Monks Lives explores the captivating world of monasticism, revealing the daily existence, spiritual practices, and intellectual contributions of monks across diverse traditions and eras. Monastic life, often romanticized, involved rigorous discipline and played a pivotal role in preserving knowledge, art, and providing social welfare. The book argues that monasticism is a unique social structure, contrary to being isolated, monks actively engaged with society through scholarship, creativity, and charity.

 
The book begins by laying out monasticism's core principles, such as vows and communal structures. It then examines monks' daily routines, their spiritual practices like prayer and contemplation, and the intellectual contributions monks made to theological doctrines and artistic masterpieces. Readers gain insight into how monasteries functioned as early centers for social welfare, offering aid to the poor and sick, and how monks dedicated their lives to prayer and contemplation.

 
Monks Lives provides a comparative perspective on monasticism, moving beyond Western traditions to include Buddhist, Hindu, and other communities. This approach allows readers to understand the nuanced differences and commonalities in monastic practices globally, offering a deeper understanding of how monastic principles might still offer insights into community, sustainability, and spiritual fulfillment today.

    At the end our lives, we look forward to eternal life. Now you can take a fascinating journey through eschatology, the theology of the Last Things.  In these twelve lectures, you will join renowned theologian Dr. Peter Phan in encountering De Novissimis—the “Last Things.” You will explore the realities that occur at the end of life (i.e., death and dying) as well as those that occur in the afterlife (i.e., judgment, purgatory, hell, heaven, the resurrection, and the consummation of the world).  You will address two basic questions: how do we know about these last realities, and how do we talk about them? Because of modern medicine, we can speak empirically about dying as a physical act. Death, however, extends beyond science—we do not have scientific information about what happens after death.  In this superb course, you will look first at the issues of our knowledge and language about death. You will examine the methods by which we can learn about the afterlife and the kind of language that must be used to speak about it. You will then the realities often discussed when dealing with the afterlife. Each lecture is framed as a question, inviting you to reflect upon and further explore the nature of the afterlife.  As you move through these lectures, you will tackle the most fundamental questions about life, death, and the world to come. Join Peter Phan on this insightful theological journey today. This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide. *Photo by John Spade.

    When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories—Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks—with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events. 
     
     
     
    In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

But when difficult circumstances arise, many believers ask, "Is God really in control?"

He shows how it affects one's outlook on salvation, suffering, prayer, and worship in the Christian life.
