Ways of Russian Theology Part One

Summary

Ways of Russian Theology forms an integral part of the attempt to purify Russian Orthodoxy by clarifying its proper relationship to the West. From the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, the Russian Church found itself intellectually unprepared to deal with the religious and cultural storms bursting in upon it. First came the era of open hostilities between Protestants and Catholics; later came the Enlightenment and Romanticism. Consequently, Orthodoxy absorbed, sometimes unconsciously, western scholasticism, deism, pietism, and idealism, and produced what Fr. Florovsky describes as the “pseudomorphosis” of Russia's authentic religious life derived from Byzantium. Only in the nineteenth century did Russian Orthodoxy seriously undertake to recover its Byzantine heritage and find its way “back to the Fathers,” thereby laying the foundation for Florovsky's later program of “neo-atristic synthesis”.

    Read by the author. 
    Room for Good Things to Run Wild is the antidote to widespread Christian malaise. If you feel like life is happening to you, that your faith has been reduced to trite platitudes, and that no matter how many new things you try, you still end up with a dissatisfying Christian life, this book offers relief from the mediocrity of Christian living through the sacred and satisfying journey of becoming an every day saint. 
    After spending too many days staring at the hamster cage of his uninspired life through the bottom of a glass of Scotch, Josh Nadeau knew there were only 2 ways left to go: further down or finally up. Disillusioned by his faith and disenchanted by the world around him, Josh chose up out of a desperation to discover the Jesus who had formed the saints of old.  
    Steeped in literature and doctrine, art and raw daily life and accompanied by original illustrations and living liturgy this book will bring you on the journey back to an embodied theology that understands that we know, not just with our minds, but also with our bodies. From Canada, to England, to Ireland and Spain, Josh follows the Jesus Way, teaching you how to be just as honest about the pain of your life as the pleasure of your life.  
    Rediscover the full and wild world that God has created for you in the way He has created you to experience it. Room for Good Things to Run Wild is a call into the Holy Ordinary; a new way to see that wakes the soul and satisfies the body.

    When the Spirit speaks to him in his daily prayers, Choctaw elder and spiritual explorer Steven Charleston takes a pen and writes down the messages. He then shares these thoughts with thousands on social media. In these musings, Charleston taps into the universal questions that draw us to prayer, no matter our spiritual background: Why am I here? Where do I belong? Where am I going? 
     
     
     
    This stunning collection of more than two hundred meditations introduces us to the Spirit Wheel and the four directions that ground Native spirituality: tradition, kinship, vision, and balance. The life we inhabit together has been called many things by Indigenous people: the Spirit Wheel, the hoop of the nations, the great circle of existence, the medicine wheel. We are all on that ever-turning wheel, Charleston says—all of creation, people and animals, rocks and trees, the whole universe. Together we can turn toward the wisdom of our ancestors, kinship with all of Mother Earth's creatures, the vision of the Spirit, and mindful balance of life. We are all searching for belonging and a vision of the world that makes sense. We can meet those longings as we ponder the blessings of Spirit Wheel, in the breathtaking moments when insight becomes an invitation to wonder.

    Within everyone is an inner spark calling us toward a higher purpose. For some, that purpose is all about becoming a spiritual practitioner—using our mediumship, psychic, or healing abilities to help others and positively impact the world. This calling is impossible to ignore; a persistent pull that keeps showing up, time and time again. 
    In this book, we’ll dive into the journey of the spiritual practitioner and discover how to turn this calling into a rewarding, full-time career. You’ll learn how a functioning spiritual practice works, as well as how to attract clients and fill up your booking calendar. By the end of this book, you’ll know what clients expect from you, how to get paid adequately for your work, and how to build a stable foundation, so you won’t have to worry about surviving financially. Most importantly, you’ll discover your ideal customer (and it's probably not who you think it is). 
    Full-time Spiritual Business: A Guide to Launching and Scaling Your Spiritual Practice as a Psychic, Medium, or Healer is Johan's second book based on his 14-year career as a psychic medium. Drawing from his experience of working with thousands of clients to date, doing private readings, educating students, and starring in Warner Bros' Swedish Mediums, he uncovers the major misconceptions existing in our industry today and shows you, step-by-step, how to turn your spiritual calling into a fulfilling full-time business.
