Beschreibung

In "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith: The Early Church Fathers," John of Damascus meticulously articulates the tenets of Christian doctrine as outlined by the early Church Fathers, making a significant contribution to the field of patristic theology. With a blend of systematic exposition and profound philosophical inquiry, the text serves as a comprehensive manual on Orthodox beliefs, delving into the nature of God, Christology, and the Holy Trinity. John employs a clear, didactic literary style, enhancing his arguments with scriptural citations and theological insights, which situates this work within the rich tradition of Byzantine theological literature and its conversations with Islamic thought of the time. John of Damascus, a pivotal figure in the development of Christian theology, made substantial contributions to both philosophical and religious discourse in the 8th century. His deep engagement with both Christian and Islamic traditions, coupled with his position as a learned cleric, positioned him to address the complexities surrounding faith and reason. His background as a scholar in a context of religious pluralism significantly shaped his theological inquiries and his commitment to defending the Orthodox faith. "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" is essential reading for anyone interested in early Christian theology, providing invaluable insights into the foundational beliefs that continue to underpin Orthodox Christianity. Scholars and lay readers alike will benefit from John'Äôs rigorous examination of faith, which serves not only as a historical document but as a vibrant conversation starter between different strands of belief.

The Death of Liberalism

R. Emmett Tyrrell

The grave is dug, the headstone carved, the hearse idling out front. A once-potent political and cultural scourge of our time, Liberalism, is breathing its last?and loudest?breaths.
In this provocative postmortem, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. traces the dubious rise and inevitable fall of the deeply flawed Liberal-Progressive movement, which has culminated in the nation's first stealth socialist, President Barack Obama?the unwitting pallbearer for American Liberalism. While exposing this nonsensical worldview, Tyrrell also winsomely reaffirms the timeless values Liberalism has endeavored to undermine: free enterprise, personal liberty, limited government, empiricism, reason, and common sense. Ultimately, Tyrrell welcomes conservatives, moderates, independents, and the heretofore apolitical to step forward at this crucial juncture, and take the final steps necessary to administer Liberalism's last rites.
"From Harry Truman to Ed Koch to McGovern, Liberalism has been in decline. With Obama, Liberalism is dead. Now comes Crony Capitalism. This is a hilarious and profound book?especially because Tyrrell sees the value of Fox News nd Talk Radio." ?Sean Hannity, author of Conservative Victory, and radio host of The Sean Hannity Show and Fox News Channel's Hannity.
"R. Emmett Tyrrell . . . chronicles with growing joyfulness the high points of Liberalism's demise until we get to 2010 and Liberalism's lurch into the grave. . . A wonderful read and a fitting send-off to a very dreary ideology." ?Mark Levin, host of The Mark Levin Radio Show and author of the bestsellers Liberty and Tyranny and Ameritopia
"The Death of Liberalism is a dashing, sharp, well-argued and succinct tract for the times. Mr. Tyrrell is a controversialist of stature, a polemicist of robust energy and a man who knows how to present his case with power and precision."?Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times, Intellectuals, and A History of the American People

St Ignatius Loyola: The...

St. Ignatius Loyola

These are the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, a plan of contemplation to be carried out over about a month. St. Ignatius of Loyola (1419-1556) was the founder of the Jesuits, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. He published the Spiritual Exercises in 1548. The Exercises were intended for use by someone who would be conducting a retreat and are a series of notes on methods and things to cover. As such they read more like a manual and overview than a devotional book that one can look to for edification. They presume the person conducting the retreat or the exercises has already been through them. They are a central part of the first year training of Jesuit novitiates. However, one does not have to be a Jesuit-in-training to take advantage of the Exercises: Increasingly, lay people and even non-Catholics follow this path
