Sermons of Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart

Beschreibung

In "Sermons of Meister Eckhart," the influential 14th-century German theologian and mystic presents a profound exploration of the nature of God, the soul, and the interplay between the two. This collection, characterized by its strikingly original language, rich metaphors, and intricate theological dialogue, invites readers into the depths of Christian mysticism. Eckhart's sermons are marked by a radical emphasis on the concept of the 'birth of the Word' within the individual, challenging conventional ecclesiastical interpretations and calling for an intimate and personalized connection with the divine. Written against the backdrop of a slowly crumbling feudal society, Eckhart's work reflects the tensions and transformations of his time, positioned philosophically between scholasticism and emerging Renaissance humanism. Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) was a Dominican friar whose teachings have captivated and perplexed audiences for centuries. His innovative thought challenges the orthodoxy of his day, leading to later controversies and posthumous condemnation by the Church. Eckhart's own life was marked by a quest for deeper spiritual understanding, shaped by his experiences in both academic and pastoral settings, which undoubtedly informed the depth and breadth of insight found in these sermons. For readers seeking spiritual depth or an introduction to medieval mysticism, "Sermons of Meister Eckhart" is an invaluable resource. Its thought-provoking content and lyrical style encourage contemplation and introspection, making it a timeless work for those looking to explore the intersection of faith, philosophy, and personal experience.

Sadly, many people, including educated people — the elite, dignitaries, government officials, professors, doctors, politicians, and philanthropists — don’t understand what it means. Hence, there is a diverse search for what the phrase means! Some wonder if it means to be born the second time from their mother’s womb, which is impossible. It is such an enormous conversation! 
Many years ago, I stood before university lecturers sharing the exact phrase “You Must Be Born Again.” To my amazement, some of them were completely unaware of it! You may even think I’m talking about reincarnation—to be reborn in a new world as a different person or animal. It is also possible to read this book, yet you don’t even know what it means. 
Get this book, and your life won’t remain the same in Jesus’ name!!

How the Talmud Can Change Your...

Liel Leibovitz

For numerous centuries, the Talmud—an extraordinary work of Jewish ethics, law, and tradition—has compelled readers to grapple with how to live a good life. Full of folk legends, bawdy tales, and rabbinical repartee, it is inspiring, demanding, confounding, and thousands of pages long. As Liel Leibovitz enthusiastically explores the Talmud, what has sometimes been misunderstood as a dusty and arcane volume becomes humanity's first self-help book. How the Talmud Can Change Your Life contains sage advice on an unparalleled scope of topics. 
 
 
 
Leibovitz guides listeners through the sprawling text with all its humor, rich insights, compulsively readable stories, and multilayered conversations. Contemporary discussions framed by Talmudic philosophy and psychology draw on subjects ranging from Weight Watchers and the Dewey decimal system to the lives of Billie Holiday and C. S. Lewis. Chapters focus on fundamental human experiences to illuminate how the Talmud speaks to our daily existence. As Leibovitz explores some of life's greatest questions, he also delivers a concise history of the Talmud itself, explaining the process of its lengthy compilation and organization. 
 
 
 
With infectious passion and candor, Leibovitz brilliantly displays how the Talmud's wisdom reverberates for the modern age and how it can, indeed, change your life.

Theological Education -...

Kenton Anderson, Gregory Henson

Discover the beauty of theological institutions and churches working with and for one another. 
 
 
 
Theological Education demonstrates how churches and seminaries can cooperate through a competency-based learning approach to ministry preparation—that is, competency-based theological education (CBTE). CBTE focuses on the mutual mission of the church and theological education: developing followers of Christ who flourish in their vocations. 
 
 
 
This first book-length treatment of CBTE lays the groundwork for expansion and refinement as theological schools and churches move together in partnership, exploring: 
 
 
 
● principles that ground successful CBTE cooperation, such as collaborative mission, contextualized discipleship, and holistic assessment 
 
 
 
● practices that a CBTE approach requires, such as affordable programs, flexible technology, and continuous improvement 
 
 
 
Using the CBTE model means seminaries can provide practical ministry training together with churches who invest in the theological education of those who minister among them.
