Be Holy

Casa editrice: Publifye

Sinossi

'Be Holy' explores Christianity's fundamental command of biblical holiness through a comprehensive examination of its theological foundations and practical applications. This scholarly yet accessible work investigates three core dimensions: separation unto God, moral purity, and spiritual transformation, demonstrating how these interconnected aspects shape authentic Christian living.

 
The book uniquely balances academic rigor with practical wisdom, making complex theological concepts understandable for both scholars and lay readers. The journey begins with an exploration of holiness from its Hebrew roots (kadosh) through its New Testament fulfillment, establishing a robust theological framework.

 
What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to holiness as both a divine gift and an active pursuit, challenging common misconceptions while providing practical guidance. Through careful examination of biblical texts, historical church documents, and contemporary scholarship, readers gain a deeper understanding of how holiness manifests in daily life.

 
Structured in three main sections, the book progresses from theological foundations to addressing misconceptions, and finally to practical application in areas such as thought life, relationships, and ethical decision-making. This methodical approach, enriched by insights from psychology, sociology, and ethics, presents holiness not as an unattainable ideal but as a comprehensive life orientation.

 
The work serves as both a theological resource and a practical guide, offering actionable steps while maintaining focus on the transformative power of God's grace.

The End of the Affair

Graham Greene

Graham Greene’s masterful novel of love and betrayal in World War II London is “undeniably a major work of art” (The New Yorker).   Maurice Bendrix, a writer in Clapham during the Blitz, develops an acquaintance with Sarah Miles, the bored, beautiful wife of a dull civil servant named Henry. Maurice claims it’s to divine a character for his novel-in-progress. That’s the first deception. What he really wants is Sarah, and what Sarah needs is a man with passion. So begins a series of reckless trysts doomed by Maurice’s increasing romantic demands and Sarah’s tortured sense of guilt. Then, after Maurice miraculously survives a bombing, Sarah ends the affair—quickly, absolutely, and without explanation. It’s only when Maurice crosses paths with Sarah’s husband that he discovers the fallout of their duplicity—and it’s more unexpected than Maurice, Henry, or Sarah herself could have imagined.   Adapted for film in both 1956 and 1999, Greene’s novel of all that inspires love—and all that poisons it—is “singularly moving and beautiful” (Evelyn Waugh).
