Beschreibung

In "The World's Great Sermons: Basil to Calvin," an anthology masterfully curated by various authors, readers are invited on an enlightening journey through the evolution of Christian preaching from the early days of the Church to the Reformation. The collection spans diverse styles, reflecting the profound rhetorical skill and theological insight found in the sermons of influential figures such as St. Basil, Augustine, and John Calvin. Each sermon not only showcases the eloquence of its speaker but also provides context for the socio-political and religious climates of their respective eras, revealing the dynamic relationship between faith and societal values over time. The authorship of this anthology encapsulates the voices of eminent theologians and scholars committed to preserving the integrity of historical sermons, likely influenced by their own experiences in religious practice and scholarship. By collecting these sermons, the editors aim to honor the tradition of homiletics and highlight how these powerful discourses have shaped Christian thought. This work serves as a testament to the transformative power of spoken word in faith communities throughout the centuries. "The World's Great Sermons" is an essential read for both scholars and laypeople interested in church history, theology, and literature. For those seeking to understand the profound impact of preaching on spiritual and moral frameworks, this anthology offers invaluable insights and encourages reflection on the enduring legacy of these captivating sermons.

    There is something about the number 3.    
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Answer to Job

    Of all the books of the Bible, few have had more resonance for modern listeners than the Book of Job.  
     
    For a world that over the past century has witnessed horrors the like of which could not have been imagined by earlier generations, Job’s cries of despair and incomprehension are all too recognisable. The visionary psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung understood this and responded with this remarkable book, in which he set himself face to face with 'the unvarnished spectacle of divine savagery and ruthlessness'.  
     
    Jung perceived in the hidden recesses of the human psyche the cause of a crisis that plagues modern humanity and leaves the individual, like Job, isolated and bewildered in the face of impenetrable fortune. By correlating the transcendental with the unconscious, Jung, writing not as a biblical scholar but 'as a layman and physician who has been privileged to see deeply into the psychic life of many people', offers a way for every listener to come to terms with the divine darkness which confronts each individual.  
     
    Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) founded the analytical school of psychology and developed a radical new theory of the unconscious. Translated by R. F. C. Hull.

    We need to rediscover lament to heal and hope again. 
     
     
     
    We've lost the practice of lament. Most people don't know how to process personal or communal mourning and instead struggle to honor their tears, vulnerability, and the full weight of these disillusioning times. But tending our grief might be exactly what we need to reimagine a way forward. 
     
     
     
    Tracing her difficult experiences of a catastrophic home fire, a threat to her child's well-being, and other devastating losses and upheavals, Terra McDaniel offers a clear framework for expressing heartache and burdens. McDaniel says, "Lament is surprisingly hopeful. As strange as that may sound now, I promise it's true. It's an act of trust both that we can face pain and survive, and that God cares about our anger, confusion, doubt, grief, and fear. Lament refuses to bury pain or, just as dangerous, to give in to despair." 
     
     
     
    Hopeful Lament makes space for the powerful act of crying out before a loving God and offers provoking reflection questions, embodied practices, and applications for families with children. Learn how to journey gently through suffering.
