Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The SCM Studyguide to Christian Spirituality is designed as a lucid and comprehensive introduction to spirituality for students of all religious backgrounds, especially those coming to the subject for the first time. Part One looks at the Christian spiritual tradition through an encyclopaedic study of a variety of spiritual writers. These are treated chronologically: the Bible, the patristic period, the time when monasticism triumphed, the Middle Ages, the Reformation, and the post-Enlightenment period. Part Two, which could also be used at a more advanced level, explores Christian spirituality through a range of interdisciplinary themes. Successive chapters look at its relation to personal experience, science, theology, psychology, sexual embodiment, and ethics. The final chapter raises urgent contemporary issues: the relation of Christian spirituality to that of other faiths, and to postmodern culture in general. Each chapter concludes with questions for discussion and select further reading, and an extensive bibliography for each chapter is also provided. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. If all naming of God arises out of human experience, then societies and cultures with a male-dominated tradition are bound to have affected religious attitudes and practices. That is the presupposition of Brian Wren's new book, and it aims at remedying the situation, at least in worship. His particular concern is language: the systematic and almost exclusive use of male God-language in a faith where God is revealed as incarnate in a male human being distorts Christianity. But many people find this distortion hard to recognize and acceptas indeed Brian Wren himself did originally. After analysing the situation, his book goes on in an evocative and creative way to show how much can be learned from feminist insights and how many sensitive Christians need not be faced with the alternative of being true to their own insights and leaving the church or suffering under a warped tradition and practice. At a time when there is so much discussion about the role of the feminine in theology and the church, especially in connection with the ordination of women, Brian Wren makes an important contribution towards achieving a better future.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Rowan Wiliams, is widely recognised as a creative and powerful theologian, but his theological writings are frequently complex and difficult. This book provides a clear and simple guide to the main themes of his theology, and shows how they are related to his reading of the Bible, his careful and wide-ranging engagement with the Christian tradition, and his grappling with contemporary culture. It shows how the Archbishop's ideas about peace or about popular culture, about sexuality or about evangelism, relate to his understanding of the life of God, and of the challenging good news of Jesus christ.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Our culture is exposed today as never before to an abundance of sensual imagery of every kind. How are our religious institutions to respond to this? And where does the sensual end and the aesthetic begin? The one is associated with sin, the other with beauty. Where should a tradition that honours incarnation stand on such questions? The fear of idolatry has in the past led some to reject images of all kinds. Others have given icons a central part in their worship. What constitutes an icon? And how is it to be distinguished from an idol? Questions such as these lie at the heart of this book, in which Edward Robinson, himself a distinguished sculptor and an able spokesman on spirituality and the arts, finds in the creative imagination the key to an understanding of the deeper roots of what makes us truly human. But it is not only, he argues, the creative artist, but each and every one of us who is born with this power of imagination, the faculty that can open us up to the infinite potential hidden in every moment of what seems a transient and elusive present. In particular he stresses the importance of distinguishing the ideas of the sacred and the holy, a distinction which he suggests may be vital if we are to be alive to the ever-present dangers of idolatry in our religious institutions today.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 2004 is the 25th Anniversary of John de Gruchy's Church Struggle in South Africa, a book which played an important role in helping South African's understand the racial and political context in which Christianity has been shaped in South Africa.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Belief in providence is both necessary and impossible, absurd but deeply human. It is not required of Christians formally by the creeds, but it is required of them by their daily prayer. Central to Christian prayer is the belief that God acts, that he has a purpose not only for the whole creation but for the individual, and that if individuals bring their concerns to God, God will make a difference. But how does this difference come about? How is it possible to find evidence of the activity of God in the world around us and in our own lives. What criteria, what models, can we use? The image used of God here, after much discussion of the problems of providence when thought of in connection with either God or human beings, is that of the theatre director, particularly the theatre director exemplified by Peter Brook in his famous book The Empty Space. In this perspective God can be present as one whose job it is to evoke talents, skills and capabilities people did not know they had. God is given a supremely active and creative role, and one which does not destroy, or manipulate, human autonomy. And in this perspective, men and women are given hope, that they will not find love's labours lost. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Relational theologies, such as feminist theology, ecotheology and liberation theologies of various kinds, turn our traditional starting point for theology on its head. They ask what it is that we experience and where it is that we intuit God manifests and creates in and through our relation and lack of relation with ourselves, others and the cosmos. This book aims to explore the concept of the emerging divine within human and non-human relationality. It is relationship and the relationality that enable knowledge of the divine to emerge. The editors and contributors make the concept of relational theology more widely understood and stimulating theological debate in this area. The collection is an excellent teaching resource for courses in liberation theology, feminist theology, ecotheology and Christian doctrine at upper undergraduate and MA level. The book offers new and original contributions by well-known authors such as Carter Heyward, Catherine Keller, Mary Grey, Ursula King, Beverley Clack, Diarmuid O'Murchu and Mary Condren.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Each "Briefly" volume provides a very short chapter setting the scene by explaining who this writer is and why this book in particular was so important, or why it became so important to Western thought. This short contextualising chapter is then followed by an in-depth summary of the book in question. This includes line by line analysis and short quotes to give students a feel for the original text. Essentially a "Briefly" will allow students to become familiar with a key philosophical work in a very short time, but without missing out on the relevant parts of the original work. A glossary of terms follows the summary to help students with definitions of philosophical terms. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
