The historiography of English Catholicism has grown enormously in the last generation, led by scholars such as Peter Lake, Michael Questier, Stefania Tutino, and others. In Suspicious Moderate, Anne Ashley Davenport makes a significant contribution to that literature by presenting a long overdue intellectual biography of the influential English Catholic theologian Francis ? Sancta Clara (1598–1680). Born into a Protestant family in Coventry at the end of the sixteenth century, Sancta Clara joined the Franciscan order in 1617. He played key roles in reviving the English Franciscan province and in the efforts that were sponsored by Charles I to reunite the Church of England with Rome. In his voluminous Latin writings, he defended moderate Anglican doctrines, championed the separation of church and state, and called for state protection of freedom of conscience.
Suspicious Moderate offers the first detailed analysis of Sancta Clara's works. In addition to his notorious Deus, natura, gratia (1634), Sancta Clara wrote a comprehensive defense of episcopacy (1640), a monumental treatise on ecumenical councils (1649), and a treatise on natural philosophy and miracles (1662). By carefully examining the context of Sancta Clara's ideas, Davenport argues that he aimed at educating English Roman Catholics into a depoliticized and capacious Catholicism suited to personal moral reasoning in a pluralistic world. In the course of her research, Davenport also discovered that "Philip Scot," the author of the earliest English discussions of Hobbes (a treatise published in 1650), was none other than Sancta Clara. Davenport demonstrates how Sancta Clara joined the effort to fight Hobbes's Erastianism by carefully reflecting on Hobbes's pioneering ideas and by attempting to find common ground with him, no matter how slight.
Working Alternatives explores economic life from a humanistic and multidisciplinary perspective, with a particular eye on religions’ implications in practices of work, management, supply, production, remuneration, and exchange. Its contributors draw upon historical, ethical, business, and theological conversations considering the sources of economic sustainability and justice. The essays in this book—from scholars of business, religious ethics, and history—offer readers practical understanding and analytical leverage over these pressing issues. Modern Catholic social teaching—a 125-year-old effort to apply Christian thinking about the implications of faith for social, political, and economic circumstances—provides the key springboard for these discussions.

In Making Martyrs East and West, Cathy Caridi examines how the practice of canonization developed in the West and in Russia, focusing on procedural elements that became established requirements for someone to be recognized as a saint and a martyr. Caridi investigates whether the components of the canonization process now regarded as necessary by the Catholic Church are fundamentally equivalent to those of the Russian Orthodox Church and vice versa, while exploring the possibility that the churches use the same terminology and processes but in fundamentally different ways that preclude the acceptance of one church's saints by the other. Making Martyrs East and West will appeal to scholars of religion and church history, as well as ecumenicists, liturgists, canonists, and those interested in East-West ecumenical efforts.

This monograph restores Willa Cather’s «Lucy Gayheart» from superficial attention and dismissive criticism. Departing from textual evidence, it reads the novel in the light of its own intertext: Wilhelm M?ller’s and Franz Schubert’s «Winterreise» (Winter Journey). The identification of startling parallels between the eligist of the American pioneer period and representatives of literary and musical German romanticism elicits new subtexts and insights. Novel and song cycle share themes such as the blending of memory, desire and imagination or a tragic vision of life offset by the search for transcendental meaning. Conclusively, both works result in ambivalence by oscillating between romanticism and modernism.

Описание: " Mama wept because I was born with a caul, a bit of birth membrane covering my face, much coveted by the superstitious. Aunt Weba, recognizing an opportunity when she saw one, said she knew a woman who would pay handsomely for the good fortune a caul was said to bring. Heaven knew, she scolded, Mamma could use every penny she could scratch up in those slack days with war over states' rights and slavery looming. 'Throw it into the fire, Weba' Mamma is said to have wailed"...and be quick. Don't you try to fool me or this poor child will be cursed with second sight all her life.' Mamma might as well have taken the money because I've always had an uncanny sense of what others were thinking and planning, especially Dan who, though born without a caul, shares the gift, or curse. It has kept us close despite the distance that has separated us these long years." Young journalist, Frankie Walters, fears for the life of her brother Dan who is reporting on mining conflicts in the rugged mountain town of 19th century Leadville, Colorado. A reporter herself, Frankie will follow any clue--and her heart--wherever it leads to discover Dan's fate.

Описание:
America is the greatest country in the world, the land of opportunity. America is an amazing country, a country raised up by God for the nations to be a beacon of hope and light to the world. America's Founding Fathers came here seeking religious freedoms and a place to worship God. The United States of America is one nation under God. This country has a purpose. This country has a destiny that has been given to it by God. Anyone who lives here should be thankful and grateful to live in a land that God has raised up.
Many years ago, I wrote a book called Seed Prayer, a workbook born out of my morning prayer meetings. We had thirty or forty people who would gather Monday through Sunday to pray. We would pray mostly in the Holy Spirit; however, I found that some people would lose focus over time and their prayers would begin to taper down. At that point, I would read scriptures to help regain focus, and their prayers would pick back up again. Simply explained, seed prayer is the praying and declaring of scriptures (planting seeds) and then the "watering" of that seed planted by praying in the Holy Spirit. Out of those meetings, I put together a series of scripture-based prayers, advice, and declarations. The more we prayed and declared these prayers and scriptures and watered them, the more powerful they became inside of us, manifesting tangible results in our lives, our finances, and our bodies. Based on these same principles, I put together prayers that we could declare over America. The prayers of many, and the voice of many, praying for our nation is effective and powerful. Watering the seeds planted by following these prayers and declarations with praying in the Holy Spirit is even more effective and powerful
