This is why there are so many fields where "Bede" is mandatory foundational literature, but if you are a student of English history, literature, theology, philosophy, or sociology you already know that. One of the most lasting of the many images the book creates is the biography of Bede ...             An Answer Key to a Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin: A Supplement to the Text by John F. Collins9 reviews Catholic University of America Press, 2006 Excellent Book, Fast Service We need more books like this one that provide instruction in Ecclesiastical/Medieval Latin. The answer key is a godsend! Wouldn't it be nice to have a textbook on Medieval Latin Composition along the lines of Bradley's Arnold with an answer key? Perhaps a scholar will write one!             The Tangible Kingdom: Creating Incarnational Community (J-B Leadership Network Series)19 reviews Hugh Halter, Matt Smay Jossey-Bass, 2008 the way church should be The Tangible Kingdom: Creating Incarnational Community (J-B Leadership Network Series) This is the church of the future. My Son actually attends this church in Denver and can't stop telling us how much he likes the way they do church. It's a great read the author is funny and entertaining, at the same time he teaches you how to reach out to non christins in a non threatening way and show them ...             Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin18 reviews Leo F. Stelten Hendrickson Publishers, 1995 Excellent First a little background of where I stand: I learned Latin using Collins Ecclesiastical Latin, with the sole purpose to be able to pray the Liturgia Horarum in Latin. After having finished studying from the Collins text, I found I still didn't know a whole lot of words from the Office text. So I bought Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin. I can say that this book has proven to be a "must ...             Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin28 reviews John F. Collins Catholic University of America Press, 1985 This book is the best I bought Collins' book because I wanted to be able to pray the Divine Office in latin. Indeed this book has enabled me to do just that. When I bought Collins I already had the Wheelock textbook and "Essential Latin" by Sharpley, but I hadn't really studied from them. Both books concentrate on classical latin and Roman culture. However, to really learn latin I wouldn't recommend to use ...             Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History10 reviews Eusebius Pamphilus, C. F. Cruse Hendrickson Publishers, 1998 Against the Grain I do not find that Eusebius of Ceasarea's Ecclesiastical History is a useful general history of the Early Church. Any credible Early Church history from Schaff onward is far more accurate, balanced, and inclusive. If what you are looking for is a history of the Early Christian Church, please look elsewhere. That being said, what does one get in this nearly five hundred page package? The ...             The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth146 reviews Scott Hahn Doubleday, 1999 Finally, the Liturgy Understood I had an immediate paradigm-shift when I read about the relationship between Revelation and the celebration of the Liturgy - The incense, the garbs, the altar, and more importantly the words we sometimes echo without feeling or thinking of the real meaning of it all... "Holy, Holy, Holy,", and the "LAMB of GOD" now echos in my heart during mass. The Liturgy for me is now Heaven on Earth for I ...             Goodbye, Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption Into the Catholic Church106 reviews Michael S. Rose Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2002 "The Smoke of Satan" It was Pope Paul VI who said "The smoke of Satan has entered the Catholic Church." He might have been referring to what is the subtitle of this book, "How Liberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church". Michael Rose gives us details about what is happening in Catholic seminaries in the United States and the picture is anything but good. In fact, it is terribly bad, for it has deprived ...             Liturgical Theology: The Church As Worshiping Community8 reviews Simon Chan InterVarsity Press, 2006 4.5 stars! As an Anglican I very much appreciated this look at liturgy and worship as what Chan calls primary theology. Though I don't agree with everything in this book, he manages to explain the liturgy from both a theological, historical, and Scriptural point of view, as well as getting very practical in going piece-by-piece through the Sunday liturgy. It wasn't until halfway through the book that I ...             New Commentary on the Code of Canon Law: Study Edition10 reviews Paulist Press, 2002 Incredible resource Wow. What a great commentary. There is so much here that I have an even stronger appreciation for canon law than I did before. I am studying to be a priest and this book is really proving to be invaluable. And this is proving to be an invaluable help. There is history of the code, comparisons with the 1917 code and the code of the Eastern church. Really indepth and almost too much...almost.             What Is a Healthy Church?5 reviews Mark Dever Crossway Books, 2007 A Solid Introduction to Church Health I spoke to Mark Dever just about a year ago and asked him if there were any new books in his future. At that time he mentioned that he'd soon have a book out dealing with personal evangelism but that he had nothing planned after that. It seems that his plans changed! The book on evangelism is due for release in just a few days (September 11). It has been preceded by What is a Healthy Church and ...             A High View of Scripture? The Authority of the Bible and the Formation of the New Testament Canon ...4 reviews Craig D. Allert Baker Academic, 2007 How should an evangelical view the formation of Scripture? Allert found it curious that evangelicals--and he calls himself one--rarely studied the historical process which formed the canon of the New Testament. For himself, he felt that "a high view of Scripture demands an understanding..of the Bible's very formation" (p 13). About 1900, Zahn had argued that the canon was formed by the end of the 1st century. Harnack saw the canon as settled during ...             Life After Church: God's Call to Disillusioned Christians1 review Brian Sanders IVP Books, 2007 Tackling a tough topic with grace In some religious circles, there is no greater heresy than walking away from church. For that and many other reasons, some Christians go through the motions week after week, attending church services that leave them feeling spiritually numb, hollow, or worse. But others have chosen to make the exodus, because to stay would be to live a lie. Brian Sanders calls these people "leavers" --- ...             The Ecclesiastical History of the English People; The Greater Chronicle; Bede's Letter to Egbert (Oxford ...2 reviews Bede Oxford University Press, USA, 1999 Modern times through past eyes There are striking similarities between Bede's era (mid 700's) and our own. You would have figured that our "advanced" society would have learned from the past and not be caught up in a never ending repeat of past problems. Any number of passages in this book could be inserted as a lead story in a TV or newspaper report and I suspect no one would know the difference. If the New York Times was ...             Becoming a True Spiritual Community: A Profound Vision of What the Church Can Be23 reviews Larry Crabb Thomas Nelson, 2007 For those who ask if there is more... There is a growing sense among many within the church that there must be more. Futurists including George Barna suggest that there is a significant number of believers choosing to go underground in their faith --- forming home groups in an effort to foster the kinds of relationships that can't naturally happen during a few hours on Sunday morning. In BECOMING A TRUE SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY, Larry ...             Annulment: The Wedding That Was : How the Church Can Declare a Marriage Null6 reviews Michael Smith Foster Paulist Press, 1999 A Helpful Guide For Those in the Annulment Process Annulling a marriage is one of the thorniest practices of the Roman Catholic Church. People who are granted annulments are given a whole new lease on life, but for those who are denied an annulment, the news can be devastating. For Catholics, an annulment means that a sacramental marriage never took place. The most common reaction to this is "I went to the wedding, what do you mean a marriage ...             AFTERWORLD (Sci-Fi-Fantasy Series)11 reviews Author's Choice Press, 2008 Imaginative fantasy through theoretical afterlife Wonderful story with great humor, satire and imagination about a journey through a fantastic afterlife with all the creations that ever were and ever will be.             An Overview of Orthodox Canon Law (Orthodox, Theological Library)1 review Panteleimon Rodopoulos Orthodox Research Institute, 2007 Orthodox Canon Law (Orthodox, Theological Library) This book is a text book for a Semenary Class on "The Councils of Nicea"             A Concise Guide to Canon Law; A Practical Handbook for Pastoral Ministers4 reviews Kevin E. McKenna Ave Maria Press, 2000 A wonderfully useful introductory guide. Pastoral ministers are faced with questions and challenges every day and the answers aren't always easy to find. Canon law can provide the answers to some of the most complicated questions, but busy pastoral ministers are often too strapped for time for extensive original research. Kevin McKenna's A Concise Guide To Canon Law offers a clear, concise, easy-to-use reference guide to church law ...             Confession1 review Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 1985 Good thoughts about confession As a Catholic who goes to confession regularly, I found this book helpful in putting the Sacrament of Penance (confession) in its proper context. I like the way this author compares confession to the Passion and Death of Christ, in ways that I had not previously considered. I believe that this book helps me to derive more spiritual benefit from confession. I will, however, caution that at ...              search for books afterworld, annulment, authority, christians, chronicle, commentary, community, confession, corruption, dictionary, disillusioned, ecclesiastical, evangelical, formation, incarnational, leadership, liberals, liturgical, marriage, ministers, orthodox, practical, ressourcement, sci-fi-fantasy, scripture, spiritual, supplement, testament, theological, worshiping books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
