In this intimate portrait of one of the Middle Ages' most consequential men, Brian Patrick McGuire delves into the life of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux to offer a refreshing interpretation that finds within this grand historical figure a deeply spiritual human being who longed for the reflective quietude of the monastery even as he helped shape the destiny of a church and a continent. Heresy and crusade, politics and papacies, theology and disputation shaped this astonishing man's life, and McGuire presents it all in a deeply informed and clear-eyed biography.

The Bible is the central book in Western culture, yet extraordinarily there is no proper history of it. This exceptional work, by one of the world's leading Biblical scholars, provides a full account of how the different parts of the Bible came to be written; how some writings which were regarded as holy became canonical and were included in the Bible, and others were not; what the relationship is of the different parts of the Bible to each other; and how, once it became a stable text, the Bible has been disseminated and interpreted around the world.

Depuis le massacre perpétré par le Hamas le 7 octobre 2023 en Israël, l’auteur, comme tant d’autres, a vu son monde s’effondrer. Elle, dont la mission consiste à porter sur ses épaules la souffrance d’autrui et à la soulager par ses mots, se trouve soudain en état de sidération. Dans la stupeur, elle écrit alors ce petit traité de survie qui interroge ses fondements existentiels.

With clarity, warmth, and theological depth, Beth Felker Jones explores these questions in Why I Am Protestant. This book offers a positive, theologically grounded reflection on both the beauty and complexity of the Protestant tradition, inviting listeners into a deeper understanding of the Protestant faith and its place within the broader Christian community.

In this magisterial history, Raymond Ibrahim chronicles the long and brutal conflict between Islam and the West through the eyes and lives of Christendom’s original commando forces: the knights of the Temple and Hospital. These warrior monks, whose unprecedented fusion of piety and militancy remains unmatched to this day, played a pivotal—though overlooked if not suppressed—role in defending Christian civilization against the onslaught of Islamic forces during the Crusades and beyond.

The Human Quest for Meaning is a comprehensive reference book that sounds like a story. It traces the human quest for meaning from the origin of religion down to postmodernism. Western culture has had the greatest influence on the world today. So, this treatise dedicates a significant amount of its material covering the history of Christian theology from its beginning as a Jewish cult through a period of internal conflict to become the imperial church. It covers Augustine’s influence, the split between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches and the medieval scholastic period.

The question of whether Jesus’ resurrection actually occurred has been exhaustively examined, scrutinized, and contested over the years, yielding a wide range of conclusions. Some may now view the topic as a "burned-over district" in New Testament scholarship—a subject so thoroughly debated that little new ground seems left to cover. Is there, then, any fresh and fruitful way forward? answers with a resounding yes. He identifies a crucial yet often overlooked issue: the very framework of how historians approach the question—particularly when it comes to miracles.

Bien qu'ils aient grandi de chaque côté du globe, dans des cultures très différentes, le docteur Wayne W. Dyer et le docteur Deepak Chopra sont devenus, dès leur première rencontre, de très grands amis. Leurs parcours ont plusieurs similitudes, tous deux ont obtenus des doctorats : le docteur Dyer en psychologie et le docteur Chopra en médecine. Tous deux ont connu de grands succès dans leurs domaines respectifs et ils ont vite réalisé qu'ils pourraient offrir plus en sortant des limites imposées par ces doctrines bien établies.

Unearthing the Lost World of the Cloudeaters is a book unlike any other, one that demands the Smithsonian to open its hidden warehouses so the history of ancient America can be rewritten! As chronicled by Dr. Thomas R. Horn, Stephen Quayle, and two teams of investigators and film crews, the most compelling evidence is finally unveiled involving pre-Columbian, dragon/giant-worshiping interlopers who traversed the Atlantic Ocean and secret Anasazi routes to corrupt the earliest Americans with portal-opening sorcery, human sacrifices, ritual cannibalism, and technology of the fallen ones.

Nephi's small plates are a time capsule from the sixth century B.C., containing a "loser's eye view" of religion that strongly contrasts with the ideology of the Jerusalem establishment of the time. Lehi's dream and Nephi's interpretive vision are visionary-literary accounts of the two temple ordinances at the heart of the worship of Lehi's "visionary men" -- the Peace Offerings and the Day of Atonement. Learning to understand those visions opens up the rest of the Book of Mormon, and ancient scripture in general.

Much about Nalanda remains shrouded in mystery. When was it founded? Who founded it? Who studied and taught there? What subjects were offered? How many students and teachers were there? Was Nalanda a university in the modern sense? And what ultimately led to its downfall?

Through extensive research, the book explores Nalanda's contributions in fields such as science, mathematics, philosophy, art, architecture, and poetry.

Si l'Église réfléchit depuis déjà longtemps autour de la protection de la nature, jamais un pape ne lui a consacré une encyclique, son mode d'expression le plus solennel. Les mots italiens "Laudato si': Dieu soit loué", qui ouvrent la première encyclique du pape François sont les premiers du "Cantique des créatures", écrit par Saint François d'Assise peu avant sa mort en 1226. Considéré comme l'un des premiers textes de la littérature italienne, le Poverello y célèbre Dieu à travers sa création : frère soleil, sœur lune, frère vent, sœur eau, frère feu, notre mère la terre.

Quoi qu'en disent les pragmatiques à outrance, les utilitaires, ce que l'Homme cherche tout le long de sa vie, ce qu'il poursuit plus que le pain et tout le bien-être matériel, c'est le savoir. L'essence même de notre vie est de tendre non pas à être mieux, mais à être plus. Or, un instinct plus fort que toutes les remontrances des sceptiques et des faux sages nous en avertit : pour être plus, il faut d'abord que nous sachions plus.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

"Le Siracide", appelé aussi "l'Ecclésiastique" ou encore "La Sagesse de Ben Sira", est l'un des livres de l'Ancien Testament écrit vers 200 av. J.-C. "Le Siracide" tient son nom de son auteur, Jésus Ben Sira. L'ouvrage est un mélange de deux genres littéraires : tantôt des "proverbes", tantôt des développements structurés qui proposent des réflexions sur un sujet. Il s'agit toujours de la "Sagesse", représentée comme une personnification de la Sagesse divine.

A groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations.

Discover magazine recently called Richard Dawkins "Darwin's Rottweiler" for his fierce and effective defense of evolution. Prospect magazine voted him among the top three public intellectuals in the world (along with Umberto Eco and Noam Chomsky).

Whether it's heaven or hell, you create your life. If you are always struggling with your finances, relationships, health, and career, life is hell. Once you learn how to let everything flow and materialize with ease, life can be heaven. By and large, most people find life to be a struggle. The reason for this is that they were never taught that life can be easy, and they were never taught how to bring about the ease, comfort, safety, and peace that makes life a rich, rewarding, and joyous experience.
