Choose The Narrow Path - The Way For Churches To Walk Together

by Pierre Whalon

88,78€ + 10% CARD

 <P>Why is it that churches agree to the same basic faith in hundreds of dialogues, and yet remain locked in an "ecumenical winter"? In <I>Choose the Narrow Path</I>, Bishop Pierre Whalon argues that to acknowledge the same doctrines while acting as if churches should remain separate is not only a recipe for disaster, but it is also itself a sin. This book spells out that doctrinal agreement in Part I, while Part II uncovers a more personal reaction, structured around the Nicene Creed.</P> <P>The primary argument is that, while churches may be "one," "holy," and "catholic" in what they believe, none of them is truly "apostolic" in their action. To begin to address this failing, the author calls for exceptional intercommunion for members of all churches that subscribe to the Narrow Path but are still reluctant to walk it together.</P> <P>"Bishop Pierre Whalon offers clear points about the challenges that Churches face, but also a way forward through what he describes as "the narrow path."</P> <P> The Most Reverend Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church</P> <P>"Bishop Pierre Whalons Choose the Narrow Path is a much needed and highly accessible handbook of the contemporary Ecumenical Movement for the unity of the Christian Churches."</P> <P> The Right Reverend R. William Franklin, Assistant Bishop, Diocese of Long Island</P> <P>"Bishop Pierre Whalon has gone beyond the rhetoric to produce a sound scriptural-based systematic treatise with concrete practical applications. The book may well be the catalyst, as the subtitle suggests, That Opens the Way for the Churches to Walk Together."</P> <P>Prof. Cyril Orji, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Dayton, OH</P> <P>"Bishop Whalons Choose the Narrow Path is a book for Christians of all stripes to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digestgreat for study groups and church leaders alike."</P> <P>The Very Reverend Dr. William S. Stafford, Dean Emeritus of The School of Theology, Sewanee, USA</P> <P>"To walk any narrow path with a precipice on either side is very dangerous, but Bishop Pierre Whalon proves to be an excellent and sure-footed guide for the churches to try to walk together. He calls for action now so that we can avoid the scandal of disunity which threatens to plunge us into the depths, and instead to witness together to Jesus the Risen Christ."</P> <P>The Revd Canon Professor Richard A. Burridge,The University of Manchester</P>

Questioning Authority - The Theology And Practice Of Authority In The Episcopal Church And Anglican Communion

by Ellen K. Wondra

122,63€ + 10% CARD

 <P><EM>Questioning Authority</EM> analyzes current conflicts concerning authority in the Anglican church and offers a new framework for addressing them. It argues that authority in the church is fundamentally relational rather than juridical. All members of the church have authority to engage in discerning the church’s identity, direction, and mission. Most of this authority is exercised in personal interactions and group practices of consultation and direction. Formal authority in the church confers power so responsibilities can be fulfilled. Church relations always include conflict, which may be creative and helpful rather than divisive. Conflict arises because persons and groups follow Christ in ways related to their own cultural context while also being in communion with others. Communion in the church requires embracing diversity, recognizing and respecting others’ perspectives, and working together to discover and create common ground. Today’s church needs more participatory forms of governance and decision-making that are conciliar and synodal.</P>

Engaging Islam From A Christian Perspective

by Bonnie Evans-Hills e Michael Rusk

95,67€ + 10% CARD

 Is it possible to bridge two faiths, to cross through myriad cultures, and to seek to understand some of todays great global crises from the viewpoint of the other? With an estimated 5 million Muslims in the United States, Islam is a faith that invites attention. Beginning with the perceived dissonance of east and west, of Christianity and Islam, and working through the complexity of antagonistic worldviews that have been perpetuated over the centuries, <I>Engaging Islam from a Christian Perspective</I> seeks to rediscover the deep interconnectedness between these two world faiths. The political upheavals experienced across North Africa and the Middle East and the emergence of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and Boko Haram in north east Nigeria indicate the urgency and importance of establishing constructive dialogue. This book sets local dialogue in the wider context of the significant international conversations that have been taking place between the two faiths. The emergence of Scriptural Reasoning as a major tool of inter-religious dialogue is explained and illustrated. However, this perspective is balanced by a consideration of how dialogue can proceed while acknowledging the diatribe, hostility, and violence that in some parts of the world terrorize adherents of both faiths. Re-establishing a dialogue of trust, three areas are explored that reveal the potential radical outcomes of meaningful dialogue. An important corrective is given as to how women perceive themselves as Muslims; the question of whether one can be actively gay and Muslim is raised; and the complex issues surrounding inter-faith worship are sensitively explored. <I>Engaging Islam from a Christian Perspective</I> offers the intriguing possibility that local conversation can bring about profound transformation to both faiths.

An Anglican Hermeneutic Of The Transfiguration

by Benjamin Thomas

85,93€ + 10% CARD

 The question of how to interpret scripture and whether there is a distinctively Anglican approach to doing so is one of the leading theological questions in the Anglican Communion. <I>An Anglican Hermeneutic of the Transfiguration</I> analyzes major Anglican interpretations of the Transfiguration from the eighth century to the present and suggests that Anglicans do in fact have a distinctive hermeneutical approach to this event. Moreover, this approach may point to larger trends in the interpretation of Scripture overall, but especially the Gospels. With respect to the Transfiguration, Anglicans interpret the event within the biblical context, assume its basic historic character, and juxtapose high Christology with the human limitations of Jesus self-understanding. Furthermore, Anglicans draw pastoral implications for the lives of Jesus and the disciples from the Transfiguration and assert that the glory manifested on the mountain supports a partially realized eschatology. Finally, Anglicans write for well-educated, non-specialists in theology.

Welcoming The Interfaith Future - Religious Pluralism In A Global Age

by Frederick Quinn

85,93€ + 10% CARD

 Members of many religions live alongside one another in sprawling urban centers and isolated rural communities, and conflict and misunderstanding among religions are widespread. From a Christian and Anglican perspective, this book searchingly examines the nature of such encounters and explores the meaning of religious dialogue and terms like conversion, syncretism, salvation, and pluralism. Tightly focused historical chapters discuss expanding twentieth- and twenty-first-century Catholic and Protestant views about other religions and conclude with a fresh interpretation of the formative Asian contribution to contemporary interfaith encounters. Three established, successful examples of on-the-ground religious interaction are also presented, including the work of Muslim leader Eboo Patel in Chicago, Episcopal Bishop William E. Swing in San Francisco, and Anglican Bishop Tim Stevens in Leicester. Ultimately, interfaith religious dialogue benefits from the prayerful use of visual symbols in addition to written commentaries. Several important, innovative Anglican figures are considered, including Kenneth Cragg, Alan Race, David F. Ford, Keith Ward, Desmond Tutu, Ian S. Markham, and Rowan Williams. The Anglican document «Generous Love» (1998) is presented as a wider, inclusive discussion of possibilities for interfaith dialogue. The author concludes by reflecting on the importance of the old hymn, «Theres a Wideness in Gods Mercy» in the evolution of his own views and as a foundational statement welcoming the interfaith future. This book is a solid, lively, and lucid introduction of a volatile issue rippling its way through the contemporary Anglican Communion.
