Washington DC : Corpus Books, ( 1967 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo, 153 pages, gray-green cloth, inked name on endpaper Unpublished since 1890, Newman's essays are preceded by three introductory chapters. Newman's purpose in his essays is to reconcile the traditional Christian belief that the Bible is the word of God with the scholar's feel for the biblical books as human documents. One focus is the concept of God as the author of Scripture, while emphasizing that intelligence and critical apparati can legitimately be used., Corpus Books, 5, Rodale Books, 2010. 1st Edition 1st Printing.

Although many older Catholics are familiar with the cult of the saints, veneration of saints is for many younger Catholics a lost tradition. Yet this remarkably clear, deeply researched book offers a path through biblical, historical, and systematic aspects of the communion of saints in which those canonized play special roles. This study follows Vatican II's view of the saints as companions, models, and intercessors--that the saints guide us through both the inspiration of their holy lives and their roles in the afterlife. With a comprehensive introduction to the Catholic Church's history of venerating saints, each subsequent study emphasizes the rediscovery of the meaning of veneration and is designed for both academic instruction and personal use. Each chapter also includes a list of important terms and suggestions for additional reading., Herder & Herder, 2012, 6, Loizeaux Brothers, Inc, 1890-01-01. Paperback.

The anonymous author, 'F.C.B.F.,' is credited with a number of Christian tracts written in the late nineteenth century. The Loizeaux Brothers was a small publisher run by a Plymouth Brethren family in the New York area that for more than a century published Christian books, specializing in Biblical prophecy. It was founded by Paul and Timothy Loizeaux in the late 1880s. The Plymouth Brethren are a conservative, low church, nonconformist, Evangelical Christian movement, whose history can be traced to Dublin, Ireland, in the late 1820s, originating from Anglicanism. Among other beliefs, the group emphasizes sola scriptura, the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over tradition. Brethren generally see themselves not as a denomination, but as a network, or even as a collection of overlapping networks, of like-minded independent churches. Although the group refused for many years to take any denominational name to itself - a stance that some of them still maintain - the title 'The Brethren' is one that many of their number are comfortable with in that the Bible designates all believers as 'brethren., Loizeaux Brothers, Inc, 1890-01-01, 2.5, Schocken, 1995.

Synopsis: How did it happen that Christlan tradition came to find sexual desire sinful and to claim that infants, from the moment of conception, are infected with the disease of original sin, that Adam's sin corrupted the whole of nature, which until that point had known neither death nor labor nor suffering? How did it happen that the Christian church, which also proclaims the infinite value of each individual and celebrates the moral freedom of all its members, came by the middle of the fourth century to insist that humankind~made in God's image~cannot choose not to sin? This great paradox at the heart of Christian, and therefore Western, tradition is the subject of Elaine Pagels's briiliant new book, Adam, Eve, and the Serpent, a work that will prove a landmark of htstorical thought and profoundly affect all future interpretations of the historical meaning of Christianity. The attitudes and values we associate with Christian tradition, particularly attitudes toward sexual matters, evolved in Western culture at a specific time ~during the first four centuries of the common era, when the Christian movement, which had begun as a defiant sect, transformed itself into the religion of the Roman Empire. These attitudes had not previously existed in the Christian form they eventually took, and they represented a departure from both pagan practices and Jewish tradition. Within a century of Jesus and Paul, the Christian churches, though widely divided on questions of practice and belief, all agreed that Christians must reject the Roman gods and refuse to reverence the emperors, who ruled in their name, For many of the leaders of the early church, freedom was the practical message of the gospel: freedom in its many forms, including freedom from tyrannical government, freedom from prevailing social and sexual customs, freedom from sexual desire, and freedom of the will ~ that is, self~mastery as a means to spiritual renewal. For almost three hundred years, Christianity prospered and grew as an illegal sect whose members increasingly reflected the diverse interests of an ever more complex population. By the fourth century, as the Christian movement became more powerful, the emperor Constantine reversed the long~standing policy of persecution and himself became a Christian. In the century following these momentous conversions ~of Constantine to Christianity and the church to a respected imperial institution~Christian teaching itself underwent a revolutionary change from a doctrine that celebrated human freedom to one that emphasized the universal bondage of original sin. It is this profoundly consequential transformation that is the subject of Elaine Pagels's monumental book., Random House, Inc., 1988, 3<
