Jean-Louis Chrétien's collection of essays and speeches on reading sacred scripture is enriched by his immersion in the classics of ancient philosophy and theology, as well as the imaginative creativity and sensibility of a poet. He is just as likely to quote Claudel as Aquinas or Origen. His intimate acquaintance with patristic writings combines with a sympathetic understanding of such Protestant sources as Luther, Calvin, and Barth, yielding an admirably ecumenical perspective on the Bible. The title refers to the passage in the Epistle of James (1:23-24) concerning the Word of God as a mirror into which one gazes. The concomitant notion of not only examining the text itself but actually being examined by the Word is a fruitful trope for learning how to be more fully nourished by one's study of the Bible. The Great Conversation of author and reader that is the stuff of great secular literature thus plays itself out in Chrétien's vision as a rich sacred dialogue between readers and their Author-Maker. He also makes particularly profitable use of Kierkegaard and St. Augustine as he explores topics such as the teachability of the bishop as teacher (like Chaucer's clerk, he would "gladly learn" before he can "gladly teach") and productively meditates on the biblical doctrines of joy, hope, and witness/testimony (for which there is but one word in French).

Zusammenfassung: This classic little book for new and experienced theologians alike offers wise counsel on the difficulties-- and vital importance-- of maintaining one's spiritual health in the course of academic theological study. Since the book's first appearance in English translation in 1962, thousands of beginning theological students have had the opportunity to eavesdrop, as it were, on the opening lecture of a theological seminar by one of the twentieth century's leading Christian thinkers, Helmut Thielicke. More experienced pastors and theologians have also returned to it again and again for the valuable insights that Thielicke brings to bear on their vocation. (Publisher)

"Sacred gaze" denotes any way of seeing that invests its object—an image, a person, a time, a place—with spiritual significance. Drawing from many different fields, David Morgan investigates key aspects of vision and imagery in a variety of religious traditions. His lively, innovative book explores how viewers absorb and process religious imagery and how their experience contributes to the social, intellectual, and perceptual construction of reality. Ranging widely from thirteenth-century Japan and eighteenth-century Tibet to contemporary America, Thailand, and Africa, The Sacred Gaze discusses the religious functions of images and the tools viewers use to interpret them. Morgan questions how fear and disgust of images relate to one another and explains how scholars study the long and evolving histories of images as they pass from culture to culture. An intriguing strand of the narrative details how images have helped to shape popular conceptions of gender and masculinity. The opening chapter considers definitions of "visual culture" and how these relate to the traditional practice of art history. Amply illustrated with more than seventy images from diverse religious traditions, this masterful interdisciplinary study provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for everyone interested in how religious images and visual practice order space and time, communicate with the transcendent, and embody forms of communion with the divine. The Sacred Gaze is a vital introduction to the study of the visual culture of religions.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." (Isaiah 43:2)Need a spiritual deluge of grace to make it through this moment of your trial?Know someone who needs a fresh infilling of hope? Want a downpour of encouragement?Look no further!As you inhale the words on these pages, allow the healing salve from the Great Physician to infuse the deep recesses of your soul with his peace as you lift your gaze to your God and Creator."No one is immune from trials, suffering, and temptation. In times of trials and life's challenges, most of us tend to look in wrong directions: around, behind, or within. Kim M. Clark in her Deep Waters: Lift Your Gaze 30-Day Devotional has done an excellent job of exhorting readers to look up to God in each and every situation in their lives. I strongly believe this is a wonderful biblical antidote against any form of discouragement."ZICKY CHANDA, Director, Lighthouse Christian School, Zambia, Africa"Kim M. Clark's Deep Waters: Lift Your Gaze 30-Day Devotional is clearly written from the heart, for the hearts of those needing an anchor of the Father's hope."

What do the feasts of the Bible reveal about our place in today’s tired world? In short, everything. From Genesis through Revelation, redemptive history is captured through feasts. Through them, God calls his people to commemorate mercy, delight in grace, and commune with him and with each other. In the process, he proves he doesn’t ration his rich, soul-satisfying love toward us but instead lets it overflow. Invitations to Abundance brings to life the festivities described in the Bible and illuminates how relevant they remain in a modern world defined by isolation and disillusionment. When your heart needs encouragement, these wondrous celebrations remind you why, where, and how you can find security, unity, and hope. Each chapter seats us at a unique feast from Scripture—from the well known to the less familiar—and considers how you can respond worshipfully as a partaker of these celebrations. Invitations to Abundance shows you how to reciprocate God’s initiating kindness and what it means to live knowing God’s table is spread before you.

To understand the origins, spread and changing functions of images in Christianity requires an interdisciplinary approach. This book will explore the limits and possibilities of such an approach, against the background of current methodological developments. The rise of visual studies and the re-evaluation of anthropology have contributed to a favourable climate for interdisciplinary research in the humanities. With regard to the Bible and the Visual Medium, the basic focus this book is concerned with, a strong new pact has been forged between Theology and Art History. Carefully calibrated methodologies have been developed to unite the world of the word and the world of the visual medium as a truly interdisciplinary research object. Historical-critical exegesis, church history, iconology and cultural anthropology together provide foundational support for knowledge of broader visual themes, and the functions of works of art. In their interplay they become the gateway to the Interspaces of word, gaze and touch. The three chapters of this book plumb the interspaces between the world of texts (word), images (gaze) and sensation (touch). The choice of the three themes was carefully considered. They provide an optimal means of testing the strengths and limitations of the most recent interdisciplinary research in the study of the Bible and the visual medium. Furthermore, they take on exceptional forms at the intersection of the interspaces. Finally, each of the themes is anchored in a particular biblical phrase, which sealed its most influential pact between word an image, and gave rise to impressive visual traditions within Christianity: Do not touch me (John 20:17), Who touched my clothes? (Mark 5:30), He must increase, but I must decrease (John 3:30).

The Ark of Speech investigates the interplay of speech and silence in the dialogue between God and human beings, and human beings and the world. Ranging from the Old Testament and its depiction of God's creative word to the New Testament and its focus on the life and words of Jesus as the Word of the Father, the book shows how important it is for the believer to listen to God and to others in silence and devotion.

Reading the Gospels without knowing the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off. The result is a dry, two dimensional person doing strange, undecipherable things. In BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He'd say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass. In the author's winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes, just as he set masculinity free in his book, Wild at Heart. By uncovering the real Jesus, readers are welcomed into the rich emotional life of Christ. All of the remarkable qualities of Jesus burst like fireworks with color and brilliance because of his humanity. Eldredge goes on to show readers how they can experience this Jesus in their lives every day. This book will quicken readers' worship, and deepen their intimacy with Jesus.

An Insatiable Hunger For God, Resting Is His Gaze is a book birth out of my desire to have a deeper and more intimate relationship with God the Father. My desire is that God gives all who has a desire for Him, a new hunger and passion and that He breathe His Ruach and blow afresh upon each of us. My hearts cry is that He gives us a deeper revelation of who He is and teach us to be a bright and shining light in a dark and wicked world. My prayer is "teach us Lord how to let our lamps shine bright and always having the fresh oil of your anointing." Our desire should always be to have true intimacy and revelation from Him. I pray that every soul that reads this book experience God like never before and they become hungry and desperate for His presence and that He looks upon you as you look upon Him and rest in His gaze. This book is not about religion, it's about have a real true and honest relationship with a loving Father and Savior. The God of the Christianity and the Holy Bible is the God in which I speak. He's the true and living God, He's a loving Father who wants to have a relationship with His children. We come to know Him through the study of His Word, the Holy Bible and spending time with Him in prayer and worship. He's the reason we are here and it's in Him that we live, move and have our being. He loves us so much! In Matthew 5:6 (NKJV), the Bible tells us "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled." Blessed are those who actively seek right standing with God, they will not hunger or lack no good things. When we are in right standing with God, we will be completely satisfied, nothing missing and nothing broken. He will not withhold no good thing from you. We must seek the Lord with every fiber of our being. Seeking Him with our whole heart and giving Him our full attention and obedience. We must pray and seek Him for guidance and direction for our lives and learn how to live and rest in His presence. An Insatiable Hunger for God is all about, how desperate you are for Him.
