Bede`s Ecclesiastical History of England

····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Bede`s best-known work is the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, or An Ecclesiastical History of the English People. Completed in about 731, the first of the five books begins with some geographical background, and then sketches the history of England, beginning with Caesar`s invasion in 55 B.C. A brief account of Christianity in Roman Britain, including the martyrdom of St Alban, is followed by the story of Augustine`s mission to England in 597, which brought Christianity to the Anglo-Saxons. The second book begins with the death of Gregory the Great in 604, and follows the further progress of Christianity in Kent and the first attempts to evangelize Northumbria. These ended in disaster when Penda, the pagan king of Mercia, killed the newly Christian Edwin of Northumbria at the Battle of Hatfield Chase in about 632. The setback was temporary, and the third book recounts the growth of Christianity in Northumbria under kings Oswald of Northumbria and Oswy. The climax of the third book is the account of the Council of Whitby, traditionally seen as a major turning point in English history. The fourth book begins with the consecration of Theodore as Archbishop of Canterbury, and recounts Wilfrid`s efforts to bring Christianity to the kingdom of Sussex. The fifth book brings the story up to Bede`s day, and includes an account of missionary work in Frisia, and of the conflict with the British church over the correct dating of Easter. Bede wrote a preface for the work, in which he dedicates it to Ceolwulf, king of Northumbria. The preface mentions that Ceolwulf received an earlier draft of the book presumably Ceolwulf knew enough Latin to understand it, and he may even have been able to read it. The preface makes it clear that Ceolwulf had requested the earlier copy, and Bede had asked for Ceolwulf`s approval this correspondence with the king indicates that Bede`s monastery had excellent connections among the Northumbrian nobility.

Summa Theologica Part II (Secunda Secundae)

····· lezzter Preis 1.49€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This is the extended and annotated edition including \* an extensive biographical annotation about the author and his life The Summa Theologiae (Latin: Compendium of Theology or Theological Compendium also subsequently called the Summa Theologica or simply the Summa, written 1265-1274) is the best-known work of Thomas Aquinas (c.1225-1274), and although unfinished, `one of the classics of the history of philosophy and one of the most influential works of Western literature.` It is intended as a manual for beginners in theology and a compendium of all of the main theological teachings of the Church. It presents the reasoning for almost all points of Christian theology in the West. The Summa`s topics follow a cycle: the existence of God Creation, Man Man`s purpose Christ the Sacraments and back to God. (courtesy of wikipedia.com). This is part 2-2, `Secunda Secundae`. In a chain of acts of will, man strives for the highest end. They are free acts, insofar as man has in himself the knowledge of their end (and therein the principle of action). In that the will wills the end, it wills also the appropriate means, chooses freely and completes the consensus. Whether the act be good or evil depends on the end. The `human reason` pronounces judgment concerning the character of the end it is, therefore, the law for action. Human acts, however, are meritorious insofar as they promote the purpose of God and his honor. By repeating a good action, man acquires a moral habit or a quality which enables him to do the good gladly and easily. This is true, however, only of the intellectual and moral virtues (which Aquinas treats after the manner of Aristotle) the theological virtues are imparted by God to man as a `disposition`, from which the acts here proceed while they strengthen, they do not form it. The `disposition` of evil is the opposite alternative. An act becomes evil through deviation from the reason, and from divine moral law. Therefore, sin involves two factors: its substance (or matter) is lust in form, however, it is deviation from the divine law. ····· 1036143446

This is the extended and annotated edition including \* an extensive annotation about Monasticism and its meaning for the book that follows \* an interactive table-of-contents \* perfect formatting for electronic reading devices The Cloud of Unknowing (Middle English: The Cloude of Unknowyng) is an anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in Middle English in the latter half of the 14th century. The text is a spiritual guide on contemplative prayer in the late Middle Ages.The Cloud of Unknowing draws on the mystical tradition of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Christian Neoplatonism, which focuses on the via negativa road to discovering God as a pure entity, beyond any capacity of mental conception and so without any definitive image or form. This tradition has reputedly inspired generations of mystical searchers from John Scotus Erigena, through Book of Taliesin, Nicholas of Cusa and St. John of the Cross to Teilhard de Chardin (the latter two of whom may have been influenced by `The Cloud` itself). Prior to this, the theme of `Cloud` had been in the Confessions of St. Augustine (IX, 10) written in AD 398. (courtesy of wikipedia.com) ····· 1036143444

The Imitation Of Christ

····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This is the extended and annotated edition including \* an extensive biographical annotation about the author and his life The Imitation of Christ (Latin: De Imitatione Christi) by Thomas à Kempis is a Christian devotional book. It was first composed in Latin ca.1418-1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, where Kempis was a member. The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read devotional work next to the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic. Apart from the Bible no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ. The text is divided into four books, which provide detailed spiritual instructions: `Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life`, `Directives for the Interior Life`, `On Interior Consolation` and `On the Blessed Sacrament`. The approach taken in the Imitation is characterized by its emphasis on the interior life and withdrawal from the world, as opposed to an active imitation of Christ by other friars. The book places a high level of emphasis on the devotion to the Eucharist as key element of spiritual life. (courtesy of wikipedia.com) ····· 1036143443

John Calvin`s Commentaries On The Book Of Joshua

····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This is the extended and annotated edition including \* an extensive biographical annotation about the author and his life Calvin produced commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. His commentaries cover the larger part of the Old Testament, and all of the new excepting Second and Third John and the Apocalypse. His commentaries and lectures stand in the front rank of Biblical interpretation. The Commentary On Joshua was the last literary labor of its venerable Author. When he engaged in it, his constitution, which had never been strong, was completely worn out by excessive exertion, and almost every line of it must have been dictated to his amanuensis during momentary intervals of relief from severe bodily pain. On this point we possess authentic documents which leave no room for doubt. Such are the circumstances in which this Commentary was composed, and it is impossible, in reflecting on them, not to admire the indomitable energy which Calvin displayed in proceeding with his task, and in meeting the remonstrance`s of those who would have withdrawn him from it, with the heroic exclamation, `Would you that the Lord, when He comes, should find me idle!` A Work written at such a time, and in such a spirit, might justly claim exemption from criticism but it has no need of indulgence, and can well afford to be judged by its own intrinsic merits. Viewed merely as an intellectual effort, it displays all the excellencies which characterize the other Commentaries of its distinguished Author: viewed in a higher and better light, it is his dying bequest to the Church - a solemn ratification of the whole System of Doctrine which he had so long, so earnestly, and so successfully promulgated. ····· 1036143429

Every variety of taste finds in them its appropriate gratification. Lofty conceptions, illustrated by splendid imagery, and clothed in language usually copious and flowing, some times abrupt, but always graceful, leave no room for hesitation to pronounce him, with Bishop Lowth, to be `the most sublime and elegant of the Prophets of the Old Testament.` He is regarded with peculiar veneration as an honest, fearless, and able messenger of the Most High God, boldly reproving nobles and monarchs, denouncing the judgments of Heaven against all transgressors, and asserting the claims of the Divine law and government above all human authority. In his Prophecies he takes a wide range, surveys those nations which power or wealth or learning or commerce had raised to the highest celebrity in those remote times, and describes their rise and fall, and wonderful revolutions, so eagerly traced lay us in the page of history, as the execution of Jehovah`s counsels, and the arrangements of unerring wisdom But chiefly does he pour out rich instruction concerning the Messiah, whose life and sufferings, and death and glorious reign, he delineates so faithfully, and with such thrilling interest, that he has obtained the appellation of `The Evangelical Prophet.` To the devout reader there is added a still more powerful attraction in his seraphic piety, which, breathing throughout all his communications, and kindling a holy flame in the hearts of the children of God, attests the important fact, not only that in the visions of God he reached the noblest heights of inspiration, but - which was far more valuable - that he enjoyed habitual and intimate fellowship with The Father of Spirits.
