When Joanna Hughes discovered that she had terminal cancer she asked Rabbi Lionel Blue how she could organize herself in that time. He suggested that she should compose an anthology of English spirituality. Though she was not aware of it, Rabbi Blue says, Joanna Hughes was a spiritual person -- unsentimental, original and honest. The result is a rare collection of material, including unknown people, better known though unexpected poets, and very ordinary people who said extraordinary things. The collection begins with the Venerable Bede and Alfred the Great, and ends with Sir Winston Churchill...

This lively and original account of early Celtic Christianity provides a history of the growth and development of the Celtic church. Focusing on the biographies of Saints Brendan, Columba, and Columbanus, the author tells their stories against the background of European history. These three celebrated "wanderers for Christ" followed their destinies in different, but epoch-making, ways: Brendan to America, Columba to Iona, and Columbanus to continental Europe. As we read their stories, we come to understand the power and fascination of the Celtic Christian spirit.

Includes John Scotus Eriugena's "Homily on the Prologue to the Gospel of St. John"

John Scotus Eriugena was born and raised in Ireland during the early ninth century. Neither monk nor priest but a "holy sage," he carried to France the flower of Celtic Christianity. His homily, The Voice of the Eagle, is a jewel of lyrical mysticism, theology, and cosmology, containing the essence of Celtic Christian wisdom. He meditates on the meaning and purpose of creation as revealed by the Word made flesh, distilling into twenty-three short chapters a uniquely Celtic, non-dualistic...

Marking the Hours: English People and Their Prayers, 1240-1570

By: Duffy, Eamon

Price: $27.50

Publisher: Yale University Press: February 2011

Seller ID: 180350

ISBN: 0300170580

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

In this richly illustrated book, religious historian Eamon Duffy discusses the Book of Hours, unquestionably the most intimate and most widely used book of the later Middle Ages. He examines surviving copies of the personal prayer books which were used for private, domestic devotions, and in which people commonly left traces of their lives. Manuscript prayers, biographical jottings, affectionate messages, autographs, and pious paste-ins often crowd the margins, flyleaves, and blank spaces of such books. From these sometimes clumsy jottings, viewed by generations of librarians and art histor...

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

From birth to death, from dawn to dusk, from the dark of winter to the light of midsummer, for the Celtic peoples praying was part of the pattern of life. The prayers of household and farm and workplace were handed down from generation to generation in oral tradition. At the end of the nineteenth century, linguistic scholar and poet Alexander Carmichael collected and translated prayers from the highlands and islands of Scotland. Esther de Waal has brought together some of the most significant of these poems, blessings, prayers, and songs that enable us to touch the vivid sense of the presence ...

Publisher: Regent College Publishing: August 2009

Seller ID: 91952

ISBN: 1573834289

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

What does it mean to be an Anglican? And Evangelical? Can these two identities be held together with integrity? Where the church seems to be fragmenting, how should we relate to the rest of the Anglican Church?
Thirty years ago two influential Anglican thinkers, J.I. Packer and N.T. Wright, addressed these questions in short and provocative Latimer Studies. Their work remains stimulating and important, and is republished here for a new generation, with fresh prefaces from each author reflecting on recent developments.
"The Evangelical Anglican Identity Problem" (Packer, 1978) address...

How On Earth Did Jesus Become A God?: Historical Questions About Earliest Devotion To Jesus

By: Larry W. Hurtado

Price: $28.00

Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company: November 2005

Seller ID: 150435

ISBN: 0802828612

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

In How on Earth Did Jesus Become a God? Larry Hurtado investigates the intense devotion to Jesus that emerged with surprising speed after his death. Reverence for Jesus among early Christians, notes Hurtado, included both grand claims about Jesus' significance and a pattern of devotional practices that effectively treated him as divine. This book argues that whatever one makes of such devotion to Jesus, the subject deserves serious historical consideration.

Mapping out the lively current debate about Jesus, Hurtado explains the evidence, issues, and positions at stake. He go...

The Coming of Christianity to Anglo-Saxon England

By: MAYR-HARTING, HENRY

Price: $32.95

Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press: September 1991

Seller ID: 172598

ISBN: 0271007699

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

This book covers the period from 597 to 750, and does so with narrative skill and a refreshing emphasis on the first missionaries to (and in the case of St. Boniface, from) England and Ireland as men of prayer and cultural awareness and sensitivity, gifts which had much to do with the success of the Christianisation undertaken by them. No less than Peter Brown praises the book as being ''a model account, relevant to the wider evolution of European religion and culture in the formative centuries of the Western Middle Ages.'' Ample attention is paid to subjects such as prayer and worship, educat...
