Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The experience of the pastoral leaders of the Early Church is wide and deep. In loving obedience to Christs command to make disciples, they expand into geographical locations both urban and rural, across linguistic and social boundaries. Their views are refined by the fires of martyrdom, purified by asceticism, and perfected by the pressures that the care of souls lays upon them. Their preaching, teaching, and witness is hard won by these experiences. To fail to engage with them impoverishes the Christian imagination that aims to answer the "how" and "why" of pastoral care. The Pastoral Theology of the Early Church proposes a selection of these early guides in pastoral theology for Christian leaders, both present and future. The selection of Greek, Latin, and Syriac authors from the first millennium treats themes as broad as Christian Initiation, the Churchs relationship to public officials, and the care owed to the families of infants who have died. The Pastoral Theology of the Early Church will aid students preparing for ministry and as well as seasoned pastors and pastoral ministers by offering a close look at the early Churchs perennial wisdom in action across differing pastoral contexts. Scholars and interested readers of the early Church will benefit from the surprising, varied situations and themes these leaders tackled head on for the sake of the Gospel. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. The Second Vatican Council urged Eastern Catholics to cultivate their share of divine revelation for the benefit of the entire Catholic Church. Yet, more than 50 years later, the Eastern Catholic Churches frequently remain on the margins, both in the theological academy and in the life of the Church more broadly. In an effort to remedy this situation, at least in part, this volume offers a scholarly reflection on the unique patrimony of the Eastern Catholic Churches, divided according to the categories of Liturgy, Theology, Spirituality, Discipline, and Culture. In so doing, it both follows the categories used to define a Church sui iuris in the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches, and builds on the legacy of the Rev. Peter Galadza, to whom the volume is dedicated.On one hand, the volume and its essays are intentionally introductory, revealing the worlds of Eastern Catholicism and the variety of theological approaches that take place there. At the same time, however, several of the essays in this volume relate the history and current reality of Eastern Catholicism to the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches, yet without ignoring how frequently Eastern Catholics live, worship, and theologize without self-conscious regard for their unique ecclesial situation. Indeed, these authors show, Eastern Catholic theology can be unself-consciously grounded in the patristic tradition, and Eastern Catholics can simply "do" theology, without worrying about ecclesial politics. Readers will thus find here the best of both worlds: both an introduction to the unique and frequently ignored patrimony of the Eastern Catholic Churches, and a series of essays that avoids the all-to-common pitfall of reducing these traditions to a parody of other Churches, Eastern or Western. Instead, by engaging with the sources of the Christian tradition - as Eastern Catholics, yes, but first and foremost as Christians - the authors reveal how much their tradition can offer the Catholic Church as a whole.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Throughout his adult life Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman was fascinated by the controversies over the relations between Father, Son, and Spirit that exploded in the first decades of the fourth century, that led to the Council of Nicaea in AD 325, and that then divided the Christian world for decades afterwards. Newman's explorations of the ways in which the church's expressed doctrine of the Trinity emerged through these doctrinal battles forced him to rethink his understanding of how Scripture should be read, and were fundamental in his conversion to Catholicism. These essays offer new investigations of Newman's methods, theories, and conclusions in honor of the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, and show how his work remains vital for our own investigations of Christianity's history and development. They were offered first at a symposium held at Mundelein Seminary in April 2024, a meeting made possible through the generous support of Jim and Mary Perry. This item is printed on demand.
