  • Literarische und religiöse Kommunikation in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeitby Peter Strohschneider

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2009; US$ 207.00

    In the Middle Ages and far into the Early Modern Age, "Literature" as understood by literary scholars principally functions and is characterised with reference to and in distinction from religious communication and practice. These complex relations, which change over time, are illuminated here with studies from German Medieval and Early Modern Studies and from English Studies, History, Art History, Romance Studies, Sociology, History of Theology and Church History which contribute to establishing the present-day position of cultural and literary studies. more...

  • Clerical Celibacy in the West c.1100-1700by Helen Parish

    Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2010; US$ 124.95

    The issue of clerical celibacy has played a long and profound role in the history of the Christian church. From the first Christian centuries to the present day, the question of whether clergy should be allowed to marry has attracted a vast amount of theological attention and debate. Yet despite the acknowledged importance of this issue, there have been few attempts to present an objective and historical study of the origins and development of clerical celibacy. In order to address this lacuna, Dr Parish offers a reassessment of the history of sacerdotal celibacy, examining the emergence and evolution of the celibate priesthood in the Latin church from the beginning of the twelfth to the end of the seventeenth centuries. Around this core area... more...

  • Public People, Private Livesby Jean Burton; Chris Burton

    Continuum International Publishing 2009; US$ 75.00

    Who cares for the carers? Is it possible for the families of public figures to have private lives? How does it feel to be a vicarage child in the 21st century?. The authors tackle an area of enormous importance for the Church: the stresses of clerical family life, with implications which range from the nature of the appointments system and the principle of tied accommodation to the way in which the Church supports its clergy and their families. More than simply a critique of the current situation, however, this book makes some specific recommendations, thus offering a valuable resource to the Church and, potentially, well beyond it. Essential reading for clergy and prospective clergy and their families, all those responsible for their... more...

  • In the Beginning Was the Wordby Vern Sheridan Poythress

    Crossway Books 2009; US$ 25.00

    With scriptural teaching and broad-ranging application, this follow-up to Redeeming Science builds a Christian theology of language and reforms our thinking about words. Language is not only the centerpiece of our everyday lives, but it gives significance to all that we do. It also reflects and reveals our all-sustaining Creator, whose providential governance extends to the intricacies of language. Writes Vern Poythress, "God controls and specifies the meaning of each word-not only in English but in Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Italian, and every other language. When, in our modernism or postmodernism, we drop him from our account of language, our words suddenly become a prison that keeps us from the truth rather than opening doors to the... more...
