There has been a marked increase of interest in the art of spiritual direction in recent decades. Yet in many circles, especially in ecumenical and interfaith contexts, it is unclear what grounds the practice of this ancient art. As a tradition's practice of spiritual direction expresses its particular theology, which, in turn, is shaped by its unique history, this work explains that ecumenical spiritual direction must make and retain the tri-perspective of history, theology, and method that faithfully reflects each tradition's distinctives as requisite for true ecumenical enrichment. The importance of this trinocular vision is brought into sharp focus through a comparative study of Ignatius of Loyola and John Calvin, where points of continuity and discontinuity between the Ignatian and Reformed traditions underscore the importance of this work's thesis.
How Then Shall We Live?
The world constantly throws up new challenges about what it means to be Christian and to live a distinctively Christian lifestyle. The priest, broadcaster, writer and ethicist Samuel Wells considers some of the biggest contemporary political, social and moral challenges and grapples with them in the light of Christian hope and wisdom. Under three headings – Engaging the World, Being Human, and Facing Mortality – he probes a wide range of issues including the rise of religious extremism, migration, ecology, social media, sexual identities, inequality, obesity, life stages from childhood to old age, dementia, facing death and much more. This striking and profoundly wise book sets out to shape a theological imagination and fluency that is grounded in the reality of being human in a suffering world and yet open to transformation by the life and wisdom of God.
If This Is the “Last Days,” How Then Shall We Live?
Why is Jesus returning for the Rapture? Who is He coming for? If all of the prophecies of the Bible have been fulfilled; why has He not returned? Is He just waiting for the right number of people to be saved? This book offers a fresh and new look at prophecies that still need to be fulfilled. It is an in depth look at the key to the return of Jesus. There are prophecies relating to the world and the evil of this world building up to the “Last Days”. There are also prophecies relating to the “Bride”, for whom He is returning.
