In "The Spiritual Works of Leo Tolstoy," a compilation of his philosophical essays, letters, and reflections, Tolstoy delves into profound questions concerning morality, faith, and the essence of a meaningful life. His literary style, characterized by introspective depth and ethical clarity, invites readers to ponder the intricate relationship between spiritual belief and daily existence. Rooted in the context of 19th-century Russian society, Tolstoys work resonates with the existential struggles of individuals seeking purpose amid the challenges of modernity and the moral dilemmas posed by industrialization and materialism. Leo Tolstoy, a towering figure in world literature, was deeply influenced by his own spiritual crises and the experiences of war and peace. His writings frequently reflect his evolution from a successful novelist to a moral philosopher devoted to exploring the nature of love, compassion, and nonviolent resistance. The transformative power of faith profoundly shapes this body of work, showcasing his later abandonment of wealth and societal norms in favor of an ascetic lifestyle that sought to align personal actions with universal moral principles. This collection is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the intersection of literature and spirituality. Tolstoys insights remain strikingly relevant, urging readers to reflect on their own ethical beliefs and the broader implications of their existence. "The Spiritual Works of Leo Tolstoy" serves as a guiding light for those navigating the complexities of the human experience.

este livro "Permanecer em Deus sem Ele nada podemos". Que tem como Sub Título: "Buscar através dos exercícios Espirituais de Santo Inácio de Loyola vencer a si mesmo e ordenar a vida, permanecendo sempre em Deus". No evangelho de Joo 15, 1-8, A palavra-chave deste texto e claramente permanecer, ate pelas vezes que e repetida. O discurso de adeus de Jesus centra-se, agora, na sua relaço com os Apostolos e sobre a comunho real e profunda que ha entre Ele e os que acreditam nele. Enquanto o capitulo 14 de Joo se caracterizava pelo imperativo de acreditar em Jesus, agora caracteriza-se pela exigencia de permanecer n Ele. Encontramos esta mesma imagem de permanecer a proposito da Eucaristia (6, 56). Este permanecer deve portanto entender-se em conexo com a Eucaristia. Jesus esta para enfrentar a morte. Mas continua a ser, para os seus, fonte de vida e de santidade. Unidos a Ele podem dar muito fruto (15, 6). Ao contrario de Israel, videira infecunda e resistente aos cuidados de Deus (cf. Is 5), Jesus e a videira verdadeira, que produz frutos e corresponde aos cuidados do Pai. Com esta imagem, Jesus quer explicar a surpreendente unio vital que oferece aos que nele acreditam, os compromissos que essa unio implica e as expectativas de Deus sobre ela. Jesus e o primogenito da nova humanidade em virtude do sacrificio redentor oferecido na cruz. Ele e a cepa santa, isto e, parte do tronco que se encontra debaixo da terra e esta ligado as raizes, donde brota a seiva que da vida aos ramos e que neles produz frutos. Quem permanece unido a Ele, vive e pode dar frutos. Quem produzir frutos sera purificado para produzir ainda mais. Esta purificaço e realizada pela palavra acolhida no coraço. Este texto nos lembra ainda quando Jesus disse: Sem mim, nada podeis fazer Isso nos humilha porque indica que somos inuteis sem Cristo. Em outras palavras, voce e igual a zero sem Cristo! Porque a frase: Nada podeis fazer Significa que voce no tem utilidade nenhuma. Ou melhor, voce e eu tambem. Somos inuteis sem Cristo. E isso e a pura verdade, simplesmente porque e Jesus que esta dizendo. Claro que teremos oraço, contemplaço e meditaço, e especialmente de cura interior. Veremos que cada espiritualidade, ou carisma tem a sua maneira de rezar, uns contemplativamente, outros na leitura orante, mas todos na busca de se encontrar com Deus Criador, Seu filho Salvador e do Espirito Santo orientador e que nos da ardor para sempre e cada vez mais buscar fazer a vontade de Deus! Pois sem Ele nada podemos, devemos sempre permanecer Nele!

Some books on how to read the Bible are academically informative, but their rationality can make God seem distant. Other books are spiritually vibrant but provide few tools that truly help Gods people read the Bible better. Readers need a guide that combines the academic with the spiritualthat integrates textual analysis with the illuminating and transformational work of the Holy Spirit.Drawing from his experience training students to study the Bible, Andrew Abernethy provides a holistic method that helps readers listen carefully to what God was saying to the original audience and what God is saying to us today. Using clear examples, he lays out six steps: Posture Flow Context Whole Bible Savor God Faithful response Chapters provide guidance on interpreting biblical genres, factoring in historical backgrounds, reading each passage in context, tracing the redemptive storyline of Scripture, and more. Then, building on a strong grasp of Scriptures meaning, readers engage the traditional practice of lectio divina and consider how to respond faithfully to the text. The goal, Abernethy says, is to encounter God and to be shaped by the Word as we savor its richness.Filled with practical features such as illustrations, maps, timelines, and discussion questions, Savoring Scripture is a valuable guide for students and anyone who wants to study the Bible more effectively. God has given us a Bible that is for the hungryfor those willing both to depend on God for provision and to put in the mental effort to enjoy the feast.

For the Christian faith, questions relating to God can essentially be viewed as centred on the person of Jesus Christ. In The New Testament Concept of Atonement, H.D. McDonald uses this key insight to examine mankinds redemption, focussing on Christs atoning act as crucial in shaping Gods relation to humanity and the world. McDonald analyses elements which hold vital meanings and messages for the Christian doctrine of salvation. In the first six chapters he investigates single terms within the New Testament, such as tree or blood whose metonymical association with Christs redeeming act has often become obscured over time. Then, various biblical interpretations of the Calvary event are studied. In the final section, he analyses the importance of the findings in previous chapters and their implications for Christology. Detailed research underpins the text, in the tradition of Reformed biblical scholarship, with care taken to suggest further reading and trace sources.

What is the nature of Christian unity? Is it Sacramental, Organic, Federal, Spiritual? These are questions that demand careful examination when different Christian traditions are drawing closer to one another in a common desire to heal the divisions that hinder the witness of the Church to the world. In any attempt to deal with these questions, full weight must be given to the evidence of the New Testament itself: what kind of unity does it reveal? In New Testament Pattern, Jean-Louis Leuba reveals a two-fold framework of unity in the New Testament. One strand - in its witness to Christ, to the Apostles and to the Church - emphasises the institutional, traditional and particular. The other strand emphasises the personal, dynamic and universal. Yet the two strands are actually one. Their unity is more comprehensive, more creative, than any undifferentiated unity could be, with important implications for ecumenism and broader scriptural study.

In "The Essential Faith of the Universal Church; Deduced from the Sacred Records," Harriet Martineau presents a thoughtful exploration of religious doctrine, meticulously drawing upon sacred texts to distill the core tenets of Christianity. Employing a clear and analytical literary style, Martineau engages with theological concepts in a manner that is both accessible and profound, appealing to both lay readers and scholars alike. Situated within the burgeoning interest of the 19th century in rational faith, this work reflects the eras Enlightenment ideals, striving to reconcile empirical reasoning with spiritual belief, illuminating the shared threads across diverse Christian denominations. Harriet Martineau, a pioneering sociologist and advocate for social reform, was deeply influenced by her own religious upbringing and her evolving views on morality and ethics. Her early exposure to Unitarian thought, coupled with her later skepticism towards orthodox beliefs, informed her quest to uncover an essential, universal faith that transcended sectarian divisions. Martineaus background in journalism and philosophy further equipped her to engage with complex ideas in a manner that was compelling and thought-provoking, positioning her as a significant voice in the discourse surrounding religion and society. For readers seeking a nuanced understanding of Christian faith that moves beyond dogma to seek commonality, Martineaus work is an invaluable resource. Her methodical examination of sacred texts invites readers to reconsider their perceptions of faith and encourages an inclusive dialogue that resonates with contemporary theological discussions. Immerse yourself in Martineaus profound insights, and discover a thoughtful approach to the essence of belief.
