The Sacred Writings of Saint Hilary of Poitiers – Hilary of Poitiers

Hilary, bishop of Poitiers, holds the highest rank among the Latin writers of his century.

This edition contains his most important texts.

The Key Of The Mysteries

Publiziert am 21. März 2018 von Jazzybee

The Key Of The Mysteries – Eliphas Levi

This volume represents the high-water mark of the thought of Eliphas Levi. It may be regarded as written by him as his Thesis for the Grade of Exempt Adept, just as his “Ritual and Dogma” was his Thesis for the grade of a Major Adept. He is, in fact, no longer talking of things as if their sense was fixed and universal. He is beginning to see something of the contradiction inherent in the nature of things, or at any rate, he constantly illustrates the fact that the planes are to be kept separate for practical purposes, although in the final analysis they turn out to be one. This, and the extraordinarily … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Jeremiah 10 – 19

Publiziert am 6. März 2018 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Jeremiah 10 – 19 – John Calvin

The Commentaries On Jeremiah, like those on The Minor Prophets, were delivered as Lectures In The Theological School At Geneva, taken down by some of the Pupils, and afterwards read to Calvin, and corrected. We find in them the production of the same vigorous and expansive mind: The Divine Oracles are faithfully explained, the meaning is clearly stated, and such brief deductions are made as the subjects legitimately warrant. Though the Lectures were extemporaneously delivered, there is yet so much order preserved, and such brevity, clearness, and suitableness of diction are found in them, that in these respects they nearly equal the most finished compositions of Calvin as … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Canons Of Dordrecht

Publiziert am 6. März 2018 von Jazzybee

The Canons Of Dordrecht – Synod of Dordrecht

The Canons of Dordrecht is the judgment of the National Synod held in the Dutch city of Dordrecht in 1618-19. Today, these canons are part of the Three Forms of Unity, one of the confessional standards of many of the Reformed churches around the world, including the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia, and North America. Their continued use as a standard still forms an unbridgable problem preventing close cooperation between the followers of Jacob Arminius, the Remonstrants, and Dutch Reformed Churches.

Reincarnation – A Study In Human Evolution – Theophile Pascal

It it more than 1500 years since the decision of the Council of 543 a.d. condemned to oblivion sublime teachings which ought to have been carefully preserved and handed down to future generations as a beacon amid social reefs; teachings that would have uprooted that frightful egoism which threatens to annihilate the world, and instilled patience into the hearts of such as were being crushed beneath the wheel of the cosmic law, by showing them the scales of Justice inclining to the side filled with their iniquities of bygone times; teachings which would have been welcomed by the masses, and the understanding of which would not have called for any … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Sacred Writings of Saint Basil

Publiziert am 27. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of Saint Basil – Saint Basil

The principal theological writings of Basil, bishop of Caesarea, are his De Spiritu Sancto, a lucid and edifying appeal to Scripture and early Christian tradition, and his three books against Eunomius, the chief exponent of Anomoian Arianism. He was a famous preacher, and many of his homilies, including a series of lenten lectures on the Hexaëmeron, and an exposition of the psalter, have been preserved. His ascetic tendencies are exhibited in the Moralia and Regulae, ethical manuals for use in the world and the cloister respectively. His three hundred letters reveal a rich and observant nature, which, despite the troubles of ill-health and ecclesiastical unrest, remained optimistic, tender and even playful. … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Publiziert am 27. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of Saint Barnabas – Barnabas

The Epistle of Barnabas contains no clue to its author nor to those for whom it was intended. Its aim is to impart to its readers the perfect wisdom (gnosis), that is an exact knowledge of the economy of salvation. It is made up of two parts, the subject of each being announced in verses 6 and 7 of the first chapter. The first part (ch. i-v, 4) is hortatory; in the evil days that are now at hand in which the end of the world and the Judgment shall appear, the faithful, freed from the bonds of the Jewish ceremonial law, are to practise the virtues and to flee from sin. … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Mystical City of God Vol. 4: The Coronation

The Mystical City of God Vol. 4: The Coronation – Mary of Agreda

At thirty-five Mary Agreda began her Mystical City of God, which was the fruit of her daily meditations and rapt states of contemplation. When this work appeared it was hailed with almost unanimous applause by the bishops of Spain. The Spanish Inquisition, always rigid in its censorship, regarded it as almost, if not wholly, of divine revelation. The Sorbonne at Paris held thirty-two stances, in which five hundred and fifty doctors discussed its merits, but finally condemned it with true national hostility to Spain. At Rome it was indeed placed on the Index, but was removed shortly after by command of the pope himself, some say at … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
