The Harmony Of The Gospels

Publiziert am 12. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Harmony Of The Gospels – St. Augustine of Hippo

The most weighty of the doctrinal treatises is that on the Holy Trinity. The Latin original (De Trinitate contra Arianos libri quindecim), is contained in the 8th volume of the Benedictine edition. It is the most elaborate, and probably also the ablest and profoundest patristic discussion of this central doctrine of the Christian religion, unless we except the Orations against the Arians, by Athanasius, “the Father of Orthodoxy,” who devoted his life to the defense of the Divinity of Christ. Augustine, owing to his defective knowledge of Greek, wrote his work independently of the previous treatises of the Eastern Church on that subject. He bestowed more time and care upon … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Real History of the Rosicrucians

Publiziert am 7. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Real History of the Rosicrucians – Arthur Edward Waite

The author has essayed to collect the mass of material which exists for the elucidation of this curious problem of European history, and to depict the mysterious brotherhood as they are revealed in their own manifestoes. The work is clear in statement and replete with learning, and affords the first complete and trustworthy account of the origin, development, and decay of Rosicrucianism ever published in English.

The Philosophy Of Natural Magic

Publiziert am 6. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Philosophy Of Natural Magic – Agrippa von Nettesheim

In the last half of 1509 and the first months of 1510, Cornelius Agrippa, known in his day as a Magician, gathered together all the Mystic lore he had obtained by the energy and ardor of youth and compiled it into the elaborate system of Magic, in three books, known as Occult Philosophy, the first book of which–Natural Magic–constitutes the present volume. This is true and sublime Occult Philosophy. To understand the mysterious influences of the intellectual world upon the celestial, and of both upon the terrestrial; and to know how to dispose and fit ourselves so as to be capable of receiving the superior operations of these worlds, whereby we … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Sacred Writings of St. Ignatius

Publiziert am 5. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of St. Ignatius

More than one of the earliest ecclesiastical writers have given credence, though apparently without good reason, to the legend that Ignatius was the child whom the Savior took up in His arms, as described in Mark 9:35. It is also believed, and with great probability, that, with his friend Polycarp, he was among the auditors of the Apostle St. John. Among others this volume features The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians, The Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians, The Epistle of Ignatius to the Trallians, The Epistle of Ignatius to the Romans ,The Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians, The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans, The Epistle of Ignatius to Polycarp and … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
