A Spirituality of Perfection

Faith in Action in the Letter of James

By: Patrick J. Hartin

Throughout this century the Letter of James has been viewed consistently as a disjointed set of instructions. Father Hartin deviates radically from this approach. He shows that the "call for perfection" provides a unifying meaning for the letter. Examining the concept of perfection against the background of the Greco-Roman world, the Old Testament, and the Septuagint, the author shows that perfection provides a key to define the spirituality of the Letter of James. It offers an understanding of God and of the way one is called "to be in the world." Hartin adopts a fresh approach toward understanding the categories of wisdom, eschatology, and apocalyptic as they illuminate the letter's advice.

The Moral Life According to Mark

The Moral Life According to Mark

By: M. John-Patrick O’Connor

M. John-Patrick O'Connor proposes that - in contrast to recent contemporary scholarship that rarely focuses on the ethical implications of discipleship and Christology - Mark's Gospel, as our earliest life of Jesus, presents a theological description of the moral life. Arguing for Mark's ethical validity in comparison to Matthew and Luke, O'Connor begins with an analysis of the moral environment of ancient biographies, exploring what types of Jewish and Greco-Romanic conceptions of morality found their way into Hellenistic biographies. Turning to the Gospel's own examples of morality, O'Connor examines moral accountability according to Mark, including moral reasoning, the nature of a world in conflict, and accountability in both God's family and to God's authority. He then turns to images of the accountable self, including an analysis of virtues and virtuous practices within the Gospel. O'Connor concludes with the personification of evil, human responsibility, punitive consequences, and evil's role in Mark's moral landscape.

Journey into Newness

The Soul-Making Power of a Wilderness

By: Patrick C. Heston

Wilderness periods of our lives—those dry and desperate seasons when God seems distant and detached, perhaps even indifferent or impotent—can seem an abnormal and painful part of our lives that simply must be painfully plodded through and somehow endured. Yet, far from being something abnormal and life-threatening, like a cancer invading our bodies, wilderness periods represent a fundamental element of our life in the Spirit and part of God’s well-orchestrated plan to guarantee that we become and possess everything he desires for us.

Ecclesiology and the Scriptural Narrative of 1 Peter

Ecclesiology and the Scriptural Narrative of 1 Peter

By: Patrick T Egan

The relationship between the Church and the Scriptures of Israel is fraught with complexities, particularly about how the first Christians read Scripture alongside the Gospel of Christ. Patrick T. Egan examines the text of 1 Peter in the light of its numerous quotations of Scripture and demonstrates how the epistle sets forth a scriptural narrative that explains the nature and purpose of the Church. Egan argues that 1 Peter sets forth an ecclesiology based in a participatory Christology, in which the Church endures suffering in imitation of Jesus's role as the suffering servant. The epistle admonishes the Church to a high moral standard in response to Christ's atoning work while also encouraging the Church to place hope in God's final vindication of his people. Addressing the churches of Asia Minor, 1 Peter applies the Scriptural narrative to the Church in unexpected ways.

The Fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant

The Fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant

A Hermeneutical and Exegetical Analysis of Three Evangelical Views

By: Patrick W. Nasongo

The author discusses three major hermeneutical views concerning the fulfillment of the promises God made in the Davidic Covenant—that is, a house (dynasty), a kingdom (realm), and a throne (right to rule). He shows how the adherents of each view differ regarding the timing and nature of the fulfillment of each aspect. He also investigates the hermeneutical methodology of each view to determine how they arrived at their conclusions, and then he analyzes their conclusions from an exegetical perspective. Furthermore, he explains in detail and defends the view he considers to be biblical. Most of all, in an age where compromise on biblical interpretation has become the norm, he encourages his readers to interpret the Scriptures according to the normal laws of language in order to arrive at their intended meaning. I am honored to endorse this book for Patrick Nasongo. His extensive research reveals why three prominent evangelical approaches differ in their interpretations of the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant. His analysis is fair and the reader will learn much about each methodology. Larry A. Tyler, Ph.D. Dean, Bowman School of Bible & Theology Temple Baptist Seminary

Advent to Pentecost

Comparing the Seasons in the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite

By: Patrick Regan

Advent to Pentecost

Comparing the Seasons in the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite

By: Patrick Regan

Since 2007, use of the Roman Missal of 1962 has been broadly permitted within the church. This creates, in effect, two liturgical years running concurrently. In Advent to Pentecost, Abbot Patrick Regan compares the prayers and prefaces, readings and rubrics, calendar and chants of the 1962 Missal with those of the Missal as it was revised following the Second Vatican Council, now in its third edition. The result is a striking demonstration of the splendor and superiority of the reformed Missal over its predecessor, at least as far as the liturgical year is concerned. Regan's chapters on Advent, Lent, and the Easter Season are particularly informative because these seasons are so different in the two missals. Perhaps less obvious are the differences between Holy Week and the Triduum. Regan not only describes external modifications in the services as restored by Pius XII in 1956 but explores deeper theological currents, especially in the relationship between the passion and resurrection of the Lord in the one paschal mystery, to show how advances in this area find expression in the current Triduum celebrations and throughout the fifty days of Easter. The originality of the book lies mainly here. The most urgent liturgical challenge today, the author contends, is to raise the ars celebrandi to the same level of excellence as the Missal itself.

Civilizing Sex

On Chastity and the Common Good

By: Patrick Riley

A fascinating account of the role of sex as a civilizing force in the west, this lucid and compelling book contends that keeping sex within marriage is essential for the well-being of any society. Riley explores the Judaeo-Christian tradition on marriage and sexuality and shows how marriage came to contain the force of sexuality, harnessing its energies to serve both the family and the wider community. He argues that the idea that sex is entirely a private issue is an error with potentially disastrous consequences both for the individual and for society.

Le leadership Spirituel: Un besoin pour l'église

By: Patrick Etoughé A.

Ce livre offre des perspectives bibliques sur la question du leadership ainsi que sur les différents aspects nécessaires que Dieu veut voir dans la gestion de son agenda non pas le notre. Les leaders pour Dieu n'ont pas été appelés à produire des résultats en dehors de la volonté divine, à l'exemple de Jésus Christ lui même qui n'a pas eu de vision, mais à montré qu'être leader c'est d'abord de suivre et d'obéir le plan établit par Dieu. Ce livre remet les choses à l'ordre du jour du divin. C'est un livre théologique et par conséquent présentant que des vues bibliques sur le leadership pour aider quiconque à être un serviteur de Dieu pour sa gloire.

Quatre pratiques qui divisent l’église Le deuil, le voile des femmes, applaudir, et danser dans le lieu du culte

By: Etoughé A. Patrick

L'église n'a jamais été si embourbée, avec non seulement des désorientations théologiques, mais elle est aussi minée par des pratiques qui sapent sa confiance même à encourager la Bible d'informer ses pratiques et coutumes dans le culte rendu à Dieu. De nos jours, nous avons oublié le conseil de Paul, "mais, si je tarde, tu sauras comment il faut se conduire dans la maison de Dieu, qui est l'Eglise du Dieu vivant, la colonne et l'appui de la vérité" (1 Tim 3:15).

Que dit la Bible sur La Possession démoniaque et la prière pour les malades

By: Patrick Etoughé Anani

Que dit la Bible sur La Possession démoniaque et la prière pour les malades est un livre qui apporte une clarification de ce que la Bible enseigne sur l'origine de Satan et des démons, leurs forces et faiblesse ; le plus faible des saints, grâce à la prière et à la puissance de Dieu, ne doit pas craindre ses ennemis cachés, mais impuissants grâce au sang de Jésus. La promesse du Seigneur est véritable : « Voici, je vous ai donné le pouvoir de marcher sur les serpents et les scorpions, et sur toute la puissance de l'ennemi; et rien ne pourra vous nuire» (Luc 10 :19 ; cf. Ps 91 :13).
