The teachings of St Teresa of Avila about personal prayer. The practicality of St. Teresa's teaching about mental prayer shines through in this wonderful synopsis of her writings about it--something she said "the whole world could not purchase." Learn how we should pray, in order to grow in the spiritual life. Imprimatur.
First published in 1966, this book chronicles a full eight centuries of the Carmelite tradition, from the order’s beginnings as a group of lay hermits on Mount Carmel through St. Teresa of Avila’s Discalced Carmelite Reform in the 16th century, to Carmel’s rich diversity today. Since the appearance of this work, important new discoveries in the study of Carmelite history have come to the fore. New scholarly research, for example, would call for a revision of some sections of this book, notably the account of the origins of the Carmelites and related dates and figures, as well a more nuanced picture of the beginnings of the Teresian Reform. In the meantime, Journey to Carith remains unsurpassed as a concise and readable overview both of the origins of the order and of the Discalced Carmelites in particular. It is a fascinating account of one of the oldest religious families in the Christian West, with a uniquely important spiritual tradition.

Aus Anlass des 500. Geburtstages von Heinrich Bullinger (1504-1575) fand im Jahre 2004 ein internationaler wissenschaftlicher Kongress in Zurich statt, organisiert durch das Institut fur Schweizerische Reformationsgeschichte der Universitat Zurich. Die Beitrage von Forscherinnen und Forschern aus zahlreichen Landern liegen nun in diesem Sammelband vor. Sie lassen in ihrer thematischen und perspektivischen Vielfalt etwas von der Bedeutung und Ausstrahlung des Werkes des Zurcher Reformators erkennen. Als Gesamtes ubermitteln sie den Lesenden ein Bild uber den Stand der Bullingerforschung und ihre Verankerung in der Historiographie der Fruhen Neuzeit. Sie tragen so gleichzeitig dazu bei, Heinrich Bullinger den ihm gebuhrenden Platz in der Geschichte zuruckzugeben. Emidio Campi, Dr. theol., Jahrgang 1943, ist Professor fur Kirchengeschichte sowie Leiter des Instituts fur Schweizerische Reformationsgeschichte der Universitat Zurich. Peter Opitz, PD Dr. theol., Jahrgang 1957, ist Oberassistent am Institut fur Schweizerische Reformationsgeschichte der Universitat Zurich.
