The Mandate of Heaven

Hidden History in the Book of Changes

By: S J Marshall,S. J. Marshall

The Mandate of Heaven was originally given to King Wen in the 11th century BC. King Wen is credited with founding the Zhou dynasty after he received the Mandate from Heaven to attack and overthrow the Shang dynasty. King Wen is also credited with creating the ancient oracle known as the Yijing or Book of Changes. This book validates King Wen's association with the Changes. It uncovers in the Changes a record of a total solar eclipse that was witnessed at King Wen's capital of Feng by his son King Wu, shortly after King Wen had died (before he had a chance to launch the full invasion). The sense of this eclipse as an actual event has been overlooked for three millennia. It provides an account of the events surrounding the conquest of the Shang and founding of the Zhou dynasty that has never been told. It shows how the earliest layer of the Book of Changes (the Zhouyi) has preserved a hidden history of the Conquest.

The Concealed Chaos Series

By: S.J. Mounsor, S.G. Winter

The world of Tannrias is soon about to face dark forces of destruction that have yet to be discovered by most of these diverse groups of races who consider Tannrias their home. During these dire times of the darkness that has yet to consume the realm of Tannrias, full of life, some groups since the beginning of their establishment have revealed to the world themselves as holy, righteous folk based on their appearances and actions, but looks and actions can always be deceiving. Sidgbrienn Trosgrid, the son of Chief Rogradin Trosgrid of the island Throzgar, suffered an ill-fated omen according to Throzgarian culture. However, fate may not yet have fully abandoned the young Throzgarian. It may indeed show him another path which will use him as one of the prime pieces Tannrias may depend on for delaying the darkness that is growing there. In addition, fate may have Sidgbrienn cross paths with folk who are willing to help him against the forces of wickedness and corruption for the same reason Sidgbrienn defies the two conflicts while others may simply join him for their own agenda. Can these different agendas affect the future of Tannrias and others in the long run, and can some factions established in Tannrias be involved with the mysterious darkness that has yet to reveal itself?

The Cotton Industry and Trade

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Cotton Industry and Trade

By: S.J. Chapman

First published in 1905, this volume on the Cotton Industry emerged in the context of Joseph Chamberlain’s proposed Tariff Reform and provided an academic perspective on the industry. The author, S.J. Chapman, was an established historian of Lancashire cotton and produced this volume as an elementary introduction to the economics of the industry and some of its issues. He discusses the raw material, industrial and commercial history, British trade and foreign tariffs, exploring the historical influence of tariffs on the cotton trade and including two articles reprinted from the Manchester Guardian. The newspaper was strongly affiliated with the Liberal Party who would win a landslide victory the following year based in part on their opposition to Tariff Reform.

Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, The

A Lived Experience

By: O'Collins, Gerald, SJ

The book follows the structure of the Spiritual Exercises, commenting on major themes in what Ignatius calls the First Week, the Second Week, the Third Week, and the Fourth Week, ending with the Contemplation for Attaining Love. It engages the audience by introducing fresh reflections on the Principle and Foundation (to be read in the context of late medieval marriage vows), and by using, at length, several episodes in the Gospel stories (e.g. the nativity of Christ, the call to service of Peter’s mother-in-law, the particular approaches of the evangelists to Christ’s passion and death, and the place of Ch. 21 in John’s theology of love) to show how contemporary biblical interpretation enriches possibilities for prayer. Resources for prayer are drawn from Christian painting, sculpture, music, literature (e.g., Pascal and Kierkegaard) and poetry. The author explores links between the Exercises and the traditional practice of lectio divina. In doing this, he illustrates the scope of teaching on lectio divina coming from the Second Vatican Council and shows how translators and commentators have missed the Council’s use of the technical term lectio divina.

On Earth as It Is in Heaven

Cultivating a Contemporary Theology of Creation

By: David Vincent Meconi S.J.

With the recent publication of Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si', many people of faith have found themselves challenged to seek new ways of responding to serious ecological questions essential to the flourishing of all creatures. On Earth as It Is in Heaven brings together fifteen top scholars to consider pressing contemporary environmental concerns through the lens of Catholic theology.Drawing from ancient Christian sources, the contributors delve into such diverse topics as equitable food distribution, responsible procreation, land stewardship, evolutionary theodicy, and poverty and providence. A concluding essay addresses the liturgy as the space in which all creation is consecrated before the cross of Christ. Allowing the earliest Church Fathers and voices from the Christian tradition to speak to our unique circumstances today, this engaging volume shows that ancient, creedal Christianity contains important insights into caring for God's creation.

Understanding Sunday Gospels

December 3, 2017–November 25, 2018

By: John Kilgallen SJ

This book explains each Sundays gospel reading at mass; that is, each of the books essays means to show what the author wanted to convey to his audience through his writing. These essays, intentionally kept brief, are not homilies, but they clarify the evangelists mind and intention in his gospel preaching. We hope that this book will help the Catholic, whether in the pew or in the pulpit, to appreciate the wisdom of each Sundays gospel.

Thus Says the Lord

The Prophets in the Liturgy

By: Richard J. Clifford, SJ

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Thus Says the Lord

The Prophets in the Liturgy

By: Richard J. Clifford, SJ

All year long the prophets speak to us at Mass, often beginning their message with “Thus says the Lord.” They thunder. They comfort. They scold. They encourage. They sometimes speak in beautiful poetry, often sounding urgent, sometimes sounding strange. Their purpose was to reveal to the people what God expected, and now, over two and a half millennia later, they are still fulfilling that purpose. Although we can usually catch connections between the readings from the Old Testament prophets and the readings of the New Testament, most of us don’t know much about the actual situations the prophets were responding to when they wrote, or what it was like to be a prophet in the ancient world. Old Testament scholar Richard J. Clifford sj has written this book to help us understand the prophets and so draw more meaning from their words in the liturgy. He begins with what we hear at Mass—with the way the lectionary presents the prophets to us now, in contrast to the way they were heard (seldomly) before the Second Vatican Council. The author explains how we can best interpret the prophets—in their own context and within the Christian tradition. Professor Clifford takes us into the ancient near east to explain the calling of the prophet. He introduces us to those who prefigured the prophets, such as Abraham and Moses, then to those we know from the many stories about them—Elijah and Elisha. He moves on to the many prophets who wrote as well as preached (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Baruch, Amos, and so forth), and then he zooms in on Isaiah, the prophet we hear from most often in the liturgy. In this survey, the author explains what is known about each prophet and the situation in which he worked, then discusses how the text associated with him is structured, its distinguishing features, and what parts of it appear in the lectionary. Finally, we learn how the prophets communicated effectively in their oral society, how they understood their mission, and how they understood God's purpose. This brief but deep and sympathetic introduction to the prophets will help readers proclaim the prophets’ words with more empathy and understanding. It will fascinate Bible study and Scripture sharing groups, and it will help interested assembly members appreciate more fully the meaning of the prophets’ messages—for their audience and for us.

James I

By: S.J. Houston

Since publication in 1973 James I has established itself as one of the most popular short accounts of James I's reign. The First Edition was described by John Morrill as `a far better, shrewder, more incisive account of the reign' than the available competition Seventeenth-Century Britain, 1980. The text has now been entirely rewritten to take account of the latest historiography and students will continue to welcome this accessible analysis of the problems, weaknesses and achievements of James I as it enables them to participate in the revisionist arguments that make the study of this period so stimulating.

The Society of Jesus in Ireland, Scotland, and England, 1598–1606

“Lest Our Lamp be Entirely Extinguished”

By: Thomas M. McCoog, S.J.

In 1598, Jesuit missions in Ireland, Scotland, and England were either suspended, undermanned, or under attack. With the Elizabethan government’s collusion, secular clerics hostile to Robert Persons and his tactics campaigned in Rome for the Society’s removal from the administration of continental English seminaries and from the mission itself. Continental Jesuits alarmed by the English mission’s idiosyncratic status within the Society, sought to restrict the mission’s privileges and curb its independence. Meanwhile the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, the subject that dared not speak its name, had become a more pressing concern. One candidate, King James VI of Scotland, courted Catholic support with promises of conversion. His peaceful accession in 1603 raised expectations, but as the royal promises went unfulfilled, anger replaced hope.

Surreptitious Spirits

By: S. J. Ateca

In her first case, Surreptitious Spirits, Angelene pierces the veil of mystery which enshrouds the uncanny circumstances surrounding an inexplicable disappearance of two prominent brothers, one an archeologist, and the other an anthropologist involved in the discovery of the century. Angelene is forced into an uneasy alliance with a mysterious stranger with a common agenda. Together they vanquish a crop of dangerous underworld figures, including a sinister minister and his misguided followers. In her second case, On Satan’s Doorstep, Angelene finds herself pulled from her current case concerning the disappearance of the troubled teenager of one of the Windy City’s most influential couples, only to be reassigned to the gruesome murder of her employer’s son. It doesn’t take long for Angelene to discover the two cases are horribly intertwined, and that she can trust no one. In Angelene’s third case, Of Monsters’ and Men, she finds herself completely swept off her feet by a handsome English billionaire with a very mysterious past; he very well may be one of the world’s most horrific murderers. All the while Angelene attempts to untangle a sinister web of intrigue and deceit ensnaring her which constitutes the missing person case on which she is working, spun by Chicago’s Chinatown underworld’s most dangerous criminal queen. In Angelene’s fourth case, The Moon Also Rises, Chicago’s premiere Private Investigator finds herself combing the streets of the Windy City tracking down a ferocious killer with the aid of two deep cover operatives and uncovers a close friend’s hairy secret past. This time our heroine may have bitten off more than she can chew. As usual, Angelene Alatorre’s cases have one thing in common; the more light that gets shed on them the darker they become. The Trojan Dark Horse In her fifth case, after long exhausting months of intense investigation which lead our heroine, Angelene Alatorre and Her cousin Dominic, a government agent, on a trail of obscure clues across two continents, the pair return home to the Windy City, Chicago. She returns to her place of employment, the Steinmetz Security and Detective Agency, from her sabbatical only to find she has been assigned the task of personal bodyguard to Mr. Grant Schutte. Mr. Schutte is a billionaire real estate developer whose latest ambition is the Presidency of the United States of America. It doesn’t take long for Angelene to discover why Mr. Schutte needs her services. Eventually, due to her latest assignment, Angelene discovers the greatest threat to humanity has been hiding in her own backyard.

Philo of Alexandria

By: Jean Danielou SJ

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Philo of Alexandria

By: Jean Danielou SJ

Philo of Alexandria was a few years older than Jesus of Nazareth and lived longer. He belonged to a wealthy and cultured family, prominent in the Jewish community in Alexandria. Philo had contacts with the highest level of Roman authorities. He was on a risky diplomatic mission to Caligula on behalf of the persecuted Jews of Alexandria during what turned out to be Caligula's last days. Herod Agrippa was a friend in Rome during Philo's hour of greatest need. Philo is a sympathetic source on what sounds very much like a contemporary Jewish monastic movement. He is also one of the creators of the allegorical interpretation of Scripture. Some of his exegesis is reminiscent of Pythagorean numerology. It has been argued that Philo, who was well educated in Greek thought, was the founder of medieval philosophy. St. John seems to adapt Philo's thoughts about the Logos, the Word, in the prologue to his Gospel. There are also close ties between Philo's thinking and the Letter to the Hebrews. Jean Danielou, a paradigm of scholarship and clarity, makes Philo speak to us in his own voice. Anyone interested in patristics, exegesis, or simply Christian beginnings will benefit by reading Danielou's treatment of Philo.

The Psalms

Their Origin and Meaning

By: Leopold Sabourin SJ

The psalms--the prayers of the chosen people, the prayers of the people of God--have a spontaneity and timeless pertinence which is unique. They are an integral part of Christian liturgies; yet they pose difficulties for many who sense that they have sprung from a cultural milieu which is totally alien to our own. This problem can only be solved by a careful study of their origins, their literary structures, their content, and their intent. A vast literature has grown up around the psalter. But modern biblical discoveries, research, and scholarship have opened the way to a greater understanding and finer appreciation of the inspired prayers. The author, one of the leading exegetes of our time, has produced a monumental and comprehensive work which reflects his vast research and erudite judgment. The scholar and the biblical student will find this thorough treatment invaluable. And educated men of all religions, who share a common invaluable scriptural tradition, should also find it essentially helpful and enlightening. This many-faceted work clearly illustrates that biblical scholarship knows no denominational boundaries. The psalter is a bridge of prayer in this ecumenical age, and readers will find the author's insights and analyses most helpful in making the psalms more vital in their lives and a more unifying bond in man's search for God in our time.

The Society of Jesus in Ireland, Scotland, and England 1541-1588

“Our Way of Proceeding?”

By: Thomas M. McCoog, S.J.

This volume is the first comprehensive study of the work of the Society of Jesus in the British Isles during the sixteenth century. Beginning with an account of brief papal missions to Ireland (1541) and Scotland (1562), it goes on to cover the foundation of a permanent mission to England (1580) and the frustration of Catholic hopes with the failure of the Spanish Armada (1588). Throughout the book, the activities of the Jesuits - preaching, propaganda, prayer and politics - are set within a wider European context, and within the framework of the Society's Constitutions. In particular, the sections on religious life and involvement in diplomacy show how flexibly the Jesuits adapted their "way of proceeding" to the religious and political circumstances of the British Isles, and to the demands of the Counter-Reformation.

Negotiating Cultures

Bilingual Surrender Treaties in Muslim-Crusader Spain under James the Conqueror

By: William C.G. Burns,Paul Chevedden

James I "the Conqueror", king of Arago-Catalonia, conquered Mediterranean Spain from Islam during fifty crusading years (1225-1276). From his many surrender treaties, only two survive in their interlinear bilingual originals, both presented here. Each reflects the fragmentation of post-Almohad Islam, the warrior heroes of Islam carving recalcitrant principalities out of the confusion, the hard-fought local negotiations and the confrontation between two radically opposed mentalities. The full meaning of these battered and deteriorated bits of parchment emerges only from minute reconstruction of the Arabic and Latinate texts and especially from ever-widening circles of changing contexts in each world, an historical kaleidoscope. Many surprises here await students of medieval Europe, the Islamic West, Spain, the Crusades, diplomacy, Mudejars/Moriscos, and cultural conflict and interchange.

An Introduction to the Crusades

By: S.J. Allen

An Introduction to the Crusades, part of the Companions to Medieval Studies series, is an accessible guide to studying the complex history of the Crusades. The book begins by defining the Crusades, giving the political and social context of Byzantium, Western Europe, the Islamic States, and Jewish communities to set the scene for crusading from the eleventh century to the end of the medieval period. It then immerses the reader in the logistics of crusading and the day-to-day life of a crusader, explaining arms and armor, strategy and tactics, and siege warfare. Topics explored in depth include women on crusade, pilgrimage, the Mongols, crusade charters, and the use of crusader rhetoric throughout history. A case study chapter on the negotiations for Jerusalem between Saladin and Richard I provides insight into the process of historical inquiry and methods for engaging with primary sources. The book is pedagogically grounded through the inclusion of questions for reflection, sixteen images, four maps, a detailed chronology, a glossary, a "Who's Who" of the crusading world, and a bibliography.

Cornwall, Connectivity and Identity in the Fourteenth Century

By: S. J. Drake

The links between Cornwall, a county frequently considered remote and separate in the Middle Ages, and the wider realm of England are newly discussed. Winner of The Federation of Old Cornwall Societies (FOCS) Holyer an Gof Cup for non-fiction, 2020. Stretching out into the wild Atlantic, fourteenth-century Cornwall was a land at the very ends of the earth. Within itsboundaries many believed that King Arthur was a real-life historical Cornishman and that their natal shire had once been the home of mighty giants. Yet, if the county was both unusual and remarkable, it still held an integral place in the wider realm of England. Drawing on a wide range of published and archival material, this book seeks to show how Cornwall remained strikingly distinctive while still forming part of the kingdom. It argues that myths, saints, government, and lordship all endowed the name and notion of Cornwall with authority in the minds of its inhabitants, forging these people into a commonalty. At the same time, the earldom-duchy and the Crown together helped to link the county into the politics of England at large. With thousands of Cornishmen and women drawn east of the Tamar by the needs of the Crown, warfare, lordship, commerce, the law, the Church, and maritime interests, connectivity with the wider realm emerges as a potent integrative force. Supported by a cast of characters ranging from vicious pirates and gentlemen-criminals through to the Black Prince, the volume sets Cornwall in the latest debates about centralisation, devolution, and collective identity, about the nature of Cornishness and Englishness themselves. S.J. DRAKE is a Research Associate at the Institute of Historical Research. He was born and brought up in Cornwall.

Our Hebraic Roots

Digging Into the Purpose of God's Celebrations

By: S. J. Stalder

Most people have heard of Hanukkah, but few have heard of the seven feasts given to them by God. What are the Bible stories behind the celebrations such as Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits or Pentecost, that have been fulfilled by the First Coming of Jesus? If you already celebrate them, are you just going through the motions, or do you know what and why you're commemorating? If you don't already celebrate them, what's stopping you from understanding the Hebraic roots of Christianity? Follow author S. J. Stalder through God's celebrations to understand how the Bible stories you read as a child have a deeper meaning that point to the first and second coming of the Messiah. Our Hebraic Roots not only tells the biblical stories, but also offers explanation of the historical context and the Hebrew words for names, places, and groups of people. Unlike anything out there, this unique book merges the two great faiths of the Bible—Judaism and Christianity. Learn and pass on these timeless traditions to the generations after you.

Religion, Law, and Power : The Making of Protestant Ireland 1660-1760

The Making of Protestant Ireland 1660-1760

By: S. J. Connolly

This is a study of religion, politics, and society in a period of great significance in modern Irish history. The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries saw the consolidation of the power of the Protestant landed class, the enactment of penal laws against Catholics, and constitutional conflicts that forced Irish Protestants to redefine their ideas of national identity. S. J. Connolly's scholarly and wide-ranging study examines these developments and sets them in their historical context. The Ireland that emerges from his lucid and penetrating analysis was essentially a part of ancien r--eacute--;gime Europe: a pre-industrialized society, in which social order depended less on a ramshackle apparatus of coercion than on complex structures of deference and mutual accommodation, along with the absence of credible challengers to the dominance of a landed --eacute--;lite; in which the ties of patronage and clientship were often more important than horizontal bonds of shared economic or social position; and in which religion remained a central part of personal and political motivation. - ;Abbreviations; Introduction; I.

Of Prophets and Kings

A Late Ninth-Century Document (1 Samuel 1-2 Kings 10)

By: Antony F. Campbell

This erudite book presents the evidence for an early document, extending from 1 Sam 1:1 to 2 Kgs 10:28 and deriving from northern prophetic circles toward the end of the ninth century B.C. and identifies the text of this document, without appeal to emendation or dislocation of the present OT text. This book also considers its significance and some of the consequences which derive from it.
