Christianity After Religion (Hardcover) $16.87 "In her latest book, religion expert Diana Butler Bass offers a fresh interpretation of this transformation and identifies a new spiritual awakening taking place inside and outside the church. Based on new research and a careful reading of history, CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION argues that traditional Christianity has focused on three prescriptions, in this order: – This is what to believe (theology) – This is how to behave (practice) – This is who you are (experience and community) However, as modern people began to increasingly question their basic beliefs about their faith, disillusionment ensued and Christians began leaving the church as national studies reveal. Spirituality, by contrast, works in the reverse: people experience a connection to the divine directly and through community, are moved to change and serve others, and eventually discover what they believe. CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION shows how this new bottom-up approach represents the real mission and message of Jesus and explains the dramatic spiritual awakening we are witnessing today. Replete with both statistical analysis and the testimonies of grassroots movements around the country, Bass`s latest book shows us how to approach our own faith with a newfound freedom that is both life-giving and service driven. CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION will appeal to both the news media and the large audience that made her first Harper book, Christianity For the Rest of Us, a success"– |

”Road to Damascus” for piano and orchestra. $49.99 Road to Damascus for Piano and Orchestra is based on the story of the Apostle Paul’s repentance and conversion to Christianity. This dramatic event is one of the most inspirational in the New Testament. Also, through this momentous story, Paul is admired by many artists in various genres of art. Road to Damascus is a programmatic work, divided into three sections according to the story development. The three sections reflect specific scenes from the Bible: Acts 6:8-60, Acts 9:1-9, and Acts 9:10-31, respectively. The story starts from the scene of St. Stephen’s tragic yet divine martyrdom after his last sermon, in which Saul (later known as Paul) was present as a persecutor. The second section narrates Saul’s journey to Damascus to further oppress Christians, during which he meets God in the light and turns blind. The last section is about the three days of prayer of repentance after the blinding event, followed by Paul’s regained sight and subsequent discipleship.;The first section, Lamentoso, can be described as an elegy for St. Stephen. It begins in an intense pathos created by dotted rhythms and lamenting melody. This rhythmic motive is a dominant musical ingredient in all sections, but its character varies according to each section’s mood. The piano writing is narrative in style, as though it is implying a certain kind of message. The opening of the second section is dramatically articulated with brass and percussion instruments. In this section, the piano’s narrative style is displayed to back up the orchestra, and the tempo is altered to progress the story. The first climax is reached with an orchestral tutti in dotted rhythm, as if recollecting the first section. An introspective and meditative piano solo then enters to begin the last section. The new theme is accompanied by violin and bassoon. Its melodic fragments (D Eb G D C#) are reused and developed through manipulation between and among the instrumental groups. The finale is articulated by chimes |

Having survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire during Late Antiquity , the Byzantine Empire continued to function until its conquest by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. In the context of Byzantine history, the period from about 1081 to about 1185 is often known as the Komnenian or Comnenian period, after the Komnenos dynasty. Together, the five Komnenian emperors (Alexios I , John II , Manuel I , Alexios II and Andronikos I ) ruled for 104 years, presiding over a sustained, though ultimately incomplete, restoration of the military, territorial, economic and political position of the Byzantine Empire. As a human institution, Byzantium under the Komnenoi played a key role in the history of the Crusades in the Holy Land , while also exerting enormous cultural and political influence in Europe, the Near East, and the lands around the Mediterranean Sea.

1179 Establishments: Croxden Abbey, Bishopric of Brixen, Wigmore Abbey, Drigung Monastery, Llantarnam Abbey, Roman Catholic Diocese of Ischia $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Coat of arms The Bishopric of Brixen is a former Roman Catholic diocese and also a former ecclesiastical state of the Holy Roman Empire in the present Province of Bolzano-Bozen. The bishopric in the Eisack/Isarco valley was established in the 6th century and gradually received more secular powers. It gained Imperial immediacy in 1027 and remained an Imperial State until 1803, when it was secularised to Tyrol. The diocese however existed until 1964, it is now part of the Diocese of Bolzano-Brixen. The Diocese of Brixen is the continuation of that of Säben Abbey near Klausen, which, according to legend, was founded about 350 as Sabiona by Saint Cassian of Imola. As early as the 3rd century, Christianity had penetrated Sabiona, at that time a Roman custom station of considerable commercial importance. It may have been a retreat of the bishops of Augusta Vindelicorum, the later Bishopric of Augsburg, during the Migration Period. Brixen CathedralThe first Bishop of Sabiona vouched for by history is Ingenuin, mentioned about 580, who appears as suffragan of the Patriarch of Aquileia. The tribes who pushed into the territory of the present Diocese of Brixen, during the great migratory movements, especially the Bavarians and Lombards, accepted Christianity at an early date; only the Slavs of the Pustertal persisted in paganism until the 8th century. By the late 6th century the region became part of the Agilolfing stem duchy of Bavaria, which in 788 finally fell under Frankish overlordship. Urged by King Charlemagne, Pope Leo III assigned Säben as a suffragan diocese to the Archbishopric of Salzburg in 798. After King Louis the Child in 901 had granted Säben the former court of Prichsna, Bishop Rihpert (appointed 967) or Bishop Albuin I (967-1005) h… More: |

1413 in Europe: 1413 in France, 1413 in Lithuania, Union of Horod o, Disputation of Tortosa, Cabochien Revolt $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Disputation of Tortosa , one of the famous disputations between Jews and Christians of the Middle Ages , was held in the years 14131414 in the city of Tortosa , Spain .Among the participants on the Jewish side were Profiat Duran (Efodi) and Rabbi Yosef Albo as well as other Rabbinic scholars such as Rabbi Zerachia HaLevi, Rabbi Moshe ben Abbas, and Rabbi Astruc HaLevi . Each one was a representative of a different community. Vincent Ferrer , later canonised, was an important participant on the Christian side.Background The initiator of the disputation and representative for the Christians was the Pope’s personal physician , the Jewish Christian convert Joshua Lorqui . After his conversion to Christianity, Lorqui presented his employer, Antipope or Avignon Pope Benedict XIII , with a composition containing topics to contest with his former co-religionists. The aging pope, who rejoiced at religious debate, jumped at the opportunity to bring the Jews to a disputation. King Ferdinand I , then ruler of Aragon , did not stand in his way, and letters of invitation were sent to the various Jewish communities in 1413. Attempts by the Jews to free themselves of this were not successful.The Jewish representatives were at a considerable disadvantagefar worse than the position of Nahmanides at the Disputation of Barcelona . The disputation was not a free discussion between two parties but took the form of a propaganda attack by the Christian side against Jews, including the use of psychological pressure in the form of intimidation and threats. Before them stood a former Jew who was proficient in the Aggadic midrashim and made use of them to justify the Christian viewpoint.Disputation’s proceedings Beginnings The Jews first met with the Pope, who resided then in the city in the region |

In 1295, he reportedly treated a number of Jews for distress following their experiences in the failed messianic movement in Avila. As Abner reports in his Moreh Zedek/Mostrador de justicia, he himself “had a dream” in which a similar experience of crosses mysteriously appearing on his garments drove him to question his ancestral faith. Not being of those contented ones who, as Moses Narboni says in his Maamar ha-Be irah (Essay on the Freedom of the Will; quoted by Grätz, p. 488), are satisfied with a peck of locust beans from one Friday to another, he resolved to embrace Christianity though at the advanced age of sixty, according to Paulus de Santa Maria / Pablo de Santa |

Arrival of Christianity to India is of two phases, where by traditional accounts, St. Thomas brought the religion in the first century and attained martyrdom in Chennai in 53 AD. The second phase is after the arrival of Portuguese in the 15th century. The legends of the Church of Our Lady of Light connects both.Legend The history of the Church |

1609 in Europe: Expulsion of the Moriscos, Basque Witch Trials, Twelve Years’ Truce $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: On April 9, 1609, King Philip III of Spain decreed the expulsion of the Moriscos. The Moriscos were the descendants of the Muslim population that converted to Christianity under threat of exile from Ferdinand and Isabella in 1502. From 1609 through 1614, the Spanish government systematically forced Moriscos to leave the kingdom for Muslim North Africa. They were only allowed to keep what money and possessions they could carry; the rest, including their property, was impounded. The expulsion especially affected the former Kingdom of Valencia and Kingdom of Aragon, harming their economies for generations. Suspicions and tensions between the Moriscos and the Christians had been high for some time. While some Moriscos did hold influence and power, and they had some allies such as the nobility of Valencia and Aragon who depended on them as a cheap labor force, their overall political and economic heft in Spain was low. The Christian population constantly suspected the Moriscos of not being sincere in their Christianity. As the Moriscos had been forced to choose between conversion and exile, many indeed held little loyalty to either the crown or the church. Several revolts broke out, the most notable being the 15681573 revolt against an edict of Phillip II’s banning Arabic, Arabic names, and requiring Moriscos to give up their children to be educated by priests. After the suppression of the revolt, Philip ordered the dispersal of the Moriscos of Granada to other areas. Philip expected that this would break down the Morisco community and facilitate their assimilation into the Christian population. This may have happened to a degree to Granada’s Moriscos, but not in Valencia or Aragon, where genuine crypto-Muslim enclaves still existed. At around t… More: |

Excerpt: The Siku Quanshu, variously translated as the Imperial Collection of Four, Emperor’s Four Treasuries, Complete Library in Four Branches of Literature, or Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, is the largest collection of books in Chinese history and probably the most ambitious editorial enterprise in the history of the world. During the height of the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century CE, the Qianlong Emperor commissioned the Siku quanshu, to demonstrate that the Qing could surpass the Ming Dynasty’s 1403 Yongle Encyclopedia, which was the world’s largest encyclopedia at the time. The editorial board included 361 scholars, with Ji Yun () and Lu Xixiong () as chief editors. They began compilation in 1773 and completed it in 1782. The editors collected and annotated over 10,000 manuscripts from the imperial collections and other libraries, destroyed some 3,000 titles, or works, that were considered to be anti-Manchu, and selected 3,461 titles, or works, for inclusion into the Siku quanshu. They were bound in 36,381 volumes () with more than 79,000 chapters (), comprising about 2.3 million pages, and approximately 800 million Chinese characters. Scribes copied every word by hand, and according to Wilkinson (200:274), “The copyists (of whom there were 3,826) were not paid in cash but rewarded with official posts after they had transcribed a given number of words within a set time.” Four copies for the emperor were placed in specially constructed libraries in the Forbidden City, Old Summer Palace, Shenyang, and Wenjin Chamber, |

1814 Books (Study Guide) $14.14 Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: The History of Little Henry and his Bearer, The Dairyman’s Daughter, 1814 in literature, A Voyage to Terra Australis, The Corsair,. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The History of Little Henry and his Bearer (1814) was a popular children’s book written by Mary Martha Sherwood. It was continuously in print for 70 years after its initial publication and was translated into French, German, Spanish, Hindustani (1814; 1873), Chinese, Marathi (1853), Tamil (1840), and Sinhalese. Telling the story of a young British boy who, on his deathbed, converts Boosy, the Indian man who has taken care of him throughout his childhood, the book is dominated by imperialistic and evangelical themes. Sherwood’s tale blends the realistic with the sentimental and introduces her readers to Hindustani words and descriptions of what she felt was authentic Indian life. As children’s literature scholar M. Nancy Cutt explains, “with this work, the obituary tract (which invariably stressed conversion and a Christian death) had assumed the colouring of romance”. Frontispiece to a later edition of The History of Little Henry and his Bearer (c. 1830)In 1823 Sherwood published a female version of the story entitled The History of Little Lucy and her Dhaye, although this tale was much less popular than Little Henry, going through only four editions. In both books she “presents the children’s intimacy with and love for their Indian caretakers as an early impediment to their development of a strong English identity; she then offers Evangelical Anglican Christianity, with its emphasis on the missionary impulse to convert others, as a solution to that problem”. As Dara Regaignon explains, in the two stories “conversion ‘saves’ Henry and Lucy by teaching them that some religions and |

2 Peter, Jude $21.39 Jerome H. Neyrey gives us a thoroughly up to date and comprehensive study of two of the most obscure books of the New Testament. Written after the death of Jesus and his Apostles, the Epistles of 2 Peter and Jude offer a glimpse into the turbulent life of the early Christian communities. Neyrey’s fascinating study not only provides an entirely new translation of the two texts, but also stirring commentary that takes the reader inside groups located at the very edges of Christianity, in contact with the wider Roman world and Greek culture of the day. Neyrey builds upon the excellent scholarship of the past, and introduces into the discussion factors that were rarely understood or considered in earlier times: the social, political, and economic setting in which the New Testament Epistles were written and read–the church as a community within the larger context of the vast Roman Empire of the late first and early second centuries. And while these letters are often considered peripheral or marginal to the New Testament, they nevertheless reveal and interpret one of the murkier eras in the life of the church. They reflect the hard times and difficult circumstances of the faithful, beset by treacherous comrades within and malevolent enemies without. But all the while, these documents express the constancy and commitment of those who found salvation and the renewal of life in the one Lord, Jesus Christ. |

Excerpt: Saint Martin of Tours (Latin: ), (Savaria, Pannonia {now Szombathely, Hungary}, 316 November 8, 397 in Candes-Saint-Martin, Gaul {central France}; buried November 11, 397, Candes, Gaul) was a Bishop of Tours whose shrine became a famous stopping-point for pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela. Around his name much legendary material accrued and he has become one of the most familiar and recognizable Christian saints. He is considered a spiritual bridge across Europe, given his association with both France and Hungary. His life was recorded by a contemporary, the hagiographer Sulpicius Severus. Some of the accounts of his travels may have been interpolated into his vita to validate early sites of his cult. He is a patron saint of France and of soldiers. Martin was named after Mars, god of war, which Sulpicius Severus interpreted as “the brave, the courageous”. His father was a senior officer (tribune) in the Imperial Horse Guard, a unit of the Roman army, and was later stationed at Ticinum, Cisalpine Gaul (now Pavia, Italy), where Martin grew up. At the age of ten, he went to the Christian church against the wishes of his parents and became a catechumen or candidate for baptism. At this time, Christianity had been made a legal religion (in 316), but it was by no means the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. It had many more adherents in the Eastern Empire, whence it had sprung… More: |

5 C Hero $3.99 5 C Hero is the inspirational story of Joel Stephens, a truly gifted athlete and devout Christian, who lived the values of Christianity, Courage, Compassion, Character, and Commitment. With the brightest of futures ahead of him, Stephens lost his battle with a rare form of cancer in 1998 at the age of 22. D’Aloisio, as coach, mentor, and friend, knew Stephens better than most. In this book, he chronicles the record-setting athletic exploits of Joel throughout his high school years as well as his professional career as a baseball player in the Baltimore Orioles organization, and his decision to accept a scholarship to play Division I football for Syracuse University. In many ways, Joel’s story parallels that of Ernie Davis, the “Elmira Express,” who was the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy.More important than any athletic achievements, Joel’s faith and his concern for others are the qualities that define Joel Stephens. D’Aloisio takes the reader on a painful odyssey as Joel accepts his illness yet valiantly struggles to overcome it. This tragic story is told with humor, intensity, and great warmth. It is remarkable that Stephens touched so many lives in such a short period of time. Even after his death, his legacy continues to grow through the Joel Stephens Foundation and other charitable organizations and events held in his honor.For those who knew Joel, this book will bring them even closer to an old friend; for those who never had the opportunity to meet Joel in person, this book will help you realize what you missed. |

The main political and military events during the first decades of the kingdom’s existence took place in this region. According to the descriptions of Strabo , Dio Cassius and other Graeco-Roman geographers, the lands of Asturias were inhabited in the beginning of the Christian era by several peoples, amongst whom the more important were: the Vadinienses , who inhabited the Picos de Europa region and whose settlement gradually expanded southward during the first centuries of the modern era; the |

8th-Century Christian Martyrs: Mael Ruba, Eurosia, Abo of Tiflis, Saint Rumbold, Theofrid, Aethelberht II of East Anglia, Andrew of Crete $8.69 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Máel Ruba, (Pronounced Mel-roova) Máelrubai (Old Irish spelling), Maol Rubha (Maolrubha) (Scottish Gaelic spelling), or Malruibhe (642722), sometimes Latinised as Rufus, is a saint of the Celtic Church. Originally from Bangor, County Down, Ireland, he was a monk and founded the monastic community of Applecross in Ross, one of the best attested early Christian monasteries in what is now Scotland. Máelrubai was descended from Niall, King of Ireland, on the side of his father Elganach. His mother, Subtan, was a niece of Saint Comgall (d. 597 or 602) of Bangor. Máelrubai was born in the area of Derry and was educated at Bangor. In 671, when he was thirty, he sailed from Ireland to Scotland with a group of monks. For two years he travelled around the area, chiefly in Argyll, perhaps founding some of the many churches still dedicated to him, before settling at Aporcrosan (Applecross) in the west of Ross opposite the islands of Skye and Raasay in 673. Both Máelrubai’s voyage to ‘Britain’ and his foundation of Applecross are recorded in contemporary Irish annals, implying that they were considered of great significance at the time. The Gaelic name of Applecross, “A’ Chomraich”, ‘The Sanctuary’, derives from an area of inviolate ground which surrounded the monastery in ancient times. Its limits were originally marked by crosses. Unfortunately, only a fragment of one of these has survived, within the farmyard at Camusterrach, south of Applecross village. Maol Rubha’s monastery was a major Christian centre and instrumental in the spread of both Christianity and Gaelic culture amongst the Picts of northern Scotland. There are several locations named after Maol Rubha such as Loch Maree. In the 17th century the Presbytery of Dingwall was disturbed by |

9th Century in Religion: Christianity in the 9th Century, Great Anti-Buddhist Persecution, Emirate of Tbilisi $10.18 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Christianity in the 9th Century, Great Anti-Buddhist Persecution, Emirate of Tbilisi, Timeline of 9th Century Muslim History, Langdarma, Three Disasters of Wu. Excerpt: The High Middle Ages begins in the 9th century with the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 and continued with the Photian schism. With the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III in 800, his new title as Patricius Romanorum, and the handing over of the keys to the Tomb of Saint Peter, the papacy had acquired a new protector in the West. This freed the pontiffs to some degree from the power of the emperor in Constantinople but also led to a schism, because the emperors and patriarchs of Constantinople interpreted themselves as the true descendants of the Roman Empire dating back to the beginnings of the Church. Pope Nicholas I had refused to recognize Patriarch Photios I of Constantinople ,who in turn had attacked the pope as a heretic, because he kept the filioque in the creed, which referred to the Holy Spirit emanating from God the Father and the Son. The papacy was strengthened through this new alliance, which in the long term created a new problem for the Popes, when in the Investiture Controversy succeeding emperors sought to appoint bishops and even future popes. After the disintegration of the Charlemagne empire and repeated incursions of Islamic forces into Italy, the papacy, without any protection, entered a phase of major weakness. The Carolingian Renaissance was a period of intellectual and cultural revival during the late 8th and 9th centuries, mostly during the reigns of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious. There was an increase of literature, the arts, architecture, jurisprudence, liturgical and scriptural studies. The period also saw the development of Carolingia… More: |
