Trial of Job: Orthodox Christian Reflections on the Book of Job
ISBN: 9781888212723 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Patrick Reardon renders Job comprehensible (to those who are lay readers of Scripture), tangible (to those who have not yet tasted the way of darkness and despair), and accessible (to those who have already experienced any form of brokeness and...

Although we know a great deal about how the Bolsheviks went about doing this--propaganda, persecution of clergy and laity, seizing church property--scholars have not devoted much attention to the other side of the story: the people who were being persecuted and how they responded to their persecutors. Glennys Young shows how ordinary Russian peasants devised ways of asserting their religious faith during the difficult period of New Economic Policy, 1921-28, when the Party-state was...

ISBN: 9780227171967 / Angielski / Twarda / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How deeply is new revelation rooted in and bound by old revelation, and how far does the old determine or contain the newness of the new?
