Now available in paperback, the first book to chronicle the history of the Knights Templar in Scotland, from 1127 to the present, with a new theory on Templar participation at the Battle of Bannockburn Places and books such as Rosslyn Chapel and The Da Vinci Code have focused attention on Scotland's Knights Templar.

The Cambridge Companion to the Jesuits
ISBN: 9780521673969 / Angielski / Miękka / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ignatius of Loyola (1491 1556) obtained papal approval in 1540 for a new international religious order called the Society of Jesus. Until the mid-1700s the 'Jesuits' were active in many parts of Europe and far beyond. Gaining both friends and enemies in response to their work as teachers, scholars, writers, preachers, missionaries and spiritual directors, the Jesuits were formally suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773 and restored by Pope Pius VII in 1814. The Society of Jesus then grew until the 1960s; it has more recently experienced declining membership in Europe and North America, but...

Longing for Spring: A New Vision for Wesleyan Community
ISBN: 9780718892425 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Delving into the widespread, contemporary longing for a more serious and communal experience of Christianity, this book provides important theoretical underpinnings and casts a vision for a new monasticism within the Wesleyan tradition. Elaine Heath and Scott Kisker call for the planting of neo-monastic churches which embody the Wesleyan vision of holiness in postmodern contexts. This book also points toward some vital shifts that are necessary in theological education in order to equip pastors to lead such communities. Longing for Spring helps Wesleyans of all stripes understand the theory...

Speculum Inclusorum / A Mirror for Recluses: A Late-Medieval Guide for Anchorites and Its Middle English Translation
ISBN: 9780859898850 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Interest in the anchoritic life in Europe, and medieval England in particular, has never been greater. And yet almost all the recent discussion tends to concentrate on the same texts - De Institutione inclusarum and Ancrene Wisse. Considerations of gender and anchoritism have been limited by the assumption that the reclusive life was 'a feminine phenomenon' pursued almost exclusively by women. This critical edition of a late-medieval English 'rule' for male anchorites will be a timely intervention in - and stimulus to - an already exciting field. The Speculum Inclusorum is an early...

The Benedictines in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9781843836230 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The men and women that followed the sixth-century customs of Benedict of Nursia (c.480-c.547) formed the most enduring, influential, numerous and widespread religious order of the Latin middle ages. Their liturgical practice, and their acquired taste for learning, served as a model for the medieval church as a whole: while new orders arose, they took some of their customs, and their observant and spiritual outlook, from the Regula Benedicti. The Benedictines may also be counted among the founders of medieval Europe. In many regions of the continent they created, or consolidated, the first...

English Nuns and the Law in the Middle Ages: Cloistered Nuns and Their Lawyers, 1293-1540
ISBN: 9781843837862 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In late medieval England, cloistered nuns, like all substantial property owners, engaged in nearly constant litigation to defend their holdings. They did so using attorneys (proctors), advocates and other -men of law- who actually conducted that litigation in the courts of Church and Crown. However, although lawyers were as crucial to the economic vitality of the nunneries as the patrons who endowed them, their role in protecting, augmenting or depleting monastic assets has never been fully investigated. This book aims to address the gap. Using records from the courts of the common law,...

Family Matters in Indian Buddhist Monasticisms
ISBN: 9780824836474 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Scholarly and popular consensus has painted a picture of Indian Buddhist monasticism in which monks and nuns severed all ties with their families when they left home for the religious life. In this view, monks and nuns remained celibate, and those who faltered in their "vows" of monastic celibacy were immediately and irrevocably expelled from the Buddhist Order. This romanticized image is based largely on the ascetic rhetoric of texts such as the Rhinoceros Horn Sutra. Through a study of Indian Buddhist law codes (vinaya), Shayne Clarke dehorns the rhinoceros, revealing that in their own...

Living Wisdom
ISBN: 9780879070335 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cristiana Piccardo was the long-time abbess of an unusual Cistercian community in Italy. "We have always believed," she writes, "that the monastic charism can be a precious 'talent' offered to our contemporary world, and there are moments in history when what normally remains hidden should come into the light." These words accurately describe both the force behind the story of the Vitorchiano monastic family and the account of it given in Living Wisdom, her refl ection on the meaning of that story. Over the course of four decades, the Abbey of Vitorchiano founded no fewer than six new...

Devotion to Saint Dominic
ISBN: 9780615966953 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Father Etienne Vayssiere, OP, at the time provincial of Toulouse, ... was inviting his religious to rediscover what he called the patriarchal gift of St. Dominic. To know St. Dominic better, to fill oneself with his spirit, to develop a filial confidence in his intercession, this is the genuine devotion to St. Dominic he recommended-he whom, we are told by Marie-Joseph Nicolas], enjoyed "the blessing of a filial union with St. Dominic." According to the fitting motto of Blessed Hyacinthe-Marie Cormier, Father Vayssiere wished "to restore everything in St. Dominic."" -from the Foreword by...

Latro und Eremit
ISBN: 9783110348798 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Anregung zu diesem Buch verdankt sich einem erstaunlichen Textbefund: Wer die klassischen Texte des Monch- und Eremitentums sowie der Bettelorden oder spatantike und mittelalterliche Heiligenlegenden aufmerksam liest, stot immer wieder auf latrones - auf outlaws, die mit Eremiten, Monchen und Brudern sowie mit der Gesellschaft insgesamt interagieren und sie provozieren. Die Tatsache, dass dieses latro-Motiv schon im Alten Testaments begegnet und Jesus auf Golgotha zwischen zwei latrones hingerichtet wird, macht es mehr als unwahrscheinlich, dass es sich bei...

Sermons for the Autumn Season: Volume 54
ISBN: 9780879074548 / Angielski / Miękka / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On the anniversary of the dedication of the monastery church at Clairvaux, Saint Bernard spoke to the community to explain the meaning of the feast: What sanctity can these stones have that we should celebrate their festival? They do indeed have sanctity, but it is because of your bodies. . . . Your bodies are holy because of your souls, and this house is holy because of your bodies. The thirty-eight sermons in this volume carry forth this theme, revealing the holiness of the monastic life as monks alternate through the rhythm of the day and the year between the "opus Dei" and manual labor,...

The life received by St. Anthony is one that is precisely in accordance with the Bible, one which was aided by tremendous power from the Holy Spirit. His going out into the wilderness as an eighteen year old, to live in the mountains and parched deserts, was an expression of the measure of intense faith that filled the heart of St Anthony, The young teen who was accustomed to living a lavish lifestyle, was not hindered by the circumstances of his one and only orphan sister, or the allure of three hundred acres of land that promised a comfortable earthly life in response to the gospel call...

The Canons of Our Fathers: Monastic Rules of Shenoute
ISBN: 9780199582631 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the first publication of a very early collection of Christian monastic rules from Roman Egypt. Designed for the so-called White Monastery Federation, a community of monks and nuns who banded together about 360 CE, the rules are quoted by the great monastic leader Shenoute of Atripe in his writings of the fourth and fifth century.

Like his previous two, this book contains conferences delivered by an abbot to his fellow monks ─ in this case mainly based on retreat conferences given to other monastic communities. The first, Unfolding the Mystery, reflects on the high points of the liturgical year; the second, Living the Mystery, offers help in living the Christian life, using 'markers' from monastic life. This third volume looks at the Rule of St Benedict, by which monks and nuns have been living since the sixth century and which an increasing number of lay people also follow.
