Promiscuous Grace by Sonia Velázquez Pdf

"Theologians, poets, artists, and laypeople alike have been fascinated by Saint Mary of Egypt's legend since it was first recorded in the seventh century. Mary's prominence is religious and symbolic, encompassing sin and sanctity, the excesses of nymphomania and asceticism, the charms of nubile youth and the wrinkles of old age. In Promiscuous Grace, scholar of religion Sonia Velázquez thinks with Saint Mary of Egypt about what beauty has to do with holiness. With an archive spanning medieval Spanish poetry, Baroque paintings, a seventeenth-century hagiographic drama, and Balzac's treatment of Saint Mary in Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu, Velázquez argues for the relevance of the appeal to the senses and the importance of the surface in religious texts. She draws on insights from philosophy, literary history and theory, and religious, visual and gender studies, and pays close attention to the texture of the words and images that make the legend of Saint Mary of Egypt come alive and remain relevant today"--

Promiscuous Grace by Sonia Velázquez Pdf

A meditation on holiness and beauty through the study of Saint Mary of Egypt. Saint Mary of Egypt has fascinated theologians, poets, and artists since the seventh century. Her story is richly evocative, encompassing sin and sanctity, concupiscence and asceticism, youth and old age. In Promiscuous Grace, Sonia Velázquez thinks with Saint Mary of Egypt about the relationship between beauty and holiness. Drawing on an archive spanning Spanish medieval poetry, Baroque paintings, seventeenth-century hagiography, and Balzac’s Le chef-d’œuvre inconnu, Velázquez argues for the importance of the senses on the surface of religious texts on her way to revealing why the legend of Saint Mary of Egypt still matters today.

The Nature of Grace by Jane Ford Pdf

"Bring up a child in the way he shall go and when he is older he shall not depart from it." Grace Lee believed that Bible verse fervently. She was certain her daughter, Rosemary, would be not only an active Southern Baptist but a foreign missionary as well. During the late ‘60s, changes were afoot, forcing Grace to realize things were not what they ought to have been. Though she tried to close her eyes to political and social turmoil, the glaring faults she began seeing in her church were another matter. Dorothy Blackwell, a fellow-member in the Woman’s Missionary Union, had the reputation of being a “good” Southerner but church members were often askance at her vocal championing of what was considered the “Radical Left.” Dorothy’s strong convictions prompted Grace to explore her own unspoken doubts about the new direction their church was taking. She was utterly amazed when she realized the profound influence Miss Dorothy had on Rosemary, as well. While the rumble of fundamentalism shook her church to its very foundations, Grace also struggled with her vision of service for Rosemary. Was she prepared for the consequences of what she and Dorothy championed: the commitment to conscience?

Antiquity Renewed by Z. R. W. M. von Martels,Victor Michael Schmidt Pdf

This volume deals with similarities and correspondences between Late Antiquity (c. 300-600 AD) and the Renaissance (roughly after c. 1350). In both periods, the presence of two competing forces, the ancient classical and the Christian traditions, led to a constant dynamic of thought and creativity. The ten essays in this volume present new views on these issues in the fields of political philosophy, theology, law, literature, art, and architecture.

The Blessed Evil by Ike A. Williams Pdf

The book attempts to draw a direct parallel with our real world and the situation described above. It will attempt to address the questions posed by trying to walk the reader through the life of a young man in England in recent times; whose pastime, it would seem, was the indiscriminate killing of people he encountered regardless of age, sex, creed, social status or relationship. Our natural sense of normalcy may therefore short-circuit, and tailspin in confusion at the hint of the young man being portrayed in any light other than the obvious. But everything about Lewis may well be part of the process towards a transformed and clean world.

Journey into Newness by Patrick C. Heston Pdf

Wilderness periods of our lives—those dry and desperate seasons when God seems distant and detached, perhaps even indifferent or impotent—can seem an abnormal and painful part of our lives that simply must be painfully plodded through and somehow endured. Yet, far from being something abnormal and life-threatening, like a cancer invading our bodies, wilderness periods represent a fundamental element of our life in the Spirit and part of God’s well-orchestrated plan to guarantee that we become and possess everything he desires for us.
