In "The Divine Mosaic: Piecing Together Catholic and Orthodox Union," renowned ecumenical authority James Likoudis embarks on a meticulous exploration of the long-standing divide between Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Drawing from his unique vantage point as an Eastern Orthodox convert, Likoudis provides profound insights on contentious issues such as the Filioque, Papal Primacy, and Palamism. Through a masterful deconstruction of misconceptions, Likoudis advocates for reconciliation and a deeper mutual understanding, challenging both the Catholic and Orthodox realms to unite in faith. This seminal work stands as a testament to Likoudis's seven-decade-long commitment to fostering Christian unity.Within these pages, he refutes common objections to Catholicism as well as providing a sound basis for a truly Catholic ecclesiology. This book will be a welcome contribution to ecumenism today and will bring the Church of Christ, which subsists fully within the Catholic Church, that much closer to healing its wounds, and offering a vision of a united Christianity to the world; a prerequisite of fulfilling the mission entrusted to it by Christ.

In the tapestry of human existence, spirituality weaves a rich and intricate pattern. It's a mosaic of beliefs, practices, and philosophies that have evolved over millennia, shaping cultures, civilizations, and individuals. "Diving into the Divine Mosaic" embarks on a profound journey through this tapestry, exploring the diverse pantheon of global beliefs that form the bedrock of humanity's spiritual heritage. At the heart of this exploration lies the recognition of the universality of human spirituality. Despite the apparent differences among various belief systems, there exists a common thread that binds them together - the human quest for meaning, connection, and transcendence. Whether through rituals, prayers, meditation, or contemplation, people across cultures and civilizations have sought to understand the mysteries of existence and their place within the cosmos. The journey begins by delving into ancient belief systems, tracing their origins and evolution through the annals of history. From the animistic traditions of indigenous peoples, where every aspect of nature is imbued with spirit and significance, to the polytheistic pantheons of ancient civilizations, where gods and goddesses personified natural forces and human attributes, the diversity of early spiritual expressions is both captivating and illuminating. As civilizations flourished and interacted, beliefs merged, syncretized, and transformed, giving rise to complex systems of faith and philosophy. The monotheistic traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam emerged, each with its own sacred texts, prophets, and theological doctrines, shaping the spiritual landscape of vast regions and leaving an indelible mark on human history. Simultaneously, the dharmic traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism flourished in the Indian subcontinent, offering profound insights into the nature of reality, karma, and liberation. With their emphasis on inner transformation, karma, and the cycle of birth and rebirth, these traditions continue to inspire seekers around the globe, transcending cultural boundaries and linguistic barriers. Venturing further, the journey encounters the wisdom traditions of East Asia, including Confucianism, Taoism, and Shintoism. Rooted in ancient philosophies and indigenous practices, these traditions emphasize harmony with nature, social ethics, and spiritual cultivation, providing a holistic framework for living in balance with oneself, others, and the cosmos. Beyond the confines of organized religion, the journey explores the mystical traditions that permeate every culture and epoch. From the Sufi poets of Islam and the Christian mystics of medieval Europe to the Zen masters of Japan and the shamanic healers of indigenous tribes, mysticism offers a direct and experiential approach to the divine, transcending dogma and doctrine in pursuit of spiritual awakening and union with the Absolute. As the journey unfolds, it becomes evident that the Divine Mosaic is not static but dynamic, evolving, and ever-changing. New religious movements emerge, ancient traditions adapt to modern realities, and spiritual seekers draw inspiration from a myriad of sources, forging unique paths of faith and practice. Yet, amidst this diversity, there exists a profound unity - a recognition of the sacredness of life, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the ultimate mystery that lies beyond human comprehension. In embracing the Divine Mosaic, we celebrate not only our differences but also our shared humanity, recognizing that, in the end, we are all pilgrims on the same journey, seeking meaning, purpose, and transcendence in the vast expanse of existence.

Built on the southwestern coast of Cyprus in the second century A.D., the House of Dionysos is full of clues to a distant life—in the corner of a portico, shards of pottery, a clutch of Roman coins found on a skeleton under a fallen wall—yet none is so evocative as the intricate mosaic floors that lead the eye from room to room, inscribing in their colored images the traditions, aspirations, and relations of another world. In this lavishly illustrated volume, Christine Kondoleon conducts us through the House of Dionysos, showing us what its interior decoration discloses about its inhabitants and their time. Seen from within the context of the house, the mosaics become eloquent witnesses to an elusive dialogue between inhabitants and guests, and to the intermingling of public and private. Kondoleon draws on the insights of art history and archaeology to show what the mosaics in the House of Dionysos can tell us about these complex relations. She explores the issues of period and regional styles, workshop traditions, the conditions of patronage, and the forces behind iconographic change. Her work marks a major advance, not just in the study of Roman mosaics, but in our knowledge of Roman society.

Í Þessum rannsóknarleiðangri er farið á ferðalag um heimsins trúarheimi, frá hinni fjarlægu austurtrú til vestrænnar kristni, frá forntíma hinni norrænu trú til samtíma hinnar hinsdóms trúar. Í hvert einasta horn heimsins eru Þessar trúarbrögð sviptar eiginlegri og einstakri eðli, sem speglast í siðum, ritum, helgidögum og siðareglum. þessi rannsókn skoðar ekki bara hvernig trúarbrögð formuðu menningu, heldur einnig hvernig menningarlegar Þróunarstigveldur hafa haft áhrif á útbreiðslu og breytingar í trúarbrögðum. Sjónarhorn múslima í Mið-Austurlöndum, trúarbrögð heimsins inuita í Norður-Kanada, og trúarlega sviðslist hindúa í Indlandi eru aðeins nokkur dæmi um Það hversu mörgfaldandi og rík Þetta rannsóknarefni getur verið. Í Þessari rannsókn er einnig kannað hvernig trúarlegar hugmyndir og gildi hafa verið fluttar milli menningarheima, sérstaklega í samhengi við árekstra, samgöngur og viðskipti. þessi áhrif eru sérlega skýr í samtíma heiminum, Þar sem tækniframför hafa skapað nýja tengsl milli fólks og auðvelt hefur verið að flýta fjölmenningarlegri hreyfingu. Með Þessum nútíma rannsóknartækni og miðlum er hægt að safna fjölda gagna og skoða Þau með nýjum augum. Sýnt er hvernig hugmyndir um guðsátrú, hamingju, siðferði og tilgangur lífs hafa Þróast og breyst í samfélögum um allan heim. þessi rannsókn er Þannig ekki bara skýrsla, heldur líka viðmið sem býður upp á innsýn og skilning á Því sem mörgum virðist ókunnugt eða fjölbreytilegt.

Illustrated in color throughout, this handsome volume presents selected papers from an international symposium held in June 2001 marking the completion of a ten-year project to conserve the Last Judgment mosaic, at St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. The project was a partnership between the Office of the President of the Czech Republic, the Prague Castle Administration, and the Getty Conservation Institute. The goal of the symposium was to present the methodology, research, and results of the project, which involved conserving one of the finest examples of monumental medieval mosaic art in Europe. The volume's essays are divided into three parts, which cover the historical and art-historical context, conservation planning and methodology, and project implementation and maintenance. Topics addressed include the history, iconography, and visual documentation of the mosaic; the development and application of surface cleaning and protective coating techniques for the mosaic's glass tesserae; and post-treatment monitoring and maintenance.

2021 Catholic Media Association Award honorable mention award in liturgy Authenticity is a value difficult to define but impossible to ignore in contemporary life. The desire for authentic experience pervades art, music, food, dating, marketing, and politics. Worship is no exception: Vatican documents, megachurch websites, pastors, and liturgy planners all make competing claims to offer the genuine article. But what makes liturgy authentic? What distinguishes real celebration from artificial spectacle, heartfelt prayer from empty ritualism, a living tradition from both stagnation and gimmickry? Can today’s Christians perform the liturgy so that it is not a mere performance but a sincere offering of their whole selves? In this book, Nathaniel Marx argues that the defining characteristic of authentic liturgy is harmony. Authentic liturgy happens when the minds of participants are in tune with their voices. The call for worshipers to harmonize their inward and outward offerings of prayer is discernible in the Bible, in the history of Christian prayer, and in diverse efforts to invigorate communal worship today. Marx’s argument unfolds the meaning of this call to authentic worship through a provocative and wide-ranging study incorporating scriptural exegesis, liturgical history, anthropology of ritual, and philosophy of action. He argues that authenticity is not a modern buzzword but an ancient virtue essential to worshiping in a spirit of communion.

This publication is engaged in issues, trends, and themes depicted on mosaic pavements discovered in Israel, the Gaza Strip and Petra (the provinces of ancient Palaestina Prima, Secunda and Tertia) with comparable floors in Jordan (Arabia). The majority of the mosaic pavements discussed in this study are dated to the 4th-8th centuries CE. Mosaic pavements were the normal medium for decorating the floors of synagogues, churches, monasteries, and chapels, as well as public and private buildings. Inscriptions found on many of the pavements commemorate the donors, refer to the artists, and sometimes date the mosaics. The ornamentation of the mosaics in this region is remarkable, rich, and varied in its themes and provides many insights into the contemporary artistic and social cultures.
