Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating at the 2011 conference of the International Academy of Practical Theology in Amsterdam, this volume explores the practical theological significance of desire. Although desire is central to many issues in practical theology and related disciplines, it is only rarely discussed under its own name. Three introductory chapters locate desire in concrete practices in the city and discuss the phenomenology, theology, and ethics of desire. Subsequent sections are organized around embodying desire, culturing desire, and transforming desire. The chapters include various kinds of desire, such as sexuality, consumerism, and spirituality. Perspectives from different contexts and religious traditions are offered in this rich and thought-provoking book. (Series: International Practical Theology - Vol. 16)

Book excerpt: For Augustine, the pre-Fall Paradise was a life of tranquil love and joy. The post-Fall world is marked by loss of control over our bodies and emotions. But whatexactly happened in the Fall, and why? How does desire relate to man's disobedience, and is there any sense in which we can recover what Adam and Eve havelost?In treating City 14 as an integral whole, this study explores Augustine's critiquesof the Manichean and Platonist positions that the body is bad or evil, and discusseshis biblical doctrine of emotions in light of the two-cities theme. The entirestudy concerns topics germane to the paradisal situation: the theme of the PrimalFall and the will being 'spontaneous', the exploration of the disobedience ofthe genitals in all forms of sex, including married life, and the workings of Adamand Eve's hypothetical sexual experience in the pre-Fall world.

Book excerpt: Many Christians are unaware of the true nature of God and what he desires from humanity. The Lord loves the people he made so much that he desires their fellowship and oneness. The church have failed in exalting the true personality of the Holy Spirit and sometimes spend so much time preaching about the devil who is already a defeated foe. The Spirit of Christ, who is the bridegroom of believers, desires to fellowship with his bride, but how can this truly happen if many Christians lack the true knowledge of the Spirit of Jesus? This book gives a detailed experience of a true relationship with the Holy Spirit in a way that is rarely described today and provides a clear picture of how to enjoy fellowship with the Spirit of Jesus through spending time in his wonderful presence. It is a joyful experience to be loved by the Lord and truly experience that love not only spiritually but physically. Let all the brides of Christ say, "Come Lord, Jesus!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Carolyn Weber moved to Oxford University to study, she didn't expect to find God there. But she did. As she grappled with her newest and most important relationship, she also found that there was another invitation: to think bigger about love. In this book we follow Weber through courtship and into marriage and parenthood. Now a literature professor, Weber reflects on her relationship with a sometimes-absent father and how that has shaped her. Through her personal story, as well as spiritual, theological, and literary reflection, Sex and the City of God explores what life looks like when we choose to love God first.
