Book excerpt: For decades, modern seekers have experimented and studied with many diverse teachers and religions, but Stuart Wilde says in that toward the end of a long spiritual journey we all seek the same thing: redemption. None of us is perfect, and yet through embracing that imperfection and reconciling it, we become a complete being - encompassing both the light and the dark. As Stuart says: ''Many mystics, holy people, and even the Hopi Indians have predicted a new age of enlightenment, and they are not wrong in my view. It has arrived, and with it has come a whole host of fascinating phenomena never seen before. We are stepping into a magical new era . . . the age of forgiveness.'' It is when the ivory tower of the ego's ideas falls that we can then embrace a new humility, allowing us to become ever more genuine, compassionate, and real. In this fascinating book, Stuart makes the point that the process of redemption and forgiveness comes from incorporating the Three Graces in one's heart: tenderness, generosity, and respect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bryce Elliott is a morally bankrupt, world-renowned attorney who has one goal in life: he wants to make one hundred million dollars by his fortieth birthday. Bryce believes that money alone has the power to emancipate a man from the shackles of a powerless and meaningless life. His life is evolving as planned: he is rich and powerful, living on Fifth Avenue in New York City, and master of a universe that he has carefully and meticulously cultivated. Just when Bryce is about to reach his goal, his life takes a dramatic and very unexpected turn. An ancient and mysterious book, Art and Artists, is indirectly passed on to Bryce by The Keeper of the Royal Academy in London. The book has no publisher or author and is full of personal revelations from artists both famous and unknown. Bryce is told four details about the book: he's not to ask questions about the book because the answers are indefinite and intangible; the book has been in existence for hundreds of years; the book will inexplicably change from time to time; and the ownership of the book is provisional. The book steers Bryce towards a different journey. The story is relevant in today's world where the insatiable greed of a few has taken an immense toll on many-politically, economically and spiritually. The novel addresses the eternal philosophical question: is there direction and meaning in one's life beyond the individual's own will? The novel integrates two strains of storytelling; financial thriller and a spiritual inquiry through the medium of art. The Times summed it up as an intriguing and unique bold hybrid: Wall Street meets The Alchemist.

Book excerpt: After discussing the "arts of redemption" and their rivals, and introducing soteriology, the theology of salvation, Patrick Sherry argues that the Christian "Drama of Redemption" has three Acts. The next five chapters discuss the three Acts, namely salvation history, our present human life, and the life to come. In each case, Sherry explains how art and literature can lead to an understanding of what is at stake here. His main concern is with the present life: hence three of those chapters deal with that phase of redemption, one of them specifically with "novels of redemption." The last substantial chapter of the book takes up the general issue of how art and literature contribute to religious understanding: Sherry argues that they may be primary expressions of religious belief, as well as "illustrations," and that as such they may criticise or complement theology, or in turn be open to criticism themselves from that quarter. Finally, he summarises the main theme and briefly discusses some of the particular problems of assessing the arts of redemption.The book's most distinctive feature is the way in which it uses art and literature as a means of religious and theological understanding. It is not a survey of the arts of redemption, though it uses a wide variety of examples, including ancient Greek drama, Flemish and Italian painting, religious music, and 19th -20th century novels. These examples are used as a tool for understanding what is one of the most difficult areas of theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redeeming Beauty explores the richness of orthodox Christian tradition, both Western and Eastern, in matters of 'sacral aesthetics' - a term used to denote the foundations, production and experience of religiously relevant beauty. Aidan Nichols investigates five principal themes: the foundation of beauty in the natural order through divine creative action; explicitly 'evangelical' beauty as a quality of biblical revelation and notably at its climax in Christ; the legitimacy of making and venerating artworks; qualities of the self in relation to objective presentation of the religiously beautiful; and the difficulties of practising a sacral aesthetic, whether as producer or consumer, in an epoch when the visual arts themselves have left behind not only Church but for the greater part the public as well. The thought of theologians such as Augustine, Aquinas, Balthasar, Ratzinger, Bulgakov, Maritain and others is explored.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the complex interactions between devotional imagery and Church doctrine in the Low Countries during the fifteenth century, this book demonstrates how the pictorial arts intersected with popular religious practice. The author reconstructs the conceptual frameworks underlying the use and production of religious art in this period and provides a more nuanced understanding of the use of images in the process of soul formation. This study delves into the complexity of the early modern system of personal justification and argues that religious images and objects were part of a larger 'Technology of Salvation.' In order to make these connections clearer, the author analyzes selected works by Geertgen tot Sint Jans (Little Gerard at St. John's) and shows how they functioned within their larger social and historical milieu.
