Что ждет нас после смерти? Что говорили о ней прежде – и что изменилось сейчас? Что говорит о ней православная вера? Как различить веру, призванную вести к жизни вечной, и слепой страх, способный погубить нас еще в жизни земной? Иной мир – где он? Какой он? И в силах ли мы хоть немного его понять? Представить цельной картиной? И если да – то как? К чьим словам нам прислушаться? Что принять как истину? И что отвергнуть – как нелепую выдумку или намеренную ложь? А те, кто говорит, будто побывали «там» и сумели вернуться… слушать ли их? Верить ли им? Почему, если да? Почему, если нет? Вопросы, вопросы, вопросы… Книга не дана как ясный и однозначный ответ – да и такой ответ вряд ли возможен. Скорее, это попытка ответа. Попытка соткать полотно из разрозненных нитей. Представить православное учение о жизни и смерти, о тленном и вечном, о цели и смысле нашей дороги. Вложить в память то, чего мы не знали, – или воскресить в ней нечто давно забытое. Отделить зерна от плевел, а сердцевину – от дешевой шелухи. Ведь если жизнь – это путь, то учение о жизни – это карта, и чем эта карта подробней, тем больше она достойна доверия.

The Protestant philosophical and theological heritage of Thomas Aquinas This major new book provides an introduction to Thomas Aquinas’s influence on Protestantism. The editors, both noted commentators on Aquinas, bring together a group of influential scholars to demonstrate the ways that Anglican, Lutheran, and Reformed thinkers have analyzed and used Thomas through the centuries. Later chapters also explore how today’s Protestants might appropriate the work of Aquinas to address a number of contemporary theological and philosophical issues. The authors set the record straight and disavow the widespread impression that Aquinas is an irrelevant figure for the history of Protestant thought. This assumption has dominated not only Protestant historiography but also Roman Catholic accounts of the Reformation and Protestant intellectual life. The book opens the possibility for contemporary reception, engagement, and critique and even intra-Protestant relations and includes: Information on the fruitful appropriation of Aquinas in Anglican, Lutheran, and Reformed theologians over the centuries Important essays from leading scholars on the teachings of Aquinas New perspectives on Thomas Aquinas’s position as a towering figure in the history of Christian thought Aquinas Among the Protestant is a ground-breaking and interdenominational work for students and scholars of Thomas Aquinas and theology more generally.

The comprehensive and engaging introduction to contemporary Christianity, revised and updated The second edition of Understanding Christian Doctrine presents a completely updated and revised edition that builds on the most popular features of the first edition to offer a lively overview to the central beliefs of Christianity. Ian S Markham, a noted authority of Christianity, discusses the great thinkers of the Christian tradition and puts them in conversation with contemporary progressive theologies in a book that goes from Augustine, Aquinas, and Luther to Liberationist, Feminist, and Queer theologies. Designed to be a basic primer, the text is written in a manner that assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of theology or Christian doctrine. The book is designed to present the basic options in all the key areas of Christianity as well as information on how to make complex theological decisions. The author tackles all the key questions from creation to eschatology. Furthermore, Markham makes his own distinctive contribution: he argues that theodicy (traditionally seen as a major difficulty with belief) is actually a theme that links many aspects of Christian doctrine. The revised second edition includes a wealth of new information, including: A lively and comprehensive introduction to Christianity that assumes no prior knowledge of the faith An overview to the great thinkers of Christian tradition that puts them in conversation with progressive liberationist theologies Suggestions that help even the most skeptical to learn to understand and possibly embrace theological assertions Breakout boxes that explain the significance of the text’s various philosophical ideas and positions The text is ideal for anyone interested in learning about the foundations of Christianity as well as new ideas about the faith. Christianity is presented in a manner that embraces the richness of the tradition and affirms the central claims of the historical creeds, while engaging with liberationist challenges to the tradition.
