Духовное развитие превыше всего. Земной путь – дорога души в поисках Истины и наполнения себя Ее светом. На страницах книги «С молитвой на устах» простые уютные рассказы и размышления первого года моей церковной жизни. Сложного, но бесконечно радостного. Без Бога все крошится, как печенье. С ним – обретается твердая основа. Веришь, значит, все возможно. Радость в глазах, молитва на устах, благодарность в сердце. Соблюдаешь это троичное правило, и мир в душе пребывает всегда.

В данном томе приведен комментарий на недельные главы первой книги Пятикнижия – Береши́т.Комментарий представляет собой анализ простого смысла прямого текста Торы и основан на разъяснениях признанных еврейских мудрецов. При этом он является полностью новым, автор не боится предлагать, по выражению РАШИ, «иное мнение» даже по поводу достаточно установившейся оценки отдельных персонажей Торы. Комментарий занимается только повествовательной частью Торы и не касается ее законодательной части.

Gottessuche, Gottesnähe, Gotteserfahrungen. Darum geht es Freddy Derwahl, der nicht nur von persönlichen Erlebnissen berichtet. Denn er hat Nonnen, Mönche und Einsiedler besucht, dem nächtlichen Schweigen hinter den Mauern und in der Natur, dem kaum wahrnehmbaren Flüstern Gottes «zugehört». Mit angemessen leiser doch kraftvoller Stimme lädt er ein, ihm ins Schweigen zu folgen, das «den großen schöpferischen Pausen des Lebens entspricht». Der Autor nimmt uns mit zu heiligen, aber auch ganz irdischen Orten in Belgien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Italien, Spanien, Algerien, auf dem Berg Athos und in der ägyptischen Wüste. In der Ruhe der Worte schenkt er uns Rastplätze des Schweigens, um die Kraft und Freude des Glaubens an Gott mitzuteilen: vor allem den Suchenden, den an ihm Leidenden oder nichts von ihm wissen Wollenden.
Zitat "Wenn man das Wesentliche nicht verpassen will, muss man Ja sagen. Ja in das Flüstern Gottes hinein." (Gastschwester Julienne, Karmelkloster Mazille/Burgund)

In The Origins of Christianity and the New Testament, distinguished scholar Rebecca I. Denova explores how the first followers of Jesus arrived at their faith, the way their sacred texts developed into the New Testament, and how their movement eventually became the religion of Christianity. This accessible volume examines the concepts, beliefs, issues, and events that gave rise to institutional Christianity—providing readers with the historical context of the gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, the Acts of the Apostles, the Book of Revelation, the letters of Paul, and other foundational New Testament documents. Approaching the subject from the multidisciplinary perspective of Religious Studies, the author addresses topics including the ethnic and religious background of “Jesus the Jew,” the New Testament’s different portraits of Jesus, the genesis of Christian concepts such as the divine incarnation and “second coming” of Jesus, Paul the Apostle’s contributions to Christian dogma, how ancient Judaism, Greco-Roman culture, and early philosophy was incorporated into the Christian tradition, and more. Containing maps, timelines, figures of archaeological sites, a brief history of ancient Judaism, and a wealth of pedagogical features, The Origins of Christianity and the New Testament is an excellent textbook for all undergraduate and graduate courses in the study of ancient Christianity, as well as lay readers with interest in tracing the roots of the Christian faith.

Por muito tempo ignorado e condenado ao ostracismo, agora finalmente em forma de livro em alemão: Este Jornal da Fênix No. 02 contém os testemunhos não filtrados e sem censura dos eventos dramáticos em Israel 2.000 anos atrás. Chocante, comovente – e muito controverso à doutrina da igreja.Esta fonte encontrou seu caminho ao público nas condições mais difíceis. Jesus Sananda Jmmanuel diz na introdução: "O seguinte documento foi traduzido de pergaminhos trazidos à luz em 1963 por um padre católico de origem grega. O maior dos pergaminhos foi escrito na minha presença. Este texto comprova, sem dúvida alguma, que as falsas crenças das religiões são completamente desprovidas da verdade e que são maquinações irresponsáveis de criaturas inescrupulosas, das quais, algumas foram contratadas pela «Santa Sé».
Com apenas estas palavras, Jesus Sananda Jmmanuel demonstra que ele não corresponde às imagens distorcidas de um «softie» amolecido. Naquela época ele veio – como diz o livro – para trazer "a espada da verdade e do conhecimento e o poder do espírito que habita no homem”.
O conteúdo deste livro traz clareza, por exemplo, sobre o que ele ensinou e exemplificou, do por que seu nome foi mudado para «Jesus», quem foram seus mestres, por que ele trilhou o caminho da crucificação, quem foram os verdadeiros traidores e muitos detalhes – proféticos – sobre sua promessa em voltar para nós.
São palavras de grande poder e sabedoria. Quem estiver pronto para se envolver com seu coração no «espírito» desses textos, receberá profundas experiências de conhecimento.

Nicht so viel denken, mehr lieben – ist ein Zitat der Hl. Teresa von Avila, und es verweist uns auf die Liebe als Essenz aller Religionen. Durch einen Vergleich der Worte Jesu in der Bergpredigt mit denen des Buddha in seiner Lehrrede über die Liebende Güte zeigt Ayya Khema die Gemeinsamkeiten der beiden großen Religionsstifter auf. Liebe und Mitgefühl werden im Christentum und im Buddhismus immer wieder als Tore zu Zufriedenheit, Glück und Erlösung beschrieben.
