The Spirit, the Affections, and the Christian Tradition
The essays in this volume explore the role of emotions and affections in the Christian tradition, focusing also on the importance of pneumatology in Christianity.
Affirming the Touch of God
Both Ignatius of Loyola and Jonathan Edwards wrote about the theme of Christian discernment. Evan B. Howard clarifies patterns of Christian discernment common to both Roman Catholics and Protestants. Yet his study extends analysis further; through a synthesis of cognitive psychology and religious philosophy, Howard provides greater specification of the roles of affectivity in discernment. This will allow spiritual advisors to better guide men and women into an effective discernment process. Psychologists, philosophers, and students of religion will find this book highly valuable.
Envisioning Experience in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages
Our imagination reveals our experience of ourselves and our world. The late philosopher of science and poetry Gaston Bachelard introduced the notion that each image that comes to mind spontaneously is a visual representation of the cognitive and affective pattern that is moving us at the time - often unconsciously. When such a mental image inspires a picture or text, it evokes in the mind of the reader or beholder a replication of the internal pattern that originally inspired the artist or writer. Thus mental images are rarely empty phantasies. Whereas intellectual concepts are conscious constructions of abstracted relations, mental images evoked by texts and pictures often point - like drea...
The Discernment of Spirits
"[Anderson] succeeds in neatly fitting together selected pieces of the history of discernment of spirits to provide a valuable, readable description of the contours of its evolution in the late Middle Ages." -- Debra L. Stoudt, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, The Medieval Review Late medieval Christians lived in a world of visions, but they knew that not all visions came from God: angels, demons, illness, nature, or passion could also inspire an apparent divine visitation. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the involvement of visionaries in everything from reform movements to military campaigns to papal schisms raised the political and spiritual stakes of de...

The Encroaching Desert: Egyptian Hagiography and the Medieval West
The book is an important contribution to the current debate about the usefulness of Egyptian hagiography as a historical source for late antique Egypt and to the study of the reception of the desert fathers in the medieval West.
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Covid-19 and the Caribbean, Volume 1
Caribbean countries have had to navigate multiple crises, which have tested their collective resolve through time. In this regard, the region’s landscape has been shaped by an interplay of vulnerability and resilience which has brought to the fore possibilities and contradictions.

The edited collection mobilises critical perspectives brought to bear on res...
Gott ist nicht kleinlich
Maß und Mitte zu finden ist notwendig: global, um zu überleben, individuell, um glücklich leben zu können. Maß und Mitte, wie die Bibel sie sieht, hat jedoch nichts mit welt- und leibfeindlichen Engführungen zu tun. Vielmehr zeigt sie einen leidenschaftlich liebenden, maß-losen Gott, für Christen abzulesen an Leben und Verkündigung Jesu. Wie Menschen in dessen Nachfolge zur Balance und zum richtigen Leben finden können, führt Christoph Benke, ein Kenner der großen spirituellen Traditionen des Christentums, in ignatianischem Geist aus.
