On Love
The version of the Rule of St. Augustine used at the Abbey of St.Victor began with the command to love God above all things and ones neighbor as oneself. Not surprisingly, then, love was a pervasive theme in the writings produced there, many of which are introduced and translated here: (1)five lyrical essays by Hugh of St.Victor (d.1141): The Praise of Charity; The Betrothal Gift of the Soul; In Praise of the Spouse; On the Substance of Love; What Truly Should Be Loved?; (2)On the Four Degrees of Violent Love, by Richard of St.Victor (d.1173), which traces the likenesses and differences between romantic love and the love of God; (3)Achard of St.Victor (d.1170), Sermon5 and two of Adam of St.Victors sequences are examples of how these authors wove love into their writings; (4)excerpts from the Microcosmus by Godfrey of St.Victor (d.ca.1195), summarize the central place of love in his humanistic theological anthropology.
Speaking in Tongues: A Critical Historical Examination
In three carefully researched volumes, this ground-breaking study examines the gift of tongues through 2,000 years of church history. Starting in the present and working back in time, these volumes consider (1) the modern redefinition of "tongues" as a private prayer language; (2) the church's perennial understanding of "tongues" as ordinary human languages; and (3) the Corinthian "tongues," which, in light of Jewish liturgical tradition, turn out to have been a foreign liturgical language (Hebrew or Aramaic) requiring bilingual interpreters. In the first volume, the authors establish that modern glossolalia, far from being a supernatural gift enjoyed by certain believers since the time of P...

The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement
With this final volume, devoted to the Holiness-Pentecostal Movement, Charles Edwin Jones's landmark 1974 work has now been expanded into a three-part series, which breaks up his original book into 4 volumes on The Wesleyan Holiness Movement (2 Volumes), The Keswick Movement, and The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement. The series provides materials for study of doctrine, worship, institutional development, and personalities, as well as antecedent and related movements.
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.
Otto von Freising
Als Bischof Otto von Freising 1158 im Alter von kaum 46 Jahren starb, hatte er – auch für einen Menschen im Mittelalter – seinen Lebensweg zeitig abgeschritten. Er war als fünfter Sohn des Markgrafen LeopoldIII. von Österreich und der Agnes, Tochter Kaiser HeinrichsIV., zur Welt gekommen. Als Enkel und Neffe von Kaisern, Halbbruder eines Königs, Bruder von Herzögen und eines Bischofs gehörte er zur Spitze der Gesellschaft – und ein Spitzenamt in dieser Gesellschaft sollte er nach dem Willen seiner Familie auch dereinst bekleiden. So schickte man ihn zum Studium nach Paris, damit er dort jene Techniken erwerben sollte, derer man bedurfte, wenn man die weltlichen und geistlichen An...
