Maria Petyt – A Carmelite Mystic in Wartime
Based on the discovery of an unknown Latin manuscript, Maria Petyt - A Carmelite Mystic in Wartime provides surprising new information about the seventeenth century Flemish mystic Maria Petyt (1623-1677) who wrote many letters to her spiritual director, Michael of St. Augustine. The book contains a transcription of the (unfortunately partly damaged) manuscript, an English translation of it, and several articles opening up new horizons concerning the life and spirituality of Maria Petyt and her historical and religious backgrounds. The authors characterize Maria Petyt as a self-confident spiritual daughter with a strong political mission, a zealous figure fighting side by side with Louis XIV for the catholic victory during the Dutch War, and as one who lived and profoundly understood the spirituality of Teresa of Avila.
Santa Teresa
Even prior to her widely observed 500th anniversary, Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582) was already considered one of the most important authors of occidental mysticism. This volume gathers together contributions from a multitude of disciplines to explore the writings and reception of the Spanish author and saint. Previously disregarded lines of tradition are explored for a new understanding of her oeuvre, which is examined here with special regard to the potential to affect its readers. Teresa proves to not only be an accomplished, but also a very literary writer. Santa Teresa proves to be a figure of cultural memory, and the diffusion of her thinking is traced up to the present, whereby a recurrent focus is put on the phenomenon of ecstasy. Part of the widespread resonance of her work is the image of the iconic saint whose emergence as an international phenomenon is presented here for the first time. The volume is closed by an interview with Marina Abramovi answering four questions about Teresa.
Die Kammer der Andacht
Die Kammer der Andacht basiert auf einem Text des flamischen Mystikers und Karmeliten Franciscus Amelry (um 1550), dessen Werk vor kurzem erst wiederentdeckt wurde. Es geht in diesem Text um die Geschichte einer Seele, die sich in Gott verliebt hat. Ihre Begleiterin, die Amme, weist der Seele den Weg in die Liebesekstase hinein - bis hin zur unio mystica. Ein Mystagoge hebt ins Bewusstsein, was mit der Seele geschieht, die Gott immer naher kommt. Das MusikTheaterKoln hat diesen Text als Vorlage fur eine Theaterarbeit ausgewahlt. Wahrend der Probenzeit wurde eine szenisch-musikalische Improvisationsstruktur erarbeitet. Die Regisseurin Ursula Albrecht hat auf Grund ihrer langjahrigen Erfahrung mit Texten aus der christlichen Mystik und durch ihre Lehrtatigkeit im Bereich der szenischen Improvisation einen zielorientierten phanomenologischen Regiestil entwickelt.
Machtmissbrauch und Gewalt – religiöse Versuchung und Versagen der Kirche
"Bei euch soll es nicht so sein" verlangt Jesus (Lk 22,28) – nicht so wie bei denen, die andere klein machen und benutzen, um selbst groß zu sein. Tatsächlich ist die Kirche in vieler Hinsicht weit davon entfernt, die "Kontrastgesellschaft" zu sein, die Jesus sich gewünscht hat und für die er Vorbild ist. Die Aufdeckung von sexuellem Missbrauch und seiner Vertuschung über Jahrzehnte hin hat zu einer sensibleren und be-wussteren Wahrnehmung von Machtmissbrauch in der Kirche beigetragen. Stichworte sind Klerikalismus und Intransparenz, die Verschleppung der "Frauenfrage" oder übergriffige Prak-tiken in Seelsorge und geistlicher Begleitung von Menschen. Der vorliegende Band versammelt die Vorträge des Kontaktstudiums der Theologischen Fa-kultät Fulda 2020, erweitert durch Beiträge anderer Experten, und leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Aufdeckung der Gründe religiöser Gewaltlegitimierung und zur Veränderung der Praxis.
Community Music Therapy
Music therapists from around the world working in conventional and unconventional settings have offered their contributions to this exciting new book, presenting spirited discussion and practical examples of the ways music therapy can reflect and encourage social change. From working with traumatized refugees in Berlin, care-workers and HIV/AIDS orphans in South Africa, to adults with neurological disabilities in south-east England and children in paediatric hospitals in Norway, the contributors present their global perspectives on finding new ways forward in music therapy. Reflecting on traditional approaches in addition to these newer practices, the writers offer fresh perceptions on their identity and role as music therapists, their assumptions and attitudes about how music, people and context interact, the sites and boundaries to their work, and the new possibilities for music therapy in the 21st century. As the first book on the emerging area of Community Music Therapy, this book should be an essential and exciting read for music therapists, specialists and community musicians.
The Wars of Religion in France, 1559-1576
This book provides a detailed and insightful account of the religious wars that rocked France in the second half of the sixteenth century, and had a profound impact on the politics, society, and culture of early modern Europe. The author examines the complex interplay between religious, political, and social forces that drove the conflict, as well as the role played by key figures like the Huguenot leader Admiral Coligny, Queen Mother Catherine de Medici, and the Spanish King Philip II. This book is a seminal work in the field of French and European history. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it....
Social Competence in Children
In this book, readers will discover a developmental view of social functioning in children at different stages. Chapters are based in transactional theory in that the environment plays a role in the development of social competence skills as well as the biological contributions the child brings to his/her experiences. The familial and school contributions to social understanding are discussed in this volume.
Early Christian Discernment of Spirits
Based upon a comparative analysis, this book argues that early notions of 'discernment of spirits' are not superior to later ones. Discernment of spirits is not a matter of an apostolically fixed ideal that should be traditionally cleaved to, but, above all, is a continual re-shaping and restructuring of this tradition. Christians were not expected to imitate the discernment of others, but rather were encouraged to make judgments for themselves. Dr. Elisabeth Hense is Assistant Professor for Spiritual Theology at Radboud University Nijmegen (NL).
