Yves Congar's Vision of Faith
How is Christian faith possible in an increasingly secularised world? This is the question that troubled the French Dominican Yves Congar from his early years as a theologian and continued to do so throughout his life. The Dominican would admit that there exists today a situation in which the positive affirmations of faith concerning a supernatural order, posited and revealed by God's initiative, risk sinking into insignificance. In view of such a reality concerning a world that has hardly any religion and where many find themselves more and more within a frame of life where there is no religious connotation, Congar demonstrates how to acquire an ardent "desire" to respond to this dilemma ta...
Overcoming Reductionism and Crafting a New Synthesis
This book explores and sheds light on the contemporary discourse between science and religion. Employing the methodological approach of modern science, Overcoming Reductionism aims to explain natural phenomena not in isolation from philosophical or theological interpretations. The book then focuses on the concept of pain. Although pain is a phenomenon familiar to all humans, defining it exclusively in terms of nociception proves challenging. This book therefore delves into the intricate nature of the phenomenon, critically acknowledging the way pain profoundly influences the construction of one's existential meaning, particularly concerning matters of faith.
Sir Jerome Horsey’s Travels and Adventures in Russia and Eastern Europe
This volume details Sir Jerome Horsey’s account of his experiences in Russia and other countries. Horsey, who spent the better part of seventeen years in the country until leaving in 1591, was an employee of the Muscovy Company, but also operated as an unofficial ambassador for both the English and Russian governments. He was personally acquainted with such people as Ivan the Terrible, Tsar Fyodor I and Boris Godunov, and gives lively and interesting accounts of his interactions with them, as well as with many other prominent people, both Russian and English. Horsey has been accused of exaggeration, chicanery and self-advertisement, but his account is by far the most readable and enjoyable of the many books written by English people sojourning in Russia. It has been published only twice, both times in conjunction with Giles Fletcher’s contemporary and more “professional” account of the Russian state; this edition, with a full introduction and extensive notes, is the first to present Horsey’s book on its own. It is a travel-book, an adventure story and an autobiography of a controversial and significant figure.
