Lo studio dell'Abate Perrella si muove su due fronti metodologici: quello critico e quello ermeneutico. Il testo del Simbolo Apostolico viene analizzato attraverso approcci sincronici (che studiano il testo in sé) ed approcci diacronici (che studiano il testo nella sua evoluzione storica). Attraverso l'acribia dell'esegeta l'Autore ci mostra come, nel testo Simbolo Apostolico, sia contenuto l'essenziale del kerygma e della predicazione apostolica, ma anche che, nella parte riguardante la Chiesa, esso sia stato sottoposto a interpolazioni che possono generare una ipertrofia ecclesiologica. La restituzione della tradizione più antica e di quella che doveva essere la versione più antica e originaria apre scorci interessanti, affinché le Chiese cristiane tornino ad cristocentrismo che le unisce, rinunciando al tentativo di affermare, ciascuna, se stessa come la vera Chiesa di Gesù. Dallo studio emerge il sapore neotestamentario che avevano le primitive confessioni di fede, ancora presenti, come innervata, nel testo del Simbolo Apostolico

Globalisation stands as an indispensable lens through which to analyse current cultural, political, and social transformations. This prevailing paradigm, acknowledged by its advocates and critics, profoundly shapes our environment. Within this global landscape, Islam's position is noteworthy¿often perceived as rejecting globalisation and its secular underpinnings. This book offers a perspective of the global resurgence of religion in general and the revival of Islam in particular as crucial features of globalisation. Furthermore, the book deeply explores how Islamist groups strategically challenge religious authority, utilising social media and the internet to reshape their spheres of influence. By exploring these dynamics, the book aims to provide comprehensive insights into the interplay between Islamist strategies, digital platforms, and religious institutions within our interconnected world.

Australia is a large country, bordered by the Pacific Ocean in the east and the Indian Ocean in the west, a distance of 3290 km. Following federation of the colonies in 1901, a railway line crossing the vast Nullarbor Plain was built, linking the eastern states with Western Australia. The railway line is 1658 km in length.Settlements, known as camps, each comprised of mainly six houses, were built every 80 km to provide accommodation for maintenance workers. They had no electricity and the only social activity was the arrival of the weekly Tea and Sugar provisions train. Small towns with workshops and schools 400 km apart were built at Tarcoola, Cook and Rawlinna.The founder of the Bush Church Aid Society (BCA), Rev S.J. Kirkby, visited the Trans Line in 1921 to see what could be done for the people in the railway camps. The trip gave Kirkby the desire to put a clergyman on the Line.While BCA established a medical work in 1937 with the opening of a hospital at Cook, there was only casual pastoral ministry along the railway line before Kirkby's dream came to fruition 43 years later.In The Cross and the Railway, John Wyndham initially gives us a brief history of the railway line as well as a history of early Christian ministry at Tarcoola, nearly 300 miles from Port Augusta. However, the main thrust of the book is the ministry following his appointment as resident clergyman in 1964.We have a picture of the isolation he and his wife experienced, the adventure of travelling 104,000km in 2¿ years by train and road, together with the opportunities to visit the 'camps' and proclaim the Gospel. And there is humour as well.

Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf was without question the most influential German theologian between Luther and Schleiermacher. He was the force behind modern Protestant missions, launched efforts that eventually became the ecumenical movement, and influenced some of the most significant theological projects of the modern world from Schleiermacher's to Barth's and Bonhoeffer's.He was convinced that in important respects the Christian church of his day had lost its way both intellectually and practically. In these speeches, given to overflow crowds in Berlin, he brought to expression what he held to be the absolute and nonnegotiable center of Christian existence-the main thing. Here he laid out for public view the heart of all his activity, the guiding reality of his life.In these speeches Zinzendorf focuses on fundamental theological themes. One senses the influence upon him of the Pietist movement and of Orthodox theology. One gains an appreciation for his bold idiosyncrasy, his willingness to stand apart, and to bear witness. But above all, one gains here an insight into the very heart of Zinzendorf.

This volume is the first in a new series of editions of Coptic-language "magical" manuscripts from Egypt, written on papyrus, ostraca, parchment, and paper, and dating to between the fourth and twelfth centuries CE. Their texts attest to non-institutional rituals intended to bring about changes in the lives of those who used them - heal disease, curse enemies, bring about love or hatred, or see into the future. These manuscripts represent rich sources of information on daily life and lived religion of Egypt in the last centuries of Roman rule and the first centuries after the Arab conquest, giving us glimpses of the hopes and fears of people of this time, their conflicts and problems, and their vision of the human and superhuman worlds. This volume presents 37 new editions and descriptions of manuscripts, focusing on formularies or "handbooks", those texts containing instructions for the performance of rituals. Each of these is accompanied by a history of its acquisition, a material description, and presented with facing text and translations, tracings of accompanying images, and explanatory notes to aid in understanding the text.
