Bogen er en introduktion til det brede fagområde sjælesorg og diakoni og rummer – foruden en drøftelse af begrebet sjælesorg – en fremstilling af fagets grundlag, arbejdsområde og metode.Møde og dialog er en indføring i arbejdsfeltet sjælesorg og diakoni. Sjælesorgen har traditionelt været anset som præstens arbejde og været forbundet med samtale i kritiske livssituationer, mens diakonien har betegnet kirkernes og de kirkelige organisationers sociale arbejde – varetaget af bl.a. diakoner og sygeplejersker. I bogen peger Johannes Nissen på, at i mødet med mennesker i nød er den nødvendige hjælp sjældent enten den diakonale omsorg eller den sjælesørgeriske samtale, men oftest begge dele.Bogen henvender sig til studerende på de diakonale uddannelser, medarbejdere i diakonale institutioner og organisationer, og til alle andre – præster og lægfolk – som er optaget af sjælesorgens rolle i det moderne samfund.Johannes Nissen har været ansat på Teologi på Aarhus Universitet, først som lektor i Ny Testamente og senere i Praktisk Teologi. I sin mangeårige forskning har han udgivet en række bøger og artikler inden for sine primære interessefelter: bibelstudier i relation til etik, mission og økumeni. Desuden har han skrevet om praktisk-teologiske emner, herunder diakoni.

"Firm footing for a life of holy trouble." - Shane ClaiborneThe Christian faith has a rich tradition of civil disobedience. Old Testament stories of noncooperation with evil, or prophets standing up to Kings at great cost. Jesus, the nonviolent revolutionary, peacemaker, risk-taker. The early Christian communities, repeatedly imprisoned for speaking truth to power-like Dorothy Day or Martin Luther King Jr., centuries later.Nonviolent civil disobedience, when rooted in faith, is not only a way to protest unjust laws; it can be an experience of the sacred. It can be both a symbol and the reality of Christ's love, overcoming the violence that surrounds us. Within this book you'll find a civil resister's field guide to that tradition, and best practices for discernment, court appearances, even jail time. And if there comes a time to cross the line, you'll find yourself in good company.

De fleste af os ved, hvem Jesus var. Ved vi også, hvem Kristus er? Det spørgsmål kan synes underligt for de af os, der altid har fået at vide, at Jesus og Kristus er den samme.Men skal vi gribe den store vision, som oprulles for os i Bibelen, har vi brug for både Jesus og Kristus, og vi må lære at skelne mellem dem: Gud har åbenbaret sig på et bestemt tidspunkt i historien i personen Jesus – Kristus er skabelsens igangsætter og har til alle tider været universets inderste, bærende princip.Kristendommen handler om noget endnu større end at tro på Jesus som Guds søn og verdens frelser. At være ”i Kristus” er at komme til erkendelse af, at verden er beåndet og hellig, og at den guddommelige kærlighed gennemtrænger alt og alle – lige fra det mindste atom til den største galakse.Den universelle Kristus er det gudsnærvær, i hvem vi ”lever, røres og er”. I sin banebrydende bog kalder Richard Rohr os ind i denne underfulde virkelighed og viser, hvordan vi kan blive en aktiv del af den Guds kærlighedsstrøm, der flyder gennem verden.

2023 Credo Magazine Book Awards Winner, Theological RetrievalHoly Scripture requires holy reading. Encounter an ancient but fresh way of reading the Bible.Learn from Augustine, Anselm of Canterbury, Bernard of Clairvaux, and others.Experience a structured and attentive way to focus on Christ, listen to the Spirit, and rest in God's love.Christians read Scripture to encounter Christ and be conformed to his image. Jesus is the point of reading the Bible. But Scripture is no mere human text; it is God's living word. So how should we read it?For Christians throughout the centuries, the answer has been lectio divina--"divine reading." Lectio divina is a sacramental reading. It aims to take us more deeply into the life of God. Through practicing the four movements of lectio divina--attentive reading, extended meditation, prayerful reflection, and silent resting--we focus on Christ, listen to the Spirit, and rest in God's love. We no longer simply read the words of Scripture; instead, we read the face of God in the eternal Word.

Nostradamus (Michel de Nostradame) was born on December 14, 1503 in St. Remy, Provence, France. Nostradamus came from a long line of Jewish doctors and scholars. He is considered by many as one of the most famous and important writers of history prophecies. He is famous mainly for his book 'The Prophecies, ' consisting of quarantine in rhyme. Supporters of the trustworthiness of these prophecies attribute to Nostradamus the ability to predict an incredible number of events in world history, including the French Revolution, the Atomic bomb, the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the attacks of 11 September 2001. However, no one has ever proved that Nostradamus's quarters can provide reliable data for the foreseeable future. Nostradamus had the visions which he later recorded in verse while staring into water or flame late at night, sometimes aided by herbal stimulants, while sitting on a brass tripod. The resulting quatrains (four line verses) are oblique and elliptical, and use puns, anagrams and allegorical imagery. Most of the quatrains are open to multiple interpretations, and some make no sense whatsoever. Some of them are chilling, literal descriptions of events, giving specific or near-specific names, geographic locations, astrological configurations, and sometimes actual dates. It is this quality of both vagueness and specificity which allows each new generation to reinterpret Nostradamus.

R.T. Kendall has given us a treasure...the hope and possibility of experiencing incredible freedom and peace that can only come when we walk in total forgiveness. One of the core messages of the gospel is that of total forgiveness...not only that we can be totally forgiven by God, but also that we must, in turn, totally forgive others. Our culture is bound up in bitterness, resentment, and wallowing in wounds inflicted upon us by others, wounds that we all too easily accept and even cling to! This revised and updated best seller lovingly challenges believers to look within and root out those hidden and hardened places where subtle resentments and areas of un-forgiveness have been allowed to remain.

"Love is a transformative aspect of the spiritual path-and in fact, it is our very nature. A. H. Almaas takes us on a journey beyond a narrow, individual understanding of love to an exploration of what he calls the boundless dimension of divine love. This divine love is not the kind of love that we feel toward somebody else; it is nondual, a love without boundaries. Or put another way, it is nondual true nature experienced as love. By shifting our focus beyond the individual human experience to the experience of the wholeness of existence, we are able to see the true richness of the universe. When we are open to the dimension of divine love, we begin to experience our true nature, free from limitations-a sense of complete release, freedom, and delight, free of conflict, fear, insecurity, and worry. Almaas discusses the obstacles and obscurations that make it difficult to awaken to true nature in this way, such as our belief in a separate self and our past condition. Each chapter includes an inquiry or practice to explore the themes further"--

Glemte danskere vil give læseren mulighed for at trænge ind i den danske middelalder og opleve nogle af de mennesker, der havde betydning for tiden, og derved bidrage til en dybere forståelse af dansk identitet: Disse markante figurers fortællinger giver indsigt i, hvordan det danske rige blev en del af det første europæiske fællesskab – middelalderens kristne kirke i Vesteuropa.Som formidlingsgreb benytter Brian Patrick McGuire sig af det, der kaldes haute vulgarisation – en faghistorikers henvendelse til et bredt publikum, med forskningsresultater der tager udgangspunktet i primærkilder på latin. Det har han tidligere gjort i fx det anmelderroste værk Da Himmelen kom nærmere, der handler om Danmarks kristning; Glemte danskere følger op og er beretningen om det, der skete, da Danmark var blevet kristnet.Bogen er illustreret med fotos fra bl.a. Skive Gamle Kirke, hvor der er et væld af kalkmalerier fra 1520 af bl.a. danske helgener, et ganske enestående fænomen, som er med til at vise, hvordan helgenerne blev opfattet lige op til den protestantiske reformation.

For centuries, Paul, the apostle who ?saw the light on the Road to Damascus? and changed dramatically from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Jesus, has been one of the church's most widely cited early teachers. Yet for leading New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright, most Bible scholars and pastors have not fully grasped what Paul was actually doing and why.In focusing on Paul's letters and theology, Wright argues, they have, in short, overlooked the essence of the man's life and the extreme unlikelihood of what he achieved. In response, Wright offers a new way of understanding one of the most famous Christian figures. Wright draws attention to Paul the man?the man who survived assassination attempts, imprisonments, and shipwrecks all while inventing new language and concepts for faithfully translating Jesus's story for the Gentile world. In this pioneering new account, Wright celebrates Paul's humanity, arguing that this is the best context for understanding him and ultimately for appreciating how he invented new paradigms for how we understand Jesus. ?The problem,? Wright explains, ?is that while Paul is central to any understanding of early Christianity, we cannot understand him without taking full account of the pre-Christian Jewish beliefs and hopes that he believed had been fulfilled in Jesus.? Only when we consider Paul in this manner can we move on to understanding how he led the way for Christianity to conquer the Roman world.

'This is a handbook on spiritual obstetrics, written out of deep concern that so many Christians have been badly 'delivered'. So often, later spiritual disease can be traced back to an inadequate initiation into the Kingdom. A better birth means greater growth in a healthy Christian life.'Basing his study on the New Testament, David Pawson advocates a synthesis of the 'liberal' emphasis on repentance, the 'evangelical' on faith, the 'sacramental' on baptism and the 'pentecostal' on the Spirit. He then relates these 'spiritual doors' to the concepts of conversion and regeneration.THE NORMAL CHRISTIAN BIRTH looks at crucial and controversial texts, challenging traditional interpretations. The ¿nal section on evangelistic counselling questions the adequacy of the typical 'sinner's prayer' approach. Drawing from scripture and experience, David Pawson gives many practical tips on helping potential disciples to repent, believe, be baptised and receive the Spirit.David Pawson has a worldwide teaching ministry, particularly for church leaders. He is known to many through Christian broadcasting and is the author of numerous books.

Embrace the power of ritual with simple yet “powerful” (Kim Chestney, author of Radical Intuition and founder of IntuitionLab) practices that slow us down to honor and mark the real moments in our lives—from the loss of a parent to the birth of a child, from grieving a pet to celebrating coming out of the closet.Life has many transitions: A baby is born. A child leaves for college. A marriage. A divorce. A death. We all experience moments of profound change, but what do we do to mark those moments? How do we become mindful of these events and imbue them with purpose and meaning? Could our lives be better, richer, and more resilient if we had more practical resources and rituals to honor, sanctify, and make sense of these transitions? Day Schildkret, artist and author behind the international Morning Altars movement, believes that what we need is ritual. Rituals are the rhythms and traditions that give us a sense of stability in the face of uncertainty by reminding us that there’s always something we can do, say or make that conjures awe, contentment, and gratitude. They give us a way to acknowledge through our actions that, as life changes, we too must change.
