19.01.2022 SPIRITUALITY To Call on His Name: Perspectives on the Jesus Prayer by John F. Gill https://buff.ly/3cDVsJr... John Gill’s comprehensive study of the Jesus Prayer considers an ancient mystical prayer practice from the Christian East. He discusses the historical development of the prayer and its basis in scripture, patristic spirituality, theology, and psychology. He also compares the Jesus Prayer with prayer practices in the Christian West, demonstrating various similarities and differences. Having developed within the heart of the Christian tradition, the Jesus Prayer is a personal prayer expressing fundamental Christian faith; it is therefore a prayer which can hold universal appeal to Christians of all denominations. The book also includes guidance for those who want to learn to use the Jesus Prayer as part of their spiritual practice and suggestions for further reading. #pbmaus #paulinebooksaustralia #books

18.01.2022 Glimpses of the Gospel by Jack Mahoney, SJ https://buff.ly/3btKMML

15.01.2022 In a violent world, and amid the reality of catastrophic climate change, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Where can we turn to find the courage and inspiration, we need to stay hopeful and to keep working for peace? International peace activist Fr. John Dear has always found support and comfort in the psalms. In this profound and deeply reflective book he helps us see that if we read the psalms from Jesus’ vision of nonviolence, we will find new strength to turn away from hate... and anger toward greater trust and devotion to God and newfound wisdom, gratitude, and wonder. Filled with stories from his life and steeped in wisdom from both the Eastern and the Western peace traditions, these powerful and prayerful contemplations of thirty-two key psalms will strengthen our daily commitment to nonviolence and love. May these pages, says Fr. Dear, encourage you on your journey and lead you to even greater blessings of peace.

11.01.2022 MARIAN DEVOTION Mary in Different Traditions by Thomas G. Casey https://buff.ly/2yuKiYO... In Mary in Different Traditions we can learn to see Mary through the insights of other traditions and faiths. The book explores the insights of Lutheranism, Orthodoxy, Islam and Judaism, as well as the Eastern-rite Catholics. The book is an imaginative exploration of these other perspective experiences of Mary and the stories they tell about her. If readers can learn to wonder anew about this woman from Nazareth, maybe they’ll find themselves enjoying the even greater wonder of her son, Jesus. #pbmaus #paulinebooksaustralia #bookstore #books

10.01.2022 THEOLOGY When the Disciple Comes of Age: Christian Identity in the Twenty-First Century by Diarmuid O'Murchu https://buff.ly/2KoYipv... This book seeks to illuminate the spiritual journey of a small but rapidly growing Christian movement of those who seek to transcend inherited religions precisely because their enlarged sense of adult maturity requires them to do so. . . . For some, it means discarding a great deal of what no longer feels credible or useful. For others, it means reworking the tradition to make it relevant for the 21st century. For all, it involves an evolutionary imperative calling forth new levels of engagement with the complex spiritual awakening of our time. With his trademark exploration of the meaning of adult faith in an age marked by new understandings of cosmology, anthropology, quantum physics, and evolution, O’Murchu also includes here reflections on his own spiritual journey. When the Disciple Comes of Age offers an understanding of the Christian message that retains its power precisely by showing how it taps into deep archetypal and symbolic meaning. #pbmaus #paulinebooksaustralia #bookstore #books

09.01.2022 Is Jesus History? by John Dickson https://buff.ly/33O0QXb What can we really know for sure about the past? Can anything from ancient history be regarded as 'fact'? In particular, how seriously can we take the historical sources for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth? Did he really even live in first-century Galilee and Judaea, or is he a figure of legend?... In this timely book, historian Dr John Dickson unpacks how the field of history works, giving readers the tools to evaluate for themselves what we can confidently say about figures like the Emperor Tiberius, Alexander the Great, Pontius Pilate, and, of course, Jesus of Nazareth. He presents the evidence, methods, and conclusions of mainstream scholars-both Christian and not-and asks some pertinent contemporary questions, without offering any pushy answers: If Jesus really did exist, what are we to make of his own claims and those of his followers, and what would any of it mean for us today? #IsJesusHistory? #pbmaus #books #paulinebooksaustralia

06.01.2022 SCRIPTURE The Gospel of Matthew: A Spiritual and Pastoral Reading by Pope Francis https://buff.ly/2KqPYFI... In these reflections by Pope Francis, readers will meet Jesus and discover hidden treasure in the individual lines and words of Matthew’s Gospel. These pages simply allow us to be guided by Pope Francis, a master of prayerful silence, so that we may embrace a simple and living intimacy with Jesus, the Word made flesh. #pbmaus #paulinebooksaustralia #bookstore #books

06.01.2022 THEOLOGY Violence in the Name of God by Dr Joel Hodge https://buff.ly/2JcnxL3... This book traces the trajectory of militant jihadism to show how violence is more intentionally embraced as the centre of worship, social order and ideology. Undertaking an in-depth analysis of militant jihadist groups and utilising the work of René Girard, Joel Hodge argues that the extreme violence of militant jihadists is a response to modernity in two ways that have not been sufficiently explored by the existing literature. Firstly, it is a manifestation of the unrestrained and escalating state of desire and rivalry in modernity, which militant jihadists seek to counter with extreme violence. Secondly, it is a response to the unveiling and discrediting of sacred violence, which militant jihadists seek to reverse by more purposefully valorising sacred violence in what they believe to be jihad. Relevant to anyone interested in Islam, philosophy of religion, theology, and terrorism, Violence in the Name of God imagines new ways of thinking about militancy in the name of Islam in the twenty-first century. #pbmaus #paulinebooksaustralia
