His consideration of the local church as \"catholic\" in the literal sense, and the need to understand the universal Church not as a superstructure but as the communion of all Churches, provides the program for the ecclesiology of the future.

In essence, they aspire to encourage readers to continue “steadfastly in the Apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block\"\u003eSKU:PB-TUEAVI-2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block isbn\"\u003eISBN:978-0-88141-793-7\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block editor\"\u003eEditor:Rico Vitz\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block size\"\u003eSize:5.5 x 8.5\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block pages\"\u003ePages:272 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St Vladimir's Seminary Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52004843356448,"sku":"PB-TUEAVI-2","price":57.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/6260\/0736\/files\/Turning_East_II_5.5x8.5_front_cover_1__77286.png?v=1784515095"},{"product_id":"turning-east-ii-contemporary-philosophers-and-the-ancient-christian-faith-copy","title":"Experiential Faith: Miracles, Holy People \u0026 Science in the Age of Materialism","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Buxhoeveden weaves together multiple strands of personal experience—his many years as a college professor and scientist, together with his interest in spiritual phenomena and miracles and his eclectic personal background, as well as his interest in the relationship between science and faith—in this fascinating exploration of modern-day miracles and experiences of holiness. \u003cem\u003eExperiential Faith\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates through firsthand accounts that many modern people experience the divine in remarkable ways that cannot be reduced to materialist explanations.

The ultimate aim of the Four Hundred Chapters on Love is to cultivate love for neighbor, but also the love for God that must orient all other human affections and desires. This work is one of the greatest achievements of the Byzantine monastic tradition and is one of the foremost of the ascetical writings of that tradition, meant to instill in the reader the habits necessary so that, as St. Paul would say, the same mind is in you as was in Christ Jesus (Phil. 2:5). Maximus uses the well-known monastic genre of “chapters” to deliver short, digestible maxims that nevertheless remain unsurpassed in their profundity and insight into human psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition offers a fresh translation of the ancient classic side by side with the Greek text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuis Joshua Salés is Professor and Chair of Religious Studies at Scripps College.
