This is the third of a three-volume series. The first two volumes translated St Symeon's Ethical Discourses, while this audiobook seeks to place the teaching of the discourses in their proper context, both among Symeon's other writings and with regard to his sources in the Tradition. Included thus is a sketch of Symeon's life and times, together with an extensive discussion of his thought, particularly against the background in the ascetical, mystical, and theological literature of the Christian East prior to the tenth century.

Whenever we read, think, hear, or say anything about God, we are doing theology. Yet theology isn't just a matter of what we think. It affects who we are. Kelly Kapic offers a concise introduction to the study of theology for newcomers to the field. He highlights the value and importance of theological study and explains its unique nature as a serious discipline. Not only concerned with content and method, Kapic explores the skills, attitudes, and spiritual practices needed by those who take up the discipline.

St Symeon's theology is a summation of a lifelong study of the Scriptures and fathers, of an immersion in the liturgical life of the Church and of lived experience. The treatises on the mystical life, usually rendered as The Ethical Discourses, comprise St Symeon's most extensive treatment of the experience of God. Volume I selects those treatises devoted to the Church, the sacraments and the last things. The SVS Press audiobook program is sponsored by St. Symeon Illumination Fund.

Why do we often do what we know we shouldn't, and yet fail to do that which we know we should? It's the power of emotions that often wage war within us, wreaking havoc and confusion that often leads us to sin. Emotions touch upon every aspect of life: family, friendship, parenting, marriage, and all interactions at work and in the church, triggering reactions and dictating how we respond to everyday situations around us.

Com base em questionamentos como esses, os autores criaram um dos mais populares cursos da Universidade Yale, em que discutem o sentido da existência humana e como podemos alinhar nossa vida prática com nossos princípios essenciais. O objetivo deste audiolivro é expandir essa discussão, apresentando argumentos e pontos de vista distintos – às vezes até opostos – para refletirmos sobre assuntos como vida e morte, bem e mal, sucesso e fracasso, ética e virtude, justiça e propósito.

This classic little book for new and experienced theologians alike offers wise counsel on the difficulties - and vital importance - of maintaining one's spiritual health in the course of academic theological study. Since the book's first appearance in English translation in 1962, thousands of beginning theological students have had the opportunity to eavesdrop, as it were, on the opening lecture of a theological seminar by one of the 20th century's leading Christian thinkers, Helmut Thielicke.

The church is filled with people asking, "Is this it? Is this all the Christian life is supposed to be?" They long to experience more of God's presence - they just don't know how to get there. Some have been burned by "charismania." Others are fearful of it. Is there a way to experience the Spirit - without the weirdness? Author and pastor Alan Kraft provides a biblical pathway into the exhilaration of an everyday experience with the Holy Spirit, showing how normal it can be to hear God's voice, know his love, and walk in his power.

C. T. Studd was one of the Cambridge Seven in the 1800s. These men dedicated their lives to Christian missions work. This bold treatise by Studd encourages Christians to be bold in sharing their faith - to contain inner granite rather than melting chocolate. This is an impassioned look at taking faith seriously in a time when comfort was sought with greater enthusiasm.
