Efforts to construct a Christian theology of religions have inevitably stumbled on the Christian scandal of particularity—the historical Jesus of Nazareth. What, however, if we began by focusing on the universal presence and activity of God in the world as symbolized by the Holy Spirit? Yong develops just such a pneumatological approach to religions, drawing, by way of resource, on the Pentecostal-charismatic experience of the Spirit. This book thus invites Pentecostals, charismatics, and other Christians to conceive of how a pneumatological approach to religions can invigorate the wider ecumenical conversation. At the same time, it also brings recent Pentecostal-charismatic scholarship into dialogue with a broader audience, including those interested in philosophical theology, world religions, global spiritualities, and comparative religion and theology.

As people who profess faith in God, it often feels as though we live our lives in two different silos: one where we worship God and draw close to Him and another where we deal with the messy realities of everyday life. This book shows how to combine these two silos into one dynamic and living faith that impacts every area of life. With nearly fifty real-life examples and conversations, readers have the opportunity to see for themselves how idolatry hides in the heart, and witness the stunning response of God to provide peace and wisdom when that idol is relinquished. Suitable as a group or individual study for laypersons, ministers, and biblical counselors, this book sheds new light on the idea of biblical sufficiency for every aspect of life, with an emphasis on times of heartache or suffering. The first half of the book teaches the reader how to discern and identify the idols in his or her own heart. The second half adds to that material and demonstrates how to help others see their hearts more clearly.

From a relational and evolutionary perspective on the mystery of vocation, the authors develop the principles of discernment for Christian marriage, celibacy, and singlehood. They see the vocational core of marriage as a calling by God of each spouse to be a unique instrument of transformation and purification in the other's spiritual journey. They identify the vocational core of celibacy as the relationship between Jesus and the celibate rendering the celibate unmarriageable for the sake of Christ and the Gospel. They view the vocational core of singlehood as witness to a certain independence for the sake of the reign of God. In the light of each vocational core, the authors discuss specific signs which indicate and authentic calling. This book appeals to those seeking to discern their personal vocation as well as to those guiding them.

This book examines the influence of the Enlightenment on theology, arguing that its legacy did not profoundly affect the importance of tradition; that the ways of older theology hold a surprising relevance; and that the unity between theology and spirituality is once again discerned.

From back cover - The call to seek and find God's will, spiritual consolation and desolation, the ways of discernment, the freedom and responsibility of Christian decision making, the great variety of opinions on what discernment means ... Here is a carefully detailed study of such topics and many other connected with them as they arise in the teaching of Ignatius of Loyola. (Description by http-mart)

A Discerning Church presents a theological model for these changing times. It examines the thought of Bernard Lonergan, and offers an assessment of the significance of Pope Francis and the church since the Second Vatican Council. It then explores major insights and issues, such as ecclesial reform, globalization, and sexuality, that will impact the future of the church.

Trance states, prophesying, convulsions, fasting, and other physical manifestations were often regarded as signs that a person was seized by spirits. In a book that sets out the prehistory of the early modern European witch craze, Nancy Caciola shows how medieval people decided whom to venerate as a saint infused with the spirit of God and whom to avoid as a demoniac possessed of an unclean spirit. This process of discrimination, known as the discernment of spirits, was central to the religious culture of Western Europe between 1200 and 1500.Since the outward manifestations of benign and malign possession were indistinguishable, a highly ambiguous set of bodily features and behaviors were carefully scrutinized by observers. Attempts to make decisions about individuals who exhibited supernatural powers were complicated by the fact that the most intense exemplars of lay spirituality were women, and the "fragile sex" was deemed especially vulnerable to the snares of the devil. Assessments of women's spirit possessions often oscillated between divine and demonic interpretations. Ultimately, although a few late medieval women visionaries achieved the prestige of canonization, many more were accused of possession by demons. Caciola analyzes a broad array of sources from saints' lives to medical treatises, exorcists' manuals to miracle accounts, to find that observers came to rely on the discernment of bodies rather than seeking to distinguish between divine and demonic possession in purely spiritual terms.
