In recent decades, New Perspective Biblical scholars have challenged the Protestantism's basic teachings. According to these scholars, Luther thought that both Medieval Catholicism and Judaism focused on good works as necessary for entry into God's covenant community. Therefore, Luther thought that St.Paul's critique of Judaism was similar to his own critique of Medieval Catholicism. However, the New Perspectivists show that in Judaism one enters God's covenant community through grace, and only maintains one's covenant status through good works. Thus the New Perspectivists claim that unlike Medieval Catholicism, Judaism was not legalistic and therefore Luther misunderstood St. Paul's critique. Eriksson defends Luther's discoveries by...

In this well-timed, important book, Luther scholar and ethicist Noel F.R. Guzman romanticizes the creational values and critiques the human-centered thoughts of Martin Luther, a pivotal figure of Christianity and Western civilization. This book mends the destructiveness of the human-centered elements in Luther's thought, largely shared with the broader Christian tradition, bringing Luther into contact with non-Western critiques, particularly the aboriginal communities, as well as criticizing the ethnocentric Christian mission. It further lays an ethic based on Luther's God-centered perspective against the anthropocentric tendencies of Christian tradition in order to redirect a more holistic mission and a right relationship with nature....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A martyrology is a catalogue or list of martyrs (or, more precisely, of saints), arranged in the calendar order of their anniversaries or feasts. Local martyrologies record exclusively the custom of a particular Church. Local lists were enriched by names borrowed from neighbouring Churches. Consolidation occurred, by the combination of several local martyrologies, with or without borrowings from literary sources. This is the now accepted meaning in the Latin Church. In the Orthodox Church the nearest equivalent to the martyrology is the Synaxarion, and the longer Menologion. As regards form, one should distinguish between simple martyrologies that simply enumerate names, and historical...

A Mary garden is a small plot of cultivated land enclosing a statute of Mary, who is known to many Christians as the Blessed Virgin, Mother Mary or the Mother of God. In Christian tradition, Mary is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Christ. Mary gardens are most common to those Christian denominations which hold Mary in special esteem, particularly Roman Catholics and Anglicans. The practice originated among monasteries and convents in medieval Europe. The first such garden open to the public in the United States was founded in 1932 at St. Joseph's Church, Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The statute of Mary, and sometimes of the baby Jesus, is central to the garden. Select flowers, shrubs, and trees associated with the...

It is named after Maryam, the actual (Semitic) name for Mary, Mother of Jesus (Isa). The popular variant of the name Maryam, Mary, is a Westernized or Anglicized version. Similarly, the popular, Westernized or Anglicized name Jesus is actually Yeshua. This sura begins with two narrations of 'miraculous births' of God's Elect: Yahya (John the Baptist) and Isa (Jesus). The two readings (from the Bible and the Qur'an) of this episode are complementary and serve to illuminate deeper spiritual meaning of Yahya's advent and spiritual mission.

The N?th yogis, with their roots in the tantric milieu of medieval North India, are the instigators of ha?ha yoga. Their ultimate goal is the transmutation of sexual fluids into the elixir of immortality. The masters of this yoga are siddhas, the possessors of siddhis, the occult powers that culminate in deification. Scholars have noticed the importance of the occult and magic among the N?ths, but these categories are rarely given appropriate theoretical considerations. The academic study of esotericism, conversely, directly engages the occult but often restricts itself to Western traditions. This study argues that there are advantages in applying the conceptual vocabulary and theoretical conclusions of esoteric studies to the...
