Paperback. Condition: Very Good. What are we missing when we look at the creation narratives of Genesis only or primarily through the lens of modern discourse about science and religion? Theologian Peter Bouteneff explores how first-millennium Christian understandings of creation can inform current thought in the church and in the public square. He reaches back into the earliest centuries of our era to recover the meanings that early Jewish and Christian writers found in the stories of the six days of creation and of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Readers will find that their forbears in the faith saw in the Genesis narrative not simply an account of origins but also a rich teaching about the righteousness of God, the saving mission of Christ, and the destiny of the human creature.…

Paper Back. Condition: New. Well aware of contemporary challenges confronting an Orthodox Christianity that refuses to budge in its adherence to truth, Bouteneff sets out to reestablish absolute truth as a tenable position and to revive and explore the lost connotations of the too-often scorned word 'dogma;' namely, 'that there is such a thing as absolute truth about God and the world, that this truth can be discerned, that it can be an object of faith and love, that it is the root of creativity and freedom.' After firmly establishing the existence of truth and grounding it in the person of Jesus Christ in the first half of the book, the remainder of the study explores how the Orthodox Church discerns dogma, beginning with the possibility and purpose of theology, moving on to the mechanics of doctrine (e.g. 'The Descent of the Holy Spirit' and 'The Formation of Doctrine'), and concluding with a summary of the Church's loci theologici, the sources from which theology is discerned: Scripture, Liturgy, Fathers, Councils, Canons, Saints, Icons and Art. Written as a survey text for a broad audience, this new Foundation Series volume offers both an effective apologia for truth to our age of relativism as well as an excellent overview of Orthodox theology to anyone interested, whether new or cradle Orthodox, or non-Orthodox. 213 pp.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "This superb study of early Christian interpretations of Genesis 1-3 fills a major gap in the literature. . . . Bouteneff's book is not only an introduction but contains many insights of interest to specialists. . . . The descriptive material in this book is an end in itself, worth reading repeatedly and pondering."--Verna E. F. Harrison, Church Historyundefined undefined undefined Recently renewed debates concerning creation and evolution make contemporary Christians wonder how their forebears in the faith understood the Genesis creation narratives. Were the stories of the six days and of the garden read historically, or did they have some other function? This volume from Peter Bouteneff brings needed attention to early Christian understandings of those key biblical texts.undefined After introductory chapters on the narratives and their reception in early Judaism and in the New Testament (especially in Paul's letters), Bouteneff focuses on the church fathers. He considers how the narratives of Genesis 1-3 were read as foundational, authoritative texts during the formative centuries when the Greek fathers were laying the framework of Christian theology. Chapters are devoted to writers of the second century (the apologists, from Justin to Irenaeus), the third century (mainly Origen but also the Latin writer Tertullian), and the fourth century (Cyril of Jerusalem, Athanasius, and especially the three Cappadocian fathers). Bouteneff finds that from Paul onward, the primary interest in Adam was as a prefiguration of Christ. The six days of creation bespeak God's ordered creation of the world through Christ, and early Christian readings of Genesis reflect Christ-centered understandings of providence and time.undefined undefined Bouteneff's engaging and informative study makes the Greek fathers' thought accessible to biblical interpreters and theologians as well as pastors, students, and all who are interested in the early church and its use of the Bible." An accessible account of the early church's reading of the creation narrative in Genesis 1, providing contemporary readers with a model for attending to the theological meaning of the text.

Paperback. Condition: New. Scholarly writing on the music of Arvo Pärt is situated primarily in the fields of musicology, cultural and media studies, and, more recently, in terms of theology/spirituality. Arvo Pärt: Sounding the Sacred focuses on the representational dimensions of Pärt's music (including the trope of silence), writing and listening past the fact that its storied effects and affects are carried first and foremost as vibrations through air, impressing themselves on the human body. In response, this ambitiously interdisciplinary volume asks: What of sound and materiality as embodiments of the sacred, as historically specific artifacts, and as elements of creation deeply linked to the human sensorium in Pärt studies? In taking up these questions, the book "de-Platonizes" Pärt studies by demystifying the notion of a single "Pärt sound." It offers innovative, critical analyses of the historical contexts of Pärt's experimentation, medievalism, and diverse creative work; it re-sounds the acoustic, theological, and representational grounds of silence in Pärt's music; it listens with critical openness to the intersections of theology, sacred texts, and spirituality in Pärt's music; and it positions sensing, performing bodies at the center of musical experience. Building on the conventional score-, biography-, and media-based approaches, this volume reframes Pärt studies around the materiality of sound, its sacredness, and its embodied resonances within secular spaces.…
