Cardinal Jean Danielou (15 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. Decades before secularism and atheism wrested control of our institutions and took to the streets, the late Cardinal Jean Danielou foresaw their ominous ascent. While most of the Church was reveling in the optimism of Vatican II, Cardinal Danielou courageously sounded the alarm over the rise of these twin evils and the damage they would inflict on the Church and culture.Christianity, he argues, is in grave danger of being overwhelmed by the concurrent rise of seductive technologies, secularist doctrines, and atheistic ideologies. Modern society is allowing less and less space for the religious dimension of man, which is creating conditions that place the survival of the Christian people very much in doubt.But the surging secularism of privileged elites is not what concerned Danielou the most. Rather, he feared the de-Christianization of the masses and the effect that would have on society -- and on civilization itself. Why? Because when a Christian people is subverted and destroyed, it can be built back up again only through a long, painstaking effort.In Prayer as a Political Problem, Danielou explains the conditions that are necessary to build and maintain a Christian people. He explains why civilization requires that the Catholic Faith be truly rooted in society, with her teachings and sacraments available to all. He argues that we must make great strides now to change the shape and pattern of society if we are to preserve the common good of mankind. And if this fails, how our last remaining option will be to create oases of Christian communities where faith and vocations can develop and survive.There is much work to be done before the flower of Christendom can bloom once again. This little book provides an indispensable primer on how it can be done, as well as the impetus to begin doing it.…

Softcover. 4th printing. 249, [1] p.; 18 cm. (Meridian books ; M96: first printing 1957) Includes Nihil obstat and Imprimatur `My plan in this book is, then, not to record what I say of God, but what God has said of Himself. This is what justifies my plan and provides its directive. For God has spoken several times. He spoke and He speaks to all men through Creation, which is His handiwork, and through the spirit, which is His image. Then He spoke by His Prophets. And finally He spoke by His Son. Thus it is the same God who made Himself known to the heathen and to the philosophers, to the Jews and to the Christians. But amid all these ways of knowing God, it is desirable to establish some kind of order. And that is really the aim of this book: to place religions and philosophies, the Old Testament and the New, theology and mysticism, in their proper relationship with the knowledge of God. In this book we should also wish to help those who are groping after God, by showing them the ways by which He makes Himself known.' (p. 8) Good ex-lib., sewn, in laminated red and black wrapper.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The truth about angels -- according to the Fathers of the ChurchFrom St. Augustine to John Henry Newman, the greatest among the saints and men of God have lived on familiar terms with the angels; and the Church has always accorded them a very large place in her theology.Recent theologians have dwelt on dry questions about the nature of the angels, but the early Fathers of the Church, with the memory of Jesus fresh in their minds (and of the angels of whom He spoke often) were fascinated with the energetic action of the angels among men and the ways in which the angels have carried out that mission from the instant of Creation through the time of Jesus; and how they will continue their work even unto the end of time.From the works of these early Fathers of the Church, the late French Cardinal Jean Daniélou has drawn forth threads of knowledge and wisdom which he has here woven into a lucid and bright tapestry that shows us who the ministering angels really are, and how--in every instant and in every way--they are working for your salvation and mine.Here you'll find no sentimental cherubs: the Fathers knew that majesty and power cloak actual angels, which is why God gave them the formidable tasks of shepherding not only souls, but entire nations, and the motions of the entire material universe itself.Open these pages to meet the glorious angels as they were known by the Church's greatest saints and theologians: Origen and Eusebius, and Sts. Basil, Ambrose, Methodius, Gregory of Nyssa, Clement of Alexandria, and John Chrysostom (among others).Soon you, too, will find yourself on familiar terms with the angels, and they'll begin to play in your life the larger role that God intends them to play.…

Sait-on que la Croix est apparue à l'origine non comme une allusion à la Passion du Christ, mais comme une désignation de sa Gloire divine ? Ou encore que les douze Apôtres ont été assimilés au symbolisme du zodiaque ? Ces symboles ont eu une considérable importance théologique et spirituelle dans les premières communautés chrétiennes, encore très liées à des milieux juifs. Spécialiste de ce « judéo-christianisme primitif », le père Jean Daniélou explicite ici l'origine, le contexte culturel, le sens spirituel de ces images et de ces signes légués par le christianisme antique, qui sont aussi des images et des signes religieux universels.- L'ésotérisme de quelques symboles chrétiens: la triple enceinte dans l'emblématique chrétienne - les graffites symboliques de l'ancien monastère des Carmes, à Loudun - le trident - à propos des graffites inconnus de la chapelle du Martray à Loudun; Livres. …
