This book is an introduction to contemporary Christianity for serious seekers, young and old, who desire a better understanding of the unique character of the Christian tradition. It is a book that illuminates the deep bond that exists between the inner life of the soul, a contemplative lifestyle, and the traditional teachings or doctrines of Christianity. The spiritual hunger in the midst of modern materialism has prompted many seekers to turn Eastward to Zen, Transcendental Meditation and other Vedic practices. The rich inner experience that meditation practice provides can also be found by reclaiming the mystical and contemplative heritage of Christianity and by recognizing the contemplative aspects of life found in all great religions. Father Keating believes that Christianity and the religions. Father Keating believes that Christianity and the religions of the East can enrich each other and together can help heal the modern split between rational belief and spiritual experience.

First published twenty years ago, this revised edition of John Sanford's classic exploration of the psychological and spiritual significance of dreams draws on the work of C.G. Jung to show how dreams can help us find healing and wholeness and reconnect us to a living spiritual world.
Featuring a new preface by the author and using case histories from his own experience as a counselor, Dreams traces the role of dreams in the Bible, analyzing their nature and examining how Christians, through fear and the constraints of dogma, have come to reject the visions through which God speaks to humanity, making dreams -- in Sanford's words -- "God's forgotten language."

Swiss-German theologian Kung planned this massive synthesis of Christian history and systematic theology as a sequel to his On Being Christian (1976) and as a companion to Judaism (Crossroad, 1992). Ever the Catholic Church's "faithful critic," Kung displays a dazzling breadth of scholarship. Professor of ecumenical theology at the University of Tubingen, he bases his approach on five historical paradigm shifts: Jewish apocalyptic Christianity, early church ecumenism, the Roman system in the medieval papal church, the Reformation, and modern democracy. He notes dominant influences in each, presenting his convictions on the essence of Christianity and moving toward a polycentrism where Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical traditions are not mutually exclusive. Over 30 diagrams and many stimulating "questions for the future" sidebars are included. Not all readers will accept the views of this Vatican II peritus (nor did the Vatican in 1973). But the work is a remarkable achievement for a church always in need of reform and reformers. Recommended for all theology collections&gt;
