Owen F. Cummings - Thinking about Prayer краткое содержание
Many people think of prayer and worship in terms that are too narrow. Sometimes they also entertain presuppositions about prayer and worship that need to be expanded and critiqued and challenged to make them more mature and informed. This book seeks to address these issues. It is an invitation to engage with prayer and worship in ways that enlarge our capacity to think about, address, and encounter God through liturgy and theology, the arts and poetry, as well as basic critical thinking.

It attends to the papacy during his lifetime, his companions and friends, some of his peers at Oxford University, the First Vatican Council...

The last decade or so has seen many books from what might be called «the new atheists.» One thinks, for example, of Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens. They have captured the interest of the general reading public and have sold well. Often, however, they have loaded the dice against Christian belief in a most unfair fashion. Arguments and issues have been summarily dismissed after the most cursory of treatments. Thinking God, written by a philosopher and a theologian, father and son,...
Many feel that work for Christian unity or ecumenism is not especially urgent or important in the complexities of our contemporary world.

However, Christians form the one Body of Christ. If that Body continues to...
