 Wilderness of God
Andrew Louth
CBD Price: $22.50
( Available to ship on or about 06/21/13. )
The Wilderness of God brings to life the rich imagery of the desert that can be found in the Bible and the liturgy, in poetry and prose. In all its forms the wilderness emerges as a tradition that goes to the very limits of what is humanly possible, and there 'somewhere on the other side of despair' discerns 'the city that has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.'

 Early Christian Writings: The Apostolic Fathers
Maxwell Staniforth
Retail Price: $15.00
CBD Price: $9.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
The writings in this volume shed a glimmer of light, in an otherwise dark period, on the emerging traditions and organizations of the infant Church. They are a selection from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, so-called because several of the authors were most likely disciples of the Apostles themselves. Like much of the New Testament, their writings take the form of letters, and for the most part deal with practical problems of the life of the early Church, as it struggled in the face of persecution to establish itself in the Roman world. They give us a picture of Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism.

 Greek East and Latin West: The Church AD 681-1071
Andrew Louth
Retail Price: $28.00
CBD Price: $19.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
In the Greek East & Latin West Andrew Louth gives an account of the Church from the time of the Sixth Ecumenical Synod in 681 to the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. Although "Greek East" and "Latin West" are becoming distinct entities during this time period, the author discusses each entity alongside of the other, by observing the points at which their destinies coincide or conflict and noting developments within the whole of the Church rather than laboriously discussing the eventual East/West schism.
Covering events both unique to each region (Iconoclasts in the East and the Carolingian Empire in the West) and shared in common (monastic reform, renaissance, and mission) Louth skillfully portrays two Christian civilizations that share much in their similarities, yet are increasingly incomprehensible to the another. Despite curious synchronisms between East and West, the author demonstrates how two paths diverged from a once common route, and how eventually Byzantine Orthodoxy defined the Greek East over against the Latin West in theological, religious, cultural, and political terms.
