Ghosts goblins and ghouls: a monk\u27s reflection
No full textThe Addam\u27s Family celebrated it in style. Baby-boomers and Gen-Xers have never abandoned it, and their children are glad they didn\u27t. Halloween is a festival having an influence from both Christian and non-Christian sources. Common to all of them are questions addressing life, death, good, and evil. By concentrating on ghosts, the discussion will deal with spooks and goblins in light of the Christian emphasis on the resurrection of the dead. All are welcome to attend

The Death of Jesus: The Diabolical Force and the Ministering Angel: Luke 23, 44-49
No full textBeginning with Peter\u27s Pentecost oration, the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ become the object of preaching throughout the remainder of Acts. The Lucan corpus has two volumes, the Gospel and the Acts. Thus, the possibility for detecting the literary strains which went into the Christian kerygma is greater in the third gospel than in Matthew, Mark , or John. It has been demonstrated that the kerygma was transmitted orally before its achieving canonical, written form. The salvific strains contained in the kerygma, and how and why they were redacted into a final Lucan version of the death of Jesus constitute the major examination of this study.

Word and Image: The Hermeneutics and Application of the Saint John\u27s Bible
No full textIn Word and Image, Michael Patella explores the principles, intentions, and aims of The Saint John\u27s Bible - the first handwritten and hand-illuminated Bible commissioned by a Benedictine abbey since the invention of the printing press. Patella focuses not on how it was made but on how it can be read, viewed, and interpreted in a way that respects biblical inspiration and Christian tradition in our postmodern context. It is a book that is sure to appeal to academics, pastors, teachers, and educated laypersons.
Patella considers this Bible in the context of the great Christian tradition of illuminated Bibles across the ages and also the fascinating ways The Saint John\u27s Bible reflects third-millennium concerns. He seeks to rekindle interest in sacred art by allowing The Saint John\u27s Bible to teach its readers and viewers how to work with text and image. As an accomplished Scripture scholar, a highly regarded teacher, a monk of Saint John\u27s Abbey, and the chair of the Committee on Illumination and Text that provided the Vision to the artists who created it, Patella may be the only one who could write this book with such insight, expertise, and love.https://digitalcommons.csbsju.edu/saint_johns_abbey_books/1121/thumbnail.jp
A scriptural view of evolution (and NO I don\u27t mean Creationism)
No full textBiblical fundamentalism fears Darwin’s theory of evolution as everything antithetical to faith, religion, and morality. On the other hand, the Catholic and mainline Protestant churches have been more welcoming to Darwin’s research. In my presentation, I would like to delve into Sacred Scripture to explore a theological view of evolution which actually complements Darwin’s teaching
