Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - THE CHALDEAN CHURCH: A Complete History from the Apostle Thomas to the Modern DiasporaFor sixteen centuries, a prayer has been spoken in the same language in the land between the rivers-an unbroken chain of worship stretching from the apostolic age to today. This is the story of the Chaldean Catholic Church, one of Christianity's most ancient and least-known traditions.Beginning with the apostle Thomas on the eastern road and the missionary work of Addai and Mari, this history traces a church that organized itself in the Persian Empire, produced some of Christianity's greatest mystics, sent missionaries to China, and survived every catastrophe that empires could devise. It is a story of triumph and devastation, of a people scattered across the globe yet still praying the liturgy of Addai and Mari, still remembering the apostles, still refusing to vanish.From the Christological controversies of the early councils to the tangled sixteenth-century divisions that created the Chaldean communion with Rome; from the golden age of Baghdad to the catastrophe of the Seyfo in 1915; from the Iraqi century to the modern diaspora spreading from Detroit to Sydney-this book tells the full arc of a church that has outlasted empires.For readers new to the eastern Christian tradition and for those seeking to go deeper into their own heritage, this is a history written with scholarly rigor but accessible prose. It explores not only the events that shaped the church but the faith itself: the Holy Qurbana, the sacred year, the saints and martyrs, and the patient dialogue between the Chaldean Church and its sister communion, the Assyrian Church of the East.The Chaldean Church stands today at a crossroads between a beleaguered homeland and a thriving worldwide diaspora. This book tells how it got there, and why its survival matters. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - THE CEDAR THAT HAS NOT FALLEN In the high mountains of Lebanon, where the cedars have grown for three thousand years, there lives a Church that history has tried many times to erase. It has survived Roman emperors who declared its theology heretical. It has survived caliphs and sultans who demanded conversion or death. It has survived massacres so terrible that observers thought they had witnessed its final hour. It has endured civil war, famine, and the slow bleeding of its people through emigration across the globe. And yet it remains. This is the story of the Maronite Church-one of the ancient Catholic communities of the East, older than most Christian denominations in the world today. It is a story that begins with a fourth-century hermit named Maron praying under the open sky in Syria, and that continues through sixteen centuries of survival, exile, persecution, renewal, and witness. The Maronite Church preserved the Syriac Christian heritage when the Islamic conquest of the Levant cut it off from the broader Christian world. It sent ambassadors to Rome and formed communion with the Pope while maintaining its own ancient liturgy and traditions. It produced saints whose miracles and holiness continue to inspire Catholics around the world. It endured the worst catastrophes of modern Middle Eastern history-the massacres of 1860, the famine of World War I, the Lebanese Civil War-and survived them all. Today, the Maronite Church is a global community with parishes on every continent. Yet it remains rooted in the mountains of Lebanon, in the ancient liturgy of the Qurbono, in the memory of Saint Maron and the saints who followed him, and in the conviction that God's grace is more powerful than any historical force that would destroy it. This book tells the complete story. For Maronite Catholics seeking to understand their heritage. For anyone curious about the ancient Christian traditions of the East. For those who want to know how a small mountain Church became a global Catholic communion. For believers looking for proof that faith can survive anything history throws at it.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. THE LARGEST EASTERN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA - AND THEANCIENT FAITH MOST AMERICAN CATHOLICS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. In the suburbs of Detroit, in the cathedral of Baghdad, in thehalf-restored churches of the Nineveh Plain, and in the silentruins of medieval monasteries scattered from Anatolia to China, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world is stillcelebrating the same Eucharistic prayer it has prayed since thefourth century. This is the Chaldean Catholic Church - thelargest Eastern Catholic Church in the United States, withroughly 224,000 American faithful, and the institutionalinheritor of an apostolic tradition that traces itself backto the Apostle Thomas and his disciples Addai and Mari. For sixteen centuries this Church has lived through eventsthat would have destroyed almost any other Christian community: - The Great Persecution of Shapur II (4th century), whichkilled tens of thousands of Persian Christians- The missionary expansion that reached China in 635 AD andleft an inscribed Christian stele standing in Xi'an- A Mongol golden age where Christian princesses ruledalongside Genghis Khan's descendants- The catastrophic destruction by Timur (Tamerlane) thatreduced a continent-spanning Church to a mountain remnant- Four centuries of survival in the Hakkari mountains- The first union with Rome in 1552 under Yohannan Sulaqa- The genocide of 1915 (the Sayfo), the Simele Massacreof 1933, and the ISIS occupation of the Nineveh Plainin 2014- Pope Francis's historic 2021 visit to Iraq This book - the first comprehensive single-volume English-language history of the Chaldean Catholic Church written forgeneral readers - tells that entire story. It traces the pathfrom the first apostolic missions in Mesopotamia, through thecontroversies surrounding Nestorius and the formation of theChurch of the East, through the medieval golden age ofexpansion across Asia, through the long centuries of declineand mountain refuge, through the complicated three-centurypath to union with Rome, through the modern genocides andpersecutions, to the contemporary Chaldean Catholic Churchin Detroit, San Diego, Sydney, Stockholm, and Baghdad. It addresses what most readers don't know: - Why the Anaphora of Addai and Mari is one of the oldestEucharistic prayers in continuous Christian use- How the Nestorian controversy of the fifth century wasbased largely on misunderstanding, and how the 1994 CommonChristological Declaration between Pope John Paul II andthe Assyrian Patriarch finally clarified it- Why Christian missionaries from Mesopotamia reachedBeijing in 635 AD, eight hundred years before Marco Polo- How the Chaldean community in metropolitan Detroit becameone of the most institutionally successful immigrantreligious communities in modern American history- What survives of the ancient Christian heartland in Iraqafter the ISIS catastrophe - and what the future holdsfor a Church that has now become primarily a diasporaChurch Written for Catholics who want to understand the universalChurch beyond its Western expressions, for Chaldean faithfulwho want to know their own story, for anyone moved by theplight of Middle Eastern Christians, and for students ofChristian history who want to learn about a tradition thathas been overlooked by mainstream Western scholarship.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Two canonized saints. One priest beatified in 2026. A teenage martyr whose cause has waited forty years for an answer. And three forgotten men without whom the Melkite Greek Catholic Church would not exist at all.This book tells all seven stories, researched from primary Church documents, Vatican decrees, and archival sources rather than repackaged devotional legend - with every claim marked clearly as either verified fact or pious tradition, so you always know which is which.Inside, you'll meet: - St. Mariam Baouardy, the illiterate Galilean mystic who survived having her throat cut, bore the stigmata, and founded a Carmel in Bethlehem- St. Marie Alphonsine Ghattas, who hid apparitions of the Virgin Mary for fifty-three years before founding Palestine's first indigenous religious order- Blessed Béchara Abou Mrad, the Lebanese 'Curé d'Ars,' beatified in 2026 after a Vatican-authenticated miracle- Fathi Baladi, a Beiruti teenager killed during Lebanon's civil war, found with his arms folded in the shape of a cross- Euthymios Saifi, Neophytos Nasri, and Abdallah Zakher - the bishops and lay deacon whose institution-building, rivalries, and printing press made the Melkite Catholic Church a reality in the first placeEach chapter traces not just what these figures did, but what can actually be documented about them: their surviving writings (or the honest absence of any), their real relationships to other saints, where their relics rest today, and where their causes for canonization genuinely stand right now - not where popular devotion assumes them to be.Whether you're Melkite, Eastern Catholic, Maronite, or simply drawn to the overlooked corners of Church history, this is a rigorously sourced, honestly written account of the people who built one of the smallest and least-documented branches of the Catholic Church - and the two who became, and one who is soon to become, its saints.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - When the doctor says the word, the world shifts on a hidden axis. Cancer. Everything before, and everything after. In this gentle, substantive companion, A Servant of God brings to the cancer patient, and to the family members and friends who walk beside them, one of the great saints of the Christian tradition: Saint Peregrine Laziosi of the Servite Order, patron of those afflicted with cancer. Saint Peregrine himself faced the surgeon's blade with a frightened heart. The night before his scheduled amputation, he dragged himself to the chapel crucifix and prayed through the long hours. By morning, the cancer that had consumed his foot was gone. But this is not a book that promises cure. The Christian tradition has never promised cure. What it promises is companionship through the long night of diagnosis, through the brutal weeks of treatment, through the question of why, through the silence when prayer becomes impossible, and through, if it should come to it, the holy passage of death. Across eleven chapters and four appendices, this book offers: - The complete life and miracle of Saint Peregrine, told as a real story of a real man who knew real fear - An honest, substantive theology of why a good God allows suffering, without easy answers or pious clichés - A practical daily rule of prayer for the seriously ill, adapted for the limits of a body in treatment - Wisdom for the nights when prayer becomes impossible, drawn from the dark-night experiences of the saints themselves - Guidance on the sacraments and rites the Church has given her sick children, for Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants - A dedicated chapter for caregivers: the spouses, parents, adult children, and friends whose work of love is itself sacred - An honest treatment of healing and holy death as both real outcomes of the Christian journey through illness The book closes with four substantial appendices: a complete nine-day novena to Saint Peregrine; daily prayers for the cancer patient, including prayers for morning, midday, evening, before treatment, in fear, in pain, and in sleepless nights; brief lives of fifteen other saints who walked this path, including Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Saint John Paul II, Saint Padre Pio, Saint Nektarios of Aegina, Saint Luke the Surgeon, and Saint Charbel; and a topical Scripture index for the sick. Whether you have just heard the word from your doctor, are months into a long course of treatment, are walking beside someone you love, or are preparing for the final passage, this book is for you. The saint walks with you. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - There is a moment in every liturgy when the priest disappears behind the iconostasis and the congregation is left in silence. The candles flicker. The incense rises. And for a few seconds, before the mind fills the space with distraction, something opens. A presence. A weight. A warmth that has nothing to do with the temperature of the room.Most people feel it and move on. But for some-and if this book has found its way into your hands, you may be one of them-that moment lingers. It lingers because it felt more real than anything else that happened that day. And the question it leaves behind is simple: What was that And can it happen again This book is a practical guide for the layperson who wants to enter the deep mystical tradition of Eastern Christianity-the tradition of the Desert Fathers, the hesychast saints of Mount Athos, the Russian elders, the modern startsi like Saints Silouan, Paisios, and Porphyrios. It is written not for monks, not for academics, but for ordinary people with jobs, families, and limited time who long to know God directly.Across 27 chapters in 5 parts, it covers the foundation of what mysticism actually is and isn't, the goal of theosis, the three pillars of Eastern spirituality, and why this tradition belongs to laypeople too. It walks through the practices-the Jesus Prayer with its history and how to learn it and weave it into daily life, lectio divina, contemplative silence, fasting, the Eucharist as mystical encounter, confession as transformation, and icons and the contemplative gaze. It addresses life applications: mysticism in solitude, marriage, work, parenthood, and suffering. It explores the theology-the apophatic and kataphatic ways, theosis explained, the Holy Spirit and grace, and the Church Fathers on contemplation. And it faces the obstacles head-on: spiritual pride, dryness and the dark night, finding a spiritual guide, and persevering over decades.Three substantial appendices follow: selected prayers from the tradition including the Jesus Prayer, Trisagion, Ephrem the Syrian, pre-Communion prayers, and evening prayers; a complete 30-day introduction to the practices that turns the book into something you can actually do; and a survey of saints organized by which practice they exemplified.This is the book for the convert who has been Orthodox for a year and wants to go deeper. For the Catholic discovering the East. For the Protestant exploring contemplative prayer. For anyone who has read Way of a Pilgrim or the Philokalia and wondered how to actually live this way in 2026.The practices in this book have been tested by two thousand years of lived experience. They work. Not because they are magical, but because they dispose the human heart to receive what God is always offering: Himself.Begin today.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The most complete history of the Antiochian Orthodox Church ever assembled in a single volume - from the Apostle Peter to the present-day Patriarch.When believers in first-century Antioch were called 'Christians' for the first time, no one could have imagined the church born there would survive Roman persecution, a permanent theological schism, seven centuries under successive Islamic caliphates, two centuries of Crusader rule, four centuries under the Ottomans, a massacre that claimed one of its own priests as a martyr, and a modern civil war that has scattered its homeland faithful across the globe.This book tells that entire story - honestly, comprehensively, and without either triumphalism or despair.Inside, you'll find: - The complete narrative history of the Antiochian Orthodox Church across nineteen centuries - Ignatius of Antioch, the Council of Chalcedon, the rise of the Ottoman 'Greek captivity,' the Arab Orthodox awakening of 1899, and the modern patriarchate of John X Yazigi- A full patriarchal registry tracing every successor from Saint Peter to today, officially numbered and carefully sourced- The saints and martyrs of the Antiochene tradition, from Ignatius and John Chrysostom to the recently glorified martyrs of the twentieth century- The sister churches that share this inheritance - the Maronite, Melkite Greek Catholic, Syriac Orthodox, and Syriac Catholic patriarchates - and the schisms that divided one ancient see into five living communions- A clear-eyed account of the modern Church: the Syrian civil war, the Qatar jurisdictional dispute, the global diaspora across the Americas, Europe, and Australia, and the patriarchate's ongoing life in a changing Middle East- Liturgy, theology, sacraments, monasticism, and the distinctive Antiochian character within world OrthodoxyMeticulously researched and extensively fact-checked against primary and scholarly sources, this is a reference work for serious readers - Orthodox Christians seeking to understand their own patriarchate, students of church history, and anyone drawn to one of the oldest continuously functioning institutions in the world.Antioch gave Christianity its first name. Nineteen centuries later, this book shows how that name is still being lived out.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The definitive history of a Catholic Church most American readers have never heard of - and the astonishing story of how it survived.The Ruthenian Catholic Church is one of the oldest Eastern Catholic Churches in the world, and one of the least known. Rooted in the Byzantine Rite and centered on the Eparchy of Mukachevo in the Carpathian Mountains, this is the Church of the Carpatho-Rusyn people - a married priesthood, an ancient chant tradition, and a five-century fight simply to be allowed to exist.This is the first complete, single-volume history ever written of that fight.Inside, you'll find: A martyred bishop. Theodore Romzha, poisoned by Soviet secret police in 1947 for refusing to surrender his Church to the state - one of two modern Ruthenian martyrs now beatified by Rome.A church driven underground for forty years. Told through the fully documented lives of eighteen priests and religious who were arrested, tortured, exiled to the Gulag, and in several cases murdered by the KGB using the same staged 'accident' used against their own bishop - for the simple crime of refusing to convert to state-controlled Orthodoxy.A church divided by Rome's own broken promises. The 1929 celibacy decree that split the American church in two, and the saint - canonized not by Rome but by another church entirely - whose story proves exactly what that decree cost.An immigrant story that shaped America. From coal-town Pennsylvania parishes to Andy Warhol's own childhood Byzantine Catholic parish in Pittsburgh, to the first Slavic-American Cabinet secretary baptized in its cathedral - the Carpatho-Rusyn story is quietly woven into American history far more than most readers realize.A church still being written. From Soviet liquidation in 1949 to legalization in 1989 to ministering through the war in Ukraine today, this history carries all the way to the present.Drawing on eparchial archives, Vatican documents, declassified Soviet-era records, and primary martyrology sources never before assembled into a single English-language history, The Ruthenian Catholic Church: The Complete History traces this Church from its ninth-century Byzantine-Slavic roots through the 1646 Union of Uzhhorod, the Habsburg era, the Holocaust in Carpathian Ruthenia, Soviet persecution, and its restoration and American growth into the twenty-first century.Complete with a full register of bishops and eparchies, a five-century timeline, a glossary, and excerpts from the Divine Liturgy itself, this is both a serious work of history and an act of memory - for a people who were told, more than once, that their Church no longer existed, and who proved, every time, that it still did.A Church that would not break. A history that had never been fully told - until now.…
