A cri de coeur to the teaching church to "think again" from one of the most innovative and influential theologian of the twentieth century. Sebastian Moore describes The Contagion of Jesus as "passionate rather than rigorous theology," based on a loving God, and saving Christ, and a church of friendship and discipleship. Compiled and edited by Stephen McCarthy and published to coincide with the author's 90th birthday, it will introduce a new generation to the work of a spiritual master.-from back cover.

This book analyses the discourses of Orthodox Christianity in Western Europe to demonstrate the emerging discrepancies between the mother Church in the East and its newer Western congregations. Showing the genesis and development of these discourses over the twentieth century, it examines the challenges the Orthodox Church is facing in the modern world. Organised along four different discursive fields, the book uses these fields to analyse the Orthodox Church in Western Europe during the twentieth century. It explores pastoral, ecclesiological, institutional and ecumenical discourses in order to present a holistic view of how the Church views itself and how it seeks to interact with other denominations. Taken together, these four fields reveal a discursive vitality outside of the traditionally Orthodox societies that is, however, only partly reabsorbed by the church hierarchs in core Orthodox regions, like Southeast Europe and Russia. The Orthodox Church is a complex and multi-faceted global reality.Therefore, this book will be a vital guide to scholars studying the Orthodox Church, ecumenism and religion in Europe, as well as those working in religious studies, sociology of religion, and theology more generally.

An insightful, passionate, and honest exploration of the religious life, a life lived entirely through the filter of the Gospel.

THE GOD-HUMAN LEVEL HYPOTHESIS, an illuminating book by IYERE Sebastian, attempts to share a simple and uncomplicated understanding of the Bible and life in general, using a simple model. The book presents the human being living simultaneously in two worlds (seen and unseen), with consciousness trapped in this seen world. It explains that there is something out there that controls us all from the unseen world. It submits that the five-dimensional human nature (HEART being thread-like (Ecc.12:6) connecting the SPIRIT and the SOUL; SOUL attached to the FLESH with another thread-like MIGHT) is disconnected and disjointed. Whereas a full understanding will be gained at the end of time or after death (when consciousness is liberated), there is a need today to consider reconnecting to God and recombining the five-dimensions. The connector or plug is Jesus Christ. This literary piece reinforces the authenticity and infallibility of Gods word. A coalescence of science, geography and history. While poignantly projecting the Sovereignty of God, the book depicts as sheer insanity, any attempt for anyone to think he/she is in control of anything in this world. The book touches every aspect of life (physical, spiritual, psychological, emotional, and so forth) in a microscopic dimension.

Analogia is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the scholarly exposition and discussion of the theological principles of the Christian faith. A distinguishing feature of this journal will be the effort to advance a dialogue between Orthodox Christianity and the views and concerns of Western modes of theological and philosophical thought. A key secondary objective is to provide a scholarly context for the further examination and study of common Christian sources. Though theological and philosophical topics of interest are the primary focus of the journal, the content of Analogia will not be restricted to material that originates exclusively from these disciplines. Insofar as the journal seeks to cultivate theological discourse and engagement with the urgent challenges and questions posed by modernity, topics from an array of disciplines will also be considered, including the natural and social sciences. As such, solicited and unsolicited submissions of high academic quality containing topics of either a theological or interdisciplinary nature will be encouraged. In an effort to facilitate dialogue, provision will be made for peer-reviewed critical responses to articles that deal with high-interest topics. Analogia strives to provide an interdisciplinary forum wherein Christian theology is further explored and assumes the role of an interlocutor with the multiplicity of difficulties facing modern humanity.
