Abstract

Gildas is the earliest insular writer who has left us a substantial legacy of theological writing. He is usually, however, not seen as a theological writer but as an historical source for 'dark age' Britain at the time of the Germanic invasions in the mid-sixth century. Yet the deacon Gildas saw himself as a prophet charged by God to call the rulers and clergy of his society back to being a chosen people of the covenant. The form this call took was that of an indictment of those groups based on the testimonia of the Christian scriptures. This book is a study both of Gildas's use of the scriptures (his text, his canon, his exegetical strategies) and of how, from the way he interprets sacred history, he created a distinctive theology of the church and of salvation.

Abstract

We all want to celebrate the liturgy well, to experience good, uplifting, and meaningful worship. But what is the best route to follow? In The Rites and Wrongs of Liturgy, Thomas O'Loughlin offers a way forward that strengthens faith, builds up Christian community, and points toward a new direction based on liturgical principles that are rooted in our natures as ritual beings as well as in the gospel. The Rites and Wrongs of Liturgy explains why good liturgy is important, how to recognize it, and how to assess liturgy in terms of a larger vision of the Christian life. O'Loughlin, a seasoned theologian and teacher, identifies ten principles that make for good liturgy. Such liturgy must be honest, open, joyful, inclusive, celebrative of community, facilitative of engagement, based in creation, attentive to the marginalized, free of clutter, and true to the pattern of the incarnation. Since good celebrations build faith and bad liturgy weakens it, these principles promise to bring new life and meaning to every celebrating community

Abstract

"Adomnan, ninth abbot of Iona, wrote On the Holy Places in the closing years of the seventh century CE. It provides a detailed account of the sites mentioned in the Christian scriptures, and the overall topography and shrines of Palestine and Egypt at the time. The work is an attempt to compile a biblical studies manual according to the demands of Augustine, one of which was a demand for empirical witness. He thereby produced the desired manual, which remained in use until the Reformation." "In this study Thomas O'Loughlin shows how Adomnan's work can be used to study the nature of scriptural studies in the Latin work of the time, shedding light on perceptions of space, relics, pilgrimage, and Islam. While a study of how the work was used, transmitted and reworked by other figures, such as the Venerable Bede, brings unique insights into the theological world of the time including the dynasty of the Carolingians."--Jacket.
