Thus, our religious myths are struggling to find new connections in a global, ecological order. Delio proposes the new myth of relational holism; that is, the search for a new connection to divinity in an age of quantum physics, evolution, and pluralism. The idea of relational holism is one that is rooted in the God-world relationship, beginning with the Book of Genesis, but finds its real meaning in quantum physics and the renewed relationship between mind and matter. Our story, therefore, will traverse across the fields of science, scripture, theology, history, culture and psychology. Our guides for a new myth of relational holism are the psychoanalyst Carl Jung, and the Jesuit scientist-theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. The complex human can no longer be simplified to one view or another: one must see the whole of our existence or one does not see at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIlia Delio, OSF,\u003c\/strong\u003e a Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC, is Josephine C.

Once they made it through the first six steps, they had in effect completed the Exercises’ First Week.” Similarly, working the 12 steps can be viewed as a Jungian Individuation process leading alcoholics in recovery toward a Spiritual life beyond their wildest dreams!

Jim Forest's Praying With Icons offers a simple introduction to the tradition of icons with special emphasis on their practical function in the spiritual life. Beautifully illustrated both with color plans and b\/w photography, Praying With Icons begins with a history of iconography. Icons are not simply illustrations or \"art\" in the usual sense, but aids to prayer and contemplation, windows on the divine. Forest also provides a personal and practical guide to how one prays with icons. Forest then concludes with a series of meditative reflections on some of the most typical icons, including the Annunciation, the Nativity, Christ's Baptism, the Transfiguration, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, representations of Mary, the trinity, and the Saints. Praying With Icons is a superlative introduction to icons and is highly recommended for readers seeking to expand their spiritual experience to encompass the entire Christian spiritual legacy. \"--\u003cstrong\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(19, 80, 147);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(19, 80, 147);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Untitled_design_7_c0264f4f-8417-4f8d-b74b-59064e7e113a.webp?v=1739389218\" width=\"251\" height=\"72\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"af7jvi-szn8c9-foqep6-jy5ve7\" data-cel-widget=\"dpx-detail-bullets_csm_instrumentation_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"ywlp18-mavmqc-rrlbos-bagdo\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; tab-stops: 45.6pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #302e33; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\"\u003e              \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\" class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eFrom its original publication in 1997 Praying with Icons has been hailed as a modern spiritual classic, both for readers familiar with the tradition of icons as well as those who are newcomers to this sacred art.

Gushee presents Job’s witness amid inexplicable suffering as pointing to the faithfulness of relentless, even confrontational questioning of God. Drawing on a wide range of voices and traditions, Gushee’s close reading of Job refuses both reductive theodicies and brittle certainties without yielding to despair, offering instead a compelling vision of faith that can sustain solidarity, truth-telling, and hope in a fractured and wounded world.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eRev Canon Prof Luke Bretherton, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, University of Oxford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(15, 41, 82);\"\u003e“David Gushee brings his customary blend of astute intelligence, spiritual sincerity, and ethical passion to this study of the book of Job, showing that whether or not the book is a midrash of Wisdom literature and the prophets, it is a gusher of spiritual daring that never runs out.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Dorrien, author, Over from Union Road: My Christian-Left-Intellectual Life\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(15, 41, 82);\"\u003e“Post-evangelicals will recognize the Job Gushee reveals: scorned by his faith community for an integrity that dares question dogma, Job discovers wisdom that can only be found in the ash heaps of comfortable religion.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebecca Bell, Lead Pastor of Threads Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(15, 41, 82);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003c\/b\u003eWith exegetical rigour and hard-won moral clarity, David Gushee unlocks the book of Job as a rich resource for anyone wrestling with oppressive, unjust, or abusive uses of faith and Scripture, whether in the academy or in lived experience.
