Is it the perspective of a particular church or denomination? Would it be a set of lectures on my own religious idiosyncrasies? Are we going to learn how to re-arrange the Bible into something more thematic and user-friendly? 8221; Is “ritual” another way of saying “dead formulae”? Students are welcome to mak...

Remember that you are dust, and to dust you will return. Pray for me, a sinner. Living ...

I read and meditate daily upon the Bible, usually in the context of the Daily Office, and often in a practice of Lectio. Jesus Christ himself is the mediator and full...
