This book brings together nineteen Christians from around the world to try to answer the question of how space affects us in worship. Some topics covered include the role of light in a religious building, the varying needs of spaces for different liturgies, and how the liturgical renewal begun in Vatican II should continue today.
What does it mean to be a eucharistic community? In Christ Now Meet Both East and West approaches the Eucharist from the perspective of Christianity being a religion of the table--a place where our thanksgiving happens by gathering as a people with Christ. Author Thomas O'Loughlin emphasizes that any renewal of ourselves as a eucharistic people involves discovering that we are then sent from that table to act, to be eucharistic in our communal activity. He explains that this task is not located in an awesome temple or an otherworldly place but in the heart of the everyday. Through this action of blessing, praising, thanking, and being eucharistic to our heavenly Father, we set about celebrating our faith eucharistically with the risen Jesus present among us.
Discipleship - that being a Christian is about learning anddiscovering, acting and responding, choosing and collaborating - is both a primordial Christian theme anda re-discovery of the mid-twentieth century. But how does one discover its meaning? For some it means programmes -like turning out a product, ignoring theindividuality of each's path. Others emphasize the group, forgetting that everycommunity's richness is valuing its members' diversity. Is discipleship the wayof the loner and community-ignoring? But social beings learn discipleship incommunities. Community is not simply the club of like-minded individuals butshould model a new way of being. To uncover what discipleship means, we must read the New Testamentwith the awareness that how we see the world of the early Jesus followers isradically different from the inherited theological underpinning of manychurches. Discipleship and Society in the Early Churches takes ourhistorical awareness seriously, and examines what biblical, historical, andarchaeological research can tell us about discipleship today.

Adomnan, ninth abbot of Iona, wrote his book, "On The Holy Places", in the closing years of the seventh century. This work shows how Adomnan's work can be used to study the nature of scriptural studies in the Latin world of the time, and perceptions of space, relics, pilgrimage, and Islam. It also exposes the theological world of the Carolingians.
This collection of fifteen articles, concentrating on the early Latin middle ages, explores the variety of medieval exegesis and highlights just how patchy has been our understanding of it.
