Paperback. Etat : New. The experience of the pastoral leaders of the Early Church is wide and deep. In loving obedience to Christ's command to make disciples, they expand into geographical locations both urban and rural, across linguistic and social boundaries. Their views are refined by the fires of martyrdom, purified by asceticism, and perfected by the pressures that the care of souls lays upon them. Their preaching, teaching, and witness is hard won by these experiences. To fail to engage with them impoverishes the Christian imagination that aims to answer the "how" and "why" of pastoral care. The Pastoral Theology of the Early Church proposes a selection of these early guides in pastoral theology for Christian leaders, both present and future. The selection of Greek, Latin, and Syriac authors from the first millennium treats themes as broad as Christian Initiation, the Church's relationship to public officials, and the care owed to the families of infants who have died. The Pastoral Theology of the Early Church will aid students preparing for ministry and as well as seasoned pastors and pastoral ministers by offering a close look at the early Church's perennial wisdom in action across differing pastoral contexts. Scholars and interested readers of the early Church will benefit from the surprising, varied situations and themes these leaders tackled head on for the sake of the Gospel.…

Hardback. Etat : New. The Second Vatican Council urged Eastern Catholics to cultivate their share of divine revelation for the benefit of the entire Catholic Church. Yet, more than 50 years later, the Eastern Catholic Churches frequently remain on the margins, both in the theological academy and in the life of the Church more broadly. In an effort to remedy this situation, at least in part, this volume offers a scholarly reflection on the unique patrimony of the Eastern Catholic Churches, divided according to the categories of Liturgy, Theology, Spirituality, Discipline, and Culture. In so doing, it both follows the categories used to define a Church sui iuris in the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches, and builds on the legacy of the Rev. Peter Galadza, to whom the volume is dedicated.On one hand, the volume and its essays are intentionally introductory, revealing the worlds of Eastern Catholicism and the variety of theological approaches that take place there. At the same time, however, several of the essays in this volume relate the history and current reality of Eastern Catholicism to the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches, yet without ignoring how frequently Eastern Catholics live, worship, and theologize without self-conscious regard for their unique ecclesial situation. Indeed, these authors show, Eastern Catholic theology can be unself-consciously grounded in the patristic tradition, and Eastern Catholics can simply "do" theology, without worrying about ecclesial politics. Readers will thus find here the best of both worlds: both an introduction to the unique and frequently ignored patrimony of the Eastern Catholic Churches, and a series of essays that avoids the all-to-common pitfall of reducing these traditions to a parody of other Churches, Eastern or Western. Instead, by engaging with the sources of the Christian tradition - as Eastern Catholics, yes, but first and foremost as Christians - the authors reveal how much their tradition can offer the Catholic Church as a whole.…
