Paper Back. Etat : New. Classical antiquity and early Christianity, for all their obvious differences, shared a love of the word -- a fascination and capacity for language that is, as Aristotle puts it, ''more characteristic of humans than is use of the Body.'' Organizing and relating material from over thirty years of study, Jaroslav Pelikan creates a stunning synthesis of divine rhetoric as exemplified by the Sermon on the Mount and interpreted by three titans of the Christian tradition: St. John Chrysostom (Greek and Orthodox), St. Augustine (Latin and Catholic) and Martin Luther (Protestant). By first discussing the basis for a Christian rhetoric, firmly rooted in the three classical ''genera of rhetorics'' -- deliberative, judicial and demonstrative -- Pelikan prepares the field for study, showing each rhetorician's concern for Christ's authority, audience and message. He seamlessly weaves these individual commentaries into a fabric of Christian rhetoric, using Aristotle's three proofs as loom: ethos (the moral character of the speaker), pathos (a paticular frame of mind) and logos (the message of the speech itself). The result is not only the illumination of language as persuasion, but also its participation in the acts of worship and prayer.

Paper Back. Etat : New. How to introduce Paul Evdokimov? Associated with the ''Russian Religious Renaissance'' of the first half of the twentieth century, his compatriots includes Florensky, Sergius Bulgakov, Afanasiev, Berdyaev, St. Silouan, and St. Tikhon; and other pivotal figures such as Simone Weil, Camus, Heidegger, Sartre, Freud, Jung, Dostoevsky, Merton crossed the beautiful path of his expansive and searching mind. Steeped in the history of the Church, conversant with mystery and brilliantly honest, his thought has been termed ''liturgical existentialism'' without the angst. His own terminology is preferable as one drinks in these representative writings: ''A Christian community, if it truly is this, buries itself as a splinter in the body of the world'' (which often includes the Church herself). His words pierce, stir, heal and sing to us. Convinced of ''God's insistence on the impossible,'' driven by the ''instinct of Orthodoxy'' and the ''creative path of Tradition'' Evdokimov delves into the nature of the Church, her social responsibilities, the eruptive power of holiness, the ''absurd'' love of God, the charisms of women, eschatology and much more. His openness to seeing ''Christ in all things'' invites us to acknowledge: yes, here too Christ speaks!.
