Cyprian, like Paul, is a pastoral theologian, so his pastoral concerns provide a helpful lens through which to study his use of the apostle.
It also provides a different perspective on Paul than the one arrived at by privileging a handful of texts. It also deepens our understanding of the early North African hermeneutical tradition and the early reception of Paul. Who is Jesus Christ? What does it mean to say that we are created in the image of God?
What does salvation mean? What is the meaning of baptism? What characterizes the Christian fellowship? What hope does a Christian faith give for the future? These are only a few of the questions that this textbook on dogmatics takes up. This book begins the discussion of the various topics by looking at what the Bible has to say. Hegstad then examines how the church's doctrine has developed over the course of history, and discusses how the Christian faith can best be formulated today.
This book understands the Christian faith as an answer to universal existential questions that challenge all religions and worldviews. Dogmatics is understood here as the expression of a Christian interpretation of life. Hegstad himself belongs to the Lutheran church tradition, but his perspective is consistently ecumenical.
This introduction to dogmatics will interest not only students, but everyone who is looking for a deeper insight into the Christian faith. The Mediterranean has been for millennia one of the global cockpits of human endeavor. World-class interpretations exist of its Classical and subsequent history, but there has been remarkably little holistic exploration of how its societies, culture and economies first came into being, despite the fact that almost all the fundamental developments originated well before BC.
This book is the first full, interpretive synthesis for a generation on the rise of the Mediterranean world from its beginning, before the emergence of our own species, up to the threshold of Classical times, by which time the "Middle Sea" was already in effect made. Thanks to unrivalled depth and breadth of exploration, Mediterranean archaeology is one of the world's richest sources for the reconstruction of ancient societies.
This book is the first to draw in equal measure on ideas and information from the European, western Asian and African flanks, as well as the islands at the Mediterranean's heart, to achieve a truly innovative focus on the varied trajectories and interactions that created this maritime world.
The Mediterranean combines unusual conditions in a strictly unique fashion that goes a long way towards explaining its precocious development: it is the world's largest inland sea, easily the largest of the five challenging, opportunity-rich "mediterraneoid" environments on the planet, and adjacent to the riverine cores of two of the earliest civilizations, in Mesopotamia and Egypt.
No wonder its societies proved exceptional. Extensively illustrated and ranging across disciplines, subject matter and chronology from early humans and the origins of farming and metallurgy to the rise of civilizations--Egyptian, Levantine, Hispanic, Minoan, Mycenaean, Phoenician, Etruscan, early Greek--the book is a masterpiece of archaeological and historical writing.

Sacred Art - A Hollow Bone for Spirit: Where Art Meets Shamanism tells the story of sacred art across cultures, continents and historical periods and makes a plea for sacred art to once again take its rightful place in our perception.
Making sacred art means stepping outside the realm of ego-led consciousness to become a hollow bone for spirit so art becomes a mystery school process. When we connect to Divine forces greater than ourselves, creative blocks do not exist and healing occurs naturally. The greatest piece of art we will ever make is our own life! The Book of St. There were two saints with the same name that are usually confused, who lived almost in the same centuries: Saint Cyprian of Carthage, a reputed father of the Church, and Saint Cyprian of Antioch, who lived between the IIIth and IVth century and was one of the most famous of the ancient magicians.

The Grimoire of Saint Cyprien. The book of Saint Cyprian refers to various grimoires from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, all pseudepigraphically attributed to the 3rd century St. Cyprian of Antioch. According to popular legend, Cyprian of Antioch, the pagan sorcerer who converted to Christianity.
The Iberian Cyprian is not a single text but a set of texts in Spanish and Portuguese, mostly from the 19th century. There was, however, now lost pre-modern Cyprianic literature with no apparent connection to any existing works inspired by the Cyprianic legend. Portuguese version of the book Cyprian often carries prefixes like "Great and true", only "full" or "genuine," and, as a rule, with the subtitle "the treasure of the Magi" OU thesouro de feiticeiro.
