Book Description
In this wide-ranging book, Rowan Williams argues that what we say about Jesus Christ is key to understanding what Christian belief says about creator and creation overall. Through detailed discussion of texts from the earliest centuries to the present day, we are shown some of the various and subtle ways in which Christians have discovered in their reflections on Christ the possibility of a deeply affirmative approach to creation, and a set of radical insights in ethics and politics as well. Throughout his life, Rowan Williams has been deeply influenced by thinkers of the Eastern Christian tradition as well as Catholic and Anglican writers. This book draws on insights from Eastern Christianity, from the Western Middle Ages and from Reformed thinkers, from Calvin to Bonhoeffer – as well as considering theological insights sparked by philosophers like Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein. Christ the Heart of Creation concerns fundamental issues for Christian belief and Williams tackles them head-on: he writes with pellucid clarity and shows his gift for putting across what are inevitably complex ideas to a wide audience.

Book Description
The standard take on Creation is that it displays God's power for all to see through what has been created. But there is more to the Creation account than meets the eye. Not only did God reveal himself through what was created but also in how he created it. Have you ever wondered why it took God so long to create the heavens and the earth? He could have done it in the blink of an eye. But he chose six days. Why? The answer is found in his intentional process, as it played out over six days of creation and a day of rest. When we look with new eyes we will see a message from God that meets the human heart. We'll see how his process displays abounding provision and love for us and foreshadows his plans for a relationship with us.

Book Description
This accessible, state-of-the-art review of Mayan hieroglyphics and cosmology also serves as a tribute to one of the field's most noted pioneers. The core of this book focuses on the current study of Mayan hieroglyphics as inspired by the recently deceased Mayanist Linda Schele. As author or coauthor of more than 200 books or articles on the Maya, Schele served as the chief disseminator of knowledge to the general public about this ancient Mesoamerican culture, similar to the way in which Margaret Mead introduced anthropology and the people of Borneo to the English-speaking world. Twenty-five contributors offer scholarly writings on subjects ranging from the ritual function of public space at the Olmec site and the gardens of the Great Goddess at Teotihuacan to the understanding of Jupiter in Maya astronomy and the meaning of the water throne of Quirigua Zoomorph P. The workshops on Maya history and writing that Schele conducted in Guatemala and Mexico for the highland people, modern descendants of the Mayan civilization, are thoroughly addressed as is the phenomenon termed "Maya mania"—the explosive growth of interest in Maya epigraphy, iconography, astronomy, and cosmology that Schele stimulated. An appendix provides a bibliography of Schele's publications and a collection of Scheleana, written memories of "the Rabbit Woman" by some of her colleagues and students. Of interest to professionals as well as generalists, this collection will stand as a marker of the state of Mayan studies at the turn of the 21st century and as a tribute to the remarkable personality who guided a large part of that archaeological research for more than two decades.

Book Description
23 Reflections and 26 Pieces of Verse, etc. (COVER REMARKS) by Thomas Berry, to whom book is dedicated, author of THE DREAM OF THE EARTH, cultural historian and geologian: "As we awaken, in this new millennium, to a dynamic, hitherto scarcely dreamed of future in every phase of life, John Cock's latest book sounds a clarion call for our participation in the great enterprise of enhancing communion between the human and the other-than-human components of the sacred earth community." (MASTER IMAGE) A book about the spirit journey of communion with the power at the heart of creation that motivates us humans to be agents of intercommunion. (From the INTRODUCTION) Section one is about linking our understanding of creation and its interior power to our current human condition: the people of this planet are dispirited. Yet, we are on a spirit journey which is not about "me as a person" but is about "me in relation with all others," human and non-human. The truth we are missing is that spirit happens in the relation between the other and me, or spirit happens in the relations of creation. In this section we explore spirit's presence in everyday life and the dynamics of the spirit journey. In section two, . . . How do we begin to deal with the contradiction of our time, which is spirit disrelation? Answer: we become more aware of our experiences of communion with spirit. In section three . . . the focus is the mission of creation as mutual care or intercommunion . . . a way to talk about our resolve and action to comprehensively interrelate with and care for creation as it cares for us. . . . The change we envision will not come from the ought of sustainability, will not come from more democratic governments, more economic prosperity, or a better educated populace. It will come from a more conscious spirit journey of communion and intercommunion of a growing movement of people around the planet.
