Alexander Schmemann Bücher
13. September 1921 – 13. Dezember 1983
Alexander Schmemann war ein bedeutender ostorthodoxer Theologe und Priester der Orthodoxen Kirche in Amerika. Seine Schriften erforschten hauptsächlich die Tiefen der Liturgie, des spirituellen Lebens und der Theologie, die der christlichen Erfahrung zugrunde liegt.
Wenn Alexander Schmemann über den absoluten Wert des Menschen im Zeitalter der Ideologien, über das Geheimnis des Bösen, über das Gewissen als die vielleicht wichtigste Frage unserer Zeit oder über unser Verhältnis zum Tod spricht, hören wir einen sensiblen Beobachter und geistlichen Ausleger der Strömungen im 20. Jahrhundert. Unermüdlich sucht er in der Heiligen Schrift und im christlichen Glauben Antworten auf die schwierigen und unbequemen Fragen, die sich der heutige Mensch stellen muss.
In For the Life of the World Alexander Schmemann suggests an approach to the world and life within it, which stems from the liturgical experience of the Orthodox Church. He understands issues such as secularism and Christian culture from the perspective of the unbroken experience of the Church, as revealed and communicated in her worship, in her liturgy the sacrament of the world, the sacrament of the Kingdom. Of what life do we speak, what life do we preach, proclaim, and announce when, as Christians, we confess that Christ died for the life of the world? In For the Life of the World Alexander Schmemann suggests an approach to the world and life within it, which stems from the liturgical experience of the Orthodox Church. He understands issues such as secularism and Christian culture from the perspective of the unbroken experience of the Church, as revealed and communicated in her worship, in her liturgy the sacrament of the world, the sacrament of the Kingdom. For over half a century For the Life of the World has challenged, illumined, and inspired readers from many backgrounds. For some it is an introduction to the Orthodox Church, while for others it is a call to plunge more deeply into the life of the Kingdom, both manifested and anticipated here and now in the liturgy of the Church. This updated edition of Schmemann s classic text includes a new foreword by Dr Edith M. Humphrey, along with new explanatory notes and an index. -- ‡c From publisher's description
