By the time of his death in 1933 Henri Bremond, priest and member of the elite Académie française, had established himself in France, and increasingly in England and the United States, as a distinguished historian of Christian spirituality and as a Catholic modernist who helped to shake the church out of its dogmatic slumbers by embracing "pure love," artistic-poetic expression, and mystical prayer as the privileged manifestations of spiritual truth. Drawing on substantial new scholarship in France, that has resuscitated and reinterpreted Bremond's work for our own times, and that sees Bremond as an important precursor of current trends in literary interpretation as well as spirituality, Gorday surveys the entirety of Bremond's corpus of writing, setting his work in its context of his personal struggles, as well as the wider setting of French historical and cultural development.

This book is a collection of poems which I have been inspired to write since I have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. Each poem is of inspirational content. Many people among my Prayer Group have been touched deeply by these words. They have been called "beautiful' And they have been called "moving", life-changing and so on. That is why I feel compelled to have them published as I have been encouraged to do. I feel that the Lord wants more people to have access to these poems.

A testament of living love, poetry comes from deep within one's soul. It shines through the use of words, in expressions brought about by many dimensions of existence. Enhance your relationship with beautiful love poems. Poetry soothes your soul, allowing its imagination to take hold and transport you to different thoughts of understanding. There are various types of poems, a little for everyone. Poetry is being discovered as fun and exciting with new thoughts of expression. Why not read a few each day and watch your imagination take flight? Texting is our new way of communication, and abbreviation is common. Take off from the common, everyday life and soar. Read something beautiful and inspiring, discover love, both in cute words or something more seductive. Definitely, poetry is a nice change of pace from e-mails and text messages. So sit back, read, and enjoy the English language as it was meant to be spoken--poetically.

This book is a faith filled book of love poems about Gods' love. It will usher you into the presence of God and you will experience the love of God like never before. Bible scriptures are included, to help guide you into that glorious experience.

This is the first book-length study to examine the interface between literary and theological modernisms. It provides a comprehensive account of literary responses to the modernist crisis in Christian theology from a transnational and interdenominational perspective. It offers a cultural history of the period, considering a wide range of literary and historical sources, including novels, drama, poetry, literary criticism, encyclicals, theological and philosophical treatises, periodical publications, and wartime propaganda. By contextualising literary modernism within the cultural, religious, and political landscape, the book reveals fundamental yet largely forgotten connections between literary and theological modernisms. It shows that early-twentieth-century authors, poets, and critics, including Rainer Maria Rilke, T. S. Eliot, and Czesław Miłosz, actively engaged with the debates between modernist and neo-scholastic theologians raging across Europe. These debates contributed to developing new ways of thinking about the relationship between religion and literature, and informed contemporary critical writings on aesthetics and poetics.
