Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
I'm finding it even better than when I first read it back in my teens. Now that I've had more experience in life and relationships than I did back then, it resonates more deeply.

Don't really know where else to put this question: I'm currently re-reading St Athanasius On The Incarnation (St Vladimir's Seminary Press, 1996) and am puzzled. The Introduction says Athanasius was educated in Greek and wrote the book in Greek, but it is called "De Incarnatione Verbi Dei" which is Latin, and the appendix is Epistola ad Marcellinum (i.e. Athanasius on the Psalms). Why are the titles in Latin?

^^ Because everything sounds better in Latin?  Maybe it was one of those works that was written in Greek, translated to Arabic, then Arabic to Latin. Then from that Latin translation we have our modern translations and it has remained tradition to call it such? |

My latest book is called Mobbing: Emotional Abuse in the American Workplace by Noa Zanolli Davenport, Ph.D.
Mobbing is ganging up by co-workers, subordinates or superiors in order to force someone out of the "workplace" through rumor, intimidation, humiliation, discrediting and isolation.
Oh soooorry. This isn’t the “What are You Reading?” thread. Or is it?

David, It has been traditional to relate works written in Greek by their translation into Latin. As a classicist, I have several editions of works by Greeks where the titles are given in Latin. It's just one of those things that really we've never gotten away from. As for me, I just finished reading Glenn Beck's Arguing with Idiots. Very entertaining, in any number of ways. |

Preface to Metaphysics
-Jaques Maritain
Do you think that Maritain was a modernist whose views made Vatican II possible? My Thomists of choice have always been Josef Pieper and Norris Clarke. As for Maritain, I don't know much about his views outside of the realm of Thomistic philosophy and Metaphysics. In those areas I think he is a superb philosopher as his emphasis on existential Thomism helps to solve some of the problems in metaphysics not addressed by previous Thomists. So is he a modernist? Most certainly not in the way Pius X defined modernism. But I will have to look more into his views on the Church and government to be able to properly answer that question. |

Alveus, You remember! Almost everyone is chipping in, and we had at least one month of not losing money, but our Priest is going to take up part-time secular employment and take a large pay cut. It will not do for long term, and we will unfortunately have less services in the mean time, but it will keep us afloat. I believe we will pull through though. Thanks everyone for your prayers! |

An Agnostic's Apology: And Other Essays by Leslie Stephen. I just got done reading the first essay tonight, An Agnostic's Apology. That's probably the fourth or fifth time I've read it. Parts of it are somewhat bland, parts of it are poorly argued, but some parts really shine. And the last few paragraphs sum up quite well how I often feel. I've never read the rest of the essays in this volume, and I'm looking forward to getting to them.

This is simply the spirit of the anti-christ seeping into peoples souls, for St John of the Ladder says 'let us beware lest we sicken in heart by the disease of the athiest origen' then he says that it is a heresy readily accepted by lovers of pleasure so they can wallow in the filth of sensuallity. In his chapter on joy-making mourning or it might be on pain-staking repentance I don't have it in my hand right now so im not sure. 'let us beware lest we sicken in heart by the disease of the athiest origen' Wise words for all the poison that is being spewed out by the spirit of the anti-christ. So the book I have has a kind of seal, or stamp of poison, that makes it onimous. I even bought it at a orthodox merchant right here: http://www.orthodoxpress.org/It would be a highly, highly, recommended book for orthodox Christians but the poison it has in is sooo destructive it should not be trusted to keep them in possesion for long, I bought 4 of those commentaries and they all are stamped with this seal, this seal of evil, this stamp of heresy, It is unnacceptable! This how they are selling them to us, just like feeding babies candy with poison in it; http://www.orthodoxpress.org/catalog/comment.htm'ANCIENT CHRISTIAN COMMENTARY ON SCRIPTURE. Edited by Thomas C. Oden and Christopher A. Hall. This will be a 27 volume series of Patristic Commentaries on the Old and New Testament. This series gives the commentaries of the Church Fathers, as well as ecclesiastical writers like Augustine, Origen, Clement of Alexandria, on the Holy Scriptures. It faithfully presents the writings of the Fathers and early church writers on the various scriptural passages. A valuable reference work for our Orthodox clergy and for the Orthodox Christian who is seeking a patristic commentary on the scriptures. List price: $40.00 Our price per volume: Cloth' Sad but true, im gonna have to mark over the poison in the biographies where it says that Origen was 'perhaps unfairly' condemned for his heresy. This is unnacceptable! This is Poison! Seeping into the clean orthodox waters! And Orthodox publishers are selling them! They are books that are not blessed by a archbishop or a head of orthodoxy, so they should not be sold from orthodox merchants! Poison from the anti-christ! 'let us beware lest we sicken in heart by the disease of the athiest origen' Our blessed and holy father St John of the Ladder Get behind thee satan! |

“The testimonies of the western teachers I neither recognize or accept. I surmise that they are corrupted.
There can be no compromise in matters of the Orthodox Faith.”
St Mark Of Ephesus, Doctor of the church. (True Church)
Down with ecumenism!

Just got this in the mail a couple days ago, and am moments away from diving into it: The Art of Always Being Right: The 38 Subtle Ways of Persuasion by Arthur Schopenhauer. It has chapters like "Make your opponent angry" and "Become personal, insulting, rude". In other words, become like GiC BURN! Oh, sorry, too much That 70s Show lately... |
