Christian Perfection (Christian Classics) Francois de Salignac de la Motie-Fenelon, the Archbishop of Cambrai, 1651-1715, was born at the Chateau de Fenelon in Perigord and descended from a long line of nobility. He studied at Saint-Sulpice seminary and after being ordained priest in 1676 he was director of the “New Catholics”, a college where women who had been converted from French Protestantism were instructed.

Best Of Fenelon $15.99 “Francois de Salignac de La Mothe-Fenelon was born in France in 1651. His formal education was carefully guided by his aristocratic elders, and he became a gifted intellectual. But he had a frustrated passion for missionary work. When an ecclessiastical rival maneuvered to have Fenelon assigned to a parish rife with conflict, Fenelon became renowned as a peacemaker. King Louis XIV appointed Fenelon tutor to his heir apparent, and Fenelon was ordained an archbishop. But his advancement in the clergy ended when he defended the radical teachings of his contemporary, Mme. Jeanne Guyon. Her popular books promoted faith, rather than ritual, as the true route to salvation. Like Mme. Guyon, Fenelon sought total abandonment in Christ. The Best of Fenelon contains three of this prolific author’s most famous works: Spiritual Letters, Maxims of the Saints, and Christian Counsel, all carefully revised and updated into modern English by Harold Chadwick. Includes Endnotes and an Index.” |

A Discourse Upon Christian Perfection. by Mr. de Fenelon, Archbishop of Cambray. $16.45 The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic — a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The Complete Fenelon $19.37 "The most engaging collection of the French mystics’ writings now available" Twenty-first century Christians are now discovering the wisdom of this controversial theologian and spiritual thinker. Fenelon showed how it was possible to have devotion and faith in the original Age of Reason. In many respects, rationality still rules today in religion and culture, and as a result, Fenelon speaks to modern Christians wanting deeper faith and a meaningful inner life. His writings have never been as accessible as they are now in these lively new translations. The Complete Fenelon includes more than one hundred of Fenelon’s letters of spiritual counsel, as well as meditations on eighty-five other topics. Also translated here into English for the first time are Fenelon’s personal reflections on twenty-one seasons and holidays of the Christian year. An introduction from bestselling translator Robert J. Edmonson and in-depth recommended reading and bibliography make this the first place to start in any study of Francois Fenelon. Francois Fenelon was a seventeenth-century French archbishop who rose to a position of influence in the court of Louis XIV. Amid the splendor and decadence of Versailles, Fenelon became a wise mentor to many members of the king’s court. Later exiled for political reasons, he set out to improve the lot of peasants of his diocese. His letters of counsel and spiritual meditations have found a wide audience for more than three centuries. |

The Way of Perfection $15.99 “God will always give us more than we ask for > Millions have read and benefited from this book since it was first written nearly 500 years ago. St. Teresa’s message of humility, simplicity, persistence, and faith is replete with language that is at times earthy, and full of self deprecating humor. > Rendered here into contemporary English, St. Teresa’s words, with their warm-hearted approach to Christian transformation, will help you look deeply into what it really means, sometimes in the smallest of details, to have a relationship with Jesus. > “Teresa lays out the time-tested path of Christian tranformation and union with God for those of us who will never be monastics, much less desert-dwelling hermits. Who among us does not need to know how to turn trouble into spiritual good, how to lovingly bear minor slights and major wounds, how to forgive and offer compassion?”> Paula Huston, from the Foreword >” |

Christian Perfection and Contemplation $22.66 Christian Perfection and Contemplation expounds the Church’s traditional teaching on that full flowering of Sanctifying Grace in the soul which is known as the "mystical life." Contrary to some "modern" authors, Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange explains from Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas and other Saints that the mystical life is not something extraordinary, like prophecy and miracles, but something to which God wants to raise all souls so that they may reach Christian perfection, which is the fullness of charity and the perfect development of Sanctifying Grace that was received at Baptism. This is an entire treatise on the operation of grace in the spiritual life that clearly and skillfully explains the great principles of the spiritual life according to St. Thomas and other sterling Catholic sources. Here the author shows us that the mystical life is "true life" and simply the flowering of the Sanctifying Grace, and the beginning of eternal life. |

Teresa of Avila’s Way of Perfection: For Everyone $8.95 “Those who turn to spiritual classics for guidance and inspiration often find their style daunting. The original texts still have much to offer but their diction and idiom, chosen for another era and audience, pose an obstacle to many contemporary readers. Teresa of Avilas Way of Perfection for Everyone is the first in a series that aims to make some of the greatest Christian teachers accessible to all. The Way of Perfection was written in the sixteenth century as an introductory text on life and prayer for Teresa of Avilas sisters, young Carmelita novices setting out on the contemplative path. This retelling of her classic in modern idiom makes the kernel of her teaching accessible to the many contemporary readers who feel called to a deeper, more Godcentered life. Teresa, an acknowledged expert, sets out the principles and practice of the life of prayer that can speak to you as you journey with God in your own life.” |

The John Wesley Reader on Christian Perfection. $24.74 JOHN WESLEY (1703-1791) is the chief architect and source of inspiration for the modern doctrine of Christian perfection. From the year 1725, when Wesley was "exceedingly affected" and resolved to "dedicate all (his) life to God," holiness became the DNA of his spiritual temperament. For the next sixty-six years Wesley taught and proclaimed a gospel of holy love, gra-ciously given to sinful humanity in Jesus Christ, for the recovery of the di-vine image lost by the first Adam. Yet the vision of perfect love did not take shape overnight. The path Wesley journeyed in developing his theology of holiness was often arduous, at times turbulent, became personally painful at specific junc-tures, and was long. It took Wesley many years to work through the particu-lars of his theological principles and finally integrate them into a holistic theological system. For the first time all the significant writings from Wesley’s pen on the subject of holiness are brought together in a reader format that tells the story how he developed his theology of Christian perfection. All periods of Wesley’s ministry are included-early, middle, and late. Selections from the entire Wesley corpus are included: sermons, journal, letters, commentary notes, tracts, and other writings. Introductions offer historical context and alert the reader to major themes and motifs. Study guides are included for personal and group study. Whether one agrees or disagrees with John Wesley on the subject of Christian holiness, all will be challenged to reflect more deeply on the nature of Christian discipleship and what it means to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Mark K. Olson is an ordained minister in The Church of theNazarene and resides in Antioch, California. He has spent many years researching John Wesley’s life, ministry and writings. His other publications are John Wesley’s ‘A Plain Account of Christian Perfection’: The Annotated Edition and John Wesley’s Theology of Christian Perfection: Developments in Doc-trine & Theological System. |

The Plain Path to Christian Perfection $28.91 1772. This treatise show that we are to seek for reconciliation and union with God, solely by renouncing ourselves, denying the world and following our blessed Savior in the regeneration. The treatise here presented is an extract, originally written in German, and since translated into French. The author had the amendment of the hearts of his readers in view; and the divine unction which attends his writings, will make it acceptable and profitable to the awakened, unprejudiced inquirers of every religious denomination. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English. |

A A Blemished Perfection: The Book of Job in Context $60 “The main methodological thesis of this study is that the book of Job, more than any other book in the Bible, should be treated as an artistic work in which form and content cannot be separated. Hence, a good acquaintance with the literary aspects of the book, including its relations with other ancient Near Eastern texts, is a precondition to the understanding of its theology. The deep structure of the book is that of a catalogue-which is a key to understanding its approach to the problem of theodicy. The difficult language of Job is scrutinized, and is proved to be an original and immanent characteristic of the book. A synthesis of the literary, linguistic and theological characteristics of Job leads to its paradoxical-not absurd-definition as ‘a blemished perfection’.” |

A Spirituality of Perfection: Faith in Action in the Letter of James $23.95 “Throughout this century the Letter of James has been viewed consistently as a disjointed set of instructions. Father Hartin deviates radically from this approach. He shows that the “call for perfection” provides a unifying meaning for the letter. Examining the concept of perfection against the background of the Greco-Roman world, the Old Testament, and the Septuagint, the author shows that perfection provides a key to define the spirituality of the Letter of James. It offers an understanding of God and of the way one is called “to be in the world.” Hartin adopts a fresh approach toward understanding the categories of wisdom, eschatology, and apocalyptic as they illuminate the letter’s advice.” |

Evidence of Grace: The Imperfect Journey to Perfection $16.99 “>Evidence of Grace is about God’s love and how God will never leave you or forsake a sinner who sincerely repents. Through a life of mistakes and turmoil, the author finds the evidence of God’s amazing grace and takes a closer look at some of the greatest Bible heroes–how they fell miserably, and how God still chose them to fulfill His Kingdom plan. King David did great things for God, but he also committed adultery and murder. Rahab, a sinner, became a saint in the latter part of her life. God can and will pardon repentant people and use them for His glorious purpose–regardless. Evidence of Grace also encourages you to pursue restoration of fallen Christian brothers and sisters and not to forget that God used some of the most messed-up people to accomplish great things for Him in spite of their shortcomings and mistakes.” |

John Wesley: A Plain Account of Christian Perfection $10.98 WHAT I purpose in the following pages is, to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led, during a course of many years, to embrace the doctrine of Christian Perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind; those who desire to know all the truth as it is in Jesus. And these only are concerned in questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing as it is, endeavouring all along to show, from one period to another, both what I thought, and why I thought so. |

Anthony Baker shows how these discourses were originally joined by the Church Fathers, to how they were separated in the Middle Ages and modern Anglicanism, to how they can be rejoined. |
