Modern Spirituality

Questo libro traccia un grande affresco sul pellegrinaggio dalla penisola italica verso i Luoghi Santi, nel periodo compreso fra il Medioevo e la conquista ottomana di Gerusalemme del 1516. Forma devozionale assai diffusa nel mondo cristiano medievale, figlio delle tradizioni ebraiche e greco-romane, il pellegrinaggio, metafora del destino dell'uomo che "cammina" verso la morte per la salvezza, segna un fenomeno storico rilevante, non solo per gli aspetti religiosi presenti in esso, ma anche per quelli culturali, sociali, economici e artistici.

Modern Christianity is in the midst of a veritable schism along the fault lines of society's culture wars. Only if we understand the origins of this split can we find our way to unity. Though few may realize it today, Jesus's ministry unfolded in a crisis very similar to the one society is now battling. In fact, were it not for the truly catastrophic conditions in early first-century Galilee, his reimagining of the three quintessential virtues of the Torah—social justice; compassion toward one another; and an abiding love of God—would have likely failed to attract a wide following.

Runes are enigmatic by nature. This is because the word rune itself originates from the Old Norse word runa, which means "secret" and comes likely from either the Proto-Germanic "runo", which means "secret" or "whisper".

But, with practice and a little experience with them, you can activate their magical energies to create positive, impactful change in your life.

To the discerning few were revealed the esoteric, or spiritual, teachings, while the unqualified received only the literal, or exoteric, interpretations.
