""We have a contemplation problem," and here's what to do about it. Jacob Riyeff draws on 1,600 years of contemplative tradition in the West to show how humans are contemplative beings, what it means to contemplate in different areas of life, and how embracing a contemplative life can help lead anyone to a fuller experience of self, world, and communion with the Divine. This is a volume of "spiritual theology," using theological principles and understandings but exploring how to apply those principles and understandings to shape one's daily living. Drawing on the ways that John Cassian, St. Benedict, Gregory the Great, William of Saint-Thierry, Dame Gertrude More, and others shaped and passed on the Christian inheritance, Contemplate brings this directlyto bear on contemporary social and cultural situations. It seeks to answer the question, what does the contemplative tradition have to offer Christians living post-industrial, digitally-saturated, ecologically fraught lives?"-- Provided by publisher. “An engaging and alluring introduction to what contemplation is, why we need it, and how to go about doing it.” —Fr.

Drawing on Sanskrit and Chinese textual sources, as well as Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist art historical representations, this book traces the conceptual and iconographic development of the riverine goddess of knowledge Sarasvat from sometime after 1750 B.C.E. to the seventh century C.E.

Called the "Christ of New Orleans" by Andrei Codrescu, Everette Maddox was a New Orleans legend, a poet whose mythos made it hard to know who he really was. Broke and often homeless, but with a distinctive taste for style and glamour, Maddox was a character well suited for the contradictions of New Orleans life. As Ralph Adamo remarks in his introduction, "We each have out own Everette, and then we have the poems." In this collection, editor Adamo has selected the best from Maddox's published collections as well as many poems unpublished to date. Adamo's impeccable selection and thematic ordering provide a frame uniquely appropriate to Maddox's work; even the most famous of his poems seems to take on new, surprising dimensions.
