In God S Holy Light

The Desert Monastics, thousands of monks and nuns who lived in the Egyptian wastelands between the third and fifth centuries, have come to be seen as the Olympians of the spiritual life. Renowned spiritual writer Joan Chittister explores the sayings of the Desert Mothers and Fathers, finding wisdom from that ancient tradition that speaks to your life today. This popular introduction to a powerful source of Christian wisdom can be a companion to your own spiritual journey.

When a person embarks upon their spiritual journey into a higher state of consciousness, a breakdown of epic and unmanageable proportions often occurs. This breakdown can open them up to communion with what is described as a Holy Light. Trauma, and near death experiences were often consistently testified as feeling and seeing a Holy Light. This dissertation discusses the intersection of the Holy Light and the individual. The Holy Light is both God, and the creative force Christians call the Holy Spirit. Historical works, and numerous accounts of current day revelations from varied sources, cite the powerful moments transpired, elevating a person into the truth of oneness or presence with the Holy Light. These experiences even if known for but a moment, can irrevocably change the course of oneÕs life. In the moments of deep surrender and vibrational alignment, this Holy Light comes rushing in, and oneness is once again remembered.

Sharing the Holy Light tells the story of Paulus, a former guard of the Apostle Paul, and of Paulus' sister Livia. As a new "Christ follower", Paulus struggles to find answers about his new faith and the God he now claims to serve. His search for answers takes him to Ephesus, where he meets the Apostle John. In this encounter, he learns many of the stories of Jesus and His life on earth. Livia and her husband Tatius have settled in Arelate (Arles), in Southern Gaul, and have begun a successful Christian ministry to the people of that region. Sharing the Holy Light is set during the time just before the death of Emperor Nero and in the tumultuous years that follow. It is a time of unrest and violence, and, as "Christ followers", the book's characters are caught in the web of uncertainty that engulfs the entire Roman Empire.

With full attention to the classical, medievel, and Renaissance traditions that constituted the milieu in which Milton wrote, Lieb explores the sacral basis of Milton's thought. He argues that Milton's responsiveness to the holy as the most fundamental of experiences caused his outlook to transcend immediate doctrinal concerns. Acccordingly, Lieb contends that the consecratory impulse not only underlined Milton's point of view but infused all aspects of his work. Originally published in 1981.
