Raymond J. L. Walters Livres

The Church at Worship is a new series of documentary case studies of specific worshiping communities from around the world and throughout Christian history. In this second volume, Tasting Heaven on Earth, Walter Ray provides vivid descriptions of Constantinople, its history, its people, and its worship practices, which set the stage for a rich selection of primary documents that present readers with a vibrant snapshot of Byzantine Christianity in the sixth century. Some of the primary materials included here: Photos of mosaics, liturgical vessels, icons, and manuscripts Drawings, diagrams, descriptions, and photographs of Hagia Sophia Firsthand accounts of worship by Maximus the Confessor, Eutychius, and Procopius Liturgical prayers and a reconstruction of the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil

Gem Magic guides the reader through the uses of and stories surrounding a cornucopia of stones, including how each stone is formed and what beliefs (both occult and scientific) have been associated with it.

Drahé kameny lidstvo odjakživa velice fascinovaly. Svou krásou a výjimečností vzbuzují v lidech posvátnou úctu již od dob faraonů. A právě toto zbožné uctívání vedlo k tomu, že je lidé během staletí opředli působivými a podmanivými mýty. V této publikaci, obohacené četnými ilustracemi jak drahých kamenů, tak šperků, které se díky nim proslavily, naleznete mnohé z těchto mýtů.
