Parzivals weg naar de graal
Van onnozelheid via twijfel naar innerlijke rustDe zoektocht naar de graal, een thema dat in de late Middeleeuwen tot bloei kwam in de verhalen van troubadours en minnezangers, is een thema dat zijn betekenis nog niet verloren heeft. Parzival, de jonge held die een moeilijke en eenzame weg aflegt om tot de graalburcht te komen, is uitgegroeid tot een ‘oerbeeld’ van de individuele mens die streeft naar een verbinding met het hogere. Wolfram von Eschenbach’s ‘Parzival’ is de rijkste van de vele graalvertellingen. De beelden uit zijn verhaal bevatten ook voor ons, in de 21e eeuw, een schat aan inzicht en wijsheid. In deze uitgave volgen we Parzival op de voet. We beleven zijn ontwikkeling, van onnozelheid via twijfel naar innerlijke rust en ontdekken hoezeer zijn ontwikkelingsweg is verbonden met die van de andere figuren in het graalverhaal. Daarnaast geeft de auteur tal van aanwijzingen die verwijzen naar de historische en geografische samenhangen die Wolfram in zijn vertelling heeft verwerkt.

Odilia
en de toekomst van EuropaDe heilige Odilia leefde in de zevende eeuw. De legende vertelt dat zij bij haar geboorte blind was en door haar vader, hertog Etticho, werd verstoten. Door een wonder kon zij later toch zien. Haar leven wijdde zij aan het verzorgen van zieken en andere hulpbehoeftigen. Stil en ingekeerd werkte zij aan een verchristelijking van de Europese cultuur. Via haar nageslacht zijn vele historische koningshuizen in Europa met Odilia verbonden. De impuls die zich in haar leven toonde, zette zich langs vele wegen voort. Rudolf Steiner sprak bij verschillende gelegenheden over de persoonlijkheid die zich in Odilia belichaamde, en noemde daarbij ook andere incarnaties van deze persoonlijkheid en van anderen die met Odilia verbonden waren - gedurende meerdere levens. Zo wordt in dit boek het ‘spoor van Odilia’ tot in de 20e eeuw gevolgd en rijst het fascinerende beeld van een impuls die niet alleen in het verleden maar ook voor de toekomst van Europa van bijzonder belang is.

Living Together in a World Falling Apart
LIVING TOGETHER IN A WORLD FALLING APART The classic "handbook on Christian community," with updated reflections By Dave and Neta Jackson When LIVING TOGETHER IN A WORLD FALLING APART was first published in 1974, tensions in society-an unpopular war, racial divisions, fearful economics, the seeming futility of "success," and widespread alienation-were not addressed in most churches. Racism still thrived, worship meant three hymns and you're out, and relationships had deteriorated to weekly handshakes. But many believed-based on New Testament descriptions of the early church-that this couldn't be all God planned for his people. These restless souls eagerly read about Dave and Neta Jackson's personal search as they experimented with household living and took a road trip visiting the crop of emerging Christian communities around the country. Written in a breezy, candid manner, LIVING TOGETHER became not only a bestseller and classic "handbook on Christian community," but provided perhaps the only sociological snapshot of the many Christian communities from that era. Now, because many conditions in church and society are repeating themselves, interest in Christian community is reviving-whether through small groups, house churches, the emerging church movement, the new monasticism, or among Christians experimenting with communal living as a way to be more faithful, effective, and connected. This updated edition contains the original text of LIVING TOGETHER as well as many of the Jacksons' personal reflections and evaluations after living in Christian community for over 25 years, thereby providing nearly 30 percent new material.
