Photos taken in the central courtyard of Lincoln Cathedral after watching the final show of The Hunchback of Notre Dame on Saturday night. Fantastic show and a rare opportunity to see inside the Cathedral at night. The Gothic is my favourite architectural style, and a pivotal symbol of Lincolnshire's history. #architecture #gothic #gothicstyle #gothicarchitecture #cathedral #lincoln #lincolnshire #lincolncathedral #lincolnshirelife #history #socialhistory #art #theatre #hunchbackofnotredame #lincolnshirecountryside #lincolnheritage #lincolncity #Christianity #christianhistory #medieval #medievalhistory #medievalart #medievalarchitecture #photography #architectural #architecturalphotography #architecturalhistory #historian (at Lincoln Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/p/CedhZCXo5Cf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Christianity spread by love or the sword?

Christianity spread by love or the sword? For Christianity, the idea is that the spread of the faith was primarily through peaceful means such as preaching, missionary work, and acts of love and compassion towards others. This includes the early Christians sharing their beliefs through personal testimony, charitable works, and community building rather than through coercion or force. In fact,…

Reformation Day 2023

Today is Reformation Day, the day some 500 years ago that dramatically impacted the Christian church. If you attend a non-Roman Catholic church that proclaims faith in Jesus for salvation, you can thank God for THIS Day.

Martin Luther, the father of modern day faith based preaching, chose this day, October 31st, all Hallows Eve, a CHRISTIAN holiday when Christians prepared themselves to celebrate All Saints Day on November 1st, to proclaim that salvation only comes through faith in Christ.

NEW MAP: Europe 312: Battle of the Milvian Bridge (28 October 312) https://buff.ly/3md3TDJ In late 311 Constantine and Licinius secretly agreed to align against Maxentius and Maximinus Daza. Convinced that Licinius would attack Italy from the northeast, Maxentius was unprepared when Constantine invaded from the northwest. Marching out to confront Constantine’s army as it approached Rome, Maxentius was defeated and killed at the Milvian Bridge in October 312. #312 #ancientrome #milvianbridge #carta #cartography #christianhistory #4thcentury #europe #europeanhistory #geopolitics #histories #historybuff #historyinthemaking #historylesson #historynerd #constantinethegreat #mapping #maps #militaryhistory #october #october28 #roman #romancivilwar #constantine #romanempire #romanhistory #maxentius #romans #worldhistory #newmap (at Ponte Milvio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSffPvGhKIH/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Reconquista

The Reconquista was one of the most successful of campaigns waged against Muslims by the Christians. The Islamic Moors had occupied most of the Iberian peninsula since the fall of the Visigothic Kingdom, to the Umayyad Caliphate in the early 8th century.

The Reconquista started around 720 with the battle of Covadonga in the small Kingdom of Asturias, between the Umayyads and Christians.

Though never a united force, the Christian Iberian kingdoms often shared a common goal and identity. Which inspired great cooperation among them against their, often more politically united, Muslim rivals.

In 1212 a Crusade was declared against the Almohad Caliphate. Uniting the forces of Aragon, Castile, Leon, Navarra, and Portugal in the decisive Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.

In 1444 all that remained of the once-mighty Islamic presence in Iberia were the Emirate of Granada. Which fell in 1492, a few months before the discovery of the New World and the start of ‘La Conquista’.

Using Christianity to justify antisemitism. A new Danish Bible translation wishes to pretend that the Christian Bible contains no mention of Israel. The official excuse is so that people do not confuse Israel with the modern day state. Meanwhile, no references to Egypt were removed for the same reason, showing that the true reason is antisemitism by pandering to those who hate the Jewish State alone.

The Gospel of Matthew: Word for Word Bible Comic Intro pages I'm really pleased with the quoted verse on this book. On each book, there is a verse from another part of the bible which encapsulates or sets up the story of the book. I asked for suggestions from the fan base and this one was best as it captures the theme but also uses a Messianic title that Matthew focuses on. Then there is the map helping readers get their bearings and set the stage for the story.

The Gnostic Gospels

The Gnostic Gospels are a collection of ancient texts that were discovered in the mid-20th century, shedding light on the beliefs and practices of early Christian groups known as Gnostics. These texts are not part of the traditional New Testament canon found in mainstream Christianity but are considered important for understanding the diversity of early Christian thought.

The word "Gnostic" comes from the Greek word "gnosis," meaning "knowledge" or "insight." Gnosticism was a complex and diverse movement that emerged in the early centuries of Christianity and was influenced by various religious, philosophical, and mystical traditions of the time.

Key Characteristics of Gnosticism:

Esoteric Knowledge: Gnostics believed in the existence of secret knowledge or insights (gnosis) that could lead to salvation and a deeper understanding of the divine realm.

Dualism: Gnosticism often posited a dualistic view of the world, dividing reality into two realms: the material, imperfect world created by a lesser or ignorant deity (the Demiurge), and the spiritual, perfect realm of the supreme divine being.

Salvation through Knowledge: Gnostics taught that salvation involved liberating the divine spark trapped within the material world, and this could be achieved through the acquisition of secret knowledge.

Rejection of the Material World: Gnostics generally regarded the material world as inferior and often associated it with evil or ignorance.

Christology: Gnostic views of Jesus Christ varied, but many Gnostic texts presented Jesus as a divine being who imparted secret knowledge to his followers, helping them escape the material world and attain salvation.

The Nag Hammadi Library: The most significant collection of Gnostic texts was found in 1945 near the town of Nag Hammadi in Egypt. This discovery led to the unearthing of several ancient manuscripts, including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Philip, and many others. These texts provide valuable insights into the diverse beliefs and practices of early Gnostic communities.

Importance and Controversy: The Gnostic Gospels have sparked significant scholarly interest and debate. Some scholars believe that elements of Gnostic thought influenced early Christianity, and the conflicts between orthodox Christian beliefs and Gnostic teachings may have contributed to the development of Christian orthodoxy. Others argue that Gnosticism should be seen as a distinct religious movement separate from mainstream Christianity.

It's important to note that the Gnostic Gospels do not represent a unified or coherent system of beliefs but rather a diverse range of ideas and perspectives. As with any historical and religious texts, interpreting the Gnostic Gospels requires careful analysis and consideration of their historical context and the beliefs of the communities that produced and preserved them.

New from Cistercian Publications: a new imagining of the life of St. Mary of Egypt, one of the most remarkable and intriguing of the Desert Mothers, from Bonnie B. Thurston. And as is typical for Cistercian Press titles, it’s a beautifully produced book. #bookstagram #books #saints #hagiography #Egypt #DesertMothers #spirituality #Christianity #Christianhistory #prayer (at Clarkston, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/carlmccolman/p/CY2kb0IuD3L/?utm_medium=tumblr
