This book is the first major study of providence in the thought of John Chrysostom, a popular preacher in Syrian Antioch and later archbishop of Constantinople (ca. 350 to 407 CE). While Chrysostom is often considered a moralist and exegete, this study explores how his theology of providence profoundly affected his larger ethical and exegetical thought. Robert Edwards argues that Chrysostom considers biblical narratives as vehicles of a doctrine of providence in which God is above all lovi...

This book contains not only some thoughtful moments of the writer Robert F. Edwards, but the dates as well. For over 36 years, the sayings and the dates reflect in some small way as a diary of the writer. Nevertheless, if the reader takes any page and reflects on the date; they can stroll back in their time of what was happening to them or to the world around them. To say that this is a record of 36 years of history would be totally misleading. However, it is somewhat the history of the wr...

No, father's not home yet—go to sleep, dear, and the mother-hand tucked the clothes securely about the two snuggling forms; "don't ask any more, Harvey, or you'll waken Jessie—and go to sleep." Mrs. Simmons went back to the kitchen, crooning softly to the wakeful baby in her arms. Glancing at the clock, she marked, with an exclamation of surprise, how late it was. "He might be in any minute now," she said to herself as she thrust in another stick for the encouragement of the already steami...

If you don't get the call you needn't come back here, said my wife to me as I stood upon the door-sill, bag in hand, and my hard-bought ticket in my pocket. "Well, dear one, I would be sure of it if they could only see the perquisite that goes along with me." "You must be more serious, Tom, if you expect great calls; but come inside a minute till I say good-bye. When you brought me first to Canada we had half a dozen good-byes to every one farewell. Good-bye again, and if they don't call y...

The next poem, Image of Self, gives meaning to true Image development. Further on, I write of personal experiences in a creative story-telling style. I offer romance in The Nature of Love, while Heart and Soul also tells of three characters Heart, Soul and Princess and how they work out their diff...

That room in the third story is good enough for any elder, my mother was saying as I came into the library; "more than likely they'll send us a country elder anyhow, and he'll never know the difference—he'll think it's the spare room, I reckon." I was only eighteen then, and I didn't care much where elders slept, or whether they slept at all or not. Besides, it was already nine o'clock, and I was going to a little party where "Tripping the light fantastic" was to be the order of the evenin...
