The season of Advent traditionally involved meditation upon the ‘Four Last Things’: heaven, hell, death, and judgement. This ancient but nearly lost sacred art of contemplation encouraged Christians to evaluate who they were, what they treasured and how they ought to live in view of the world to come. The Love That Moves the Sun revives this ancient practice and marries it with contemporary concerns.Each chapter considers one of the Last Things in relation to a modern crisis, from the climate emergency, rise of populism and racial injustice to the economic inequalities of class. In a time of compound crises, retrieving the sacred art of contemplating the Last Things gives a vision of hope and direction in a chaotic world of uncertainty. The first advent began with an angelic messenger announcing the coming of Christ to Mary. The Love That Moves the Sun enables us to hear a fresh annunciation in our own time, calling us to join in with God’s salvation of a groaning creation and the hope of a new earth where justice dwells.

Imaginatively retrieves the ancient Christian tradition of the spiritual senses to explore how we sense and make sense of God and God's world, and resource Christian communities today Helps Christians contemplate and feel the presence of Christ in a turbulent world where God sometimes feels absentExpertly links the ancient spiritual senses with contemporary concerns from social invisibility to racism Early and medieval Christianity developed a varied spiritual senses tradition to describe the grace-filled capacity to pierce the thin crystal membrane that separates the sensible world from the divine. Just as our physical senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and sound allow us to perceive the tangible world around us, the spiritual senses engrace us to perceive God in our midst.In this book, Paul Dominiak unpacks the scriptural roots, historical development and persisting power of this tradition. Each chapter considers in turn the spiritual senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and sound, illustrating the transformative potential of each for Christian communities in relation to contemporary concerns around trauma, class, immigration, race and gender.
