Liturgical texts, repeated week after week by hundreds of thousands of people, are an ideal starting-point for exploring deep matters of faith. Their rich theological content, their themes and their familiarity, can help us develop a more mature, informed faith and spirituality. Assuming no specialist knowledge but convinced that a good theological understanding is within everyone's grasp, Paul Ferguson takes often repeated words from the Eucharist, morning and evening prayer, and the baptism, marriage and funeral rites to explore core Christian belief. Ideal for confirmation courses, study groups and individual reading, this will take readers to new places of understanding via familiar, loved texts.
Autorenporträt
Paul Ferguson was born in England, spent his childhood in Ottawa Canada and obtained a BA degree in History from The State University of New York in Oswego. His writing career began in the 70s when he wrote lyrics for pop songs, radio commercials and the film score for the movie Assassin. Paul also wrote lyrics for winning entries at the Japanese, Spanish and Irish song festivals. After playing professional ice hockey in Europe, Paul spent over twenty years as an ice hockey commentator working with the BBC, ITV, Sky and Eurosport. In the mid eighties he wrote a book on how to play ice hockey (published by David and Charles). Short film script writing earned Paul a BAFTA nomination for My Darling Wife in 2008 and since then several of his scripts have been made into short films. In 1985, Paul co-founded Ferguson Snell and Associates Ltd, a firm advising on UK immigration matters for corporate clients. Paul and his business partner sold the company in 2006. His debut novel, Killing the Dead, is story of a writer hoping to make it in Hollywood but rejection and ridicule from the industry he loves forces him down a road he never intended to go. Alone and desperate for recognition, he decides to bring his script to life and take it to the streets of LA. Within days, his chilling deeds spread fear and panic in the city. California was no stranger to serial killers, but this one was different.
