A much-needed addition to the emerging literature on the formative power of religious practices, Educating People of Faith creates a vivid portrait of the lived practices that shaped the faith of Jews and Christians in synagogues and churches from antiquity up to the seventeenth century. This significant book is the work of Jewish, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant scholars who wished to discover and describe how Jews and Christians through history have been formed in religious ways of thinking and acting. Rather than focusing solely on either intellectual or social life, the authors all use the concept of "practices" as they attend to the embodied, contextual character of religious formation. Their studies of religious figures, community life, and traditional practices such as preaching, sacraments, and catechesis are colorful, detailed, and revealing. The authors are also careful to cover the nature of religious education across all social levels, from the textual formation of highly literate rabbis and monks engaged in Scripture study to the local formation of illiterate medieval Christians for whom the veneration of saints' shrines, street performances of religious dramas, and public preaching by wandering preachers were profoundly formative. Educating People of Faith will benefit scholars and teachers desiring a fuller perspective on how lived practices have historically formed people in religious faith. It will also be useful to practical theologians and pastors who wish to make the resources of the past available to practitioners in the present. Contributors: John C. Cavadini Anne L.

Defective item
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I requested a refund or replacement as one of the two bottles that arrived. Has an issue with spraying. When I put it in the unlocked position, it does not spray I requested from the seller, but the seller wants to meet to provide proof and requesting me to upload a video. When I explained the defect, they told me to move it to unlocked position. I buy this sunscreen all the time for my kids so I’m aware of how to lock and unlock a sunscreen Unfortunately through buyer/seller messaging you’re unable to leave a video so I will unfortunately have to leave a review here. I hope the seller will resolve this defective item.

Great after sun
This is one of the best aftersun lotions I've found. (And I grew up in FL so I've tried many!) I first discovered this lotion while on vacation on Sanibel Island - when I needed something to soothe my sun-kissed shoulders. It is super moisturizing, yet soaks in quickly. Isn't at all greasy, and leaves my skin feeling so nourished. I have even used it after getting burnt and have noticed considerably less peeling when I've used this immediately and consistently. IMO, the smell is a little strong - but it's a nice topical coconut smell - so not at all offensive. (I don't use a lot of scented stuff and therefore tend to be a little sensitive to smells - so keep that in consideration)

It really works!
Just buy it!!! Well worth the money, since it does exactly what it says it does. The smell is heavenly and nothing else keeps my skin this soft. Beach days are about over and my tan is still glowing, from regular use. Highly recommend.

Very moisterizing
the Mau Island secret after sun tan is very moisturizing and it prevented peeling after a deep island tan. My skin does look dewy and smooth. I did not however find the scent as lasting or even as strong as I would have liked in an after sun lotion, its rather light, still a nice scent. I found it a little pricey in comparison to Hawaiian tropic or others.
