Christian meditation is considered a form of prayer. Some Christian prayer is made primarily by using the intellect, through the contemplation of the divine mysteries. However, Christian prayer or meditation through the heart, as described in the Philokalia is a practice towards Theosis, which involves acquiring an inner stillness and ignoring the physical senses.

According to the Old Testament book of Joshua, a form of meditation is to meditate on scriptures. This is one of the reasons why bible verse memory is a practice among many evangelical Christians. "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it, then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8).

Joseph Franz von Allioli (born 10 August, 1793, at Sulzbach, Germany; died 22 May, 1873, at Augsburg, Germany), was a Roman Catholic theologian and orientalist.

Allioli studied theology at Landshut and was ordained at Ratisbon in 1816. From 1818 to 1820, he studied Oriental languages at Vienna, Rome, and Paris. He became professor in the University at Landshut in 1824, and was transferred with the university to Munich in 1826. Owing to a weak throat, he had to accept a canonry at Ratisbon in 1835, and became Dean of the chapter at Augsburg, in 1838.

The dictionary states that RARE means: Uncommon, unusual, exceptional, atypical, extraordinary and infrequent. This book should be considered extremely rare because of its exhaustiveness (>1500 pages) & age (1866).

I’ll guarantee if you display this Huge Catholic Family Bible in your home or office, it will be the center of attention.
