Описание: "One nation under God," "Endowed by their creator," and "In God we trust" are familiar and foundational phrases to those of us now described as being a part of "the greatest generation" or "the baby boomers." We've spent our lives proudly proclaiming that America is a Christian nation. After all, we made it part of our pledge, our founding documents, and we printed it on our money. Setting aside that nostalgia, the reality is that America is the third largest mission field in the world, only four percent of Americans born after 1980, believe that the Bible is true and divorce rates and pornography use are similar inside of the church as outside. How did we get here? Certainly, there are multiple factors, but a large piece of the answer is that we took God out of the schools, then out of the homes, and now we are taking Him out of the church. In churches where God may still be found, He has become one dimensional with only characteristics of love, grace, and mercy. This parallels our societal changes where all behaviors are now acceptable, and you dare not state that something is wrong, or you'll be labeled as intolerant and prejudice. Whether politically correct or not, Hell is a literal reality where those who intentionally reject Christ will spend eternity in anguish-not because God is vengeful but very simply because that is the choice that they made. Before we comfort ourselves with, "Oh, but I believe in God," remember that an integral part of belief is obedience. Also consider the question: At some point doesn't intentional neglect morph into intentional rejection? Take the short journey through these pages and learn what God's written word teaches us about a persevering relationship with Him as we travel through life toward the goal of sanctification and eternity in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A sustained and systematic theological reflection on the idea that being a Christian is, first and last, a matter of the flesh, Christian Flesh shows us what being a Christian means for fleshly existence. Depicting and analyzing what the Christian tradition has to say about the flesh of Christians in relation to that of Christ, the book shows that some kinds of fleshly activity conform well to being a Christian, while others are in tension with it. But to lead a Christian life is to be unconstrained by ordinary ethical norms. Arguing that no particular case of fleshly activity is forbidden, Paul J. Griffiths illustrates his message through extended case studies of what it is for Christians to eat, to clothe themselves, and to engage in physical intimacy.

Jan Valeri?n Jirs?k (1798–1883) is generally considered to be a well-known figure of Czech history. He is renowned as a priest, theologian, active nationalist, supporter of the education system, pedagogue and, not insignificantly, the fourth bishop of ?esk? Bud?jovice / Budweis (1851–1883) as well as a participant at the First Vatican Council (1869–1870). The intention of this book is a modern interpretation of the life and theological work of Jan Valeri?n Jirs?k, not only in connection with the results of existing historical and theological research but especially in the context of socio-cultural changes within the Middle European area of his time.

Автор: Bennett Jana Marguerite Название: Singleness and the Church: A New Theology of the Single Life ISBN: 0190462620 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190462628 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 35370.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Despite the fact that almost half of all Americans are single, singleness remains an often overlooked oddity in American culture and in Christian communities. Christians ought to be the people who most support singleness, given what scripture and tradition suggest, but this does not seem to be the case. In this exciting new book, Jana Marguerite Bennett examines a variety of usually forgotten models of singleness: the never-married, the casually uncommitted, the committed but unmarried, the same-sex attracted, the widowed, the divorced, and the single parent. Each chapter in Singlenessand the Church takes one of these models and considers the cultural commentary, Christian debate, and a holy guide-figures like Paul, Augustine, Aelred of Rievaulx, Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Dorothy Day -in order to offer a new perspective on singleness, the church, and what it means to be a single Christian disciple. In Singleness and the Church, Bennett provides a fresh new theology of single life, a starting point for restoring singleness, in all its amazing varieties, to its rightful place in Christian tradition.

What do we need to learn and receive from the other to help us address challenges or wounds in our own tradition? That is the key question asked in what has come to be known as 'receptive ecumenism'. And nowhere is this question more pressing and pertinent than in women's experiences within the church.
Based on qualitative research from five focus groups, For the Good of the Church expose the difficulties women face when they work in a church - sexism, unfulfilled vocation, and abuse of power and privilege, as well as the wide range of gifts and skills which women bring in light of these.
The second part of the book continues to draw on the particular wounds and gifts, which arise in the focus groups. Specific case studies are used to identify gifts of theology, practice, experience, vocation and power.
Against negative prognoses of an 'ecumenical winter', Gabrielle Thomas reveals how radically different theological and ecclesiological perspectives can be a space for learning and receiving gifts for the well-being of the whole Church.

Описание: A thought-provoking series of essays that address the specific theological and practical challenges of today`s Episcopal Church.
Are you struggling to understand the concept of faith? You know that faith is something every Christian must have, but how do you get it? Or perhaps you're feeling distant and aloof in your relationship with God, unsure of how to take your relationship to the next level. What does God expect of me? How does one please a holy God? And what exactly does the Bible mean when it says a person is "full of the Holy Ghost?" God knows that, even as Christians, we sometimes struggle in our faith. But rest assured, God is there to help us. God has provided for us all of the answers to our questions in His holy word - before we even ask them And His Holy Spirit provides us with the help we need to navigate through an ungodly world as godly people. He draws us closer to God, helps our faith to grow, and shows us how to please God in holiness. Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled.
