The four great conciliar constitutions, On the Sacred Liturgy, On Divine Revelation, On the Church, and On the Church in the Modern World, have set down principles which will shape the life of the Church for decades, if not centuries. Not only did the Council ratify and approve what the leading catechists had been saying about the need to harmonize teaching and life, but it went far beyond their visions and opened up new horizons and perspectives. Because of this it was necessary to rethink, reorganize, and considerably expand Part Two of previous editions. . .
Besides the major conciliar constitutions, the decrees On the Bishops’ Pastoral Office, On the Apostolate of the Laity, On the Church’s Missionary Activity, and to some extent the Declaration on Christian Education, were discussed and applied to catechetics by the International Study Weeks of Bangkok, Katigondo, and Manila in 1962, 1964, and 1967. Much of the thinking of these groups is reflected in a new chapter which has been added to Part One, “The Impact of the Missions on Catechetics,” as well as in some selections from their conclusions, which have been added to the appendix.
The Decree on Priestly Formation made it possible for us to omit a chapter on the role of kerygmatic theology in priestly formation, which had appeared in previous editions. . .
Автор: David Fergusson Название: Reformed Humanism: Essays on Christian Doctrine, Philosophy, and Church ISBN: 0567712745 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567712745 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 89760.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The volume comprises a collection of essays ordered in three parts, each of which describes broadly the sub-fields of theology to which these belong. The essays tackle core themes in Christian doctrine, the longstanding relationship of theology to philosophy, and a series of challenges facing churches today. While the volume represents a Reformed theological approach often with a historical focus, it self-consciously reflects an ecumenical and critical perspective. The term ‘humanism’ reflects recent concerns that contemporary theology should steer a course between surrender to the emptiness of much secular culture and a resurgent religious tribalism. The term ‘Reformed’ indicates that this work is located in a particular theological tradition without being imprisoned within it.A further feature of the collection is its attempt to overcome the curricular divisions between systematic theology, Christian ethics, and practical theology. The third section in particular deal with issues in social ethics, theological aesthetics, the place of the church in a secular culture, and the role of theology in the university.

Название: A Cloud of Witnesses: An Introduction to the Development of Christian Doctrine to Ad 500 ISBN: 0879072180 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780879072186 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 34280.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: First published in 1989, A Cloud of Witnesses has been completely rewritten to incorporate a multitude of minor amendments and a considerable amount of additional information. Like the first edition, it is intended as an introduction to the formative first five hundred years of the Christian theological tradition. In these pages the opinions and personalities of the Fathers of the Church that emerge are presented against the intellectual, social, and political world of their times, but since the book is only an introduction, the author presents the development of Christian doctrine in a rather more logical and cohesive manner than was the case in reality.
Автор: Dumitrascu, Professor Nicu Название: Basil the great: faith, mission and diplomacy in the shaping of christian doctrine ISBN: 1472485866 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781472485861 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 148010.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Regarded as one of the three hierarchs or pillars of orthodoxy along with Gregory of Nazianzus and John Chrysostom, Basil is a key figure in the formative process of Christianity in the fourth century. While his role in establishing Trinitarian terminology, as well as his function in shaping monasticism, his social thought and even his contribution to the evolution of liturgical forms have been the focus of research for many years, there are few studies which centre on his political thought. Basil played a major role in the political and religious life between Cappadocia and Armenia and was a key figure in the tumultuous relationship between Church and State in Late Antiquity. He was a great religious leader and a gifted diplomat, and developed a ’special relationship’ with Emperor Valens and other high imperial officials.
Автор: Whitefield George Название: Sermons of George Whitefield: The 57 Preaching Lectures on Christian Theology, History, Bible Doctrine and Prophecy, Complete (Hardcover) ISBN: 1387997939 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781387997930 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 62520.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A total of 57 lectures of George Whitefield, one of the most celebrated preachers of England and the American colonies in the 18th century, are presented here. Together, these lectures offer a profound insight into an innovative and often controversial preacher. A man of immense gifts for expression, George Whitefield would commonly drive an audience to tears with his sincere expressions of faith. Pushing the boundaries of his era, Whitefield rebelled against church authority and claimed that God himself permitted that he preach itinerant indoors and in the open air. Whitefield rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most pivotal Christians of his era. Too poor to afford tutelage, the young Whitefield managed to avoid tuition by acting as a servant to other students; assisting them to wash; cleaning their quarters; and carrying their books and satchels. Such menial work appeared to fire George Whitefield's spirit; he converted to Christianity and fervently attended to his studies thereafter.
Автор: Rigby Cynthia L. Название: Holding Faith: A Practical Introduction to Christian Doctrine ISBN: 1630885843 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781630885847 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 54250.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
Luther once wrote: "Faith takes hold of Christ and has Him present, enclosing Him as the ring encloses the gem." The idea that we hold faith because faith holds us, and that faith holds us because faith holds Christ, is vital. We hold faith as we seek to know Christ better, exploring Christian doctrines and deepening our understanding of the impact and relevance to our day-to-day lives. Faith holds us as we respond to Christ's calling, negotiate life's challenges, and join in the work of bringing in God's kingdom.
The book conveys the content of core Christian doctrines and then addresses the "so what?" of each, its take away, how it matters to our everyday living, and how it shapes our spiritual and ethical practices. Using theological literature and Scripture but also current events, sociology, fiction, and movies, the author shows that theology matters. It matters to our lives and it matters to the life of the world. How we understand theology and its core beliefs has an impact on who we know ourselves to be and how we relate to God and to one another. Holding Faith concretely shows how various and diverse understandings of particular doctrines play out in relation to the way lives are lived and ethical systems put forward. It holds that some approaches to Christian doctrine are preferable to others, making persuasive arguments for better approaches.
Scripture is consistently used and sourced throughout the book as arguments are developed.

Описание: Few ideas have excited greater interest among theologians in recent decades than the idea of `participation`: the idea that everything comes from, and depends upon, God, in a way that invites use of the language of sharing, or of an exemplar and its images. This book is an extensive and cohesive exploration of this theme to date.

On Christian Doctrine is a theological text written by St. Augustine of Hippo. It consists of four books that describe how to interpret and teach the Scriptures. The first three of these books were published in 397 and the fourth added in 426. By writing this text, St. Augustine set three tasks for Christian teachers and preachers: to discover the truth in the contents of the Scriptures, to teach the truth from the Scriptures, and to defend scriptural truth when it was attacked.
