Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In an age of moral relativism, digital distraction, and doctrinal drift, what does it mean to be a conservative Christian-not as a political label, but as a faithful steward of eternal truth In Conservatism in Christianity, theologian Dr. Everest John offers a sweeping, scholarly yet accessible exploration of how Christian orthodoxy has been preserved across two millennia-from the apostles' teachings to the challenges of the digital age. This isn't about nostalgia. It's about continuity: the sacred duty to guard 'the faith once delivered to the saints' (Jude 1:3) against cultural compromise, theological innovation, and spiritual amnesia.Through deep dives into Scripture, Church history, and global traditions-Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox-Dr. John reveals how true conservatism is not resistance to change, but discerning fidelity: upholding biblical authority, moral clarity, liturgical integrity, and the sanctity of life while engaging the world with wisdom and courage.You'll discover: - Why the early Church fought heresies like Gnosticism-and why today's battles over gender, marriage, and bioethics are spiritual continuations of that same struggle- How the Reformation, Vatican II, and the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy shaped modern conservative identity- Practical ways to transmit unchanging truth to a generation drowning in moral confusionIf you believe Christianity must be more than a mirror of culture-if you long for a faith anchored in Scripture, tested by time, and lived with conviction-click 'Buy Now.' This book is your compass for preserving truth in a world that's forgotten what truth even is.…

In den WarenkorbPhotograph of the first aircraft to break the sound barrier. Glossy black-and-white photograph of the Bell X-1 rocket-powered aircraft, nicknamed "Glamorous Glennis," in flight. Boldly signed by eight of the program's test pilots: Chuck Yeager, Frank "Pete" Everest, Chalmers "Slick" Goodlin, Bob Champine with "NACA X-1 pilot, 1950," John H. Griffith, Gus Lundquist, Joe Cannon, and Scott Crossfield. In fine condition. The piece measures 10 inches by 8 inches. Rare and desirable. The Bell X-1 was a rocket engine-powered aircraft, designated originally as the XS-1, and was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics-U.S. Army Air Forces-U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by Bell Aircraft. Conceived during 1944 and designed and built in 1945, it achieved a speed of nearly 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h) in 1948. A derivative of this same design, the Bell X-1A, having greater fuel capacity and hence longer rocket burning time, exceeded 1,600 miles per hour (2,600 km/h) in 1954. The X-1, piloted by Chuck Yeager, was the first manned airplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was the first of the X-planes, a series of American experimental rocket planes (and non-rocket planes) designated for testing of new technologies and often kept secret.…
