Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'One can only voice a vigorous 'yes' to this wise and welcome book'In an age when the Bible has been stripped of its sacredness and mystery, and functional biblical illiteracy reigns, this book makes the case that we must work to re-enchant the text in order to return the Bible to its rightful place in the lives of Christians.'One can only voice a vigorous 'yes' to this wise and welcome book. Johns's work is at once breathtaking and breath-giving in its expansive hopefulness.'--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary'In this powerful and compelling analysis, Johns offers a way to 're-enchant' Scripture that refuses domestication; sees the text's power to disrupt, redescribe, and reorient; and embraces a pneumatic imagination. A must-read.'--Lisa Bowens, Princeton Theological Seminary'This book amounts to a bold Pentecostal intervention in current discussions about the theological interpretation of Scripture. Johns's vision for a Pentecostal ontology of Scripture is not just for Pentecostals--it is a gift to the church catholic, born at Pentecost.'--James K. A. Smith, Calvin University; author of How (Not) to Be Secular, Thinking in Tongues, and You Are What You Love'This book holds a timely invitation to come on a particular journey, one that asks how it is that sacred Scripture has become something less than a text through which the Spirit manifests and speaks.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Perceptive, funny, subversive, and nourishing'Many of us spend our days feeling like we're the only one with problems, while everyone else has their act together. But the sooner we realize that everyone struggles like we do, the sooner we can show grace to ourselves and others.In Low Anthropology, author and theologian David Zahl explores how our ideas about human nature influence our expectations in friendship, work, marriage, and politics. He offers a liberating view of human nature, sin, and grace, showing why the good news of Christianity is both urgent and appealing.By embracing a more accurate view of human beings, we can discover a true and lasting hope.'A remarkably perceptive, funny, subversive, and nourishing book that hasn't left my mind since I read it. David Zahl shows that transformation--and the kind of hope we can actually rely on--isn't to be found in the oppressive perfectionism of self-improvement but rather in accepting the liberating truth that we're all flawed, finite, prone to overconfidence and messing things up, and in need of forgiveness.'--Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals'This is the book I have been waiting for: an antidote to all the self-help nonsense that weighs down our bookshelves and our self-regard. I feel lighter, freer, and less alone with every word I read in Zahl's brilliant and truthful Low Anthropology.'--Nadia Bolz-Weber, author of Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People'I know of few people better equipped to cut through the religious noise of our day than David Zahl, and this book is no exception. While we're constantly being told to think better and expect more of ourselves, Zahl provides a counterintuitive take. He shows us that there's goodness in being merely human, and there's great humor to be found in it too.'--Mike Cosper, author and director of podcasts at Christianity Today.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This is Protestant theology at its very best'Protestants often view the doctrine of good works with suspicion. This book shows how biblical exegesis, systematic and historical theology, and practical theology can together contribute to the recovery of a robust account of good works.'A powerful and necessary intervention for an American church addicted to cheap grace. This is Protestant theology at its very best, because this is theology from and for the church. Every pastor and teacher should read this book.'--Keith L. Johnson, Wheaton College'Good works are an often neglected or misunderstood scriptural theme. McCall, Friedeman, and Friedeman correct many misconceptions and set forth their own understanding in this important work. I am grateful for this contribution and hope it precipitates further conversation and study.'--Thomas Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary'Unfortunately, in some Protestant circles since the Reformation, good works have undeservedly gotten a bad name. This book takes on numerous caricatures such as 'Good works have nothing to do with salvation' in a refreshing and detailed way, and the result is the best single study I know of on this subject. I highly recommend it.'--Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary'McCall, Friedeman, and Friedeman offer a gift to the church in this challenge to reclaim good works in the Protestant tradition. Ultimately, this book is a needed corrective to cognition-centered faith that may not actually be faith at all.'--Christa L. McKirland, Carey Baptist College; executive director of Logia International'Saved by good works Yes! Not only Catholics but also Protestants have traditionally taught this. This book contributes positively to the current theological conversation about how to best systematize what Scripture teaches about salvation. Highly recommended.'--Matthew W. Bates, Quincy University; author of Salvation by Allegiance Alone.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'An excellent introductory text'This theology textbook helps readers articulate basic Christian doctrines, think theologically, and connect Christian thought to their everyday lives of faith. Updated and revised throughout, this second edition also includes a new section on gender and race and new end-of-chapter material connecting each doctrine to a spiritual discipline.'I have been using Practicing Christian Doctrine in my theology classes for years. It succeeds in its aim to be both evangelical and ecumenical. Readers don't have to follow Jones on every point in order to appreciate the way she evenhandedly treats the evangelical options on each doctrine. The second edition updates an already excellent book and provides even more direction on how doctrine informs discipleship. This book is, in my estimation, simply the best and most accessible introduction to theology for students new to the discipline. My students love it.'--R. Lucas Stamps, Oklahoma Baptist University'In this second edition, Jones renders what was already an excellent introductory text into an even more expansive and well-rounded articulation of Christian theology. Skillfully weaving together a thorough overview of Christian doctrine with some of the most pressing social and political issues currently facing American evangelicalism and Western modernity, Jones demonstrates courage and wisdom as she invites us not only into a deeper understanding of theology but also into a more faithful embodiment of the Gospel.'--Jessica Wai-Fong Wong, Azusa Pacific University'Like two rivers converging, here biblical foundations and historic Christianity flow into a vision for a practical life of faith. Already one of the most sound and readable theology texts available, it now enlarges spiritual disciplines and social issues to be even more engaging, relevant, and inspirational. Jones writes with humility and conviction to evidence that doctrine is indispensable for evangelical Christianity and essential for knowing the living God.'--W. Brian Shelton, Asbury University'With Practicing Christian Doctrine, Jones has offered teachers and learners everywhere a lovely gift. Here is an accessible introduction to Christian theology with application for the Christian life. This book has clear prose, classic quotes, and a worshipful purpose.'--Phil Tallon, Houston Christian University.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book shows students how to read beyond the New Testament and why it matters. It covers the Septuagint, the Apostolic Fathers, the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, Philo, Josephus, and Greek historians and biographers, philosophers and rhetoricians, and poets and playwrights.'This is the book I wish I'd had when I was teaching Greek to university and seminary students. It beckons the new generation into a kind of intellectual maturity: understanding not only the New Testament but also the world in which it was birthed. A gift that will keep on giving.'--N. T. Wright, former Bishop of Durham; University of St. Andrews (emeritus); Wycliffe Hall, Oxford'Makes a compelling case that going beyond the Greek New Testament is one of the best ways to gain proficiency and the motivation to continue one's Greek journey well beyond seminary studies. As I read this book, I felt the excitement that I had when I first started reading Greek texts. I wish that this book had been available then! It will certainly be a valuable resource now.'--Dana M. Harris, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School'Anyone who picks up this book will have an exceptional resource for improving their Greek. It should be a standard textbook for any advanced Greek class.'--Elizabeth E. Shively, St. Mary's College, University of St. Andrews'A phenomenal way to introduce students both to more advanced Greek readings and to significant ancient texts that are outside the Greek New Testament. Serious students will come away with an increased ability to read Greek and with a wealth of insight about the ancient world.'--Joshua W. Jipp, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School'Fills an important niche in Greek studies. Botner eases the way into secular Greek for those previously exposed primarily to New Testament Greek. He skillfully opens up the broader Greek world for an audience that will surely profit from learning about the social and linguistic environment in which the New Testament was composed.'--J. S. Rundin, University of California, Davis.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A remarkable achievement that breaks new ground'In a culture that so often seems to shrink and flatten our vision, reducing the world to mere atoms and us to mere things, the arts can break our imaginations open. In conversation with multiple art forms, theologian Jeremy Begbie helps us see this world and ourselves as infinitely richer than we could ever imagine: as created and redeemed by the inexhaustible love of God.'As only Jeremy Begbie can do, this book weaves theology and music, philosophy and poetry, science and Scripture to explore and celebrate the uncontainability of the triune God and the irreducible complexity of creation. Beginning with an astute analysis of our modern tendency to reduce, flatten, and de-complexify the beautiful, swirling kaleidoscope of divine and created reality, Begbie articulates a creative, constructive pneumatology that deepens our understanding of the resonance between theology and the arts. A remarkable achievement that breaks new ground.'--James K. A. Smith, Calvin University; editor in chief, Image'Abundantly More is not simply a justification of the literary, visual, and musical arts. Begbie insists that the arts do far more than give us delight. They also undermine the idea that human reason alone is capable of understanding our universe and invite us to encounter and engage the inexhaustible beauty and incomprehensible mystery of what cannot be defined.'--Robin Jensen, University of Notre Dame'Over against modernity's reductionistic impulses--to view human life as 'nothing more than, ' human work as 'nothing but, ' and human relations as mere power struggles and 'nothing besides'--Jeremy Begbie shows how Christ's resurrection, as the uncontainable 'moreness' of God's love-in-action par excellence, serves to rupture this pathologically miserly vision of life and how the arts can function as graced partners in the ongoing 'opening up and out' work of the triune God. This book is a must-read for theologians and church leaders.'--W. David O. Taylor, Fuller Theological Seminary'In this book, Jeremy Begbie achieves a remarkable double feat: a quietly devastating critique of the engrained reductionist tendencies in Western modernity and, in dialogue with his profoundly humane theological insight, an inspiring manifesto for the fundamental value of the arts as part of what makes us human.'--Bettina Varwig, University of Cambridge.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The most comprehensive account to date of the liturgical forms that reshaped the landscape of Christian worship'Two worship experts provide the first comprehensive history of Contemporary Praise & Worship, offering insight into where this phenomenon began and how it reshaped the church.'The story of Contemporary Praise & Worship is fascinating and complex, and Ruth and Lim follow its twists and turns with historical precision, theological sophistication, and wondrous clarity. This book is a remarkable achievement. It will remain the standard work of reference on evangelical and Pentecostal worship for years to come.'--Melanie C. Ross, Yale Divinity School'What a remarkably rich and thought-provoking account of the people and the convictions that have directly or indirectly shaped the worship practices of millions of Christians in several quite different traditions. Those who remember the people or events described here may well be astonished to see the contours of the larger story in which they played a part. This is a book that will help us slow down and listen attentively, a crucial task for anyone who is called to discern the nature of vital, faithful worship practices in the years to come, including Christians from traditions that seem at first not to be influenced by the worlds described here.'--John Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin University'I have had the wonderful privilege of personally experiencing and participating in the birth of Contemporary Praise & Worship. My heart wept as I read Ruth and Lim's masterful and comprehensive capture of our worship 'heritage.' But, as precious as our heritage is, this book is much more than a historical narration of praise and worship. The authors identify significant principles and pitfalls of contemporary worship expression. This book needs to be in every church leader's library and is a must-read for everyone who desires to be grounded in our heritage of praise and worship!'--Howard Rachinski, founder, Christian Copyright Licensing International, Inc.'A landmark volume. With remarkable breadth and analytical depth, this book provides the most comprehensive account to date of the liturgical forms that reshaped the landscape of Christian worship during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book will become required reading for courses in liturgy and worship, church history, and church music.'--Monique M. Ingalls, Center for Christian Music Studies, Baylor University.
