Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Reprint. Paperback. Previous owners name to inside cover. Sunned spine. For centuries Christians have referred to the New Testament for guidance on moral conduct. But did the writers of the New Testament themselves agree on such questions as divorce, political obedience, wealth and the toleration of other religions? And have their often inconsistent views any relevance today? In this book the author applies strict critical standards to the gospels, epistles and other writings, which he examines in historical perspective. His explanation of contemporary attitudes - including gnosticism - helps to clarify the striking moral differences between Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James and Paul. He attempts to discern the ethical standards and teachings of Jesus which are sometimes hidden in the present Biblical texts. And finally, he relates the moral injunctions of Christianity's central text to the modern age. 134 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). …

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Christian Spiritulality is a hot topic in religious publishing today. inevitably, therefore, much of the writing that is produced is designed to catch the momen, to cater for the latest fashion in techniques of prayer and Christian formation. This book is very different and resists the temptation to make prayer look easy. it is, in fact, a comprehensive restatement of the classic mystical tradition in Christian prayer and, though it is lucidly written and avoids technical jargon, it is demanding of the reader, since it is an invitation to explore the depths as well as the heights of Christian prayer. 149 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Impression. Paperback. Very slightly sunned spine. A good relationship with god is as necessary to a human being as food and shelter, education and friends. But to establish this relationship , says Father Mark Gibbard we must go on a rela journey of exploration in a search for God which will always be personal and perhaps often full of doubts. What reality does the word 'God' stand for? Wjat does Jesus Christ mean for us today? How necessary is the Church? Whar about life to come? What is the real value to us of prayer, contemplation and worship? These are the questions which Father Gibbard has himself had to face and these are the problems he invites us to explore with him. He stresses the importance of the love of God and the love of our fellow men and woman to make us fully human. Running through this book is a theme of prayer, and it is this centrality which is particularly inspiring. 117 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Sunned spine to cover. Series Foreword by The Archbishop of Canterbury. This book considers the three main tendencies of Anglicanism (Evangelism, Catholicism and the Middle Way). After looki8ng at doctrine, priesthood, episcopacy, establishment, politics, internationalism, ecumenism and comprehensiveness, it predicts that all three tendencies will survive and may be joined by others. The conclusions and points will often be found controversial. But the author believes that 'Angelicanism will remain a loose international conglomerate of Christians believing many different things. Its unity will be constantly strained: its members will be constantly tempted to disunity, but not above what most of them are able to bear. Anglicanism has the experience of containing differences, the tolerance of theological adventuousness, the confidence and prestige born of long existence, to carry this off. And truth, that elusive commodity made up of as many parts as matter itself, will be served as a result'. 102 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). …
